Speaking Part 2

Describe a tourist attraction you once visited.

You should say

• When you visited it
• Where is it situated
• Whom you went with
• and say what about it you like the most

Sample Answer 1

I love to visit places, but due to my busy schedule, I am unable to go out on a lot of trips on holidays. Before the global pandemic started, I visited Sikkim with my family. I don’t clearly remember the exact date ,but it was in the month of May, 2019. It was summer, but the weather was very soothing there. Sikkim is  one of the smallest states of India situated in the North eastern part. Since my childhood I was drawn towards mountains more than I was towards the sea. Mountains always used to be peaceful and calm and I think that is the most attractive part of it. We started our journey from Pelling which is a small town in the northeastern Indian state of Sikkim, at the foothills of Mount Khangchendzonga. The town is filled with monasteries and waterfalls. Pemayangtse Monastery is another equally important Buddhist shrine in Pelling. I visited the place the same day I visited Khecheopalri Lake,Rimbi fall, Kanchenjunga falls  and Singshore bridge. It is the second largest suspension bridge in Asia. The next day we visited Rabdentse Ruins and in the evening we were off to Ravangla. Unfortunately it started to rain so we were unable to visit anything but Temi tea garden on our way to ravangla. The next day we were off to Gangtok. We stayed there and went out on alternative days for sightseeing. We visited Tsomgo lake, Seven Sisters waterfall, Banjhakri falls, Rumtek monastery. The days we were not sightseeing, we used to spend quality time in the Gangtok “mail” which they used to call their shopping markets. We were unable to visit Nathula Pass as it started to snow heavily. We visited Yumthang-the valley of flowers and the flower shows of Gangtok. The beautiful snow capped mountains, the waterfalls, the monasteries, the lakes, the people and everything was so serene and beautiful. Sikkim increased my love for mountains ever since. I had a memorable trip which I will relive forever.

Vocabulary for Cue card

•  Suspension: hanging Eg: The suspension bridge is beautiful
• Sightseeing: visit places of that area Eg: She was going sightseeing before she left.
• Relive: to live again Eg: She was reliving her old memories.
• Monasteries: Buddhist Pilgrimage  Eg: The north east is full of monasteries.

Sample Answer 2

The Colosseum, one of the few intact Roman Empire constructions, stands today as a testament to ancient Rome’s architectural and engineering prowess. It is also a significant source of tourism.

I visited it with my family during a trip to Italy. I have always been very interested in the history of Rome, so I was excited about this visit. The Colosseum is a Roman amphitheatre open to the general public. It was built solely for the amusement of the Romans, and there were numerous games held there during the week in ancient times. It was famed for hosting exotic animals, chariot races and gladiatorial combat. We did the underground tour of the Colosseum. Our guide told us how the lower levels would be flooded with water to simulate naval battles during the shows. She also gave us great detail in terms of the architectural structure and cultural importance of the site. I learned a lot and was amazed by the sheer scale of witnessing it in real life as opposed to photos. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you have the opportunity.

Describe a beautiful place you once visited

• when you went to this place
• where it was
• whom you went with
• and say why you liked it so much.

Sample Answer

I happened to have a trip to Darjeeling a few years back. I don’t exactly remember the perfect date, but it was soon after my class 10 board examination. It was a trip conducted by my school authorities which can be classified as an excursion. Darjeeling is one of the prettiest hill stations in India located in the northern part of West Bengal. It’s all about magnificent views of snow capped Kanchenjunga, streams flowing down the mountain slopes, lovely tea gardens, landscapes with firs, pines & ferns, and all that combined with friendly people and modern yet colonial charm. We took a train from kolkata to NJP station. From there we took a bus that was pre-booked by our tour guide manager. There were fifty students and 8 teachers,along with our tour guides. We were served our lunch packets on the bus. We visited the beautiful himalayan railways aka toy trains. It was so beautiful to get a city ride on a toy train by the side of the mountains, stopping at every beautiful spot. The majestic view of the mountain on one side and the busy lives of people in the city was something worthy of watching. We also visited Batasia loop, Tiger Hill,ropeway,Himalayan Mountaineering Institute , the zoo,Rock Garden and several other places. We stayed there for about a week. On the evening of the fifth day, we were given permission to buy things from the shopping area of Darjeeling. As it was an excursion, it’s needless to say about the amount of fun I had there with my friends. On the sixth day we were off to the NJP station recalling the very new memories and sadness of the ending of our much-awaited trip. We bid our goodbyes to the most beautiful place of our dream, but the art of heaven, named as Darjeeling, will remain cherishable in our heart and brain forever. 

• Majestic: having or showing impressive beauty or scale. Eg: The sight was majestic in its own way
• Excursion: a long trip held by the institution Eg: our school held an excursion to hyderabad.
• Relive: to live again Eg: She was reliving her moments with her grandmother.
• Art of heaven: very beautiful Eg: The sketches she makes are like art of heaven

Describe a short trip that you usually make (or, take) but dislike

• where you travel from and to
•  how often you make this trip
•  why you make this trip
•  and explain why you dislike this trip

Since I study in Bhubaneswar and stay in Kolkata, the trip from home to college is often the trip I dislike to make. The journey from Kolkata to Kalinga is the most disliked journey I have to take every now and then. 

I return to Kolkata whenever I get a long holiday in my college and whenever I want to spend some quality time with my family. 

Being born and brought up in  a bengali family, you are bound to be home-sick. And I’m no exception. Just everytime I get a chance, I pack up and return home. So, I have to make the trip back to Bhubaneswar when the holidays are over.

Whenever I return home, my mother pampers me so much that I always feel reluctant to return to the college hostel and live on my own. Though good food is available in the hostel, it is no match to the home-cooked food. So, whenever It’s time to return to the hostel, the thought of doing everything on my own is the very reason why I dislike travelling. But there’s one more reason too. I have to travel alone most of the time and since this is long, I often get bored by the monotonous journey. I usually travel in 3 tier AC, and the people travelling are on a trip to Puri with their family, which makes me want to return. They are all to themselves, and being a grown up it seems awkward to reach out and start a conversation. Thus the dislike becomes stronger each time.

• home-sick: loving to stay at home. Eg: She was home-sick.
• homeland: a place where u grew up Eg: Nadia is my homeland .
• Pamper: give special care Eg: She often pampers her sisters.

Describe a trip that took longer than you expected.

• when it happened
• where you were travelling to
• whom you were travelling with
• and explain why it took longer than you expected.

A few years ago, we were on a  road trip to Digha. It was my elder sister’s Bachelorette party.  There were ten of us, out of which five were her friends, and 5 were cousins. We booked a ten-seater van to travel. It was air-conditioned. If I can recall, it was in 2018. 

The first few days flew swiftly. Then, the west winds started. Bengalis call it Kalboishakhi. Storm, rain, and sea never go well together. Beaches were a prohibited place, and we were instructed not to leave the hotel. Thus, we were stuck inside the hotel room and were all to ourselves. The return trip was canceled, and our journey got delayed. But it was the best time of the year. We had parties and were gossiping, recollecting memories, and even were on movie marathons. 

We were supposed to return after a week. But we returned after 15 days. Even though the situation was challenging, we were having a good time. The weather was scary near the sea. No tourists were out.  But I loved the journey even though it got longer than expected. 

So when we returned, we had a lot to plan and organise for my sister’s wedding. But keeping in mind the storm and the sea, we were buckled up for whatever work stress that was about to hit. 

• Bachelorette: a celebration one gets before they get married Eg: She went to a Bachelorette party with her brother. 
• Kalboishakhi: the Western storm from Bay of Bengal that hits West Bengal during Summer Eg: There’s a possibility of kalboishakhi in the next week
• Buckled up: gather up what you dropped; gather courage Eg: She buckled her up for the upcoming competition 
• Delay: got late Eg: The train got delayed because of the rain.
• Movie marathon: watching a series of movie in a single sitting Eg: The friends were having a movie marathon . 

Describe a trip that didn’t go as you had planned/expected

• where were you travelling to
• who was travelling with you
• what didn’t happen according to plan
• what did you do there
• and explain how you felt.

Last year we were on a trip to Puri.

It was a trip with my family members. We hadn’t been anywhere for a long time, so we decided on taking a short trip to freshen our moods. My father always has this habit to pre-plan all the places according to the days.

One day, we went sightseeing in Chilka and several other places nearby. It was a long day planned till evening. It was all according to plan until my father decided to take the advice of our driver. He was a localite and knew every road and turn. He was well accustomed to the history of the temples and the places. He suggested we visit a few temples that were really beautiful. He also added that the history of those places was very intriguing. 

We returned 3 hours later than we had planned but the journey there was worth the time, we lost. We visited 3 temples, and the driver took us to a small village near Kalinga. We saw handloom works and several other things that will forever stay in our memories.

It was an unnoticed, not so famous village. The people were so humble. We wouldn’t have visited the place if he hadn’t suggested it to us. I had fun, and so did my parents. If I visit Puri next time, I will revisit the place.

• Sightseeing : places inside an area to visit Eg: She went sightseeing .
• Humble: good and polite Eg: She was a humble girl 
• Localite : local area person Eg: He was a localite.
• Intriguing:  arouse the interest, desire, or curiosity  Eg: The friends were having an intriguing conversation. 

A bicycle, motorbike or car trip you would like to go on in the future

• Where would you like to go
• How would you like to go there
• Whom would you like to go with
• And explain why you would like to go there by car, motorbike or bike

The thing that troubles me more often than not when living in the city is that majority of people are riding motorbikes rather than cars. As a result, most people don’t know how to drive a car, including me, which also annoys me, since I have always wanted to take a road trip across the country. A road trip by car from the south to the north of my country would be tough and adventurous  because hundreds of  marvelous destinations are waiting to be explored. However, it is worth  taking risks  and  stepping out of your comfort zone  to truly  experience  what life  has to offer when your legs can still carry you rather than to regret later in your life.

“If you wanna go fast, go alone. If you wanna go far, go together.” It might be fun if you were a lone traveller  and didn’t enjoy  getting lagged behind your schedule. But, the adventure could be more colourful and unexpected, when you’ve got company, especially during a long journey like the one I prefer. Hence, my choice would be to pick up a close friend or two who share the same vision, the same  eagerness  to  capture the beauty of nature. We would start from the south where we are living and move north. On the go, we could stop by our favorite beaches a little longer than other places because there isn’t anybody who doesn’t have time for juicy coconuts and white sand paradise. Traditional cuisine  would also be our  utmost priority whenever we reach a new place as the best way to live like a local is to eat like a local. A car is our best choice because it would give us room to  comfortably  converse with  each other and  shelter  from  inclement weather  during our journey if any. It is not only about the destinations but also about the time I would love to spend with my dear friends as we would share the same space in a four-wheel vehicle  along the road; and  at the end of the day , it’s the people that matter.

• more often than not: usually Eg: More often than not, people get confused with this map.
• take risks: to do something that might be dangerous Eg: You have to take risks to win .
• have to offer: have something available to be used or appreciated Eg: She has to offer prayers to God .
• get lagged behind: get fallen behind Eg: The yellow car got lagged behind.
• cuisine: style of cooking Eg: She likes Chinese cuisine.
• utmost: greatest; most extreme Eg: Knowledge is of utmost importance .
• inclement: not pleasant; cold, wet, etc. Eg: The inclement  weather is not safe for flights.
• at the end of the day: in the end, finally Eg: At the end of the day your hard work pays off.
• shelter: protect or shield from something harmful, especially bad weather Eg: The birds are in search of a shelter.

Describe an unforgettable trip you have had

• When and where you went
• Who you went with
• What you did there
• And explain why you think it was enjoyable

Well, it has been two years since I had my very first motorbike trip with my colleagues to one of the most ancient villages situated in the Northwestern part of our country. And I have to say that it was the most memorable trip that I’ve ever had.

Our group with 3 people made a decision to visit a village because we wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city  and  get off the beaten track.  Moreover ,  the village was fairly typical of the countryside in our country, so we wanted to get an insight into  the lifestyle of local people there.

We set out for a day trip quite early. I’m always a night owl , not an  early bird , so leaving the city at 5 a.m made me feel like I was deprived of sleep. However, I was  over the moon  shortly after  embarking on the trip to the village. This was because on the way to get there, we had a chance to get  the magnificent views of breathtaking landscapes  which is totally different from the city we are currently living in.  After a long drive, we got to the  picturesque village  which made me feel   deliriously happy. We rented some bikes to cycle around the village to  feel the vibes  of the village. After that,   we visited some 400-year-old ancient house and had a look at communal houses where the local people gathered for festival celebrations or public meetings. Then we had lunch and the food was scrumptious .  In the afternoon, we joined a cooking class with the villagers who were extremely friendly and  clever at making traditional cakes. The highlight of the trip to the village was going to the paddy fields to help the farmers harvest the crop. It was once-in-a-lifetime  experience which we really enjoyed. My friend was  like a dog with two tails while I was also  on cloud nine . We relished everything in the village from the fresh air, cozy ambience to beautiful landscapes such as small houses or paddy fields. We hoped that we can have a longer trip to the countryside down the road if we had more spare time.

Speaking Part 3

1 do people in your country like to travel.

Yes, people in India like to travel. India is a colossal country to travel around. There are so many beautiful and adventurous places here. Hence people of India are athirst to travel from one place to another. Indians are always keen on discovering the daring and quixotic moments through travel. Nowadays, Indians mostly travel with friends wherever they get a vacation or a weekend

2 How has travelling changed, compared to several decades ago?

With the growing population and economic growth, India has changed especially in regards to travel. People now travel for uploading travel blogs, pictures or everyday travel videos on social media.The mode of transportation has improved a lot, as travel now is cheaper, comfortable and faster. Nowadays content creators go to places, find stuff and share in social media which is phenomenal. Now travel has become so easy that anyone can go for a long vacation.

3 When do people travel (as tourists), whom do they usually go with?

People usually travel with family friends or loved ones for a weekend to a neighbouring country or for a family vacation or for long travel. There is something within us that triggers us to pack our bags and visit a new place. Tourists mainly visit India, especially the southern part of India, during April – May and December for experiencing the crystal blue waters and soft white sand beaches. Tourists usually visit India with family and friends. Some people come with their loved ones to spend their most adventurous moments of life.

4 Do you think travel can (or, does) change people’s ways of thinking?

I think travel has made people better communicators. It has allowed people to be more patient. Through travelling, people can get to know a lot more about the world around them. Travel increases the desire to meet new people and pushes one to explore all kinds of amazing, admirable things. You become a well-rounded person just by experience. Travelling focuses on a greater sense of empathy and we also gain knowledge about diverse cultures. Interaction with people is another pathway to revitalize our minds. I think travelling really develops a personality. They become less judgemental, more stable, more open-minded, find themselves more optimistic, and don’t panic often.

5 What are the disadvantages of not travelling?

There are many disadvantages of not travelling to a new place. Many educational and health benefits will be missed. We will be unable to learn new cultures and languages. Memories for a lifetime will really pass over. You will not be able to deal with the stress, if you don’t take a break and travel. Also, you cannot sense and appreciate independence. You cannot boost confidence within yourself. You cannot realize your passion if you are not physically exploring places.

Travelling in cities

6 how do most people in your country travel to work.

Most of the people in India own a vehicle. It could either be a two-wheeler or four-wheeler. And the ones who don’t have a private vehicle travel through public transport like metro, buses, or by local trains. Sometimes they travel by subways too.

7 People in cities used to like living downtown but now they prefer to live in the suburbs. Can you explain why?

In suburbs there is a lot of free space available. Also in most suburbs, there is an element of peace and people lead a normal life. But in cities, the places have become more and more compact with population increase. One more advantage of suburbs is that the cost of living is low.

8 What is the impact of vehicles on people’s lives?

Owning a private vehicle is very common nowadays. It makes our life easy as we can travel at our convenience. People have started travelling from one city to another. Vehicles have made their life comfortable. People have also become a bit lazy as they tend to take vehicles even for shorter distances and also a lot of fuel is burnt in this process.

9 Do people in your country prefer to walk or take a car for short trips?

People in India mostly prefer taking a walk if it is a very short trip like walking to the nearby grocery shop. Walking is also essential for a person to maintain proper metabolism. Walking is preferred because firstly it is, of course, environmentally friendly and also it boosts up our immune system ,energy, and also keeps our heart healthy and fit

10 How can big cities deal with the problem of having many people crowded in the same place?

We can help people by providing them with valuable and good sources of information to plan a visit. E.g., Help schedule the time of travel. We can also improve the infrastructure in an area that can reduce overcrowding in the particular region. We can also encourage corporate companies to build technology parks in the suburbs and villages as well.

11 Are there any connections between transportation and the environment?

Yes, there is a direct linking between travelling and the environment. When the weather is perfect and soothing, we enjoy travelling. If the heat comes right above our head, we get irritated and will not enjoy our trip.

12 Does your hometown have problems connected to transportation??

The transportation in my hometown is not good. The public transport can’t be trusted because the buses don’t arrive on time. Also, the people aren’t educated and are unaware of the timings of public transport. The most important thing is that women are concerned about their safety in public transport.

13 How could these problems be solved?

These problems can be solved by making people aware of the timetable of the buses. They can also educate the drivers about being on time. The people can be trained to use metro options too

14 Is cycling very popular in your city?

Cycling is given a lot of importance in my hometown because it is good exercise. People are educated and know that it helps in increasing cardiovascular fitness, muscle flexibility, decreasing stress level and that it also makes our mind fresh and boosts up our energy level.

15 What are the differences between travelling by car and travelling by bicycle in a city?

Car is faster and effective than bicycles. A car can hold more stuff into it, but you can’t carry heavy items in a cycle. Also in a car, safety is guaranteed because of its compact and secured design. A car can house a group of people but a cycle cannot. Also it is way more comfortable than a cycle.

16 What are the advantages and disadvantages of cycling in the city?

Riding a bicycle helps in building mental and physical fitness. It helps in saving a lot of money too. It is rejuvenating to take a cool shower after cycling for an hour or two. As we have pros, there are cons too. We may be exposed to the day’s temperature, which can harm our body ( if it is not moderate). We can meet with accidents. Cycles are theft-prone too.

17 How could the government encourage more people to use bicycles in the city?

Government can create separate lanes for cycling. They can also introduce some schemes related to cycling. Marathons can be held in a regular interval of time. They can even distribute pamphlets regarding the importance of cycling to encourage people.

18 What are the benefits of having a good public transportation system in a city?

Having good transportation in a city makes life convenient and helps people reach their destination on time. It will be safe for girls to travel. Also, it helps in less consumption of fossil fuels like petrol or diesel. By this, we can help in reducing the pollution as we will use the buses rather than our own vehicle.

19 How will transportation in cities change in the future?

There are already many plans that our government is looking into, and one of them is the technology of the bullet trains, which can help people travel in less time at a very reasonable cost. In the coming days, people might develop a technology that can help them reach their destination within the city very fast and without pollution.

International travel

20 do people from your country like to travel abroad.

 Yes , many of my friends travel abroad when they get holidays. Also, many such people are there who go out of India to experience more about the culture, food , people ,climate , of foreign countries.

21 Can you suggest why some people (from your country) go abroad to work?

Some people go abroad to work to get more exposure and gain experience. Some people like to travel a lot. So they take up a job which will help them in travelling. They even travel to embrace a new lifestyle and also to learn a new language.

Traffic congestion in cities

22 what causes traffic problems in big cities.

Due to the increase of population and growth of the economy in big cities, people rush for work everyday which is the main cause of traffic problems. Due to an increase in the number of vehicles on the road such as at the peak hour, lack of vehicle regulation has increased the problems. Sometimes non recurring events like road accidents slows down road traffic and weather problems also result in immobility of vehicles.

23 What could be done to solve this problem?

The more the lanes, the higher the capacity a road has. So cars should be able to drive faster, but that’s a very narrow analysis of the problem. Some technical procedure is needed to control the traffic jams over roads. The use of public transport should be encouraged. Parking should be controlled via universal pay and park-in parking facilities. Proper signboards at each and every junction may also help to reduce traffic. Traffic control systems should be improved, traffic lights should be fully computerized and constantly serviced. Traffic lanes could be created for multiple-car occupancy.

24 What do you think are the benefits of having a good public transportation system in a city?

Travelling by public transport is very useful in saving money. You don’t need to spend much money on purchasing cars. Imagine that you are on a bus, taking a seat, and starting to relax by reading the newspaper or sleeping a little while. Yes, you can do this on a bus. You don’t have to concentrate on the road. This source of transportation is perfect for tourists. It is a good alternative for the older generation. Public transportation sometimes becomes adventurous, and we get to know many new people every day.

25 How do you imagine public transport might change in the future?

I think public transport might change in the future. The world is changing fast. Cities are growing, and the urban population is rising. The need to transport people and goods is increasing, but so is congestion, air pollution, road accidents, and climate change. In the present times, electric vehicles are used for public transport, and the transportation system is enabled through an integrated cloud platform, connecting vehicles, people, infrastructure, and logistic platforms. Bus platooning is improving efficiency and capacity in the city of public transportation. The future is the electric zero mission with low noise, giving the electric combat excavator access to the environmental city zone.

Long-distance travel

26 what are some of the reasons why people travel long distances.

There are many reasons like getting more of a personal perspective, giving yourself some time, grasping more adventure. Also, the most important thing is building a solid relationship with whomever you travel.People tend to travel to meet their family members who stay at a distant place. Travel bloggers travel for fun and pleasure.

27 Is it easier to travel long distances today than in the past? (Why?)

Yes, it has become much easier to travel now than in the past. Nowadays, it is much more feasible and affordable for a person or a group of people to travel even to far off places. In fact, nowadays people just travel because they are crazy to explore the latest technology

28 How does long-distance travel today differ from the past?

Nowadays it’s very convenient and affordable and also we have a lot of options as in to travel anywhere but this wasn’t the case in the old days . People used to travel mostly with bullock carts or either used to take walk for travelling which would take a lot of time but with the help of recent technology we can travel faster

29 What effects does long-distance travel have on people?

People who are old or babies usually get tired in the long-distance journey. If we are with a group of people and travelling, it becomes fun, but if we had to travel alone, we tend to get bored. And also most importantly, it can turn into travel fatigue which disturbs our daily lives.

30 Can long-distance travel ever create problems for people?

People who travel frequently tend to become lonely and may develop long-term health issues that can be very dangerous at times. Travelling long distances isn’t cheap either. Also it is very taxing. Even after reaching our destination we become lethargic and tend to sleep more rather than taking a tour of the place.

31 Does long-distance travel have any effect on the environment?

Travelling long distances by any means of transport will cost you a lot and is also not environmentally friendly. All types of transportation including air create a greenhouse effect in the topmost layer, which is way too hazardous.The most polluting vehicle is the flight. Then comes the car and train. Cars use fossil fuel and release toxic gases into the air.

32 How might long-distance travel change in the future?

With the advent of technology, it might become much easier and affordable to travel. We can reach long distances at the fullest comfort in no time. Recent research shows that electric flights might be coming up in the future to minimise pollution.

33 How would it be like to travel to space?

It would be fantastic. There are very few people who have been getting a chance to undertake such excellent travel. And if I am the chosen one I might be very proud of myself to step into the moon.

34 What are the problems people might experience when going on a trip and what could be done to avoid/solve these problems?

 There are a lot of problems which might occur during travel. We might suffer from health issues or run out of cash, or get delayed, which might affect our whole tour. The only solution for this is that we should plan adequately before we step out.We can also pool vehicles to avoid pollution. 

Preparing for a trip

35  is it important for travelers to carefully plan the trip.

Yes, planning a trip is really important for travellers. If everything happens in an organised way, we can switch to the travelling mindset with ease. Traveling to different places and staying there for a few days will help us to rejuvenate and relax if we arrange everything before the trip.

36 What are the differences between a well-planned trip and a trip that is not well-planned?

Well-planned trips are those which accommodate even the sudden changes that occur on the spot. Talk and discuss the trip with whom you are going. Make sure you have the travel plans. Let the problems be sided and let all the solutions get strained in one piece of sheet. Not planned trips will face budget problems and they will meet with unnecessary expenditures. They will not know more about where to visit how to go, and how to stay. They will not be aware of the culture and of the place they are travelling to and will always face problems.

37 In general, what factors should people consider when planning a trip?

We need to first focus on booking tickets or visas or passports. Internal currency planning, sightseeing, etc seem to be so daunting which is why people rely on travel agents and they don’t mind paying them. But making a plan under budget needs time. The factors that we should keep in mind while making the trip are the number of days needed to reach the destination, travel companions, and adventures.

38 What essential things do people need to take when they go on a trip?

I will now talk about some of the essential things people need to take when they go on a trip: a neck pillow for train or flight travel to relax the body. Eye masks are also crucial for good sleep, as we also need time to energize ourselves through sleep. We need to take our clothes accordingly by keeping in mind the weather of that particular place. You can take a camera with you to capture those beautiful moments, which would remain handy. Chargers and power banks are very crucial during travelling. Skincare products and other necessary makeup materials can make you look glamorous with a photoshoot.

39 Do you think there are any differences between men and women when they plan a trip?

Yes, I think there lies a difference between men and women when they plan a trip. Women start packing a month early. They make several lists, pack for themselves and their kids. They plan many activities for their kids, and they get busy with packing different varieties of clothes and makeup. Women stage things serially and in an organised way, but men remain leftover with last moment packing. Men drag 2 – 3 pairs of jeans, shirts and 3 pairs of socks and shorts, and they’re done. They remain excited and capture the beautiful natural beauty on a camera.

40 People with different personalities sometimes plan or prepare for a trip differently. Can you give some examples of this?

People with different personalities plan and prepare for trips differently as they want to explore and explore that destination from their inner core. Naturally, people travel for enjoyment with family and friends, but some people think differently. They remain enthusiastic about bringing out the dangerous unknown adventure. They generally make sudden plans.

41 How do people find information about places to travel to?

There are several factors which people must consider while preparing for a trip. They should not get so confused about stuffing all the things in one bag. Some usually keep everything for the last moment and get confused. These people must make a checklist and ensure that all the necessary documents, cards are adequately arranged. They should also double-check that necessary medicines and clothes are packed.

42 What factors would people consider when preparing for a trip?

Nowadays we can find information about travel on the internet . We can get information through vlogs, twitter, and different social media sites. We can easily get a detailed analysis and budget list of the particular destination. There are travel agencies that help us with information about unknown places . The encyclopedia and youtube travelogue channels, also make our travel easy.

Travelling differences

43 if you were travelling with friends, what qualities would you like them to have.

When we have to choose the travel companion we should think of a person who is compatible and has a good sense of humour, is sensible, generous and also shares the budget

44 Some people prefer to go on guided tours when they travel while others prefer to travel individually. Which do you think is better?

From my point of view taking up a guide is more preferable as these people have knowledge which may not be in books or any kind of brochure and they also will suggest the best and affordable places to stay, eat etc

45 What are the different means of transport that a person can choose when travelling?

There are different types of transport which one can use for travelling. For example, sea, rail, flight or car. Most suitable out of these is the flight as it makes our travel quick and convenient. Other means of travelling such as public transport or cabs etc also make life easy and enable us to enjoy a tour.

46 In what ways does a person’s wealth affect the quality of that person’s travelling experience?

Wealth does affect the quality of travel we do. If we are rich, we can enjoy a trip to the fullest. The opposite of it is that if we have less money to spend, we may have to compromise our comforts.

47 Whom do you think learns more from travelling, old people or young people?

Young people learn more. The youth get inspired by travelling as they get to know more people and learn how to handle them. They also get excellent exposure, and come across new opportunities. They even get to know themselves and also will have a clear vision over what should be one’s goal.

48 Do you think it’s a good idea to use a credit card when travelling?

A credit card is considered the best friend of anyone travelling. It makes the payment easier and provides certain advantages such as cashback or a reward. People prefer this, as there is a considerable risk involved in carrying cash.

49 Some people like to take a lot of things with them when they travel and other people prefer to take as little as possible. Why do you think people have this difference?

It varies according to the individual. Person A would like to carry a lot so that he/she dont have to borrow anything from others. On the other hand, person B may not like to carry much luggage because he might prefer taking only basic things and buying the rest.

50 Do you think the tourism industry is very important?

Yes, the tourism industry is vital to the world’s economy. It not only takes part in the economy but also plays a vital role as the backbone of the country. It provides job opportunities to the people of the country. It also creates a special bond between the visitors and the localities. We get to know about the history of places, culture and almost everything.

51 What do you think has led to the growth in the tourism industry?

There are several factors that have led to the growth of the tourism industry. One of the most important factors is people’s hunger to learn and see. This “interest” is the reason why people have decided to consider this as a means of employment. Now, the most significant factor of the World’s economy comes from this industry.

52 What benefits does tourism bring to society?

Tourism brings several benefits to society. The tourism industry is the largest contributor to the world’s economy and facilitates foreign trade. For example, India is rich in spices, and our country holds the biggest spice trading business. Yes, if it hadn’t been for tourism, our minerals and resources would have been unknown to the world. The handloom industry is another branch, which has flourished only because of the tourism industry. In short, it has an impact on a lot of factors that are interconnected.

53 Are there any problems caused by tourism? How to address these problems?

Yes. Alongside the benefits, it brings in some problems too. All these trade and foreign business has resulted in exposing our wealth and riches to the other countries. This is one of the very reasons why the British empire wanted to settle in India and make it their colony. If the government is weak, it can easily be taken over and ruin the nation.

54 How to balance the economic benefits of tourism with the environmental damage that is done by tourism?

The economic benefit and the environmental damage can only be balanced by limiting the trading. One should stop forcing the environment to go beyond its limit just to produce a greater yield for exports . The greed for money has led to disaster. Tourists also tend to contaminate the ground by throwing plastics or wrappers. Some throw eateries on the road.

55 What effects do you think international travel has on the different countries involved?

International travel has an impact on the relationship between the tourists and localite. It builds a bond between the people of the two countries involved. This bond will eventually mature into foreign settlements which will be beneficial for both countries in the long run. It also helps better import and export systems.

56 How has international travel changed in the past 20 or 30 years?

With the passing ages, everything has changed. Places have changed their infrastructure. Villages have turned into metropolitan cities. I think currency is an important factor too. The value for money has changed too. What cost 1rs back then, might cost 10 rs now. So yes, that’s a factor too.

57 Can you suggest some things that people should and should not do when they travel to a foreign country as tourists?

People visiting foreign should not exploit their land and properties. One should not make fun of their culture and sentiments. Thus the person visiting a foreign land should respect it as how they want to be treated by their visitors/tourists.

58 Do you think that the media has many effects on tourism?

Media has a tremendous impact on tourism. In the modern world, people rely primarily on social media and news. An unknown place can turn into a popular holiday destination overnight. So yes, the media impacts a lot. Media has also captured attractive pictures and videos which have attracted many tourists too. So behind the popularity of a place, the media played a vital role.

59 Some think it’s not necessary to go to tourist places, now that we can see these places on the internet. Do you agree?

Some people think it’s not necessary to go to tourist places because we can see places on the internet. But it’s like watching a picture of your favourite food and filling up your appetite. Unless and until you are present in that area in person, you can never feel the true essence of the place

Changes in travelling

60 how do you think travelling today is different from what it was several decades ago.

In modern times, we have different modes of communication which were not in history. Earlier people used to walk and used animal drawn carts to travel from place to place. The discovery of petroleum was the light of revolution. Now, one can visit places conveniently.

61 In 20 or 30 years, how do you think travelling will be different from what it is today?

With every passing day, the level of crude oil is decreasing. Many vehicles are being idealised to  draw fuel in alternative ways. Tesla, is one such example. I am sure there will be inventions like this. So yes, there will be a huge difference between today and the future generation. Soon there will be a way to resolve the issue, and we might be able to run a vehicle via solar energy, or any other source for that matter. Even though there will be a lot to plan and implement, mankind will overcome every hurdle. 

Modern technology and travel

62 in what ways has modern technology changed people’s travelling experiences.

 In the earlier times, people used animal drawn carts or palanquins to travel from place to place. With the inventions of technologies, the vehicles have also become modernised. Modern technologies have reduced human effort and so of animals. It has saved a lot of time and it is much more convenient.

63 Do you think the internet has had an effect on people’s travelling behaviour today?

Yes, the internet has impacted indirectly on people’s travelling behaviour today. We can sit at home and book train tickets or flight tickets. One does not have to go to the station and search for trains or go to the airport to book tickets. The Internet has made online services like Ola,Uber or Rapido, which will help us to reach our destination in a shorter period of time.

64 If you were going on a trip, what essential modern technology would you carry, and why?

If i am travelling somewhere, i will carry my cell phone. It’s the modern technology I choose to carry because it will help us in several ways. Beginning with google maps, contacts, or helpline and emergency numbers. Among all the boons of mobile phones, the advantages overshadow them. One can capture the beautiful moments of the trip on their mobiles. They can also play music during the trip. So a mobile phone serves many purposes while you travel.

Sample Answers (Updating)

Suggested answers for part 1, do you like travelling.

Yes, definitely! I think getting to know the world, from great historical monuments to white sandy beaches, is what life is all about . It’s a very interesting way to learn about new cultures and explore new places.

Whom do you often spend the holiday with?

It depends on what kind of holiday it is. If it’s Christmas vacation, I prefer to hang out with my friends here and there and have a chit-chat. If it’s the New Year holiday, I just want to celebrate the holiday with my family and relatives in a cozy ambience.

Have you done much travelling?

Well, I’m an international student, so I travel a lot. I’ve been on a road trip to the USA, a vacation to Japan and Korea when I was younger. Thanks to my father. And most recently Australia – a splendid country.

What kind of places have you visited in your life?

I prefer to visit the places which elevate my mood and energize me. I have been to some of the beautiful beaches and lakes in my country. These places bring me closer to nature and rejuvenate me.

When you visit new places, what do you like to do?

Culture vulture seems to be my other character when I feel like discovering the places of great aesthetic appeal everywhere I set foot in.

Well, it depends on my current mood. A trip to the off-the-beaten-track destinations, mountainous or forested place, for instance, will be my initial choice if I feel devastated. On the contrary, I will congregate and sign up for guided tours as it’s a chance to be shown around and take photographs – one of my hobbies when feeling overjoyed.

I guess it would be autumn. This season has little rain, clear skies, and temperature conditions. It’s really the best season as most places are at their best at that time.

What places would you like to visit in the future?

If I have the chance to visit one famous place, it will be Paris, a must-see place for me. I would love to visit the Eiffel Tower, to tuck into French delicacies in prestigious restaurants. In addition, it’d be great for me to visit the Louver Museum and discover history as well as La Sorbonne University – the oldest educational institution in modern France.

One of the most memorable places that I have visited is The Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is an iconic landmark located in the heart of the city. During my visit, I took an elevator to the top of the tower during the day and at night, and it was an incredible experience. The view of Paris from above was beautiful during the day, and at night the tower was lit up, creating a magical sight.

During my visit, I hiked along the rim of the canyon and was blown away by the stunning panoramic views. The highlight of my trip was watching the sunset over the canyon – the colors were absolutely breathtaking.

IELTS Speaking part 3 tips

The secret to IELTS Speaking Part 3 is first to practice lots, so you have plenty of ideas to talk about and can talk flexibly on a number of topics.

Secondly, develop your answers.

You can do this by using some of the following combinations to structure your answer.

Let’s see some examples for the following question

What are the benefits and drawbacks of traveling?

I’d say one of the benefits is you can taste new food,  I mean when British people go to Japan  they get to taste a whole range of new local delicacies  that they may not find at home.

• Opinion = I’d say…
• Example = I mean…

I think one of the drawbacks is the cost,  it can be quite expensive  because if you are traveling by plane,  the price of plane tickets has rocketed in recent months.  So for example , if you want to travel from Europe to Asia, a plane ticket can cost up to 1000 USD  

• Opinion = I think…
• Reason = because…
• Example = So for example…

What are the impacts of tourism on a local economy?

To my mind , there is a direct impact on hotels and restaurants  since these are very popular with holiday-makers.  On the positive side ,  tourism can increase sales in local restaurants  and is a valuable source of income  for the hospitality industry. 

• Opinion = To my mind…
• Reason = since…
• Example = On the positive side…

Here are some more useful phrases and collocations to talk about this last question.

• There is a  direct impact on  shops and retail outlets
• On the positive side , tourism  provides / creates / increases jobs
• It can  boost / increase sales
• It may  boost profits
• It will  boosts local trade / commerce 
• It’s a  source of revenu

However, there can  be a downside  in that it might…destroy local culture However, there can  be a downside  which might be that it…destroys local culture

• destroy local culture
• lead to overcrowding
• bring  noise pollution
• lead to excessive  littering

IELTS Speaking Part 1: Traveling

12/18/2023 07:46 PM

General Rules:

Here are some general rules about Part 1 that you may find useful. The point of Task 1 is for you to answer shortly to many questions. Think of it like an interview where you need to answer questions about yourself. You should:

Keep it short. When you practice, in general try to answer in 15 to 20 seconds per question. 

Give at least 1 reason and 1 real-life example. again very general but try to have at least 1 real example in your answer., talk about yourself. this part is all related to you (if the question doesn't say another person)..

So, lets take a look at some questions:

Vocabulary related to the topic

Sentence starters and linking words, idioms and phrases, business phrases, do you like traveling.

My Personal Answer:

How often do you go traveling?

As a student:

Not that often. I am still a student and I'm still preoccupied with lessons and learning. My parents don't have so much time to take me traveling either , and so we haven't been abroad so much. When we have some time, usually during vacations , we travel internally in my country.

What destinations do you prefer to travel to?

How do you feel when you are traveling, what are the benefits of traveling, is traveling good for the environment.

Well, as long as people take care of their surroundings and keep their personal trash at a minimum , then traveling can be an acceptable way to enjoy our time. We need to be more   environmentally conscious when picking our destinations and how often we travel, that's for sure .

 IELTS Vocabulary about Travel and Places

Home  »  IELTS speaking  »  IELTS vocabulary about Travel and Places

Passing the  IELTS speaking test  with a good grade will depend on your ability to answer the questions using appropriate vocabulary in the correct context.

Collocations are words that naturally combine to form a phrase.

These words when used in combination make the English speaker sound more fluent and natural. This is why you should be learning collocations under various subject headings to help you do well in the IELTS speaking test.

Answering questions about travel and holidays

It’s always a good idea to start with what you enjoy. What’s your favourite holiday destination or holiday resort? Is there a well-known tourist attraction or popular holiday destination in your country you could talk about? What is the main holiday period in your country or in your region? What tourist attractions are most popular during the national holidays?

These topics are so popular in the IELTS speaking test. They can be used to answer questions on lots of different themes (an interesting day, a terrible experience, your birthday for example).

But what if you’ve never been to a foreign country or on a guided tour? It doesn’t matter at all. Remember that you don’t have to tell the truth in an IELTS exam – you can say anything you like. Perhaps you heard a great story about a wildlife safari or a beach off the beaten track from one of your friends or family members and you get a question asking about YOUR favourite holiday – well, then your IELTS speaking exam should be easy!

Examples of questions about holiday travel

Part 1 questions.

Examiner: Where do you like to travel during the holidays?

Answer: I like to  travel abroad  but international travel can be expensive, so I usually plan  affordable travel . Travelling to  holiday destinations  when it is  out of season  saves a lot of money.  Out-of-season travel  is also the best way to avoid places that are  swarming with tourists.

Examiner: What are your favourite holiday pastimes?

Answer: I like to  get away from it all . I look for  exotic destinations  with  scenic views  that are  off the beaten track . I’d love to go on a wildlife safari! I tend to avoid  guided tours  and  packaged deals  as I prefer  to go sightseeing  on my own.

Examiner: How do you plan and prepare for your holiday?

Answer: I always do my research because I know exactly what I like. I thumb through  holiday brochures  and check travel sites like Airbnb on the Internet. I’m drawn to  spectacular beaches  and  lush forests.  I usually make  advance reservations  for  self-catering accommodation .

Part 2 style questions

Examiner: describe one of your best travel experiences..

This type of question supports a when, where and who reply.

Answer: Last year a friend and I took a  long-haul flight  to Peru. We were  travelling light  so we were able to really  get around . We stayed in  quaint villages  and hiked through  lush rainforests . We were determined to  do as the locals do , rather than go on guided tours, so we stayed with local people for part of the trip.

We visited colourful  craft markets  and brought back souvenirs, to remind us of our trip. One of my most  memorable experiences  was to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It is a little bit  off the beaten track  but it is surrounded by great  scenic beauty  and  magnificent landscapes.

Examiner: Describe a city that you think is interesting.

You should say: 

• where it is
• what it is famous for
• how you knew this city
• explain why you think it is very interesting

Read and listen to the sample answer here .

Examiner: Describe a tradition in your country.

• who takes part in it 
• what activities there are 
• explain how you feel about it

Part 3 style questions

Examiner: What type of holiday destination do you think attracts most tourists?

Answer: I know that many people are drawn to  wildlife safaris . This is certainly one of the big attractions in Africa. In Europe and Asia, the  stunning architecture , museums and  arts and culture  attract thousands of tourists every year.

Examiner: Do you think that the tourism industry will continue to grow in the next two decades?

Answer: I do. Many European and Asian countries have aging populations who will have  time on their hands  in the future. Many of them are likely to seek  holiday destinations around the world . Today there are many  affordable destinations  that offer  good value for money.

Examiner: What do you think your country could do to attract more tourists?

Answer: My country has stringent  visa regulations . If these were relaxed, I think that more visitors would choose to visit. We have an  efficient public transport , plenty of accommodation and natural and historical places of interest.

IELTS Vocabulary to talk about Cities

• add to (its) attraction:   make it more attractive 
• thriving:   lively and successful 
• hustle and bustle: full of movement and noise
• a craze: an activity that suddenly becomes very popular
• a (holiday) resort: a popular destination for holidays

It’s a very interesting way to learn about new cultures and explore new places.

Sample 2 : Absolutely! I’ve been crazy about it . You might not know this, normally I go away three or four times a year; but at the moment it seems that I will have to put off all my upcoming travels due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sample 3 : Yes, I enjoy travelling. I think that travelling is a great way to explore new places and cultures.

Even though this activity can cost quite a bit of money, I enjoy it because it allows me to visit beautiful places and try delicious cuisines from different parts of the world.

Sample 4 : Absolutely! It’s one of my favourite things to do. I try to go on three to four trips every year.

It’s not just about visiting tourist attractions or ticking off destinations from a list.

It’s about the experience of stepping out of my comfort zone and embracing the unknown.

l enjoy the anticipation and the sense of adventure that comes with each new journey, and I always look forward to my next trip.

Sample 5 : No, to be honest, l am not particularly fond of traveling . I really dislike constantly moving around and having to adapt to new environments and climates.

I don’t necessarily feel the need to travel far and wide to experience new things.

You know there are plenty of things to explore and enjoy in my own city.

For me, traveling once a year is enough to satisfy my curiosity and wanderlust .

2. How often do you go travelling?

Sample 2 : I usually travel twice a year. My family loves travelling together at the end of the year when each family member is able to take time off work or school.

My friends and I also plan a trip together each year to celebrate after our final exams.

3. Where do you usually travel?

Sample 1 : Well, I don’t have a specific place that I tend to travel to .

I like to keep things interesting by exploring different destinations each time I plan a trip.

Sometimes, I find myself drawn to bustling cities with vibrant street life and iconic landmarks .

Other times, I prefer the tranquility of natural surroundings , like mountains, beaches, or forests.

For me, each destination holds its unique charm and I am always excited to explore new conners of the world .

From ancient wonders to modern marvels , there is no shortage of incredible places to explore in Beijing.

I’ve visited the Great Wall and the modern Water Cube for several times.

I prefer exploring the areas near my home. I enjoy taking day trips to nearby towns or cities, discovering local attractions,and trying out new restaurants and cafes.

There’s so much to explore and appreciate in the surrounding areas.

So, rather than going on long trips, I love immersing myself in the beauty and charm of the places near my home .

4. How do you feel when you are travelling?

Sample 1 : Oh, I absolutely feel thrilled .

You know, it’s a feeling of excitement and joy that can’t easily put into words.

For me, traveling is a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy my time .

In fact, after returning from a long trip, I often find myself feeling a bit down because I miss the happy experiences I had while on holiday.

It always takes me several days to overcome the post-holiday blues .

Sample 2 : I usually feel incredibly excited and carefree whenever I travel.

Travelling is one of the best times for me to relax, unwind, and temporarily forget my worries.

Plus, looking at beautiful sceneries and enjoying delicious cuisines brings me a lot of happiness and fulfilment .

Do You Like Traveling? IELTS Speaking (20 Example Answers)

One topic you might be asked about in part one of your IELTS Speaking test is travel. And a very common travel question is, “Do you like traveling?”

In this post, you’ll learn how to give a great band-seven answer. You’ll also see 20 good example answers ( go straight to the answers here ).  

If You Do Like Traveling

Here are some possible reasons to like traveling. In your answer, talk about the reason which is true for you…

•   It’s exciting to see new places
•   You like new experiences  
•   You can try interesting food
•   You gain a sense of freedom
•   You can make friends from different places
•   You have an adventure with your friends
•   You can practice your English or other languages
•   You can forget about work or studies for a while
•   You can expand your mind and broaden your horizons
•   You can take lots of great photos for social media
•   You can make wonderful memories
•   You can go to romantic places
•   You can do some great shopping
•   You can buy souvenirs
•   You can go somewhere hot to get a tan
•   You can get to the beach
•   You can go to fun festivals around the world
•   You get lots of interesting stories
•   Anything else that comes to your mind

What More You Can Say

You can also talk about:

•   Where you’ve traveled to before
•   Where you’ve been recently
•   The best place you’ve ever been
•   Where you would love to visit in future
•   How you like to travel (by air, car, train…)
•   Where you usually stay when you travel
•   What you usually do when you travel
•   Who you like to travel with  
•   Anything else you can think of

What If You Don’t Like Traveling?

If you really don’t like traveling, no problem. Just say that you don’t, and then you could say…

•   Why you don’t like traveling
•   If you ever liked traveling in the past
•   If you’ve traveled before, and if you like it or not
•   What you’d rather do instead of traveling
•   If you know anyone who likes traveling
•   Why you think other people like traveling
•   If there are perhaps just one or two places you’d like to visit
•   Anything else that comes to mind

Keep It Short and Simple

These are lots of ideas. But don’t try to use them all!

Always remember that in part one, your answers should be quite short.

Part 1 should be like a natural conversation. It’s just supposed to warm you up .  

So your answers can be short (just 10 to 20 seconds long) and simple.  

If you keep your English simple here, it will be easier to focus on fluency .  

Don’t worry about using clever vocabulary and grammar (that will come in parts two and three).

Use the Three-Step YES Method

To help you answer part-one questions, use the YES Method.

You can just say:

•   Y our answer (‘yes, I do’ or ‘no, I don’t)
•   E xplain your answer (say why you do or don’t like traveling)
•   S top talking (wait patiently for the next question)

Let’s take a look at 20 good answers to this question about travel.

‘Yes, I Do’ Answers

1. Yes, I really like traveling because when I travel I can see fascinating, exotic countries and try all kinds of delicious dishes.  

2. Yes, I’ve always loved traveling. I’ve already been to most of the countries in Europe and I’d like to travel around South America. I’m a big fan of Latin American culture, music, and cuisine.  

3. Yes, I do. I think traveling broadens my mind and helps me to understand other people from different cultures. For these reasons, I think everyone should travel.

4. Yes, I really enjoy going on vacation with my family. Every year we travel somewhere new. Last summer we went to Nice in the South of France. The weather was lovely and the food was out of this world.

5. Yes, I certainly do like traveling. I haven’t been to any foreign countries yet, but I plan to travel a lot after I graduate from university.  

6. Yes, I do. I love to visit romantic places like Paris and Venice with my boyfriend. And I really want to go to Norway, where you can see the Northern Lights in the night sky. That would be wonderful.  

7. Yes, I do. I need to travel a lot for my work and that’s one of the best things about my job. When I visit a new city, I love taking some time for myself, to unwind and see the sights.

8. Yes, I love the sunshine, so I love traveling anywhere hot with a beach. I really enjoy lying on a sunny beach with a margarita and not a care in the world.  

9. Yes, I often travel to Tokyo to go shopping. You can buy really good cosmetics in Tokyo for very affordable prices. I fill up my suitcase before I come home.  

10. Yes, I have some really great memories from traveling on vacation in the past. I’ve been to many places in South East Asia with a few of my close friends. We’re planning another trip soon.

‘No, I Don’t’ Answers

11. To be honest with you, I’m not a big fan of traveling. I find it too tiring and stressful. All that packing and rushing to catch airplanes is too much for me. I’d rather just stay at home.  

12. I’m not really interested in traveling. It’s pretty expensive and takes up a lot of time. But I know a lot of people who like it.  

13. No, I don’t. I think traveling is dangerous. The world is a dangerous place and it’s much safer to stay in my own country, which I know well.  

14. Since the pandemic started, I’ve lost interest in traveling. I don’t want to wear a mask on a long plane journey and take lots of Covid tests and stay in quarantine. It’s too much of a hassle.  

15. No, I don’t like traveling because I don’t really see the point in going to another country full of strange people eating strange food and speaking a strange language.  

‘Kind Of’ Answers

16. Well, yes and no. I like traveling because it’s fun and relaxing, but when I travel I also get behind on my work. I always feel like I’m wasting time and want to get back home as soon as I can.  

17. I used to enjoy traveling a lot, but now that I’m older, traveling has kind of lost its appeal. These days, I’d rather just stay at home and watch documentaries about other countries on TV.  

18. To be honest, I haven’t been to many places so I don’t really know if I like traveling or not.  Maybe I’ll find out one day.

19. I guess I kind of like traveling. It’s a hassle preparing and getting to your destination. But once you’re there, it’s usually a lot of fun.  

20. Yes, I do like traveling, but I simply don’t have enough free time or money to travel much. So I’d rather save my money and spend vacations in my hometown.

Your Turn To Answer

There you have 20 good answers. See if you can borrow some ideas from them.

And now it’s time to give this question a go yourself.

Set up the recorder on your phone and ask out loud, “Do you like traveling?”

Afterward, listen to your answer, and repeat it again. Try to improve a little each time.

This is one excellent way to prepare for part one of your IELTS Speaking test.

IELTS SPEAKING PART 1 – Travelling

***In your IELTS interview, speak in FULL sentences – ALWAYS!

***Technically, the examiner does not mark you for the introduction, BUT in actuality, they are marking/judging your English ability from the first words that come out of your mouth. 

***Make sure to focus on the question specifically and target the subject and object of the questions. (If you use templates, “Ex. There are a plethora of places I go to have fun…”), it is much more likely that the examiner will interrupt your answers. 

***Do NOT say, “FOR EXAMPLE” – instead, just say the example. It’s more fluent and the examiner is less likely to interrupt your answers.

Examiner Questions:

Can I see your identification?

Yes, certainly, here is the page with my credentials, please take a look. 

What is your full name?

As it is in my passport, my given name is Gregory and my family name is Wallace, please just call me Greg for short. 

Where do you go for fun?

In order to relax and for some entertainment, I go to the recreation center that’s about a kilometer from my home. It has a swimming pool, a gym, billiard tables and even a small theater. I was there last Saturday with two of my friends. 

Who do you like to spend time with?   ***Paraphrase the question in your answer.

I enjoy the company of my friends and family, I have an older and a younger brother whom I spend much time with, especially on the weekends or in the evenings. We play sports together. I shot some hoops (to play basketball) with my younger brother last evening. 

PARAPHRASE – To say the same idea in a different way!

• Synonyms 🡪 travel = adventure, journey, trip
• Antonym + negative 🡪 stay = don’t go
• Description 🡪 city = an urban area with dense population
• Expressions (idioms, phrasal verbs) 🡪 shoot some hoops = play basketball
• Grammar 🡪 How often do you travel away (present simple)? = I haven’t adventured much from my hometown these past two years. (present perfect.)

***In order to get a band 7 or more in your IELTS Speaking, you have to show several forms of paraphrasing to the examiner.  

Poor – impoverished

Let’s talk about your traveling.

How often do you travel away from your city?

I frequently journey out of town, away from Victoria where I live, I would say at least five to ten times each month as I have friends and relatives living in many different places on Vancouver Island, and I love to go visit them. 

Where do you like to go on vacation?   (New slang staycation = a vacation where you stay at home )

I really enjoy taking time off and visiting places with a warm climate, preferably on a beach, such as Costa Rica or the Spanish Riviera, just because I really like swimming and surfing. I actually have a trip planned for next summer to hang out on the Mediterranean in Portugal with my family. 

When is the best time to travel for you? Why?

The most opportune time in the year for me to go on a trip is in the month of June when I have less work and the weather is quite good for most places, it’s not too hot, nor too cold. My trip to Portugal is planned for the 15th of June. 

What is your favorite way to travel? Why?

Have you ever traveled to another country? Why?

If you could visit any place on earth, where would you go? Why?

IELTS Speaking Vocabulary. Travel & Holidays

Before starting to practice answering various IELTS Speaking topics you should learn some topic vocabulary to know how to structure your answer.

On this page you can find useful IELTS speaking vocabulary with sentence examples for Travel & Holidays topic. This vocabulary is very useful to answer questions about travel and holidays and achieve a high score on IELTS Speaking test.

See IELTS Speaking sample about Travel & Holidays >

• accommodation: a room or building in which you stay during holidays or live. While I'm travelling, my favourite types of accommodation are hotels.
• all holiday : a time after you lost your job. He lost his job yesterday. Now it’s all holiday for him.
• all-inclusive : a hotel deal where the price includes accommodation, meals and drinks at any time. I've never thought that hotels with all-incusive service are so comfortable! You can grab a piece of cake at 6 a.m. or get a cocktail at midnight.
• half-board : if you request 'half-board' at a hotel, breakfast and dinner would be included in the hotel price (as part of the package). John and Lily liked their tour with half-board service. They spent breakfasts and dinners in the hotel and bought lunches in the nearby cafes.
• full-board : if you request 'full-board' at a hotel, that would include all three meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) in the price of your accommodation.
• self-catering : a holiday deal where meals are not provided. Mary thinks that self-catering is neither pleasant nor efficient.
• to book (something) : to arrange and confirm a place on a flight, a room in a hotel or a ticket for an event in the future. If you book your plane tickets in advance, they will be much cheaper.
• breathtaking view : an amazing view. I’ve seen many breathtaking views during my journey to Paris.

A: I would like to visit a pretty place with snow, lots and lots of snow, somewhere like Canada or maybe even in the mountains in Greece during the winter months. I would like to go skiing, try snowboarding and stay in a well-decorated log cabin, with a large real fireplace.

IELTS Speaking Sample Answer # Travel

You must have traveled to some or the other place. We all do. Travelling is that one thing that allows us to explore not only about the place but so much about ourselves and the people we travel to. Let us today have a look at some of the questions related to traveling and their possible answers.

Do you like to travel?

I love to travel, to explore new places and meet new people. It is so much fun for me and something I really love doing.

Where was the last place you visited on a holiday?

I remember going to Nainital with my father few months back. It was an amazing trip. The weather was great that day and we were on our bike, driving at a very slow speed, enjoying the journey and boating and eating corn and drinking tea. It was surely one of a great day.

What kind of places have you visited in your life?

For most of the time, I have visited only the places near to my granny’s house or the places where my father got located. But, since I have started working now, I am going to places I really want to. So, recently, I went to Mysore and I am planning to go Bhubaneswar next.

Which place would you really like to visit? Why?

I would one day love to visit Kashmir. People say that it heaven on Earth and I want to see and experience Kashmir for myself. I want to meet the people and know what is exactly in their minds regarding the heat in between India and Pakistan related to them and how is it like to live in what is considered to be heaven on Earth.

What is the best place you have ever visited?

For all the places that I have ever visited, I would say, Mysore was really beautiful. It is truly one of the safest cities that I have come across in my life and also very peaceful and full of history and culture. So, there is this Mysore palace and then Jagmohan Palace. Also, there are so many near by cities to it. You can go to bangalore or koorg or the waterfalls. It is truly amazing. The weather is great, people are nice and food is truly amazing.

Has a foreign visitor ever stayed at your home?

Well, not really, but I would always welcome any foreign person to my home and country.

What is the best way to save money while travelling?

I think the best way is to plan. When you have planned the entire journey, it becomes easier for you to travel cheaper because you know so much more about the journey. You know the places, the train tickets, the bus tickets, you know. So, you wait for some time and then take the best option.

What are some of the problems of long distance travelling?

I think the only problem with long distance travelling is that one tends to get bored after some time. But, if you are with your friends and your family members, I think there is no issue then. Apart from this, the other issue at hand is that some people tend to have some sort of ailments and travelling long distance is quite tiring.

Has the way people travel change over the last few decades?

I think it surely has changed. Their was a time when people preferred trains over flights. But with flight rates going down and so much offers being provided, also the economy of the country rising, I think people are now taking flights for longer distances. Even more, the economic condition of middle class people has risen, so now you can see them travelling in a better condition, as compared to the one may be a decade back.

What do you do while travelling?

Well, it all depends. If I am travelling alone, I tend to either read books or listen to music. I often also start writing about things here and there. But, when I am travelling with my friends or family members, we are mostly talking and playing games through out the journey. It is like when I am alone, I am usually making notes and doing some serious travel blogging thing, but with friends it is more about making memories.

Talking about Holidays and Travel for IELTS

Posted by David S. Wills | Jan 23, 2018 | IELTS Tips , Speaking | 1

Hello, readers! Sorry for not posting so much lately. For the past week and a half I have been travelling in India as it is currently my winter holiday. I will continue to travel for the next few weeks before I return to work. You can read some stories from my travels at my personal blog .

So today, let’s talk about holidays and IELTS!

The topic of holidays and travel can come up often in the IELTS exam. For example, in the listening exam you might have to listen to someone inquiring about plane or train tickets on the phone. In the writing exam you might have to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of international travel. And so on…

Today, though, we’re going to focus on speaking. Travel/holidays can appear in any part of the speaking exam. As you would expect, in part one the questions will be short and simple and very general. In part two you’ll have to speak for a minute or two describing something. Then, in part three, you’ll get more complex questions that may relate to society or gender or other difficult issues.

Q: Do you like travelling?

A: Yes, I love travelling. Every time that I get the chance, I go somewhere new.

Q: What do you usually do on holiday?

A: I like to do many different things, like spend time on the beach, go hiking in the mountains, or visit some sites of cultural or historical importance.

Q: When do you usually go on holiday?

A: Well, I’m working right now so I go on holiday when I get time off work. For me, that’s in the summer and winter vacation, as well as national holidays.

Here’s the cue card:

Describe a place you once visited. You should say:

• When you visited it
• Where is it situated
• Who you went with

and say what about it you like the most

This is my sample answer, with useful language underlined:

A leopard in Sri Lanka Last year, during the winter holiday, I visited Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is a small island nation in the Indian Ocean, not far from India. I booked tickets there because it was one of the few remaining countries in Asia that I hadn’t yet seen. As usual, I travelled there alone. I often travel this way because it allows me a large degree of freedom in my planning. I arrived in the country with no itinerary except just the idea to explore. So I flew into the capital city of Colombo and then travelled by public bus in a circle around much of the southern part of the country. Sri Lanka is a really amazing country and I enjoyed the culture, the food, and the environment. Some of my favourite memories are of hiking through the hills near Ella after a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast and a pot of famous Ceylon tea. However, my absolute best experience was seeing a leopard at Yalla National Park. These elusive creatures are fascinating to me, and I was incredibly fortunate to see one during my safari.

Q: Why do you think some people prefer travelling in large groups?

A: I think that for some people the idea of travelling alone or with just a small group is intimidating. They feel that it is too difficult or dangerous, and so they travel with a pre-arranged tour group. This makes their journey simpler and safer.

Q: Do you think that travelling is more difficult for women than for men?

A: Unfortunately, yes. There are many parts of the world where it is unsafe for women to travel alone. Women also have to take into consideration local cultural norms that govern their behavior, whereas men often have much more freedom to do as they please.

Q: How will tourism develop in future?

A: It is hard to say for sure, but it seems likely that more and more people will travel the globe. They may even begin to travel beyond this world into outer space as technology develops. You could see people travelling under the sea or into the skies in special new vehicles or accommodations.

A Video About Travel and IELTS

Here is a video I made that answers a related question:

2. Bài mẫu chủ đề Travel/ Holiday - Part 1

Câu hỏi : Do you like holidays? Why?

Yes, of course. You know, since I'm always swamped with work and deadlines, a holiday once in a while is an optimal choice for me to get away from the mundane day-to-day routine.

I would love to take a small trip to some coastal cities where I can enjoy the scenic landscapes and be with nature. And who knows, I can even learn something new after those trips.

Vocabulary ghi điểm: 

Swamped with work and deadlines: ngập trong công việc và deadline.

Mundane day-to-day routine (noun phrase): công việc hàng ngày.

Learn something new (v): học những thứ gì mới.

Câu hỏi : Which public holiday do you like best?

I would go with Tet holiday, or Lunar New Year for it is considered a distinct festival of Vietnam. On this occasion, people not only have the chance to blow off some steam and recharge their batteries after a whole year of hard work but also get to enjoy family gatherings and tighten their bonds with other family members.

Distinct festival (noun phrase): lễ hội mang đậm bản sắc văn hóa.

Blow off some steam (v): xả hơi.

Recharge their batteries (v): nạp lại năng lượng. 

Tighten their bonds (v): gắn kết tình cảm.

Câu hỏi : Do you prefer to travel or stay at home during holiday periods? Why?

To be quite honest, I am very interested in traveling during holiday periods. These holiday periods are when I put my feet up and escape from the hectic pace of life . Besides, traveling is a good chance for me to take up extremely interesting sports like windsurfing and waterskiing. Moreover, I can sample the local foods when I travel rather than stay at home and eat normal ones.

To put one’s feet up (idiom): thư giãn, giải trí.

To escape from the hectic pace of life (phrase): thoát khỏi nhịp sống xô bồ.

To take up + a sport (verb): bắt đầu chơi một trò chơi thể thao.

To sample the local food (verb phrase): thử các món đặc sản.

3. Bài mẫu chủ đề Travel/ Holiday - Part 2

Câu hỏi : Describe a place you visited on vacation.

Khi được yêu cầu mô tả một địa điểm bạn đã ghé thăm trong kỳ nghỉ. Bạn nên nói:

Khi nào bạn đến đó.

Bạn đã làm gì ở đó.

Và giải thích tại sao bạn đến đó.

As an avid traveler, I would love to share with you about the time I took a 3-day trip to Hoi An ancient town. It is a town situated in Quang Nam, a central part of Vietnam. If my memory serves me right, I went to Hoi An 3 years ago during summer vacation with my group of best friends.

When I first set foot in this place, I was instantly captivated by the beauty of this place. It is such a charming holiday destination with breathtaking views and scenic landscapes. We went off-season so it wasn’t as lively and touristy as usual, but hordes of tourists flock to this place every year to enjoy its beauty.

The city’s architecture is a harmonious blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese design, so there are a lot of pagodas, temples, and ancient houses that bear their very unique marks, which really sets this city apart from any other places in Vietnam.

Set foot in this place (v): đặt chân đến nơi này.

Captivated by the beauty of this place (v): bị quyến rũ bởi vẻ đẹp của nơi này.

Hordes of tourists (n): đoàn khách du lịch.

Sets this city apart (v): khiến thành phố này khác biệt.

4. Bài mẫu chủ đề Travel/ Holiday - Part 3

Câu hỏi : Do old people and young people choose different places to go on vacation? Why?

In my opinion, age doesn’t diminish wanderlust , but it sure affects the way we travel, specifically the way we choose our holiday destinations.

I think younger people tend to enjoy adventure and having fun, so they would choose to go to either some tourist traps where there are a lot of holiday activities, or they could go backpacking somewhere off the beaten track to satisfy their thirst for adventure.

As for older people, they definitely prefer relaxation, so they would just opt for somewhere serene and peaceful to ease their mind , maybe near a lake or go to churches and pagodas, or something like that.

Diminish wanderlust (v): hạn chế đam mê du lịch.

Off the beaten track: những nơi mạo hiểm.

To ease their mind: làm dịu tâm trí của họ.

Câu hỏi : What are the negative impacts of tourism?

I believe the most detrimental impact of tourism is on the environment. What I mean is that excessive building, like roads, hotels or other holiday accommodation, etc. can destroy the natural habitats and spoil the landscape of the country.

Tourism can also lead to pollution and waste. From a cultural perspective , local traditions may be lost, and traditional jobs and skills such as fishing, and farming may die out soon .

Detrimental impact tác động bất lợi nhất.

Cultural perspective (n): góc độ văn hóa.

Die out soon (v): sớm bị mai một.

IELTS Daily Speaking Topic: Describe your first day at school.

• Updated on  
• Apr 30, 2024

You should say:

• Where was it? 
• What happened?
• Explain how you felt on that day.

Brainstorming Ideas

Refer to the following brainstorming ideas to get a solid understanding of the answer.

• My first day at school filled me with a sense of anticipation and my English teacher’s gentle voice put me at ease.
• She patiently explained everything to me when I struggled to understand new concepts.
• The highlight of the day was the lunch break where among the shared lunch boxes and funny stories and I didn’t realise when I started making new friends.
• Amid all the excitement, there was also a sense of nervousness as everything was new to me and I found myself lost but then eventually  I managed to find my way around. 
• That day made me realise that despite the initial fear, change isn’t always negative.

Q. Describe your first day at school. You should say where was it, what happened, and explain how you felt on that day.

Ans . My first day at school is a memory that still lives rent-free in my mind. My school was located in the heart of the city and was surrounded by lush green trees and beautiful flowers. It was a private school named Dashmesh Public School with a cream-coloured building that stood tall and inviting.  

When I first entered the school, I was greeted by a wave of unfamiliar faces. The hustle and bustle of school corridors, the sound of the school bell, and the chatter of excited schoolchildren filled me with a sense of anticipation. My first class was English and our teacher Mrs. Rajdhar, introduced herself with a warm smile. She had a kind face and a gentle voice that immediately put me at ease. I remember when I struggled to understand a new concept, she patiently explained everything to me until I grasped it. The highlight of the day was the lunch break. When I sat in the cafeteria, surrounded by my new classmates. We shared lunches, exchanged funny stories and before I knew it, I was laughing and making friends. I met Kashish, who shared a chocolate cake with me, and since then we have become best friends. 

However, amid all the excitement, there was also a sense of nervousness. Everything felt new and unfamiliar, the ways to reach my class were still new to me, so I would sometimes feel lost in the school, the teachers, the subjects and even the school uniform were fresh to me. I felt like a small fish in a big pond. But as the day progressed, my nervousness gradually faded away and was replaced by a sense of curiosity and excitement. I remember feeling a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. Eventually, I managed to find my way around the school without getting lost, which was a big deal for me. 

Overall, I had mixed emotions throughout the day. It was a day filled with new experiences, friends, and lessons. That day made me realise that despite the initial fear, change isn’t always negative, and venturing beyond one’s comfort zone can result in beautiful new beginnings.

Where was the school and how was it: My first day at school is a memory that still lives rent-free in my mind. My school was located in the heart of the city and was surrounded by lush green trees and beautiful flowers.

What were your feelings about everything that happened on the first day: However, amid all the excitement, there was also a sense of nervousness. Everything felt new and unfamiliar, the ways to reach my class were still new to me, so I would sometimes feel lost in the school, the teachers, the subjects and even the school uniform were fresh to me.
