In the IELTS Speaking test, you will be given exactly 1 minute to prepare and talk about a particular topic and this topic will be given in the IELTS Cue Card or Candidate Task Card.
1. Talk about one of your family members who you spend the most time with.
You should say:
- who it is
- when you are usually together
- what you do together
- and explain why you spend the most time with this member of your family
Band 9.0 Sample Answer :
A family member with who I spend most of my time is my /father/mother/sister/brother/cousin…My father/mother/sister/brother/cousin… is a very considerate and thoughtful person. When I was small, he/she took really good care of me; taught me my lessons and never let me out of his/her sight. Even now, whenever I have a bad day, he/she is always there for me and helps me get through it.
As I have gotten older, my father/mother/sister/brother/cousin… has become my best friend. I can share my interests, my career plans or even things about my love life with them – in fact, anything at all. And during other times, especially when I am down, he/she gives me the encouragement that I need to move on. To me, he/she is a role model who I always look up to/admire/and follow in his/her footsteps. He/she constantly reminds me that I have to give my best in everything I choose to pursue so that I can achieve my goal in this life. Thanks to his/her advice, I have made significant progress in my personal life. Although, of course, I love everyone in my family, because he/she is so special to me, I think that we will always be in touch, just as we do now, almost every day.
