IELTS Speaking Part 1 Sample Band 9 – Topic: Meals

Meals

1. When do you often have meals?

As a rule, I have three basic meals a day. Although I’m quite tied up at work, I do manage to grab a bite once in a while like some snacks or fruits to recharge my own batteries.

2. Who do you often have meals with?

With my family, of course. We’re currently living under the same roof, and share meals with one another every dinner. When I’m at work, my colleagues and I often sit together at the same table and have lunch while exchanging casual pieces of gossip.

3. Do you cook at home or eat outside?

In my circumstance, my mother’s a housewife and she has plenty of time for household chores and meal preparation. Having said this, once in a blue moon when she’s feeling a bit under the weather, our family would dine out at some classy restaurants for a change of atmosphere.

4. Do you still like the same food that you liked while being a child?

I’m afraid no. people’s taste changes as time goes by. If I remember rightly, I used to be a big fan of beef since I was knee high to a grasshopper, but this is a different story now. I like chicken more and stay away from red meat as much as possible. After all, there’s no accounting for taste.
