Model Answers

Two different ways to answer the same question. Both answers offer the examiner a range of vocabulary suitable for the topic.

  • Question: Do you like camping?
  • Answer: Yes, I do. There’s something really exciting about being out in the forest, sleeping in a tent and cooking food over the campfire. It’s lovely to feel so close to nature. Unfortunately, I don’t get much chance to do it.
  • Answer: No, I don’t. I hate the idea of sleeping in a cramped tent and eating awful camp food. I would much prefer to sleep in a hotel where I had my own bathroom with a power shower. I honestly don’t know why people enjoy it.

  1. My name is Shruti from India and recently took IELTS Test. I GOT 8.5 IN SPEAKING!!!! I practiced thoroughly from the various topics and vocabulary you have given and I owe my result to your tips.

    I practiced almost 20 questions from a wide variety of topics before the day of the exam and that’s what helped me crack it.

    • You can say anything you want. You definitely do NOT have to give reasons why you like a certain colour or certain weather. Reasons are not marked. Ideas are not marked. Go to the main speaking page of this site and see all the model answers – you will soon learn how they are extended.
