13.If you had a child, what leisure places would you go to with your child?

Well, I enjoy self-driving travelling in my spare time. I always drive my car with my friends or family to the rural areas of Beijing during the weekends to loosen up. I feel that self-driving travel can not only enable me to go somewhere I want to at any time, but I can also make my own itineraries and discover the stunning places that others may not find.

Normally, I'll hang out with my friends because I want to loose up, but after being a father, I spend more time at home to stay with my kid, telling stories to him or playing games with him.

If I were to choose between the two, I'll probably spend more time at home to stay with my kid, telling stories to him or playing games with him, whereas, hanging out with friends will reduce my quality family time with my son.

Oh, definitely not, you know, modern lifestyle can bring people convenience, however, the modern fast paced society and fierce competition have made most people spend more time with work, resulting in less quality time with family and friends.

Yes, definitely. After tiring work, people really need to loose up. Apart from earning money, I still need to enjoy family time, hang out with friends to socialise and travel around to experience different lifestyle.

Well, between the two, old people are fond of slow-pace of life compared to young people, for example, old people enjoy walking in the garden or chatting with old friends, on the contrary, young people are fond of energetic activities such as football and hiking in the mountains.

Well, it's kind of hard to say but people that I know around me tend to hang out with friends for dinner, but maybe for others, they will probably go shopping with family in the shopping malls to enjoy themselves.

Well, I'm really into taking my kid travelling around in the natural scenery spots during the weekends to loose up. Although travelling to other places is really time consuming, I still like going out because I believe that staying close to the nature can cultivate people' s mental development

IELTS Speaking Part 1: FILM

           FILM

1.Do you like to watch films?

2.Do you prefer foreign films or Chinese films?

3.How often do you go to a cinema or watch a movie?

4.Do Chinese people like to go to a cinema to watch a film?

5.What kinds of movies do you like best?

6.What was the first film that you watched?

I'm really into watching films because some films are very entertaining and provoking. I sometimes go to cinema with my friends and family to enjoy our leisure time in the weekends.

Well, if I were to choose between the two, I will probably go with the foreign films, especially the Hollywood films because most of them are well-acted, with lots of charismatic celebrities and always are enormous box-office hit; whereas you know, the Chinese films are almost low-budget, so they are not as attractive as their American counterparts.

I go to cinema to watch movies from time to time. Normally if I'm not busy with my work, I'll check out the movies to see whether there are any movies that attract me; but if I have lots

of things on my hands, I'll probably focus on my work.

It's kind of hard to say but people that I know around me tend to like watching movies in the cinema, but maybe for others, they just prefer stay at home and watch TV programmes.

As for me, I like the drama films the best because sometimes they just tell simple but warm and heartfelt stories with provoking endings, which would touch on my deepest emotions.

The first film that I watched was the The Lion King many years ago in the cinema with my parents. What I can remember now is the terrific animation and the amazing soundtrack. I particularly liked

the song Can You Feel the Love Tonight that I knew it was produced by Elton	John	later. And I'd
learned lessons from this movies. It was about living up to our responsibilities,	no	matter how
hard it is.

1.What public holidays do you have in your country?

2.Do people in your country celebrate Christmas?

3.Do you like public holidays?

4.Which public holidays do you like the most?

5.What did you do during the last public holiday?

7.What would you like to do during then next public holiday?

8.Do you think public holidays are important?

9.Do you think there should be more public holidays in your country?

We celebrate a lot of public festivals in my country. I am sure you know about the Spring Festival which is the most important one. In addition, we get together with our family for the Mid- Autumn Day and the National Day.

Yes, there are so many people in my country, it's really hard to say, probablymost people tend to go

shopping with families or friends to take advantage of the salesthe shops are offering,butpersonally speaking, I am afraid we don't celebrate Christmas like the way in Western countries.

Yes, I am fond of holidays. The main factor is that on these days, I don't have to work and have plenty of time travelling around to unwind myself and also I will have more consecutive time with my family.

I believe my favourite public holiday would be the National Day because I will have at least seven days to go travelling and also it's the best time to go around, the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, and the foliage of trees have turned yellow or red, which will give you picturesque views.

It's kind of hard to say but people that I know around me tend to go shopping with families or friends to take advantage of the sales the shops are offering, but maybe for others, they probably stay at home for resting.

I believe the public holidays are rather important and there should be more of them in my country. The main factor is that people really need unwind themselves without any distractions after tiring work and also public holidays can dramatically boost consumption as the goods will be sold at a discount during these days.

IELTS Speaking Part 1: MUSEUM

1.Are there many (or, any) museums in your hometown?

2.Do you think museums are useful for visitors to your hometown/country?

3.Do you often visit a museum?

4.Did you go to any museums when you were a child?

5.When was the last time you visited a museum?

6.Do you think museums are important?

7.Do you think it's suitable for museums to sell things to visitors?

Not so many, actually there is only one museum in my small county about the local history. It allows the local residents to know better about their traditions and historical celebrities.

I go to the museum a lot, when I come to the new place, I'll find some local museums that have interesting features. The museum I visited last time was the Guanfu Museum located in the rural area of Beijing. It is a private-owned museum featuring Chinese antiques like porcelain, furnitures, jade and some paintings.

Museums are really important in protecting, preserving, propagating and researching numerous human treasure. Once the antiques are in the museums, they are permanently out of circulation, which means they can be seen by public.

Yes, the reason is that generally, most museums are nonprofit organisations, and these goods are their large portion of income, except the tickets, and also partly because these items are closely related to the theme of the museums, which cannot be bought in most other bookstores or shops.
