IELTS Speaking Part I # Band 9
IELTS speaking has three sections; the first one consist of general questions related to you. Let us have a look at some possible questions that can be asked in IELTS, with a band 9 answer for each question.
Hello my name is Chris.
What is your full name?
My full name is Anmol Tanubhrt.
Can I see your id?
Yes, sure.
In the first part I would like to ask some general questions about you. Let’s talk about where you are from?
Where is your hometown?
I come from a town in north of India, called Almora. It is a small town surrounded by mountains from all the sides and is a major tourist attraction. Tourist from all across the world come to visit the natural beauty of Almora. Houses in my town are quite close to each other and so we all are kind of a big family.
Which places do or should tourist visit?
Well, there are lot of places a tourist can visit. Chitai temple which has a unique collection of brass bells of all sizes. Then there is the Bright End Corner’s Unforgettable sunset. Nanda Devi temple and kesar Devi are some of the other exciting places to visit in almora.
There are also some restaurant and areas where you can walk or cycle.
Is there anything that you don’t like about home town?
I think that the biggest problem is that sometimes it becomes really congested with lots of people who come there to visit. It is a small town and if more than a certain number of people come to live in there, the roads sometimes give a feeling of stampede.
Let us move on to the weather.
What is the weather like where you live?
Almora has a very pleasant weather. The summers are warm in the morning but are pleasant in the evenings and the winters are warm in the morning but by night it gets really cold. The monsoon season in almora is really beautiful.
Do you prefer summer or winter?
I prefer summer because of the perfect balance between the day and night. It is neither very hot during summers and the nights are really beautiful with steady winds blowing past our ears. So, one can do a lot things in summers.
What do you like to do when it is raining?
I love rains, so during rainy season I mostly go out with my friends and have dance parties in rain. It is quite fun to dance in rain and then drink tea or eat hot pakodi, an Indian dish made usually of onion and potatoes. When the rain sets off I usually like going on long walks.
Now, l would like to ask you some questions about shopping.
Who do you like going to shopping with?
I really like going to shopping by myself. I hate going with other people because it takes ages to go around when you are with someone, because sometimes they want to go to different shops and then maybe you have to wait for them.
Do you prefer shopping malls or markets?
I definitely prefer shopping markets. If you go to traditional markets there is lot more than you can do than shopping. You will find various vendors and street sellers trying to sell things off. Even more there is so much happening in a market and you can actually go buy things and also get a good feeling along with the shopping.
