IELTS Speaking (June 25, 2016)

I took my IELTS Speaking Test last June 25, 2016 and these are the questions they asked me.

Part 1:
I probably should mention that while I was answering these questions, the examiner kept on asking "WHY?" even though I haven't  even finished speaking about my point which was kind of awkward at the same time. This somehow made me pause in between my sentences. I don't know if this would affect my score. I sure hope not. 

Home
Tell me about the house you're living in.
What do you like best about the house you're living in?
Is there anything you would like to change about your house?

Computers
Do you use computers often?
Do you think learning a computer skill is necessary?
What computer skill would you like to learn in the future?

Music
Do you like music?
When do you usually listen to music?
What kind of music did you like when you were younger?

Part 2:

Describe one of your best friends.
You should say:
How you met
What he/she is like
What makes him/her special
and explain what you like about him/her

Follow up question:
Do you have the same age with this friend of yours?

Part 3:
In this part I was asked about personal relationships like, "What are the advantages of being a sociable person?". I believe the other questions they asked me were more like follow up questions i.e., the queries were based on whatever my response was.
The other topics were about international relationships that were somehow related to sports and culture and international communication.

I'm sorry if I can't be of great help for this part since I basically cannot remember the questions the examiner asked me. However, I would like to emphasize the fact that the questions can vary. It all depends on how you answer them. Good luck!

Cambridge 11 Test 3 Writing Task 1

Sample: The data from the line graph illustrates the carbon dioxide emissions of an average individual per metric tonnes in four European countries every decade from 1967-2007.A closer look at the data highlights the fact that among the 4 nations, the UK has the highest rate in carbon dioxide emissions per person in 40 years. In 1967, there was approximately 11 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide released by an average Englishman which was about ten times higher than the emissions made by an individual from Portugal. However, it can be seen that as time went by, the carbon dioxide emitted by Englishmen decreased gradually to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007. On the other hand, a different trend can be noted in the countries Italy and Portugal where the emissions slowly rose from an initial rate of approximately 4 and 1 metric ton to about 7 and 6 metric tonnes in 4 decades. In Sweden, emissions increased to its record highest in 1977 w...

Cambridge 15: Academic IELTS Speaking Test 1

Please note that in the first part of the test, roughly 12 questions will be asked (3 topics). The topics are quite general so you do not need to explain your responses in too much detail.  As you can see, most of the questions in this test concentrate on the topic "Hotels and hospitality". We highly recommend assessing your own range of vocabulary about this topic by doing vocabulary review exercises such as listing all the words you know that belong to the scope of this topic. Try doing this with a time limit (2 minutes).  First, prepare a piece of paper and divide it into 4 sections. Make a table. Write "nouns", "verbs", "adjectives" and "idioms" as your headers. In two minutes, write down all the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and idioms you know about hotels and hospitality. DO NOT REFER TO YOUR DICTIONARY even if you're unsure of the spelling. This is your learning phase. Next, for another two minutes, list all the possible Synonym...

Cambridge 12: Academic IELTS Test 6 Writing Task 1 Sample (2 Maps: Islip town centre now and in the future)

Sample essay: The maps compare the physical features of Islip town center at present and its proposed refurbishment in the future. It can be highlighted from the visuals that there will be a lot of significant changes made in this area and that only a few establishments will remain. Looking at both maps, it can be seen that there will be commercial, residential and roadway improvements. At present, there are a few shops in between the main road and also some housing below the shops and near the school. In the proposal, the center will have a dual carriageway that will surround all the commercial buildings to be constructed in the center, making them more accessible. The main road will become a pedestrian road that will be next to a bus station, a shopping center, a carpark, and new housing. These buildings will be replacing the shops located on the northern side of the center. The shops below the main road will be unchanged. The school will remain in its original...
