Nowadays, people pay more attention to preschool education, and parents are eager to send their children to a high-quality kindergarten.

(Topic:-Advertisement)IELTS Speaking PART-1 Question & Answer

 

IELTS Speaking PART-1 Question & Answer(Advertisement)

Note: In the first part, a candidate is asked a variety of personal questions. In light of this fact, suggested answers should be modified to meet your own personal circumstances.

Advertisement

1)   Are there many advertisements in your country?

Yes, there are. We are surrounded by advertisements, which occupy a lot of space in our life. I am fed up with the advertising messages sent to my cell-phones, which inform me of the sales of houses by estate agency, sales of clothes in a certain mall, and so on.

Or

Yes, there are too many advertisements in our daily lives. In fact, advertising has become an industry. It has become the backbone of many economies of the world. Ads are ubiquitous nowadays. We see ads on TV, newspapers, hoardings, and flyers. We also get ads through the radio, cell phone, and the Internet.

2)   Why do you think there are so many advertisements now?

For one thing, the competition is severe among manufacturers and companies who offer the same type of product or service. By investing in the advertisement, they are better known to the public, so as to achieve high sales. For another, the various ways of advertising available make it possible for them to publicize their product or service.

Or

There are so many advertisements because there are many products, and the manufacturing companies are competing with each other. They have to advertise to stay in the race. So we have an advertisement for almost each and every product that is available.

3)   What are the various places where we see advertisements?

We can see advertisements everywhere. They are printed on newspapers and magazines, painted on the wall of various buildings and on the buses running around the city, broadcasted on TVs and radios. Moreover, they are sent to us through our cell-phones and we are exposed to advertisements when we surf on the internet.

Or

Advertisements are all around us. We have advertisements in newspapers, magazines, on TV, on the radio, and on the Internet.

4)   How do you feel about advertisements?

I dislike advertisements. Advertisements do offer us useful information, but most of them are to promote stuff for people to consume. I hope more space, no matter that on newspapers or walls on the buildings, be used to publicize public service advertising, advocating people to have a healthier life.

Or

I feel that advertisements are a necessity. Apart from telling us about products they are also telling us about the working of these products. Ads also touch social issues. However, I also feel that ads are very disturbing at times.

5)    What kinds of advertisements you like the most?

I like advertisements for publicizing kinds of activities, such as concerts given by singers, promotion of a well-known brand with a celebrity coming to the opening ceremony, or charity program. I appreciate the opportunities to see in person my favorites musicians and actors coming to take part in the activities.

Or

I like adverts that have a touch of humor. I also like advertisements that touch social issues.

6)   Do advertisements (ever) influence your choice about what to buy?

Yes, they do, to some extent. There are times when I waste money on things I don't need on sales, which I know from advertisements. Advertisements, however, offer me information about various brands of what I need. I tend to buy things advertised most, though I know I am charged more as the expense of advertising is added to the cost of goods.

7)   Do you like advertisements on TV?

No, I don't like that. I am tired of wasting my time on advertisements broadcasted before or during the program I want to see. That's why I prefer to watch programs on the internet, where the amount of advertisements is less.

8)   Do you prefer advertisements on TV or those in magazines?

I prefer advertisements on TV, which are more vivid than those in magazines. TV advertising makes full use of language, sound, words, images, action, and performance, etc, to entertain people. Besides, they take up diverse forms of expression, such as telling a story to move the audience, inviting a celebrity to participate, or making up a funny cartoon, by computer technology, to amuse the audience, all of which leave a deeper impression on the audience.

 9) What do you think is the purpose of advertisements (or advertising)?

As the name suggests advertisement is a public promotion of some product or service. Advertisements are mostly used by manufacturers and companies to make their product or the service they offer known to people, which is an effective means of publicity.

 10) Do you think advertising plays a very important role in today's world?

Yes, it does. Besides promoting a product or service, advertising provides people with a wide collection of news. For example, there are various activities held in Delhi every year, like the Indian international advertising festival, which are broadcast months ago before their opening date, to inform people of relevant information.

11)     What sorts of advertisements leave the deepest impression on people?

The public service advertising impresses me the most. As we know, smoking does great harm to people's health, and more people suffer from passive smoking. A public service advertising aims at this is on the broadcast. A smoking man appears, followed by a woman and a child who cough badly and then fall down. It is exaggerative but does well in warning people of the danger.

Being busy

1)    Are you busy recently?

           Yes, I am. I’ve been preparing for the test, and I am on training for a driving license. I have a training lesson once in three days and have to get up at 6 o’clock so that I can have more time to practice in the morning when it’s not so hot. I feel exhausted after staying in the car for three hours.

 

2)    Are you busy recently? (If not) When was the last time you were busy?

           No, I am free recently. I had a busy autumn holiday when I signed for a driving license. I had a training lesson every other day and had to get up at 6 o’clock so that I could have more time to practice in the morning when it’s not so hot. I felt exhausted after staying in the car for three hours.

 

3)    Do you like being busy?/ Do you prefer to be busy or to be free?

           Yes, I like being busy. Sometimes I feel lost when I am free at home. Many of my friends prefer to relax at home, and they enjoy sleeping or watching TV for the whole day, which is impossible for me. I'd rather do some laundry or go to the gym to do some exercise.

 

4)    Was there a time when you felt stressed out (or under pressure) because of a busy schedule?

           There was once I felt stressed out, and it was about years ago, which was still impressive. That day I had to take a certification test which I signed up months ago, however, unexpectedly I received a phone call telling me to go for a job interview in the afternoon. It took about two hours for me to get the interview after I finished my test. I was nervous about taking exams or going interview, and I had to confront both on that day, which was really a tough day for me.

 

5)    Have you experienced stress at work?

           Yes, I have. There were times when I had to finish difficult projects, and it’s stressful when I had not done well as planned while the deadline was coming. Thanks to the advice of my colleagues, I made it. I did feel terrible on times like that, but I appreciated the suffering, for no pain, no gain.

 

6)    How do you handle stress?

            I prefer to get rid of stress by singing or doing exercise. I used to call up my friends and sang songs in KTV, though I am not good at singing. We sometimes lost ourselves in singing until we were hoarse. When the weather is fine, I prefer to go hiking or cycling to get myself exhausted. Then I can get sound sleep to get myself refreshed.

 

7)    Do you think you will be busy in the next few years?/ Do you think you will be busier in the future than you are now?

            Yes, I think so. Firstly, I need to learn as much as I could, so that I won't fall behind others. At the same time, I will spare some time to be with friends and some time to accompany my family. Life with family and friends around is more enjoyable.

 

(Topic:-Work or Studies)IELTS Speaking PART-1 Question & Answer

 

IELTS Speaking PART-1 Question & Answer(Work or Studies)

Note: In the first part, a candidate is asked a variety of personal questions. In light of this fact, suggested answers should be modified to meet your own personal circumstances.

Work or Studies

* Do you work or are you a student?

I'm a student. Now, I’m studying at Xyz University Which is located in Xyz province/city and my major is Xyz, which requires us to do a lot of relative practice. I'm about to graduate next year, but I want to pursue my master's degree in Computer Science.

Or

I'm a high school student in ABC high school. I'll graduate next year and I'm planning to study in the UK because I think the education system there is very advanced. I hope I can get into a good university so that I can be competitive in the job market when I graduate.

Or

I'm working. I have been working in a private company in my hometown for two years. I think the job is very suitable for me because I could use what I have learned at school and of course, there're also a lot of new things for me to learn in this field.

 

 

1) Your Work

 

1)   What job (or, what work) do you do? What do you do in that job?

I'm an accountant in a private company in Abc. My job involves a lot of calculating and tabulating. Sometimes, it's hard to explain what I do because I don't produce or sell products, but I think my job is important for the company.

 

2)   Why did you choose to do that kind of work(or, that job)?

I chose to be an accountant because I majored in accounting when as was in the college. And I had already accumulated some work experience by doing part-time jobs before I graduated. What’s more, the job suits my character and my interest.

3)   Would you recommend the job to other people?

Yes, I recommend it to people who are majored in Business or Accounting. They may be able to put the knowledge they have learned in the courses into practice. And it is a well-paid job.

 

2) Your Studies

 

1)     Do you like your major?

Yes, I do. I actually chose my major by myself because I'm interested in science since middle school. When I was a child, I always wanted to be a scientist. Now, I feel I'm closer and closer to my dream.

 

2)   Is that a popular major in your country?

Yes, it is. It's comparatively easier for engineering major students to find suitable jobs because there are a lot of manufacturers in India and they all need professional engineers to work in the R&D department or their factories. I guess the prospect of this major is bright.

 

3)   Is it difficult to learn your major?

Kind of. My major involves a lot of math and physics theories, so if one wants to be excellent in this field, you must know the foundational knowledge well. Sometimes, we also need to do some lab work and I think the most difficult part is to put what we have learned into practice.

 

4)   Do you think it's important to choose a subject you are interested in? (Why?)

Definitely. It's probably true for everybody. When you're interested in something, you can put more effort into it and you're more likely to succeed. However, if you have no interest in something, you probably can do it, but it's hard to be good at it. So, teachers should try their best to arouse students' interest and help them to learn consciously and students should choose something their interest lies in.

 

5)   What’s the most enjoyable part of being a student?

It’s hard to say. As a student, I can learn knowledge and don’t need to work to earn my living. However, sometimes, I feel it’s hard to be a student because I have too much workload and so many things to learn.

 

6)   For you, what's the most interesting part (or subject or class) of your course?

I like practical knowledge. When I learn something about my future work, I would always feel excited. I feel I'm not only learning some theories but the real skills for my career. It's the most interesting part for me.

 

7)   (For high school) What’s the most interesting of your subjects at school?

I love science. I think science classes can help me know the wonders of the universe and tell me the laws of nature. Because of my science classes, many questions I have had since I was a child have been solved.

 

8)   What are your future work plans? (after you graduate)

Now, I’m planning to pursue a master’s degree in the UK. After my graduation, I would find a job at one of the world’s best enterprises because there will be more promotion opportunities in such companies. I don’t mind starting from a lower position, but eventually, I want to become a department manager.

9)   Who do you think is more important, the students or the teacher?

I think both. The classmates can create a group atmosphere, which could be warm, hostile, or indifferent. If you have a bunch of good classmates, you could get help from them in your studies or social life. Teachers are also important. They could teach professional and moral knowledge. If the teachers are dedicated, they could influence the students learning outcomes and world view.

10) Are there anything special about your teachers and classmates in this major?

Yes. Professors and students studying science tend to be a little nerdy. We don’t mind spending a lot of time reading or doing experiments. It’s probably true that many of my classmates are not very sociable; however, there’re always exceptions.

11) How should teachers teach?

Teachers shouldn’t only teach, they should help students learn well and arouse their interests. Since we will leave school sooner or later and there’s still a lot there for us to learn, teachers should foster students’ self-teaching abilities so that they will become lifelong learners.

 

12) Will children tell their parents when they face difficulties in their studies?

It depends on the children's personalities. A lot of children like sharing what happened at school, things both good and bad. It's always good to get help from their parents. However, some children feel it's embarrassing to tell their parents their bad grades at school, which might make them want to hide the truth from their parents.

13) Do you think it's good for teachers to praise the students when they do something good and point it out when they do something wrong?

Of course. When children get approval from their teachers, they'll be motivated to do better in the future. When they do something wrong, they also need someone to remind them. However, it's not good to give compliments all the time and too much criticism can also create hatred and make students rebellious.

14) What subject(s) are you studying?

I am studying Business. There are many specialized courses related to it, such as Introduction to Business Conference, Marketing Strategy and Business Law &Company Law. I have to study general courses for all college students as well.

15) Why do you choose to study that?

I chose to study Business because I dreamed to be a businessman since I was a kid. You know, both my parents are businessmen and I have been greatly influenced by them. I am determined to learn the courses well before I can really set about to practice.

 

16) What school/university do you go to now?

I go to Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, one of the best universities in India. Many great scientists and artists, such as Hemchandra Kekre and G. Naresh Patwari graduated from this university. There is also a different field to learn something new like Arts & Humanities, Language & culture and Medicine & Health so on.

17) How long have you been going to that school/studying your subjects?

I’ve been studying here/this subject for 3 years. Being a junior, I have finished all the required general courses and most of my major courses. That’s why I am preparing for the IELTS test and further education.

 

18) Do you like studying at that school/university?

Yes, I enjoy studying there very much. With a river flowing nearby, the environment of the campus is quite good. Convenient facilities are available in teaching buildings, the library and mass-media rooms all day long. And teachers help a lot both in the class and in our daily life.

 

19) What's the most important thing/part of your study life?

It's hard to say. As a student, I think I should first learn the courses well. However, a lot of my classmates and I are doing part-time jobs in our spare time in order to accumulate some work experience and social experience. I think both of them are also essential when we are to find jobs.
