IELTS Speaking Test: Perfect Band 9 Score

let's talk about friends do you have lots of friends I do have quite a few friends um I I feel like I have more acquaintances than friends the people who I really care about I think I can definitely count them on my fingers who is your best friend and why I don't know how to answer this question because if I say any one person the others are going to come after me and also I don't have just one best friend I have maybe three or four very very good friends who I Look to for help

counseling advice and uh I treasure them I I really appreciate each and every one of them for different reasons are you the type of person that makes friends easily it's really interesting because in a new environment I can be rather closed off I've had people tell me actually you're very nice you know once they get to know me but I kind of am a bit more of ANS ever not that I um not that I'm not willing to socialize with people but I kind of like to sus out my environment before I say anything in

case I offend anybody now let's talk about flowers have you ever given anybody flowers I give people flowers uh all the time I think it's really lovely to receive a bouquet of flowers what's funny is that I'm not such a not that I'm not a big fan of receiving flowers but I'm not really bothered about receiving flowers is it popular to give Flowers in Your Country yes but I think we have to avoid white flowers because they use white flowers at funerals I'm not sure if I'm guting this right but I think there are certain

colors that we need to avoid what kind of flowers do you like to receive I don't like cliches so I don't like red roses I love sunflowers I like daisies anything that's bright and happy and cheerful and not particularly extravagant or out there now let's talk about food do you enjoy cooking oh I love cooking I have tried to improve my cooking skills during the past year or two I would say it was successful so I've uh tried my hand at kishes and uh Thai food I love Thai food I love the flavors the turmeric

and the lemongrass it's very I think distinctive oh I've tried baking as well I still cannot get my uh whipped cream to stiffen uh it melts a bit but we'll see let's see how we can fix that what are the most popular dishes in your country in Taiwan we love to promote our stinky tofu it smells absolutely horrendous but people tend to like stinky tofu they prefer the fried version to the I don't know if they boil it but they prefer it fried they say it tastes uh it tastes best but I can't get over

the smell other things we do really well bubble tea came from tywan that's a huge Trend around the world and um we have our own version of uh Fried Chicken which I really love it's very good let's talk about noise are you comfortable with loud noises no in general no construction sites are understandable angry shouting people not so understandable so I think it depends if it's a construction site next to your office and you have to be at the office I can tolerate it but if it's someone just being a bit extra then maybe we'll

skip that what type of noises do you come across during your daily routine types of noises everyday noises I think a lots of the noises that we hear every day are quite uh can be quite familiar and homey such as the toaster going off or an egg sizzling in a pan they're quite random but they can be quite like I said comforting describe a tourist attraction that you would recommend so I highly recommend CM rev um it's these beautifully preserved temples in the middle of the Cambodian jungle and it is a UNESCO heritage site but

apart from that one of the temples also appeared in uh Tomb Raider it's the Tomb Raider film with Angelina Jolie cuz I know that they got another actress to fill that role um recently actually you'll remember there's a scene where she's in a temple and there's a Buddha head that's kind of like buried in in a tree trunk people tend to remember that Temple for that reason and so they go to visit this Temple when they're in cm RAB um in general I love Cambodia it was the first trip that I felt really connected to

prior to that I'd been to Europe and I was in Paris um Luxembourg Spain I did this whole trip because I was um on Exchange uh Europe is beautiful Europe is very beautiful but I felt a special connection with Cambodian and I would definitely go back so apart from cmre I would recommend panon pen as well but definitely if you if you have to go to Cambodia you cannot miss cmre there's this eerily beautiful Vibe or energy about the place that I really enjoy it's very peaceful and very quiet so we've been talking about a

tourist attraction that you would recommend let's continue to talk about museums and art galleries and the holiday industry do you believe that all museums and art galleries should be free to thank you for watching this video I want to give you a free course that has helped thousands of students improve their I speaking score what it's going to do is take you through every single part of the test and give you strategies for part one part two and part three and also allow you to practice at home for free and get feedback to sign up

for that for free all you have to do is just click the link in the description thanks very much and let's get back to the video so I would say my first instinct is to say that yes I believe that art galleries museums should be free because what's inside them all the artifacts and his historical paintings and books and whatnot they belong to the people they belong to the human race however I also understand that upkeep is expensive um maintenance is also very costly so I think maybe charging a small fee um is is very

reasonable I I like what they've done in in France especially uh because they allow people to go to museums for free every first Sunday I believe of the month something like that what kind of things make a museum or Art Gallery an interesting place to visit I would say it would depend really on the pass in because what I find interesting might not be very interesting for somebody else what I find interesting I would say mostly uh I like Salvatore Del and um Renee mcgr so I like a lot of serialist painters if we're talking

about art but I also do enjoy oh I I really like the national is it the British history museum yeah in London that one was really nice now let's talk about the holiday industry why do you think some people book package holidays rather than traveling independently thank you for making it this far in the video I want to give you 10% off our VIP course I VIP course is the most successful I course in the world that is a fact because we have more band seven eight and N success stories than any other ILS course

in the entire world we do that by simplifying the whole ILS process supporting you with some of the best is teachers in the world and being with you every step of the way until you get the score that you need all you have to do is just look down in the description just click that and you can sign up if you have any questions about the VIP course always feel free to get in touch with us we answer 100% of the questions that we get hope that you become a VIP if not enjoy the rest

of this free video I think some people do so because they don't really like the planning aspect of it perhaps I'm someone who really enjoys traveling independently the only time I did travel with a group was when we went to Egypt because there are some tourist attractions um that you cannot access if you're not with a tour guide that was the only time uh we ever traveled with a group of people perhaps I think senior citizens they might enjoy traveling in a group it would make things more interesting as well are there any negative impacts

of large numbers of tourists visiting an area when I used to live in Paris I felt the negative impacts quite intensely there's a lot more traffic um there's a lot more how would I put it Hubb lots of crowds it's very chaotic it can get very messy people are shouting but I think in general the pros outweigh the cons because for countries such as France they depend strongly on tourism for a large part of the of the country's income the GDP so I don't know I like Taurus for the most part why not that's the

end of the speaking test well done thank you
