IELTS SPEAKING INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO
What is your full name?
My full name is Fatima Arora.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Fatima.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
Do you have a pet or ever had a pet? [What it is/was?]
Yes, I used to have a pet a long time ago when I still was a child. The pet, I used to have, was a beautiful-looking parrot.
IELTS Speaking Interview
What kind of pets do people like to have in your country?
Well, to tell the truth, most people in my country don’t really have much of a fascination for a pet. However, the rest of the people in my country, who like to have their pets, would choose cats, dogs, birds and fish as their pets.
What kinds of pets are common in your country?
I would say that cats, dogs, birds and fish are some common types of pets in my country. Some people choose wild animals, like rabbits, also as their pets.
IELTS Speaking Interview
Do many people in your country have pets? [Why? /Why not?]
No, as far as I know, most families in my country don’t have pets at their homes. I think around one out of ten families, in my country, have pets, primarily because our culture and tradition don’t exactly encourage us to have pets in our houses.
Do you have good handwriting?
I think that I do have good handwriting since I always used to get extra points for my good handwriting when I was attending my elementary and high schools. Besides, my teachers and classmates often praised the way I write. So I like to believe that my handwriting is nice.
IELTS Speaking Interview
How did you learn your handwriting?
If I remember correctly, I was made to use lined papers and notebooks to practice handwriting again and again in order to learn good handwriting. I was also taught about how to hold a pen and maintain a relaxed grip when practising writing both by my parents and teachers.
Do you like receiving hand-written letters? [Why? /Why not?]
Yes, I like receiving hand-written letters since it feels more alive with a more personal touch and effort than the electronic mails or emails that we mostly use for written communication these days.
How important is handwriting in this era of computers?
Unfortunately, in this era of computers, the internet and email, the appeal of handwriting is almost lost since people choose typing on a computer as a mode of communication at offices, schools, colleges and universities. So, I guess that it is fair to say that handwriting is not really that important in this era of computers as it was in the pre-computer eras.

PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a foreign cultural festival that you like
– What it is about?
– How you know about it?
– What difference there is between that culture and your own?
SAMPLE ANSWER
The manifold cultures are a set of learned behaviors, beliefs and norms of a specific group of individuals. Our world is full of a variety of cultures and it is something that makes every community unique. I’ve had the opportunity to experience some of the cultures when I was on a recent reunion trip to Nepal with my schoolmates. As one of our friends was from Nepal itself, we came across different cultural traditions that are practiced in that region.
IELTS Speaking Interview
We planned our trip in November, during our festive break. Surprisingly, a similar festival was taking place in Nepal which was enriched with rituals and the citizens of the country were busy decorating, making most of the festive mood. The ritual that fascinated me the most was a festival called ‘Kukur Puja’ which literally means the worship of dogs. The people of that country devoted a mini-festival solely to human’s most devoted friend faithful companion.
Being a dog lover myself, it really delighted me to witness these adorable canines treated with special love and admiration. During this festival, the Nepalese offer flower garlands and delicious food to their pet dogs as well as stray dogs which symbolized their sacredness. This particular festival is not practiced in the culture I come from. Animals, especially dogs are ill-treated and mishandled not only in India but other parts of the world as well. Humans use them for scientific experiments while some slaughter them for meat.
In Nepal, dogs are considered as mankind’s guardian. After talking to some of the inhabitants, I learned that they trusted dogs to accompany them on the way to heaven. I felt extremely overwhelmed to be a part of this heart-melting festival of Kathmandu.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
What do you think is the biggest problem when working in a foreign country?
As I assume languages and foods are the major hassle to work in a foreign nation. Because those two are important to working in foreign country, if it is not there people will get afraid to work there.
Some people say that reading is the best way to learn about a culture, do you agree?
Yes, reading is one of the ways to learn about a culture in other countries. But, also exploring other countries will also help you to learn about other country’s cultures. A lot of people cannot afford to go to different countries. Thus, they can learn about different culture through reading.
IELTS Speaking Interview
How did you feel when other countries’ cultures followed in our country?
It seems good to youngsters and for kids, but older people will not like it. Because older people would not love those kinds of culture, they will say that people should live with some discipline. These activities are not good for our society and so on. They start to give advice to us.
What do you think does which countries culture was good and attractive?
We should not make any mistakes on other countries’ cultures, but the most attractive culture is owned by India, but they have so many formalities and many kinds in each and every thing like for prayer, food, clothing etc. Each state has a different way of food, clothes, and way of prayer.
