IELTS Speaking Test Intro Questions
Keys
Yes, it is better to entrust your house-keys to your neighbor when your whole family is going somewhere.
A trustworthy neighbor can take care of your house in your absence.
If he/she has the keys, he can open our house, otherwise in emergency situations he/she has to resort to breaking the locks – which is unnecessary and a costly option.
Jewelry
The reason varies from person to person.
Some people like to wear a golden ring or a silver bracelet for a long time, because that has some special meaning to them. Either this was a gift or something they bought for themselves on a special occasion.
There is also a great majority of people who try to imitate the movie stars. They wear golden chains which were worn by their favorite hero in a movie. Such is the madness among movie fans in India.
Happy Things
Happiness is buying new things for my parents and people who are special to me.
People think that they will feel happy if they buy new things.
But, they just keep on hoarding unnecessary stuff whereas happiness eludes them.
Writing
I love typing because it’s easier and faster than writing by hand.
Although I would prefer a fountain pen if I have to write on paper.
Weather
What kind of weather do you like the most?
I like winter season as it is a very mild season. I love warm sunshine on a cold winter morning.
What’s the weather like in your hometown?
I am from Ahmedabad that has the tropical weather. It consists of mainly three seasons : winter, summer , and rainy seasons.
Do you like the weather in your hometown?
Yes, I do. I like the cool atmosphere during the months of December and January. And the initial days or rainy season I also enjoy very much.
Do you prefer dry or wet weather?
I don’t like the wet weather. I have some weird reasons for that. One day it rained so heavily that I was completely drenched by it while coming home.
I didn’t have my raincoat with me, and my mobile phone was fully soaked in rain-water. And this permanently damaged my phone.
In a dry season, at least our mobile phones remains safe.
