IELTS Speaking Part 1: TRANSPORTATION

TRANSPORTATION

1.What's the most popular means of transportation in your hometown?

2.How often do you take buses?

3.Can you compare the advantages of planes and trains?

4.Is driving to work popular in your country?

5.Do you think people will drive more in the future?

6.Would you ride bikes to work in the future?

7.What will become the most popular means of transportation in China?

8.Do you prefer public transportation or private transportation?

Well, I guess people in my hometown always ride bike to go work or somewhere else because my hometown is a small town and it's very convenient to go out by bike.

I barely go out by bus because I have my own car now, so I always go somewhere by car.

Well, between the two, travelling by planes is relatively very fast, for example, it just takes three hours for me to go between Beijing and Shanghai which covers distance of 1500 kilometres; on the contrary, travelling by trains is an increasingly cost-effective alternative to planes, particularly if I'm going a relatively short distance.

Yes, people that I know around me tend to go to work by car because it's very convenient to drive, but I believe that maybe for others, they just take buses to office because it's cheap and always on time.

Yes, I believe that as people earn more money and lead a better life, they will tend to buy cars for their families, and apparently drive cars to offices.

Oh no, it's impossible to ride bike to work because you know, Beijing is a big city,	I always drive
about 20 kilometres to office, so I'll be late if I ride bike.

I believe private transportation will be the most popular means of transportation in my country because as people get richer in the following years, people will tend to buy cars for their families and business for various purposes, and obviously China has already become the biggest vehicles market in the world.

Well, if I were to choose between the two, I'll probably go to work by my own car because apparently it's much more comfortable than in the crowned bus or subway.

IELTS Speaking Part 1: TRAVELLING

TRAVELLING

1.Do you like travelling?

2.In which seasons do you prefer to travel?

3.Would you say your country welcomes travellers? (or tourists)?

4.Would you say your country is a good place for travellers to visit?

You bet ! I am a big fan of travelling around. I spend months all together each year to go somewhere else. I feel that it's not only an indispensable part of my life, but also can culture my mental development.

I guess the autumn is the best time to travel. As it is neither too hot nor too cold, people will feel comfortable to go out. Besides, as the foliage of trees will turn yellow or red, you will find the picturesque views all around you. Wherever you go, you will experience a memorable trip.

Yes, Chinese people are renowned for their hospitality to visitors. And there are also numerous tourist attractions around the country. For instance, you can visit the natural landscape to see the picturesque views, or you can go to the historical relics to know the events through the long Chinese history, or you can just stay at the metropolises to experience the local people's lifestyle.

MEMORISING

1.What do you remember to do every day?

2.What helps people to remember things?

3.Why do old people forget about things easily?

4.Have you ever forgotten something important?

Well, there are many things I have to remember to do every day. For example, after getting up in the morning, I need to take some simple physical exercises like doing some crunches andpush-ups. Besides, another important thing that I should keep in mind is to teach my son to read the traditional Chinese poems in the evening.

Well, it's kind of hard to say but people I know around me use the to-do-list apps in their mobile phones to help them remember what to do next; but maybe for others, they may probably write the urgent things down in the notebooks.

Well, I guess it's quite normal that people are more and more forgetful when they are becoming ageing. Apart from some negative emotional factors like stress and depression, elderly people are easier to forget things because of their normal ageing.

Oh yes, I nearly forgot the birthday of a woman I liked last time. I once asked her what her birthday was, and told her I would send her a gift, but I just unbelievably forgot it until the evening that day. Fortunately I asked her out to dinner to celebrate with her.

IELTS Speaking Task 1: TEXT MESSAGES

        Text messages

1.Do you text someone if he doesn't answer your phone?

2.Is there any chance when texting someone is better than calling him?

3.Have you ever had difficulty replying?

4.How often do you send text messages?

Yes, when my friends can't answer my phone, I will text him to let him know and wait for his reply.

I believe when the person answering the phone is having a conference or in a cinema, it's better to text him instead of having a telephone call.

Yes, I remember when I have to refuse some requests of friends, I have to think carefully about how to reply for a long time.

I almost send text messages on a daily basis. I always text my friends and family to greet, chat and make a travelling plan.

12.What are some methods that newspapers use to attract readers?

13.What influence do you think newspapers have on society?

14.Do you think the internet is a good way to get news?

Not very often. Newspaper always take time to get published so that they are not so updated. Besides, I have to go to the kiosks and spend money to buy newspapers. It's quite troublesome.

Well, if I were to choose between the two, I'll probably go with reading magazines in my spare time because they are well printed and always have in-depth reporting on some particular events; whereas, you know, newspapers always report the same news as the Internet, so they now seem to be not so indispensable.

I'm more interested in newspapers about foreign cultures. I like to learn about their religions, customs, and the foods they eat. Occasionally, foreign news interests me, too. I really like reading scientific related news.

I got the habit of reading newspapers when I was in high school, 18 years old maybe. The library in my school had several kinds of newspapers and magazines so that as long as I had free time, I'd like to go to read some news about the latest political events, sports and fashion news.

Yes, I feel that it's very important for me and other people to know what happened in the domestic and international events.

It's kind of hard to say but people that I know around me tend to read the political news because they are interested in what happens in the domestic country and abroad, but maybe for others, they just care more about the sports and fashion events.

Well, if I were to choose between the two, I'll probably go with reading domestic news because they are closer to home, and affects me more; whereas, you know, international news sometimes have nothing to do with my daily life, so I just read the headlines.

Well, I feel that newspaper agents always try to use the bold headings, attractive advertisements, and insights in the article to get the readers' attention.

Well, I guess that newspapers have a great influence on society. Newspapers keep them informed about economy, political activities, science, education. Besides, it gives a true and correct picture of the society, country. Moreover, they also help us to educate people about their rights and duties.

Yes, getting news from internet is a regular source now because it's very convenient for me to get news from internet such as mobile phone. The news apps in my mobile phone usually send me the most urgent notifications to me so it keeps me posted.
