IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Ethenako Shipropa.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Ethaneko.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here you go.
What would you like to change in your daily routine?
I would like to get up earlier in the morning than I do now. Next, I would like to take up regular exercises in a gymnasium. Apart from that, I would like to leave office/ university early to walk in the park for an hour. Apart from that, my current daily routine is all good.
Are all your days the same?
Not really. My usual office/ university days and days off are quite different. While in a typical day I remain busy at office/ university, I mostly stay at home during my days off. The routines are quite different as well. During my longer holidays, my routine changes and they are quite different than other busy days.
What do you usually do in your spare time?
As I told you, I mostly spend time with my family members and friends in my spare time. I often watch movies with them, play football and chess, and go out for shopping. I also read story books and maintain my personal blog in my free time.
What is your favourite colour? Why?
Blue is my favourite colour. This is probably because it is the colour of the sky and represents serenity, tranquility, nature and a decent personality.
Do you like the same colours now as you did when you were younger? Why/ Why not?
Yes, blue has always been my favourite colour. Apart from that, I had little interest in purple and green colour in my childhood that I started liking in my late teen ages.
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a time when you had to do something in a hurry.
You should say:
– what you were doing
– when this was
– why you had to hurry
and explain how you felt at that time
SAMPLE ANSWER
I’m going to talk about a time when I had to hurry to get ready for a trip with some colleagues while I was working in a previous job.
It was a Monday morning about five years ago. A group of us had to catch an early flight, and a senior member of our department had volunteered to drive us to the airport. I was supposed to be ready and waiting to be picked up from my home at 5.30am, and my colleague had asked me to look out for his car so that he didn’t have to ring my doorbell.
The problem was that I overslept. I had set my alarm, but somehow I must have turned it off and carried on sleeping. Suddenly, at 5.30am, my doorbell rang and I looked over at my alarm clock. I immediately realised what had happened, and I sprang out of bed and got dressed in record time. I splashed some water on my face, quickly brushed my teeth, and put my shoes on without properly tying the laces. Then I picked up my suitcase and coat, and left the house.
I can still remember the moment when the doorbell woke me up and I saw the time: I was filled with a sense of panic and fear as I realised that my colleagues were waiting outside. Then, when I left my house and walked towards the awaiting car, I felt so embarrassed because it was obvious that I hadn’t been ready on time.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
What do you always do in a hurry and why?
There is nothing I am a very organized person. I make sure to prepare things in advanced because I simply hate doing things in a rush. For me doing things in a hurry all the time is stressful and it is a sign of being irresponsible. I think being in a hurry all the time surely takes a toll on one’s mental health.
Is doing things in a hurry good?
Like I have just said I am not into doing things in a rush personally that is just mentally distressing. However, I admit that there are things that are beyond our control. That no matter how organized we are, we still get trapped on running behind schedule and that is because of unexpected circumstances like you suddenly get ill.
