Travel # Speaking Section

Travel and transport is the most common topic for the IELTS speaking and often tends to come in the speaking part II or III of the IELTS. It although can even come in the part I of the speaking section.

Let us have a look at some of the possible questions with their sample answers.

Do you tend to travel often?

I love travelling and visiting new places. Although to be honest, at present, because of the work schedules I am not able to travel very often. But when I do get time, I usually pick up my bag and go explore the places.

What according to you is the best time to travel in your country?

Considering the  varied seasons in India, I think it is almost like it depends where you want to go and what season or weather suits you. For instance, someone who loves snow can go visit Kashmir and Jammu or Shimla during the period of December to February. For those who like rains, Bombay during the monsoon seasons is the best place to be. And if you want to enjoy the beaches you are most welcome to Goa. So, I think with India it is always a season to travel, it all just depends on your personal choices.

What are some of the places you would recommend a foreigner to visit in your country?

India offers some great places to visit. You can go to Goa for an awesome party. Dhauladhar ranges if you like trekking. And then there is Kashmir that is regarded as the heaven on Earth. You can enjoy scuba diving in Andaman or camp in Ladakh or explore wild life sanctuary in Almora. Apart from these there is Taj Mahal, Red fort and other monumental sights
