Where can they go out for entertainment, or to enjoy themselves? Example Answer Of course, if one does not love spending time in museums, there are options to go out for drinks or networking while doing sports. It is possible to find an appropriate occupation for everyone!       Which do you prefer: eating in restaurants or eating at home? Example Answer Since I love trying new things out, eating out is my preferred option - I always go for dishes that I would never cook myself otherwise. Which are the best places to eat out? Example Answer To me, the best restaurant is one that combines good food and exceptional atmosphere. I know only a couple of such places in my city and I wish there were more! How much time do you like to spend out of home? Example Answer I am keen on spending time away from home, especially when it comes to working. I find so much more inspiration and motivation when not stuck in my house. Where do you like to work? Example Answer When I am not at office, I tend to go to a park or a cafe, where I can smell pleasant odors, drink a cup of tea or coffee and distract myself from time to time. Do you like taking photos? Example Answer Yes, for me - taking a photo is not only the process of capturing a moment and storing it in some kind of an endless memory, it's also art. I find it so creative to look for a perfect background, a pose, a model, and then - finally take a shot. Part 1: Introduction and Interview [This part of the test begins with the examiner introducing himself or herself and checking the candidate’s identification. It then continues as an interview.] Pre-test introduction - reminder Before the test starts, you’ll have a brief conversation with the examiner as they introduce themselves, confirm who you are and check your identity . The questions they’ll ask you in this pre-test introduction aren’t marked, but they are  your first chance to make a good impression . Don’t forget to smile and don’t be put off if the examiner doesn’t seem very friendly - it's not you, they just might be a bit tired. Examiner : opening statement: ... Good morning/ afternoon, would you please tell me your full name? Student : Yes, my full name is ( Chinese full name ) however, please call me by my English name ( English name ). Yes, my Chinese name is ( Chinese full name ) however, you can call me ( English name ). Examiner : Thanks, can I see your identification, please? Student : Yes/ Sure, here is my ID/ identification. Examiner : Thanks. We can now get started with the first part of the exam. In the first part, I will ask you some personal questions. First, I'd like to ask about... 7 Ways To Develop An Extended Answer In IELTS Speaking Part 1, the examiner will be looking for a good range of vocabulary and grammatical structures. Developing your answers in different ways will ensure that you impress them with your language skills. Here are 7 different ways you can extend your answers: 1) Explanation 2) Combined Details 3) Examples 4) Frequency 5) Contrast 6) Past Comparisons 7) Future In the following examples, we’re going to work with one question and look at 7 different ways of developing an extended answer to it. I’m not going to worry too much about paraphrasing the question in these answers as I want to focus on other aspects of sentence structure. Question :  How often do you socialise with friends? Simple answer :  I socialise with friends several times a week.
1) Explanation The easiest way to add extra information to a simple answer is to include an explanation. Connective words like ‘ because ’ are ideal for this. Question:   How often do you socialise with friends? Extended answer :  I socialise with friends most evenings after work and at weekends  because   I live on my own, which often gets me down. Going out with friends or having them round means that I don’t feel so lonely. 2) Combined Details Another simple way to extend your answer is to join two pieces of information with the word ‘ and ’. Question :  How often do you socialise with friends? Extended answer :  During the week, I generally meet up with friends two evenings after work  and   on Saturdays, I go shopping with my best friend. Sundays I save for seeing my family. 3) Examples A great way to develop your answers in IELTS Speaking Part 1 is to add an example. Question :  How often do you socialise with friends? Extended answer :  I usually see my closest friends several times a week. Like this week , I’m meeting my best friend for a drink this evening, then we’re going to the cinema with some girls from work on Friday, and on Saturday we’re all meeting up at a party. 4) Frequency Words expressing frequency are invaluable for developing answers. Common words include: always usually normally generally often frequently sometimes occasionally seldom hardly ever rarely never Question :  How often do you socialise with friends? Extended answer:   I  normally/ usually   see friends most days of the week, especially my best friend who I  generally   catch up with after work. At the weekends, a group of us  often   go to the park to play football or chill out. 5) Contrast Connectives that express contrast are equally useful for extending answers. For example, but        although        however        even though        despite        while Question :  How often do you socialise with friends? Extended answer :  I try to meet up with friends several times a week,  but   rarely on a Sunday because that’s when I visit my family.  However , every few months, I cook a barbecue Sunday lunch and invite both my friends and family around. 6) Past Comparisons Sometimes in IELTS Speaking Part 1, you’ll want to compare the present situation to what happened in the past. The phrase ‘ used to ’ is useful here. Question :  How often do you socialise with friends? Question :  How often do you socialise with friends? Extended answer :  I  used to  socialise with my friends every day, but I don’t see them so often now that I have a baby and can’t go out in the evenings so much. We probably meet up just a few times a month now. 7) Future Finally, there will be times when you want to make a comparison between what happens now and what you think will happen in the future or what you want or intend to do in the future. I'll = I will Question :  How often do you socialise with friends? Extended answer :  Currently, I hardly see my friends at all as I spend all my spare time studying for my IELTS exam. When I pass the exam,  I'll meet  up with my mates most evenings like I used to do and spend weekends with them as well. Tips Stay on topic Listen carefully to the question and make sure you are answering it. Don't talk about something completely different just so you can talk for longer. 
Extend your answers Give reasons for your answer. This can be a useful way to extend your responses. Always explain WHY you have given the answer that you have.
Don't speak excessively Extend your answers but don't go on too much. This will only mean the examiner will have to keep interrupting you to move onto the next questions.
Be honest but positive Try to remain upbeat and positive even if you are saying you don't do things or don't enjoy things you are being asked about. You can always put a positive slant on your answers.

E xtra Information

Question:   Where is your hometown? A: I am from a small town in Scotland called Mid Calder. C: It is a small town around 20km from Edinburgh and It has a population of around 8,000 people. E: It is a very old town and the church there is over 700 years old. I love to take my dog to the church for a walk as it is really pretty.

Question: Would you like to learn to play a musical instrument? Yes, I would love to learn to play an instrument.
Ideally, I would really like to play the guitar as I think it is a very beautiful instrument.
I once tried to learn but I wasn’t very good and it hurt my fingers a lot. Maybe I will try again in the future.
Try to answer the following questions using ACE. Do you prefer to do your hobbies alone or with other people? How long have you been studying English? Do you live in a house or an apartment? How often do you use a computer? How often do you play sports or do exercise? What is your favourite food? How often do you spend time with your family? 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: Transportation Transportation is a common everyday topic in many people’s lives so it’s not surprising that it's a popular subject in the IELTS exam. It makes sense to learn a good variety of transportation vocabulary to help you answer any questions that come up.
Things you could be asked about: Public transport in your town or city A specific type of transportation A journey you’ve made Common problems related to transportation Transportation & the environment The future of transportatio n 1) What kinds of public transport are there where you live? We do have a bus service in my area. It’s fine for people who live in the towns but not so regular for those living in the many small villages. There is also a train that goes to the nearest city a few times a day.   2) Do you prefer public transport or private transport? I definitely like private transport best. With my car , I can go where I want to whenever I choose to. To make a journey on public transport , you are not so independent .   3) How do you travel to work? In the winter, when it’s cold and wet, I drive my car to work but I always get stuck in a t raffic jam . As the weather improves, I go by bike to avoid the congestion .   4) Is a bicycle a good means of transport? Most certainly, because you don’t get held up in heavy traffic . Cycling also keeps you fit and is environmentally-friendly .   5) Do you think that there should be a separate lane for bicycles? I think that cycle lanes are a very good idea as they help to keep cyclists safe from vehicles . Since we introduced them in my country, more people have started cycling to work. 6) Do you like to travel by train? Yes, I quite like them. If you are on a train you can relax and look out the window, read, use your lap top - it's all quite comfortable. On the bus it's more difficult to do those things because there is less space and the movement can make you travel sick too. The only problem with trains in my country is that they are often delayed or late. That can ruin your journey.
7) Where do you usually go by train? It's usually on long trips across the country if I want to visit friends or I have an appointment somewhere. For short journeys around where I live or to work it's much easier to drive or take the bus. As I said before, you can do things such as read on the train so it's good for long journeys.
8) When was the last time you travelled by train? Er....I'm not quite sure, let me think. It was a while ago now. I think the last time was last year when I went up to see some friends I had not seen for a while in the north of the country. Yes, that was it. It was a journey of about 3 hours and I had to change trains once during the journey. The first train was a bit crowded and noisy as I think there were people on there going to a football match, but it was an ok trip most of the way.. Topic: Education It’s very common for candidates to be asked about their school, college or university experience, so a good range of education vocabulary is something you definitely need to develop. Here are some of the associated categories. Educational institutions Course types & levels Qualifications People in education Subjects & facilities Academic work
Opinion on wider issues: quality of teaching or education system in your country, equal opportunities, technology in schools after school activities and many more. 1) At what age do children begin school in your country? Formal education starts at five years of age but most children go to preschool when they are around three. This isn’t compulsory but really helps them to develop socially.   2) What kind of school did you go to as a child? My family moved around a lot when I was growing up so I went to many different schools including three primary schools , a grammar school and a co-educational comprehensive school . I even attended a private school for a year.   3) Did you enjoy your time at school? I can’t say that I particularly enjoyed my early education . With changing schools so often, I was always the new kid which I found hard.   4) Would you say you were a good student? Yes, I was definitely a good pupil . I was a quiet, shy child who never caused my teachers any trouble or played truant . I worked hard on my coursework and got on well with my peers .   5) Did you do any extra-curricular activities? Back in my day, there weren’t many opportunities to do extra-curricular activities . However, I was in the school choir at my secondary school . We use to put on concerts and one year we did a tour of Germany. Topic: Sport & Fitness Sport is an important part in many of our lives and is a topic that often comes up in the test. Whether we play a sport ourselves, are a fan who likes to watch sport either live or on TV, or we have little interest in sport, we all have an opinion on it and the famous athletes that regularly appear in the media. You might also want to talk about it when answering questions about your hobbies, leisure activities or school days. Overview of some of the things you could be asked about: Your interest in sport Your experience of playing a sport The popularly of sport in your country Sports facilities in your town or city Sport in schools Sports celebrities as role models Money and sport The importance of international sporting events 1) Do you like sport? I’m a great sports  fan . I sometimes watch on it TV but I prefer actually taking part in  sport .   2) What sports did you do at school? Sport  was my favourite thing at school. In the autumn and spring terms I played  hockey  and during the summer months we did  athletics . I even enjoyed  cross-country running  which most people hated.   3) How important is keeping fit to you? Keeping fit  is and very important part of my life. In fact, my friends would say I’m a bit of a  fitness fanatic . It helps to keep me healthy and I also  work out  to be in  good shape  for taking part in my  sport  of  rowing .   4) What do you do to keep fit? I do several things to  keep fit . I take  weight training  classes, go  jogging ,  train  on the water with my  rowing   crew and  walk  my dog twice a day.   5) Is violence a problem at sporting events in your country? There used to be a serious problem with  football   fans  getting involved in fights both inside and outside  stadiums  but a lot has been done to stop this happening. It’s much safer to go to  matches  now and they have become family events again. https://ieltstutorials.online/sample-questions/cue-card https://www.ieltsbuddy.com/ielts-speaking-samples.html
