IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Use Of Internet

Internet is that one magic that has transformed the world. We have never been so close to each other and so much aware of the world. We can send messages in a click, get any information the moment we need it, find our lost friends and just do about anything, in just a click. Being one of the most amazing inventions till date, let us today have a look at some of the questions related to its use.

Do you often use the Internet?

Yes, Internet is my life. I am blogger and a systems engineer. Both of them require me to be present online most of the time. So, there are times when I have to do some sort of certifications and then there are things that I want to post on my blog or do some online job. Internet has opened up so many possibilities that imagining life without it is just so scary.

When did you first use the Internet?

I remember using Internet for the first time when I was in my intermediate school, for a project.

About how many hours a day do you use the Internet?

Approximately, I think almost around eight hours a day with four to five hours when I am extensively using Internet for either blogging or doing an online certification.

About how many hours a week do you use the Internet?

I use internet almost every day, so I guess it would be around 80 hours per week. Because, if I am not travelling on the weekends I go for Internet.

Who uses the Internet the most in your family?

It would definitely be me. My parents are not very much bothered about Internet and me and my brother would have tough fight on that. But, I think my brother simply uses Internet to download lectures and see them but with me, I am more of streaming videos or may be searching google whenever required during learning. So, I think I win the fight with my brother being very close to it.

What computer do you use to access the Internet?

When I am using Internet in the office, I use Macintosh. But, at home, I have got my Linux laptop, using which I access Internet.

What are some security issues you must think about when you access the Internet?

Internet is very powerful and it can very easily take everything that you have if you don’t protect it properly. So, we need to make sure that the data regarding our bank accounts when being sent are through proper and protected channels. Also, while buying something we need to make sure that the site that we are giving in our details are safe.

Have you ever bought something using the Internet?

Yes, I have bought a couple of things using Internet. The first time that I used Internet to buy something was a phone for my father. After that, I remember I have ordered lots of things online, from the bag that I have, to the shoes and then clothes, novels that I read, there is so much that I buy using Internet.

How can the internet help you learn English? 

There are some great websites available for learning English. There is ieltsband7.com, ieltsliz.com and then you have got great lectures by BBC and engVid in youtube.com where you can learn English. Also, Google is definitely the best way of learning English. Type in the word that you want to find the meaning of, or find out the phrases of words. You have got dictionary, thesaurus and so much more out there on Internet.

How can the Internet be improved?

I believe Internet is pretty much good but if the security of Internet can be some how improved a little more it will be better.

Do you think our lives have been improved by the Internet?

Surely yes. With the coming of Internet, people are now able to learn things faster, things that are beyond their financial situations. So, there is nothing that is binding you or stopping you. But, then just like every invention, there are some negative impacts of it as well. You can see so many multi media scandals happening and with internet, there is so less of privacy available.

IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Equality At Work

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.
There should be more equality at workplace, ensuring people get what they want based on their credentials.

 

Discuss.

 

You should write at least 250 words.

In recent decades, most countries have done fairly well in achieving gender equality. However, there is so much more that needs to be done. With instances of gender discrimination in the companies, there have been rising voices demanding equal rights.

For instance, a female actress is more likely to earn less than her male counterparts. This is not only obvious in countries like India, but is a common phenomenon in entire world. Similarly, men find it difficult to get family friendly work policies, or flexible work arrangements to when compared to their women counterparts.

Every individual has the liberty to live their lives on their own terms. Hence business organizations should thrive towards the removal of barriers to ensure full and equal participation of men and women equally. Even more, the same policies should be applied while recruiting candidates. This ensures that both men and women get equal  employment opportunities on the basis of their qualification and competence.

EQUALITY AT WORK
In addition, it should be the responsibility of the organization to ensure that every individual in its organization is getting the same benefits. They need to consider health, money and bonus. Finally, workplaces should eliminate any forms of gender discrimination on the grounds of marital status, pregnancy or maternity, and in relation to family and caring responsibilities for both women and men.

In conclusion, the achievement of gender equality in workplace is not only necessary but important for productivity of the organization and more importantly nation.

IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Dating

Dating is when two people meet either because they want to assess each other for future relationship, or as friends just to hang out together and make some memories. No matter what reason you choose for dating, it is something very common when a person is young and wants to explore himself or herself and the outer world. Let us today, have a look at some of the questions related to dating.

Where is the best place in your city to take a date?

I would prefer taking someone to Oxford book store. It is not a very quite place, but I being a bibliophile enjoy when there are lots of books around. And in the oxford book store, you can find lots of books and towards the end of the book store there are tables and seats where you can sit and it is very close to the window. They even serve you coffee. For me, I think it is perfect, because being a book store it is quiet and you can just while away your time, together.

What can you do if you want to save money and go on a date?

I think the best way to save money and go on a date would be to take your date to a nature’s place, instead of going to those expensive restaurants. A place very near to nature, like beach or a stroll around a garden, helps you know the person more and experience some quality time together. Because, often the best things in world ain’t expensive.

How common are blind dates in your country?

Blind dates is a very new concept in our country, however, ironically blind marriages have been very common in the past, where people used to see their partners only on the night of marriage. But, blind dates has come out only after the coming of internet and phones. These days there are so many apps where people can just talk and then meet each other.

Do most blind dates go well? If not, why not?

I think it depends on luck.  If you meet someone who possibly has same opinion as yours or wants to know your opinion, then a blind date should go out very well. But, if the other person is simply trying to put on you what they think is right or tries to show you down, a blind date can turn out to be a disaster.

What is the best way to meet boyfriends or girlfriends?

I think there is no best way of meeting your loved ones. Because, I think when we are meeting our loved ones, it is good if there is nothing hidden or put on to hide something. I would say, if there is any, best way to meet, then it should probably be meet them as you are. Show them the real you, the idiot you, the wise you, the ugly you, the beautiful you, the way you are, no pretending, only the real you.

Describe your ideal date.

My ideal date would be somewhere very quiet, where the only person I can see is my loved on. It could be somewhere in the beach during night or a walk down the road with trees all around. I don’t fantasize anything very out of the box or larger than life, but yes, a simple daily life with a twist of lot of love would be special for me.

What was the worst/best date that you have ever been on?

The best date I have ever been would be with a friend I met some time back. We just thought of meeting and met around 6 in the evening near the backside of our office. Now, this place is all surrounded by trees and everything is so quiet and there is only one shop of Cafe, Coffee day. We went there, ordered our stuff and then sat down, simply talking and listening, pouring our hearts out and it was so magical, that life felt so much better after that.

When two people go on a date, who should pay?

I think it should be more of fifty-fifty. In my opinion, the idea of the male sweeping the girl of her feet is too over the top. On a date, I would prefer when we both order stuff and pay it together. It brings lot more unity, I suppose because it is no longer anyone trying to impress other but simply each one showing their side with the aim of accepting the others.

How many people should you date before getting married?

There should not be any number or count on it, I suppose. One can go on as many dates as they want to and meet as many people as they want to, before they get married. Because, marriage is not about simply living your life with the other person, it is about sharing your life with the other and if you are not comfortable with the other person, there is no point of getting married.

What do you think of double dates?

I think nothing of double dates. In my opinion, it is the most stupid thing one does, if people involved in double date are not aware of it. Yes, if you tell the other person, that I am interacting with other people as well then there shouldn’t be any problem, because in that case you are getting to know lot of people and there is no romantic side to it. But, if there is trust and loyalty involved, double dates is a miserable thing to do.

IELTS Essay # Homeless People

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.
There has been an increase in the number of homeless people all around the world.
What are the causes of it?
You should write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Home is the one place everyone wants to go after a long tired journey, be the journey of everyday office or of something as exciting as going on a world tour. But, there are so many people all around the world that are deprived of a beautiful comfortable home. There are people who need to live in sheds across the the roads and even worse some don’t even have that.

Many people across the world have left their homes in search of jobs in different parts of the country or world. While it is easy to leave the house, it is not very easy to get a job, leaving people homeless and jobless. There are even some children who shed away their responsibility of parents and send them to home shelters. These people are not only deprived of the love and care they deserve when they get old but also of the home they have built in their lives.

HOMELESS PEOPLE

Even more, there has been an increase in the crime rate all over the world. With the number of children being kidnapped all over the world, they are being forced into beggary or prostitution, taking away their home and beautiful life. In addition, with wars happening around the world, there are so many people who lose their accommodation and have to live in the refugee camps before any country accepts them. Sometimes this wait is only for some years while other times it extends to life time. Other factors such as natural calamities also play a role in taking away the homes.

Overall, surely there has been an increase in the number of people losing their accommodation. It not only causes them physical pain but as well mental agony. In my opinion, the government should surely take initiatives to ensure that more and more people have stable homes to live in. (312 Words)

Hints: Reasons for Homeless People

  1. There are people who are not able to afford a good home because of their limited income. As a result they are not able to access affordable housing and heath support.
  2. There are people in the world that are facing discrimination. As a result, even though they have the money, people are not ready to give them home, leaving them homeless.
  3. There has been an increase in the population over the past decade. Although the population has increased, the land remains the same. As a result, not much land is available to build houses, leaving people homeless.
  4. Other factors that are responsible for leaving people homeless could be – natural disasters, loss of job, family issues.
