Do you think the indoor activities and outdoor activities develop children's abilities the same way? Example Answer I think the indoor and outdoor games develop children's abilities in different ways. There is more social interaction when children play outdoor games. There is an opportunity to play in bigger teams when playing outdoors games, which leads to more awareness of other cultures and backgrounds the other children come from. Indoor games may develop better strategic and decision-making skills than outdoor games.       Do you think modern lifestyles encourage, or discourage, adults from playing games? Example Answer I think the modern lifestyle discourages people from playing games. People are busy with their hectic routines and do not get time to pursue hobbies and other pastime activities like playing games. What benefits do people get from playing games? Example Answer There are many benefits of playing games, both indoor and outdoor. It develops sportsmanship spirit, leadership skills, social skills, co-operative attitude, more exposure to other cultures, and many more. Sports can also be pursued as a career and it may bring a person name and fame.      Do you think group activities (including team sports) can help give a child a sense of responsibility? Example Answer Yes, definitely. Team sports can help a child develop a sense of responsibility. When playing in a team, each payer has the responsibility of leading the team towards a win by giving it their best. They need to co-operate and co-ordinate with others in the team to ensure that their performance adds to the entire team's performance, and doesn't hamper it. Similarly, in a group activity, each person has a role to play and a task to complete, which helps the entire project to be successfully and efficiently completed.       Do you play any indoor games? Example Answer Yes, I play carom board and cards with my siblings and parents.       Do you prefer to play indoor games or outdoor games? Example Answer It depends on the weather outside. In hot summer afternoons, I play indoor games. But, when the weather is good, I play cricket and badminton outside with my friends.

Qu 1: Describe your hometown? Example A: My hometown is Taipei City, the capital of Taiwan. It's a commercial city, located in the north of Taiwan and is known for its iconic building, the Taipei 101 tower. Its Mass Transit Railway network makes it convenient to travel around and enables you to see a diverse range of places such as night markets, temples, stadiums, parks, shopping malls and much more. Example B: My hometown is Lukang township. It's an old fishing town, located on the mid-west coast of Taiwan. Lukang is a historic town well known for its old streets and for its oyster omelette dish, which attracts many visitors. Qu 2: Describe your home? I live in a mid-sized apartment in a tower block, on the outskirts of Taipei. It has five rooms, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room. Qu 3: What do you do in your free time? In my (spare/ leisure) time, I like to do different things depending on my mood. For example, to keep healthy, I like to go jogging in the park. I sometimes go out with friends to a night market or watch a movie. To relax, I like listening to music or reading books. Topic: Hometown Where is your hometown? Do you like your hometown? Do you often visit your hometown? What is your hometown like? What is the oldest place in your hometown? What is there for a foreigner to do or see in your hometown? How could your hometown be improved? Has your hometown changed much since you were a child? Is there good public transportation in your hometown? Do you think your hometown is a good place to bring up children? Topic: Leisure Time What do you enjoy doing in your free time? How  much time do you have each week for doing these things? Why do you like doing these activities? How  did you start doing this activity at first? Is  there some other hobby or sport you would like to try? Why? How  has the way people spend their free time changed over the years? Topic: Work Q: What is your job? I currently work as an office manager at a large marketing company. I've been in the job for about five years now. I'm usually assigned to work with a specific business in order to improve its sales through various marketing strategies.
Q: Do you have to work with other people? Oh yes, all the time. It's a big office, and we all have to work as a team if we want to achieve results. I have colleagues I need to liaise with, such as the graphic designers, and I also have administration staff who work under me. And of course, I also have to work alongside the companies that we provide marketing for. So yes, I definitely have to work with other people.
Q: Do you think you will change jobs in the future? Well, that's not something I'm thinking about at the moment, as I really enjoy what I do and it's a really good company to work for. The pay is good, and they have other good benefits such as flexi-time and end of year bonuses. But that said, change is always a good thing, so I can't see myself being there forever. I'm sure I will change one day. Topic: Studies Q: What are you studying at the moment? I'm studying history at university. It's a four-year course, and I started it three years ago, so I have just one year left. I'm enjoying it a lot, so it will be sad to finish. Q: What do you like most about your studies? We learn about many things from the past, such as politics and wars, but I like learning about how people lived in the past the most. It's amazing to see how our lives have changed so much from the past up until now. In some ways, our lives have gotten much easier now, but in other ways, the simplicity of life in the past made people much happier. Learning about all that is fascinating. Q: What do you hope to do in the future when you have finished? I'm not sure at the moment, but I may go into teaching. This is why I'm doing the IELTS, as I intend to carry on and do a Master's in a specific area of history. I'll probably decide for sure what to do when I have completed that. https://ieltstutorials.online/sample-questions/cue-card https://www.ieltsbuddy.com/ielts-speaking-samples.html
