PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Rashiko Shimkura.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Rashiko.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here you go.
Do you play any sports?
Not as much as I should. I’m really busy with my job these days, so I don’t get the chance to do as many sports as I would like. I try to play basketball on Saturdays for a couple of hours and I occasionally play golf.

Have you played basketball for long?
Since I was about 10 years old, I remember playing a computer game about basketball when I was about 10 and it made me obsessed with the sport. From then on I played basketball every day until I went to university and then other things took priority, but I regret not maintaining it because it was something I loved doing.
Do you watch sport on TV?
Football is my favourite sport to watch on TV. I’m terrible at football but I love watching it on TV, especially big games like the Champions League. I follow Liverpool Football Club.
What is the most popular sport in your country?
In my country there are two dominant sports Gaelic Football and Hurling. Gaelic is a little like soccer but you are allowed to pick up the ball with your hands and you can kick the ball over the bar for one point or in the goal for 3 points. Hurling is played with sticks and a smaller ball and involves hitting the ball over the bar or in the goal.
How do people in your country stay fit?
We are blessed with beautiful countryside and a nice temperate climate so most people either go running or walking. Lots of young people play field sports, but more and more people are joining gyms. Gyms have really taken off recently as people worry more and more about their appearance. I think it has much more to do with how good people look rather than actually keeping fit.

SAMPLE ANSWER
BEST Speaking Test IELTS, 7th October
I am going to be talking about the worst movie that I have watched in my entire life. Its name is “Deadpool”.
It was a sunny Friday morning a year ago when my bestie and I had nothing to do but to wander around the city with no specific direction. Suddenly I caught sight of the movie poster for “Deadpool” when we were waiting for the traffic light at the intersection. And as you may probably guess, we were in the cinema, just 15 minutes after that, with our box of popcorn, ready to enjoy the movie. But in fact, it was one of the worst decisions that I have ever made.
The main character is a man whose superhuman ability was activated after being injected with a serum to cure his cancer, the movie was full of violence with a lot extreme fighting scenes, blood, gruesome torture scenes and an excessive use of bad language. While others, including my friend, were applauding in excitement, I found myself suffering from a splitting headache. In fact, I was about to leave when it was about one-third of the way through the movie, but as my friend kept insisting me to stay, I remained seated, wishing the time would fly faster.
I supposed Deadpool was not that bad as many youngsters were still fascinated by it, and more importantly it became a success and won many awards. However, it is simply because the movie is not my taste and the inhumanity, even to bad people, is something I couldn’t stand. My friend told me its sequel would be released soon, but to me once was enough for my suffering.
Thank you for your listening.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
What kinds of films do children like to watch?
Cartoons, definitely. It is because cartoons are full of animation and color, so they grab children’s attention very easily. In fact, it is quite natural for a young mind to be more attracted to the fantasy world rather than the reality that they may have no idea about. On top of that, the fast-paced action in cartoons also brings children visual pleasure, that’s why they can enjoy watching cartoons for hours without getting tired of them.
What is the difference between watching movies at home and at a cinema?
There are a lot, I guess. One of which would be related to the sense of comfort. I mean watching a movie at home can be more relaxing as you are free to eat, drink or make loud noises as you wish without worrying about bothering others like in the cinema. However, when it comes to the quality of the movie itself, the cinema is definitely a better place as it offers a big screen with lively sound effects, which helps audiences enjoy the movie to the utmost.
To what extent do films influence a country’s culture?
From my observation, it can be the fashion in films that partly influences what people wear. As a matter of fact, after certain films are released, the national fashion trends are updated with some new items or the style of some traditional costume is modified. Take “Co Ba Sai Gon”- a Vietnamese movie as an example, just a short time after the movie was released at the cinema, the traditional “Ao Dai” with vintage patterns become so prevalent among the youth.
