What snacks do you like to eat?
I like to have some yoghurt, nuts or fruits between meals like blueberries, mangos, and oranges. I don’t eat sweets or cakes much because they’re high in calories. Too much intake of these snacks will lead to obesity easily. I don’t want to put on too much weight.
Did you often eat snacks when you were young?
Yes, when I was a kid, I had a sweet tooth. I used to eat a lot of candies, chocolate bars, cakes… . As a result, I had serious tooth decay, and I remember what a nightmare it was every time when I went to the dentist.

Do you think it is healthy for you to eat snacks?
Well to my knowledge, most snacks are over processed, so it’s definitely not so healthy for me to eat a lot of them or eat those kinds of food frequently. I tend to have some in my spare time, just eat in moderation. After all, snacks taste good and they can also put me in a good mood.
When do you usually eat snacks now?
In most cases, I eat some nuts before I go to the gym because it’s said that almonds are good for muscle recovering and building. And I also eat some dark chocolate when I don’t have time to eat meals. It can put my mind at ease and I really love its bitterness.

What is your favourite snack?
A snack I really enjoy (although not the healthiest) has to be salt & vinegar chips! Honestly, anything generally sour is wonderful, as a kid I used to eat lemons right off the tree. Apart from this, I love hummus and crackers, fresh veggies, and anything baked or homemade!
When do you usually have snacks?
It depends what I’ve been eating and what my schedule is like, but my blood sugar issues can require me to eat something every two to three hours. I’m more likely to need a snack between breakfast and lunch than between lunch and dinner.

– the name and the genre of the movie
– what it is about
– what you like about it

SAMPLE ANSWER
One movie I find myself revisiting frequently is “The Shawshank Redemption,” a classic drama film based on Stephen King’s novella. It’s a blend of drama and crime genres.
IELTS Speaking Test
The story centers around Andy Dufresne, a banker who is wrongly convicted of the murder of his wife and her lover. He is sentenced to life imprisonment at Shawshank State Penitentiary, where he forms an unlikely friendship with fellow inmate Ellis “Red” Redding. Over the course of two decades, Andy navigates the brutal realities of prison life while secretly working on an elaborate plan to escape and seek redemption.
What I adore about “The Shawshank Redemption” is its profound exploration of hope, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit. The film delves deep into the complexities of the human condition, portraying the enduring power of hope even in the darkest of circumstances. The friendship between Andy and Red, portrayed brilliantly by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman respectively, serves as the emotional heart of the story, offering moments of warmth and camaraderie amidst the harsh realities of prison life.

I find myself drawn to “The Shawshank Redemption” time and again because of its timeless themes, masterful storytelling, and stellar performances. The film’s poignant narrative, rich character development, and poignant moments of triumph and tragedy never fail to leave a lasting impact on me. Moreover, the film’s beautiful cinematography, evocative score, and memorable quotes add to its enduring charm and appeal.
Ultimately, I rewatch “The Shawshank Redemption” often because it is more than just a movie; it’s a profound meditation on the human experience and the transformative power of hope and friendship. Each viewing reaffirms my belief in the resilience of the human spirit and leaves me inspired to face life’s challenges with courage and optimism.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do you think watching movies is a good way to improve one’s English language skills? Why or why not?
It certainly does, and in more ways than one. The obvious benefit is exposure to the language in all its forms – words, pronunciation, and intonation. We see those used naturally and subconsciously pick them up, all while enjoying your favourite film. The brain does not perceive this as an arduous training exercise, but rather a form of entertainment.
This in turn facilitates learning. Another less straightforward benefit is diving into cultural aspects of the language. In order to use a foreign language efficiently you also have to have background knowledge of its culture. Any language is full of historical or pop references, and without at least basic knowledge of such no amount of learning will make you proficient at speaking or understanding.
IELTS Speaking Test
Some people argue that movies can have a negative influence on young people. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Let’s start off by stating the obvious – young people tend to be quite impressionable. That is, they haven’t developed healthy skepticism that comes with age and experience and they tend to be gullible and easily inspired. Not always a bad thing in itself, it makes them vulnerable to various influences associated with movies and their antagonists or protagonists.
As an example, the main character can be a heavy smoker, but a young person’s mind sees it as a cool thing, and they want to imitate it to look like their favourite movie hero without any regard for the danger smoking entails. Same could be said about violence that is a major trope in most movies nowadays. Exposure to constant shooting and fighting on screen normalises it in young peoples’ minds.
