Ielts speaking part 1 topics (questions and answers)

Q. Do you ever use a microwave to cook food quickly? [Why/Why not?]  
Answer: Yes, we have been using a microwave oven at our house for more than 
a decade. Though we mostly use it to reheat a food item, we sometimes use it to 
cook food faster or make an item when it is necessary, for instance, to prepare a 
homemade pizza. It offers great convenience of reheating foods and cooking 
food by saving time and energy.
Q. How popular are fast food restaurants where you live? [Why/Why not?] 
Answer: Fast food restaurants are insanely popular, especially among children 

---

and teenagers, in the place where I live. They are everywhere, and you just need 
to walk a few steps to find a flamboyant fast food restaurant with many 
customers. I believe they are popular among children and the young generation 
because they are very fond of those scrumptious, sugary and calorie-packed 
food items that usually satisfy their taste buds.
Q. When would you go to a fast-food restaurant? [Why/Why not?] 
Answer: I am more of a person who prefers homemade food these days but it 
does not deter me from visiting a nice fast food restaurant once in a while. I 
believe I eat at a fast-food restaurant around three to four times a month. So 
there is a good possibility that I will visit one in a week or so with a few of my 
friends. 
Topic: Friends 
Q. Are your friends mostly your age or different ages? [Why?] 
Q. Do you usually see your friends during the week or at weekends? [Why?] 
Q. The last time you saw your friends, what did you do together? 
Q. 
In 
what 
ways 
are 
your 
friends 
important 
to 
you? 
Q. Are your friends mostly your age or different ages? [Why?] 
Answer: Most of my friends are about my age. Only two or three of them are 
junior to me by five to six years. As my friends are mostly from my class, it's 
natural that we do not have a noticeable age gap. For junior friends, they are 
from my neighbourhood and were my playmates in my childhood. So they 
became good friends of mine over time despite the age difference.
