IELTS Speaking Part 1: HELP


1.Do you like to help others
2.When was your last time you helped others?
3.Did your parents teach you the importance of helping others?
4.Have you ever refused to help others?
5.Would you like to keep helping others in future?

Frankly, I am very happy to help others, especially my neighbours, , getting alone well with neighbour is also very important to lead a happy life.
Well, let me tell you about a time when I helped someone not familiar. One day in the morning, I met a neighbour in the shop who was an old lady and also lived in the same building as me. She just bought a bag of rice and was ready to take the heavy bag home. I saw the bag was quite heavy and she was trying to life it up. I walked straightly to her, and told her that I could help her take the bag home. She was very thankful and agreed to accept my kindness. I could feel that she really hope someone could stand out and do her a favour at that moment.
When I was young, my parents and teachers taught me a lot about helping others. It is the core virtue in my culture, the solidarity of community is the thing that keeps members off society connected so we are always willing to help each other
Yeah, sometimes when I am in hurry or in business I have to say apology to refuse other's ask for help

IELTS Speaking Part 1: Photography


PHOTOGRAPHY
1.Do you like to take photographs? (Why?)
2.Do you prefer to take photos yourself or to have other people take photos? (Why?)
3.How long have you liked taking photographs?
4.How (Why) did you become interested in photography?
5.How often do you take photographs?

7.What kind of photos do you like to take?
8.Do you prefer to take pictures of people or of scenery?
9.Who do you take photos of?

11.Do you keep your photographs on your computer?
12.Are there any photos on the walls of your home?
13.Do you frame (of have you framed) any of your photos? (If yes, which?&why?)
14.Do you prefer to send postcards to people or to send photos that you took yourself?
Yes, I am a big fan of photography in my spare time. I always travel around to the stunning natural scenery with my camera. I have been in the habit of it for almost 8 years. The main factor is that I can
capture the precious moment in my life, such as the graduation ceremony, or the sweet moment with my girlfriend, and also I believe the photography will cultivate my mental development.
If I were to choose between the two, I'll probably go with taking photos of others because I feel that different people have different characteristic, so the photos will be distinguishing. Whereas, I barely take a selfie because it will make me embarrassed.
Normally, I'll probably go with the scenery to take photos because I really enjoy the marvellous natural scenery such as the seashore, sunset and twilight, but if I take my son travelling around, I'll take photos of him to capture his happiness.
I store my photos both in my computer disk and Internet for backup. And besides I have a photography website running for 4 years, keeping all my premium photos there.
Yes, I used to print some photos of my kid to hang them in his room, which can help us memorise the warm moment we had together.
Well, if I were to choose between the two, I'll probably go with my own photos because they are unique and seeing a lot of comments from friends is really a pleasant thing. Whereas postcards are not as meaningful as photos taken by myself.

IELTS Speaking Part 1: Snack


SNACKS

1. Do you like snacks?

- No, not really. I generally prefer to eat at meal times rather than graze between meals.

- Yes, I do. Around mid morning I usually have some fruit and then about 3pm I have some biscuits or something like that.

2. What kinds of snacks are popular in your country?
- Well, I guess that most people eat junk food like crisps, chocolate and biscuits for their snacks.

- I suppose official workers mainly eat junk food like biscuits but other people sometimes eat fruit or something healthier.

3. Do you think eating snacks is good for your health?
-I think that if you’re hungry, it’s perfectly fine to have some fruit but if people eat junk food between meals, then it’s really unhealthy.

-I think all kind of snacking between main meals is bad for your health. If people avoided snacking, they would be much healthier and less over weight.

IELTS Speaking Part 1: Swimming

Swimming
1.           Can you swim?
Yes I can. I learnt at school when I was about 7 years old. Swimming lessons were compulsory at our school, like most schools I think.
2.             Are there many places to swim near you?
Yes, there are a few public swimming pools. There is the main indoor one at a big sports complex in the center of town. There are also a couple of outdoor ones, but you can only use them in summer as it is be too cold in winter. One is a big one in a park, the other is a much smaller one.
3.              Do you think everyone should learn to swim?
Of course, I think it's very important. Firstly, you spend much of your life on holiday by water, for example, when you go to the beach on holiday, so you won't be able to enjoy yourself with your friends if you can't swim. Also, for safety reasons it's very important. You often hear about sad accidents involving young children so it's very important.


IELTS Speaking Part 1: Letters or Emails

       Letters or Emails
1.Do you write many letters or emails?
2.Who do you usually write to?
3.Do you prefer to write letters by hand or to use a computer?
4.How often do you write an email or a letter?
5.What are the differences between emails and letters?
6.Is it hard to think of what to write?
7.What kinds of letter/email do you think is the hardest to write?
8.How do you feel when you receive a letter or email?
9.What sorts of letters or emails are the most difficult to reply to?
10.What kinds of emails (or letters) do you receive that make you feel excited?
11.Which do you prefer to make a phone call or write an email?
12.Do you think people will still write letters in the future?
13. How do you communicate with others at work - by emails or is it more convenient to communicate face-to-face?
Yes, I almost write emails for my clients as part of my job on a daily basis. There are many things I have to write, for example, I usually write end user training for my clients to teach them how to use the system, or I write the development guide for my technical staffs to tell them how to code. If I were to choose between the two, I'll probably go with writing things with a computer. I believe that in the age of fast living and a culture of convenience, writing things with computers can bring people convenience and efficiency. Whereas, hand writing is really time consuming and hard to share.
Well, between the two, a letter is printed or handwritten on actual paper and sent through the mail while an email is typed on a computer, tablet or smartphone and sent electronically. While emails have become a more popular way of communication for individuals and businesses, traditional letters still have a place in today's modern, tech-oriented society.
Normally it seems like a daily routine for me to write emails to my clients about how to use the system; but if they complain to me about the poor user experience, I sometimes really find myself getting stuck in explaining to comfort them.
I would be feeling both honoured and excited to receive a letter or email from other because the sender has spent time writing it. Especially when someone writes to me to appreciate me or compliment me about my responsible work.
Well, if I were to choose between the two, I will probably go with writing an email because I can have plenty of time thinking about how to express my opinion correctly and clearly, besides, the whole conversation can be tracked in the mail list; whereas, you know, making a telephone call usually leads to misunderstanding because sometimes it is not very accurate and obscure.
I believe that as a major method of communication between people, letter writing has a vast and interesting history; besides, handwritten letters are personal. They show the receiver that someone has spent time and effort in communicating with them. They are a way of connecting two people that cannot be achieved through the impersonal use of texts or instant messages. Therefore, I feel that the handwriting letters are irreplaceable in the future.
