Cambridge IELTS
Book-7 Speaking Test
In this post we are going to explain a full IELTS
speaking test 1 from Book 7. The tests given in the Cambridge books are really
very important to get ideas, understand the pattern and be able to predict the
topics may be asked in the interview. It is close to impossible to be very much
sure what the candidate will be asked but the candidate can make up his mind to
prepare at his best.
Before you go through we will suggest the candidate
must read and grasp the main ideas, vocabulary and sentences which he thinks
are useful. Don’t run thought the post, try to read slow and inculcate the
pattern of the test so you become competent and confident to face your
interview and come off with flying colors.
How do you usually contact your friends? Why?
There are many modes of communication I use to get in
touch with my friends. I reach to them electronically and personally. If they
are way from me I make contact to them with the help of cell phone, internet
and so on. Many times we are to discuss something important then I go to them
in person. It depends on easy and possible way to get around my friends and
other relatives too.
Do you prefer to contact different people in
different ways? Why?
I would here extend my thanks and appreciation to the
people who make communication easy. I do contact different people in different
ways. The people who are well known to me I contact them frequently by
visiting, texting and making video calls. The people I don’t know well I don’t
mostly visit them in person. I contact them though emails and texts. I don’t
use video calls for them.
Do you find it easy to keep in contact with friends
and family? Why? Why not?
Gone are the days when people would hear from their
friends and family members after a long time. The letter would take months to
reach and it could take even longer to get the response. Today communication
has become a piece of cake. We can contact our family and friends very easily.
The innovation and progression in the communication technology enable us to
talk, share and heart from our near and dear in a minute. We use our mobiles
and can reach to them whenever we want.
In your country, Did people in the past keep in
contact in the same ways as they do today? Why? Why not?
In past people had very limited options to contact,
mainly they would opt for post cards and letters. But now days Using post cards
and letters is a cliché. We today like in the world which is just like a
village can reach any cornet of it just by using our fingers. If our friend or
any family member is in another country, we can see him through video calls,
leave him a text or voice message or post in his facebook wall but in past
people did not have all these advantages.

Model Answer
I must say that I am not a party boy. I don’t
accept more social invitations these days. I do attend parties and other
functions organized by friends and relatives. Whenever I go to any such
programs I love talking to people I don’t know, enjoy the food and music.
Couple of months back my best friend passed his CET examination, it is an examination
to get enrolled in business schools, colleges and universities. It is highly regarded examination in our
country Mr. Ajay my best friend got 3rd rank in the state so we all
were very happy. My friend called me up and invited me to join party. He also
asked me to call up other friends to be there. The party was being held in one
of the best hotels of our hometown named” Jannat”. Our hometown is just 10
kilometers from my house and easy to reach. We all friends got here and I saw
that there were many known and unknown faces. It was really a pleasing
experience to see the Member of Parliament was there to congratulate
him and celebrate his achievement. People were well dressed and tickled
pink. There were my friend’s family members, relatives, classmates and
other important people of town. In the party we enjoyed the music and food
there. The song sung by one of friends and dedicated to Mr. Ajay was
very special. We all put our heart, mind and soul and started dancing. I
noticed that almost everyone was trying to move his body. The party was well
organized we had great fun there. The celebration of our friend’s
achievement took us on cloud nine. This was really special.
Part 3
Family Parties:
What are the main reasons why people organize
family parties in your country?
Well, there are many factors give reasons to arrange
family parties. In past people were not that busy, could get together and
celebrate. Now days we live in a highly
competitive and busy world. we lack chances to celebrate together though we
have unlimited resources. People organize such parties to meet their friends,
relatives and other close people. It is sometimes difficult to make special to
visit. Parties, festivals and carnivals are like bridges to fill this gap. One more
thing I would like to mention is that throwing parties has become a trend to
make match, do business or mend the broken relationships. Yes, we can build new
relationship as well.
In some places people spend a lot of money on parties
that celebrate special family event, is this ever true in your country? Do you
think this trend is good or bad trend?
Lavishing too much on parties has become order of the
days in my country. People pour lot of money on marriage, birthdays and events
that bring success in any form. I believe that such trends don’t serve anything
good to the society. Such example set people’s mind of showing off by spending
too much. It is often shown on the television people who earn big money
organize parties in hotels that charges too much. I think people should use
that money for the welfare of the society. It would be an investment to make
our world a better place.
Are there any differences between family parties
and parties given by friends? Why do you think this is?
Family parties and parties organized by friends vary a
lot. If I talk about family parties there we have to be very cultural, and
decent. Even people have to mind what they wear. The parties thrown by friends
are way different; we don’t have to set any dress code. We can behave frankly
and dance on any tune. In family parties alcoholic drinks are not allowed. We can enjoy that in friend’s parties.
National Celebrations:
What kinds of national celebrations do you have
in your country?
Well there are many national events celebrated with
shows and pumps in my county. India is very civilized country that celebrates
the Independence Day, Republic day, Birthdays of freedom fighters and martyrs,
great saints and scientists. Independence Day and republic days are highly
regarded. On 15th august 1947 our nations was officially declared Independent
from British rule. On the Republic day
we had our own constitutions as other countries has that time. People are very
excited to celebrate the birthdays of freedom fighters and martyrs who laid their
lives to get our nation free from the tyrant rule of Britain.
Who tend to enjoy national celebrations more
young people or old people? Why?
Well, when it comes to celebrate for the nation we
forget the age, gender and religion, we all come up together and celebrate
Independence Day, Republic Day, Birthdays of great people played major role to
build our nation. Senior people significant role to let young know the history
of their country. The flag of our
nations is hoisted by the seniors who have done something for the people of our
nation. I must say that senior have great impact on the national celebrations. They
guide to do some social works on such occasions, plant trees and volunteer in
the civil hospitals.
Why do you think some people think that national
celebrations are waste of government money? Would you agree or disagree with
this view? Why?
Spending money on national functions is not a waste of
money it is an investment made in the country people. I don’t agree with such
thought. People do spend money from their pockets to celebrate such events. It would
be bad if too much money is spent. The money of government must be spent in
right manners.

ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to pursuing low-cost education from abroad, then Europe is the right destination for you. There are so many universities in Europe that provide quality education and charge very low fees for the same. In fact, Germany is one such country that has abolished tuition fees for domestic as well as international students.
