Band 9 Model Answers for IELTS Speaking Part 1 in 2021 Topic: Sweet / Cake

IELTS Speaking Part 1 Questions – Topic: Sweet/Cakes

1. Do you like to eat sweets? Do you like dessert? Do you like eating cakes?

I absolutely love them. In fact, I have a sweet tooth ( like eating sweet foods, especially chocolate and sweets ) and I am a chocoholic (someone who likes to eat chocolate), so whenever I can, I will just treat myself a bar of chocolate or a chiffon cake. Not good for my health, I know, but I can’t help (to not be able to stop or control something) it.

2. Do you like sweets now compared to when you were a child?

When I was little, my parents were so strict with me that they didn’t allow me to eat any sweets or cakes. They were worried that I would end up getting overweight. So maybe at that time, I had no interests in eating cakes or sweets.

3. Have you ever tried to make sweets?

Yes I have but to be honest with you, I don’t think I have a knack for  ( to have an ability to do something well and easily ) baking or anything relating to cooking. There was a time I tried to bake a chocolate cake and I failed miserably.

4. Why do people like sweets?

This is rather complicated and abstract (existing as an idea, quality, or feeling not as a material object) I think. Simply put (used for saying you are giving the basic facts about a situation), I suppose people crave sugar for the sake of it (in order to help or bring advantage to someone). Or maybe a candy bar can actually provide us with energy to work and study more effectively.
