IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Holidays

Holidays are the time when people move from their regular work and meet friends and family or possibly travel. This time we are looking at some questions that can be asked in the IELTS speaking section.

What do you usually do in your holiday?

I live faraway from my hometown so whenever it is time for holidays, mostly I just go back home and and have a get-together with my family and friends to celebrate holidays. But there are times I travel to broaden my horizons or do some soul searching or sometimes just to write in a picturesque landscape.

Who do you usually spend your holidays with?

Things have changed over a span of time. Earlier, during vacations we would visit our grandparents and other members of the clan. But, with changing times and the hectic work schedule, I just get time to meet my parents and friends during holidays. Also, it depends on the kind of holiday. So, for festivals I prefer going back home, but for long weekends I prefer travelling alone.

Do you prefer travelling alone or in a group?

I’d say travelling is fun, be it with a group or single. But, then for me, it depends a lot on the location as well. So, I prefer my gang for a beach party at Goa but then if I have to go to Almora or Kasauli I prefer being alone.

Are holidays important to you?

Holidays are the perfect time for thinking over it all over again after a year of doing so much. I think holidays come as a time when you can relax and spend some quality time with your loved ones and plan ahead for the upcoming year. So, yes, definitely holidays are essential.

If you could take a holiday anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why?

Out of all the places in the world, I would love to go to Uttarakhand, my home state. I want to know about the place and its history and meet people. I have lived there for 6 years and have even travelled to many other places. But, the beauty, diversity and love that one can get in Uttarakhhand, its difficult to find it anywhere.
