IELTS SPEAKING INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO
What is your full name?
My name is Anamika Goyal.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Anamika.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
How important is the internet to you?
Extremely important. I depend on it for work, research, study and entertainment, so without it I’d be complete lost. How often do you use the internet? I use it constantly throughout the day, every day. I check my emails when I get up in the morning, I use it for work all day and then I watch videos, read books or listen to music through it at night.
Do you use it more for work or in your free time?
I’d say both really. About 50% of my job involves researching and writing on the internet so I would use it for about 4 hours a day. When I get home, I’m normally too tired to go to the gym or play sports so it is really easy to download a movie or stream some music and I normally do that until I fall asleep.

What are your favourite websites?
For work my two favourite sites are WordPress and Google. WordPress is a blogging tool that allows you to publish blogs easily and maintain a professional looking website. Google of course allows me to find the information I need quickly and accurately. In my spare time, I of course use Facebook like everyone else in the world, but my favourite site is The Guardian because it allows me to keep up to date with everything that’s happening.
Do you use apps?
I’m a bit of an app addict. My favourite app at the moment is one called Stitcher. It allows you to listen to podcasts and helps you discover new podcasts. You can download them and then listen to them whenever you have time.

PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a time when you were cheated/ when someone lied to you / someone did not tell you the complete truth.
You should say:
– What was the occasion/ What the situation was?
– When this happened?
– Who was the person?
– What did he hide about?
Why do you think the person did not tell the whole truth?
Model Answer
There have been many times in my life when I felt cheated. Sometimes the person lied to me and sometimes some truth was hidden, which is also as bad as being lied to. Here, I would like to talk about an occasion when my mother lied to me.
Actually, it was my 16th birthday, and my mother had planned a surprise party for me. When I got up in the morning, I observed that everybody was behaving strangely and nobody in the home wished me properly. When I asked them what the matter was, they just shrugged their shoulders and said that it was a routine day and they refused to admit that their behaviour was any different. I was very upset, but I got ready and went to school. My friends were also behaving very strangely on that day and were discussing things with each other, but when I went near them, they would stop talking or change the topic.

Actually, my mother had invited all of them and was making plans to come to my home that evening. My mother had obviously told them to keep it a secret from me. I could smell something fishy in their behaviour, but could not make out what it was.
I felt very low and sad. After school when I reached home, I found that my mother had decorated the drawing-room with balloons and buntings and had baked a special chocolate cake for me. All my sadness disappeared and I hugged my mother tight. She had hidden the whole plan from me because she wanted to surprise me. She just wanted to see my happy face. Her joy is in making me happy.
When my friends arrived, we all had a hearty laugh and then we enjoyed the snacks prepared by my mother. We also danced a lot late in the evening.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
1. Do you think telling White lies is acceptable sometimes?
To be honest enough, most people consider it socially acceptable as telling lies is an integral part of human nature, and often makes life a little easier for everyone. Moreover, white lies are harmless and do not hurt the sentiments of others. For example, You might tell a friend you love their outfit, even though it’s not your favorite. It is all about sparing people’s feelings and smoothing over awkward social situations.
2. Do you think honesty is the only important quality that should be in a person?
In my opinion, being honest is one of the most important qualities in a human being. However, there are various other aspects that are equally significant for a successful person, such as discipline, intelligence, helpful nature, a good sense of humor and many others.

3. Do you think children should be taught honesty in young age?
Well, the child mind is very tender and they can grasp things easily. Children imitate or learn from their parents, so it is easier to mold them accordingly. Honesty is something parents can teach without any extra effort. They only need to be taught how to behave or act in society at a young age.
4. Do you think being completely honest all times can be not good?
Well, we always say that honesty is the best policy. However, being too straightforward at times means being too blunt. It may sound rude or even hurt the feelings of our near and dear ones. For example, telling upfront to someone if he or she sings pathetically might break his or her self-esteem. Telling the entire truth depends upon the circumstances. If telling the complete truth will make us unsafe, ruin our reputation, or cause harm then being honest does not worth always.
