IELTS SPEAKING INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO
What is your name?
My name is Tagh Jagh.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Tagh.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
Did you have a pet when you were younger?
Well, I used to have two cats and a dog when I was in kindergarten. I always love having pets around because I enjoy their company, and… honestly, I’m a bit scared to be alone in my house.

What kinds of animals do people like to have as a pet?
I believe it depends on personal preference. For me, I must say I am a hundred percent a cat person. It is almost impossible for me to go a day without seeing my cat. But some of my friends really prefer dogs since dogs are loyal and cheerful.
Do you think city is a suitable place to keep pets?
Yes, I mean why not. So far my cat’s been more than okay living in my apartment; he’s clean, well-fed and very healthy. But of course, it would be more enjoyable for animals to live in the countryside since the air is cleaner and there is a lot more space for them to run around.
Do you like being alone?
Oh, sometimes I do but again, all of us do once in a while, right? But honestly, most of the time, I would prefer not to be alone, which is why I have pets. They never fail to make me feel warm and welcome, sometimes even more than my friends.

SAMPLE ANSWER
I have not delivered many speeches in my life. Once there was an environmental fair in my hometown. A declamation contest was organised by a local NGO. Our school principal selected two students from our school to participate. A student from 10th was selected and I was selected from 9th class. We just got two days notice to prepare. I was very nervous. But, our teacher helped us prepare. She helped us prepare on Global Warming, a burning issue of today. I talked on the topic of global warming.
I spoke that the whole globe is involved in it. I said that we humans are the causes and we humans can lessen it.

I also told how the pollution which is caused by cutting trees, having more industries and cars and other human luxuries – is leading to global warming. Then I spoke about the effects of global warming. First effect is the rise in the sea level. This is because of the melting of mountain peaks. Second effect is the changing climate. We all know that summers are getting hotter and winters are getting colder.
Finally, we are having epidemics of diseases like malaria and dengue. This is because mosquitoes and flies prosper in the heat. I also told how to lessen this phenomenon by simple measures like: Not cutting down trees. Planting more trees. Using recycled materials. Saying no to plastic bags. I used to be very stage shy. But during that fair I spoke very nicely. My speech was appreciated by one and all. Then I realised that I too had oratorical skills.
We won the first prize. That really boosted my confidence. I was on cloud nine. I can never forget the day.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Why do people get nervous when they speak in public?
I think public speaking is the most common fear among people. There are many reasons why people feel nervous when speaking in public. It may be due to lack of confidence, lack of knowledge about the subject or the topic, hesitation due to the feeling that they are being judged or it may be because of shyness or an introvert nature.
How can they improve their public speaking skills?
Public speaking can be improved by gaining more knowledge about the topic or the subject. This will build up confidence. It can be practiced with friends and family, who can help improve the speaking skills by giving feedback. We can also make use of technology by recording our speech and replaying it. And getting a lot of practice before the actual event helps improve the confidence to speak in front of public.
