IELTS Speaking Part 2 Sample Band 7
This topic actually makes me think of a holiday I am planning for Christmas this year. I would love to make a trip to Hokkaido. I am so excited about the holiday that I have to tell you all about it.
During the Christmas holiday, I long to be surrounded by snow and beautiful decor. This is one of the reasons why I am over the moon to head to Hokkaido. The scenery there is so beautiful that it almost doesn’t seem real. I saw the location on many TV programs and have had the image in my head for quite some time. The area has quite a lot of shopping areas too, which will help keep US busy. Plus, there are tons of places to chow down on delicious food. I am excited to treat my parents to such meals and to have some quality time with them without interruption.
Of course, one of the main reasons I want to go on this trip is to show my parents the snow. They actually haven’t been around deep snow before and I think they would have the time of their lives playing in it. I know, it will help them to kick back and relax, which they both deserve. Plus, the view of all of the snow will make our Christmas celebration feel magical.
IELTS Speaking Part 3
1) Do you like short holidays or long holidays?
Well, I prefer the long holidays. What I want to mention firstly is that the long holiday provides me a chance to stay with my family. My university is in the south, however, my hometown is located in the north- east and it usually costs me twenty hours to take the train home. In this case, I can only go home to see my family when the holiday is long. Secondly, I can always travel to other cities during the long holidays. As for me, I like travelling to different cities during the free time. If the holiday is long enough, I can take the chance to go to other cities and know more about the world, it is also a good way to broaden my horizon. So, based on the reasons I mentioned above, I prefer the long holidays.
2) Do you think modern life give people enough time for leisure?
No, I do not think so. What I want to mention firstly is that people’s living pace is becoming faster. In the current society, the competition is becoming fiercer. In order to survive in such a competitive society, people need to stay up late at night in order to make more money. In this case, people will focus more on the work, rather than paying enough attention to the importance of having rest. Secondly, people are facing too much pressure nowadays, especially for the students. The high school students are facing the pressure from the college entrance examination and the university students are facing the heavy pressure from the competitive job market, so the students need to work harder in order to fight for a bright future. So, based on the reasons I mentioned above, I think people in the modern society are lack of the leisure time.
3) What’s the most important factor for a tourist attraction?
Basically speaking, I think there are three important factors. What I want to mention firstly is the history. The tourist attraction can reflect the history of a place, and the reason why the tourists visit this attraction is that they want to know more about what has happened in the past. Secondly, the environment of the tourist attraction should also be good. With the development of the society, the pollution in the city is becoming even more serious. So, the tourists also want to breathe the fresh air and appreciate the beautiful scenery during the trip. Thirdly, the ticket price of the tourist attraction should not be too expensive. The commodity price of the current society is still growing and it is not very easy for peoplẹ to earn money. The cheap ticket price can attract more people to travel.
4) Do you think we should have more public holidays?
Yes, I think so. What I want to mention firstly is that people are facing too much pressure nowadays. In this competitive society, the white collars are facing heavy working pressure since they have to work hard in order to win promotion. For the high school students, they are facing the pressure from the study since they have to get a high score in the college entrance examination. Secondly, people need more holidays to stay with their families. In the current society, many people work far away from the home. If we have more holidays, those people can have more time to accompany their families and I think the relationship among the family members will also be closer accordingly. So, based on the reasons mentioned, we should have more public holidays.
