IELTS SPEAKING TEST
PART – 1 INTRO

You may address me as Casio.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
IELTS Speaking Test
Is your voice similar to that of a family member?
I don’t think so. My parents have heavy local accents from central Vietnam while I don’t. I guess it’s because I was born and raised in the south. Not to mention that my parents’ voices are much thicker than mine.
Do you enjoy recording your voice and listening to it?
I used to feel quite awkward when recording and listening to my own voice, but now, I really enjoy it. Actually, it’s the thing I do every day to become more fluent at speaking English. By listening to my voice, I can easily check my pronunciation, fluency and intonation.
IELTS Speaking Test
Was your voice different when you were young?
I’m not sure but I don’t think there have been any significant changes in my voice. I’ve always had this high-pitched voice. To be honest, I don’t really like my voice because it doesn’t sound “mature” at all.
Does everyone have the same voice?
I guess not since I have never met two people with the same voice, let alone everyone. Voices vary from person to person and it either will be different in pitch, volume or tone.
Are you using the same voice all the time?
Probably no. Whenever I am in a heated discussion , I often raise the tone and volume of my voice in order to place more emphasis on the message I am delivering.
IELTS Speaking Test
When do people smile to each other?
There are hundreds of moments that can give somebody a smile, like when you receive a “thank you” from someone, watch a funny video, or to create a good impression. The last time I smiled was when I saw a random cat video on Facebook yesterday.
Do you smile when people take a photo of you?
Normally yes. I consider myself a photogenic person, so I’m not afraid to smile as bright as possible whenever a camera is pointed at me. I think the key to having a beautiful smile is confidence in your appearance no matter what.
IELTS Speaking Test
Can you feel it when someone’s smile is fake?
Sometimes. I remember watching Mark Zuckerberg giving a speech and notice his ingenuine smile because his smile always ended abruptly. I guess that’s one way to identify a fake smile.

SAMPLE ANSWER
Lectures are one of the best ways in modern days to transfer knowledge to people. Many professors and teachers give lectures in different fields to empower people with education. I have also attended many such lectures.
One such memorable occasion was when I attended a lecture that was delivered in our school auditorium. It took place when I was in the twelfth standard, right after my half-yearly exams in September. I was notified about it a week ago and on the day of the lecture, we assembled in the auditorium.

The lecture was from a teacher which was a part of a career counseling team that specializes in providing expert advice to students regarding career issues. The faculty, Mr. Amitabh, came on the stage promptly and went to the podium in order to greet all the attendees. His lecture was vastly detailed and covered topics such as career possibilities, options for higher studies, social stigmas and pressure a student might face, and intellectual development ideas.
Firstly, he started with informing us about various career opportunities and the path to follow to achieve success. Moving on to the social stigmas, he then spoke at length about how to come over such issues and be resolute about the decisions we make. A quite innovative lecture, it covered a lot of ideas through audio-visual mediums as well and was very informative. I got highly impressed by the lecture and took home a better understanding of the decisions I had to take for my career. It was a learning experience and answered all my doubts regarding my future.
