IELTS Speaking Part 1 Sample # Shopping

IELTS Speaking Part 1: Shopping questions
Shopping means procuring commodities in exchange of money. We all shop for ourselves or others and it is a part of our everyday life. However, different people have a dissimilar outlook towards shopping. Some consider it a great stress buster while others look at it as a waste of time and money. In today’s time, online shopping has gained immense popularity as it has many advantages over traditional shopping.

Question 1: Are there many shops near your home? (What kind?)
Answer A: Indeed, there are several shops near my house and a shopping complex as well. Most of the shops cater everyday needs like groceries, bakery products, medicines and stationery etc.

Answer B: Actually there is only one shop near my place as I’m living in the countryside. We normally shop from the main city mall every weekend and stock essential commodities for the entire week. Sometimes, I shop online for clothes, accessories, gadgets and other items.

Question 2: Do you like shopping? (Why? Why not?)
Answer A: Of course, I love shopping. I shop for my family and myself frequently. It lifts my mood and is also a good way to spend leisure time. Nowadays I am spending lot of time on online shopping as well.

Answer B: Well, I’m not very fond of shopping and prefer buying only the essential items. I feel that one must spend his/her earnings carefully rather than wasting it unnecessarily.

Question 3: Who usually does the shopping in your home?
Answer A: I’m a busy person so my wife does shopping for home. She visits the grocery store daily to get fresh fruits, vegetables and other kitchen supplies. She also shops online for toiletries, kids’ toys, home utilities and clothes.

Answer B: My mom generally shops for the entire family. She goes to the grocery store twice or thrice a week to get the kitchen supplies. She also purchases toiletries for all of us, according to our individual choices of soaps, perfumes and shampoos etc. However, we accompany her for buying our clothes and accessories.

Question 4: How often do you buy something in a shop?
Answer A: I usually buy chocolates, wafers and stationery twice or thrice in a week from the shop near my college.

Answer B: I rarely buy things from shops as I prefer online shopping for most of my needs.

IELTS INFORMAL LETTER APOLOGIZING TO A FRIEND

IELTS INFORMAL LETTER #APOLOGIZING TO A FRIEND

You were supposed to receive a friend at the airport. But, for some reasons you are unable to do so. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter
– explain why you can’t come,
– guide them regarding other options to get to your home,
– describe the plans/visits you made to show them around when your friend arrives.

Sample Answer

Dear Sushmita,

I believe your preparations to come to India are in full swing. I am eagerly waiting to see you on Thursday evening. As discussed earlier, I had promised to collect you from the airport but unfortunately I would not be able to keep my words due to an unplanned official meeting.

Just yesterday my boss informed me about an urgent meeting of foreign delegates that will take place on the coming Thursday, the day of your arrival. I have been asked to give a presentation too. In this case, it won’t possible for me to reach the airport as we had planned earlier. Don’t worry. The airport has an excellent taxi service. My suggestion for you would be to take a cab from the airport to reach my home. You can book a cab online or hire one from outside the airport.

I just can’t wait to see you and I have planned many things for your stay. I have reserved seats for a get-together with our college friends in the ‘Memories Café on Friday evening. On Saturday, we would go shopping and enjoy the street food of Delhi. We will plan the rest of days as per your preferences.

I Look forward to seeing you soon! (207 Words)

Yours lovingly,
Kritika

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Manish,

For the past one year, I had been working to get past through the interview of IIMC and I am thankful that we were in it together. From photography to video editing, getting the interviews done, you have helped me whenever I needed it.

Last week was my meeting and I know if it was not for the professional emergency you would have been with me on the day of the discussion. The interview started with the documentaries that we had made together and they loved the “The Women in White” the most. Moving on there were questions about the photographs and the articles.

You would be happy to know that I have been selected and if it was not for you, I don’t think it was possible. Your help with the camera and the proofreading of articles, more importantly, the emotional support made me go with it.

I will be visiting you soon. (156 Words.)

Love,

Avantika

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Radhika Ma’am,

It has been almost two months since I joined the Public speaking course and have been benefiting from it in leaps and bounds. Not only does the course helps me in giving good speeches, it also helps me to communicate better with people. It was with the help of this course that I have got selected in an MNC and would be moving for the job next week.

It will, therefore, be not possible for me to continue with the course. However, it has been a learning experience and I have learned not only English speaking but so many other facets of the language from you. You helped me become more confident on stage and I can now give a 15-minute talk easily on stage. The books and the material that you provided is a lifelong treasure.

Hope to be in touch online.

Best
