IELTS Speaking : Sample Answer to Spoken Topics>Sports & Hobby

 

Sports & Hobby

---

Describe an interest or hobby that you particularly enjoy.

• What is this interest or hobby?
• How long have you been doing it?
• What effect has it brought to your life?

What do you think about the balance between work and leisure?
I am a big table tennis fan, even though I am not very good at playing table tennis myself. I love to watch the game on TV. I have played table tennis whenever I get a chance since I studied in the middle school. Playing table tennis not only refreshes my body and makes me mentally alert, and ready and eager to engage in the work of the day. In addition, a reasonable amount of exercise prepares the body for a good night's sleep. However, over-indulgence in physical exercise can do more harm than good. Because it will make you too tired to stay awake during the work.

1) Is it dangerous for people to spend too much time on hobbies?
Yes, over-indulgence in physical exercise can do more harm than good. I have noticed that some of my friends spend too much time on sports and make themselves too tired to stay awake during the work.

2) Do you think hobbies are beneficial to social life?
Yes, of course. I made many friends while playing table tennis. So, I think that hobbies are beneficial to social life.

3) Why do people like to watch games?
Oh, it is an interesting question. Watching games can enrich our leisure life. Also, it is very exciting to watch a close game.

4) What are the advantages and disadvantages for watching games?
Watching games can enrich our leisure life. Also, it is very exciting to watch a close game. But over-indulgence in watching games can affect our rest.

5) What is the difference between watching games and playing games/sports?
Watching games can enrich our leisure life. Also, it is very exciting to watch a close game. Taking part in sports can build our bodies and keep us healthy. But, over-indulgence in watching games or in physical exercise can affect our rest.

6) Do you think sports demand enough courage?
Oh, I think it is boxing. It is very dangerous and it can do harm to health
of athletes.

7) What are the sporting facilities like in your hometown?
Anyang City has a lot of modern indoor facilities offering bowling, table tennis, swimming etc. But, it's too expensive for most Chinese, and you have to belong to the club in order to use the facilities.

Teacher

---

Describe a teacher who has greatly influenced you in your education.

• Where did you meet them?
• What subject they taught?
• What was special about them and explain why this person influenced you so much.

I think my first English teacher has greatly influenced me in my education. I had some trouble studying English when I studied in middle school. I felt English was very difficult, so I didn't like to study it. One day, my English teacher spoke to me about the study of foreign languages. He said: "You must do a lot of reading, listening and speaking. Never mind, keep on trying, I believe you are a good student." In the years that followed, I studied hard and made greater progress. My English teacher loved his job and he was knowledgeable in his field. I love and respect him.

1) Compare the differences between education in your city with those in 20 years ago?
In the past, many children couldn't go to school, and educational conditions were very poor. But now, the government provides 9 years compulsory education. Each child who is 7 years old must go to school. And the government provides much better facilities and staff. Also, schoolyards are more beautiful than before.

2) Compare the differences between university and middle school.
We study basic knowledge in middle school. But the course of university is practical and special, such as computer and business courses.

3) Compare the differences between students now and past.
At present, it is difficult for students to find jobs. So, their pressure is heavier than before.

1) Tell me about your family.
Although I live abroad now, my dad's family is from Glasgow and my mum's family is from Edinburg. So I'm from a very Scottish family. I would say I come from quite a small family, just my parents, my two sisters and me. But both of my parents come from very large families so my extended family is very large - I have 20 cousins! Our family gatherings are pretty chaotic, but fun. We're a very close-knit family and have reunions at least twice a year. Even though we don't live together any more, the family ties are still very strong.

2) Who are you close to in your family?
The person I'm closest to in my family is my dad, Gavin. He's really sociable, always going out with friends and colleagues. Everyone thinks he's good fun. I look up to him because he's very enthusiastic about everything he does.

3) Who are you most similar to in your family?
Well, there is a strong family resemblance between my elder brother and me, but everyone tells me that the physical resemblance between me and my paternal grandfather is very clear. Sadly, I never got to meet him because he passed away before I was born. But I’ve seen photographs of him at my age and we’re quite alike.

4) In what way is your family important to you?
The most important word in my life is "family". I love my family. I know that my family will always be there for me, no matter what. Every family has their ups and downs, but we are still there for each other. We support one another when there is nobody else.

And different styles of clothes represent different cultures. All people want their life to be filled with variety, color and comfort by wearing clothes. We will have a good mood when we wear beautiful clothes. I like leisure clothes very much. Because it is not only cheap but also convenient to wear. (In addition, the material of leisure clothes is more environmentally friendly.) But I must wear work clothes when we are working. Otherwise, I will be fined.

1) What's the prescript on clothes when you are working? and just the prescript on clothes in school.
We must wear work clothes (a school uniform) when we are working (in school). Otherwise, we will be fined.

2) The difference between the older and younger people in clothes.
The older people think a lot of style and material. But the younger people would like to follow the fashion. Personality is the first consideration when younger people choose clothes.

In the past, the colors and styles of clothes were very monotonic. Thousands of people look the same. But now, we can wear clothes with different colors and styles.

Transportation

---

Give me some opinion on the transportation in your city?
In my opinion, one of the biggest problems of transportation is traffic jams in Anyang city. It has become common to see passengers and drivers having to wait in long lines of buses and cars moving at a snail's pace on the streets during the rush hours. There are several reasons for this problem. First, the number of vehicles is increasing much more rapidly than the building of roads. Second, there seem to be too many private cars and not enough public buses. Third, many people, including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists do not obey traffic rules properly, especially at busy intersections.
In my opinion, one of the biggest problems of transportation is traffic jams in Anyang city. In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. On the one hand, the government should invest more money in the building of new roads and the repairing and maintenance of old ones, particularly those in busy areas of the cities. On the other hand, the number of private cars in urban areas should be limited while the number of public buses should be increased. At the same time, it is essential that stricter traffic rules and regulations be issued to strengthen traffic control.

1) Compare the different transportation, such as between plane, train and car.
Drive car to travel is convenient because we can set out at any time. But it is too slow and it may spend us much more time. Plane ticket is more expensive. So, I think train is the best transportation for me.

2) Can you just image the transportation in the future and describe it for me?
In the future, the speed of car, train and plane will be faster. And, the transportation will be easier and convenient.

3) Just compare the transportation in the past and now? What transportation do you like and why?
Nowadays, we have more choice on the transportation than the past. Such as tube, plane etc, even though in the small city. I like tube, because tube is safety and tube ticket is cheap.
