IELTS-Simon’s video course
IELTS Speaking Part 1
Here are my sample answers for the 8 questions in the video lesson:
Do you like sport?
No, I’m not really a sports fan. I like swimming, but I don’t get much time to go these days
because I’m too busy with work.
Do you think it’s better to watch sports or play them yourself?
It’s much healthier to play sports than to watch them, but it can be fun to be a spectator
and support a team or a particular athlete.
Why do you think some sports are so popular?
Well, if I take football as an example, I think the fans like the feeling of winning and sharing
an exciting experience with their friends and other fans.
Do you think children should all have to do sports at school?
Yes, I think children should all be encouraged to try a variety of sports, firstly because they
need the exercise, and secondly because children need to have fun.
What’s your favourite colour? Why?
My favourite colour is blue because it’s the colour of the sky on a nice day.
Do different colours have different meanings in your country?
Yes they do. For example, red is usually used to mean danger, and green is always the
colour we use for anything related to the environment or nature.
Do you think that colours can affect the way people feel?
Yes, colours do seem to affect our emotions. Bright colours like yellow or red can make us
feel happier or more active, for example.
Do you wear different coloured clothes now compared to when you were a child?
I can’t really remember. I probably wore much more colourful clothes back then, because
children usually like fun clothes rather than boring dark colours.
