Sample Answers for IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic Internet

How often do you go online?

When I am occupied with (=busy with) some work, I use the internet at least 7 to 8 hours a day. But when I am free and not doing anything, I frequently use the internet to check my emails, listen to music, chat with friends, check social media, and read news articles.

What do you use the internet for?

I use the internet to stay in touch with (catch up with) people I care about. I also use the internet to update myself on various news issues and trends, scan social media, do my work, check emails, watch movies and series, and do some online shopping.

How do you get online?

I have wi-fi installed in my home. Therefore, all family members uses it to access the internet daily. Moreover, I travel often. I rely on my internet dongle (a piece of equipment connected to a computer) or smartphone for internet connection in such situations.

Do you have your own computer?

No, I don’t own a computer, but I have a laptop. I do all of my work on the laptop, including writing notes, paying bills, reading papers, and playing games. I find that a laptop is more convenient and easier to use than a computer and that it does the same tasks.

What’s your favourite website?

Google.com is my favourite website because it is the largest and most famous internet search engine ( a software system designed to carry out web searches), providing information about everything in just a fraction of a second. Another reason I like google is that it helps me get a plethora of  (a greater amount than you need) information on the topics which interest me.

Do you think children should be allowed unsupervised access to the internet?

No, I think children should be allowed to access the internet only under an adult’s supervision because there is dangerous content online. Besides, one can never rely on (=count on, depend on) the internet as there are so many wicked (=morally wrong) people around who take undue advantage of children.
