IELTS Speaking Part 1 – GETTING UP EARLY

Do you often get up early in the morning?

No, I don’t wake up early in the morning too often. But recently I have started following a sleep schedule to get up early. I have even stopped drinking caffeine in later part of the day so as not to sabotage my changing habits.

What do you usually do when you get up early?

The first thing I usually do after getting up early is drink a glass of water. You know..The body is dehydrated from the sleep, and the metabolism wants something to start working and burning calories. Then I do an hour-long workout with my trainer before finally get dressed and go to my office.

Do you get up early on weekends?

No…not really! I sleep for longer hours on weekends. I think it’s important for me to give my body a break from the 5-day hardship and to calm my mind from everything else.

Which morning do you like the best in a week?

Of course the best morning in a week is Sunday morning. It’s the day when everyone in my family stays home and we enjoy breakfast together.

SINGING

Do you often (like to) sing?

I sing when I feel like it, and that’s usually relatively often. I sing in the car with my friends, in the shower, and sometimes whenever, just in the house. At times I have a phone recording session where I pick out some songs and just do a one-shot or two-shots using the voice memo feature.

What kinds of music do you like to sing?

Mostly I like to sing soft, romantic songs to feel the vibes of love. I think this genre of music resonates well with my personality. I usually do my daily chores while singing

Do you want to be a singer?

Actually I never thought about becoming a singer! Singing is my hobby, it acts as a medicine to calm my nerves. If I get the right mentorship, may be I could turn out to be a singer in the future.

Will you take singing lessons in the future?

Yes, I am planning to take singing lessons and also want to learn Guitar in the future. I think I have it in me, it’s just that I lack proper guidance.

[TEXT MESSAGING, SPORTS, RECYCLE]

Do you like texting?

Yes, I like sending messages. Mostly, I prefer sending text over whatsapp and facebook as they are extensively used platforms and all my friends & relatives are on it.

Do you prefer sending or receiving messages?

Usually, I prefer both! An effective communication is believed to be two-way communication where one is a sender and other is a receiver and vice-versa. On an everyday basis, I exchange hundreds of SMS’s with my work colleagues, relatives and family members.

Have you ever received a confusing text message?

Yes, There was a time when I was befuddled by a text message. It’s interesting anecdote related to my trip to Kerala. Actually, I made an online train reservation where I was supposed to get my booking details through an SMS. I received a message where I was assigned two seats in two different train coaches. Initially, I get confused so I called the Indian railways helpline and found out that it was a technical glitch. Later they send me over the confirmed seat arrangement in another message.

In what circumstances is making a phone call better than sending a text messages?

I think a phone conversation is by all means better to console someone at a time of grief or disappointment. Moreover, a troubled relationship can also find a healthy restart with just a phone call. Text messages in such cases are meaningless and out of context.

Do you recycle? Why?

Indeed I recycle a lot of stuff, for instance, Paper: office paper, magazines, newspapers and junk mail; Juice and milk cartons; Cardboard pieces etc. Recycling is important simply because the more we recycle, the less garbage winds up in our landfills and incineration plants. In short, our planet could be saved!

Did you recycle when you were a kid?

When I was a kid, I used to cut plastic bottles into pieces and turn them into aesthetically looking flower pots. Also, I put my old t-shirts into reuse by turning them into car rags.

Will you recycle in the future?

Well definitely, I would continue to recycle in the forthcoming period. The rate at which we’re exploiting the natural resources, recycling has become the need of the hour. I will surely play my part by recycling more and more products in the future.

What kind of things do you recycle?

As I said, I put myriad of things into reuse such as I make artistic coasters out of old CDs by drawing or painting on them; I use take-away containers, glass jars and small pots to store cakes, needles, threads, buttons, coffee beans and spices.

Sports 

Are you interested in sport?

Certainly I am interested in sports activities. I relish an active lifestyle where my day usually starts with jogging in the park and ends up playing badminton in the evening

What sports do you like? Why?

There are countless sports that I like. To name a few, let’s say, Badminton, Cricket and Football are my favourites. They are outdoor sports and as such keep my physical health in check. Imay not feel at home pounding away on a treadmill or working up a sweat in the gym, but I’ll happily chase a ball around endlessly while playing a game of some sort.

What sports do people in your country like to play?

Cricket is the best-loved sport in my country. You’ll normally find children and youngsters playing Cricket on the streets of India. In addition to that, Indians also like to play Football.
