Is cooking popular in your country?
Yes, I think it’s popular. Most young girls learn from their mother or grandmother about how to cook the most popular dishes.
Who normally does the cooking in your house?
My mother does most of it-although I often help her when I’ve time, or if we’re having a large meal together as a family.
Would you like to learn how to cook?
I would like to learn to cook food of other countries, maybe Chinese cuisine, which is quite popular here among some people in my country.
IELTS Speaking
Why do you want to learn cooking?
I think cooking can be a creative activity, when it is not just for feeding the family every day. I find it relaxing when I do it for fun and like to experiment with different ingredients.
Do you think cooking programs on TV are useful?
I think they are interesting and can give you some motivation to try different things. My problem is I can never remember all the details that I see. It’s only the idea or so when I try to make something it never turns out the same as it did when the chef on TV did it.

SAMPLE ANSWER
IELTS Speaking
I’m going to talk about my 18th birthday party, which is one of the most memorable events in my life.
At that time, one of my friends had decided to study abroad, and therefore, I wanted to throw a party to celebrate my birthday and give her a farewell party as well, so I came up with the idea to have a barbecue party in my backyard. After about 2 hours of preparing all the ingredients, the meal was finally ready, and we all wolfed the food down quickly because we were so starving and because it was so scrumptious!
After that, we enjoyed some cupcakes for dessert and talked. I was really impressed by the idea of one of my besties, who said that she really had a strong passion to run a café, and we talked about it for 3 or 4 hours.
If you ask me about my feelings of that day, I would say that it was such a memorable time and I cherish all the memories they gave me from that party. I realised that we have all come of age since then, and we all have our own paths to follow, so maybe we will never get another chance to hold a party like that again. Therefore, I have always attached a lot of importance to that day and consider it to be a symbol of our long lasting friendship.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do you think people are less willing to cook meals by themselves these days, compared to the past?
Yes, I think most people nowadays lead very hectic lifestyles so they get used to fast food, meals that they can easily find at restaurants or even canned food. Many years ago, when many Vietnamese people were farmers, food like rice or other produce sometimes were abundant in their own house, so it would take them less time to prepare meals. Furthermore, cooking was a traditional activity of our ancestors, so they spent more time cooking than people in our modern society.
Do young people like to spend time with their families or friends?
I believe this will depend on what kind of people we are talking about. I mean, to those with a sociable personality, spending time with friends is not only a good way to have fun but also a time to cultivate their friendships which will help them at work. On the other hand, family-oriented people prefer staying with their family members because we all know family is always the most important. There are many kinds of young people, so I think their options are varied.
