IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW

You may address me as Patyu.

Sure, here you go.
IELTS Speaking Questions,
Do you like taking photographs?
Why yes of course. They are a way to capture a moment in time. Moreover, I like to be able to show them to people so they can imagine that they were there with me. As I’m a big traveler, photos are my way of sharing my experiences without words.
How often do you take photos?
I would say every day. I’m a big fan of selfies, so I often snap a few of them to send to my boyfriend every morning before work. Moreover, I take hundreds of photos when I travel.
In which situation do you like take photos?
Any situation! But especially when I see something out of the ordinary. For example, I like to take photos when the light is setting just right on my street, or when I catch a glimpse (a look) of two children holding hands.
IELTS Speaking Questions,
Do you prefer to take pictures of people or of scenery?
Definitely people. I like to capture the raw (real; candid) emotions on their faces. I feel that photos of people can be quite powerful. Moreover, I feel that scenery photography never does the actual place any justice.
Do you prefer to take photographs yourself or to have other people take photos?
Definitely myself. As I’m quite picky about the photos that I take and post, I take this responsibility upon myself. Call me a snob (a person who feels superior to others), but I feel that most people don’t have any idea of what makes a good photo and end up taking unflattering photos of me.

SAMPLE ANSWER
There are a number of stories that are popular in my country Like the thirsty crow, the greedy dog, unity is strength and so on. Here I would like to talk about a story which is very popular in not just my country but in the whole world. It is the story of a thirsty crow I heard it so many times from my grandmother in my childhood.
IELTS Speaking Questions,
It was also there in my KG book. People in my country know about this story through the elderly at home and through school books. Everyone likes this story because it teaches moral values of life in a simple and interesting way. Now I would like to tell the story. Once upon a time there was a crow. The crow was very intelligent.
One day it became very thirsty. It wanted to quench its thirst. It looked for water everywhere. But nowhere could it find the water. Then it found a pitcher with a little water at the bottom. The crow could not reach the water. It pondered and immediately hit upon an idea. It gathered pebbles and dropped them in the pitcher. The water level rose. It drank the water and quenched its thirst. The moral of the story is that at the time of adversity you’ve to use your wits.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Has storytelling changed over a period of time?
Yes, definitely. Everything changes with time. My grandmother used to tell me stories from her memory, and had no book in her hand. Now, I see my sister reads out stories to her children from the various books she buys from the market. Telling stories to children has also largely been replaced by watching TV. Grandparents, parents and children are glued to the TV screen for long hours and there is no time left for story telling.
Which way is better, traditional storytelling or the use of technology in storytelling?
I believe the traditional method is much better. It has a personal touch and increases the bonding between parents or grandparents and children. Unfortunately, it is dying out and programmes like curious George and Chhota Bhim are taking its place.
IELTS Speaking Questions,
Do you think that generally most of the people are good at storytelling?
It is very difficult to generalize and answer this question. One thing is sure, and that is that we all tell stories from time to time in our life. Some people are born story tellers and can bind their audiences for long periods of time. They can concoct stories on the spur of the moment. It is difficult to tell whether their stories are fake or real.
