Ielts speaking part 1 topics (questions and answers)

Q. What would you suggest a visitor should see and do in your country? 
Answer: Bhutan is a very beautiful country to visit, and there are just too many 
things to do there. Once you visit this Himalayan country, you will be able to 
see some of the most beautiful and, of course, the tallest mountain ranges in the 
world apart from the Himalaya. One can also see beautiful forests and ancient 
Buddhist 
architectural 
sites. 
Once arriving in Bhutan, one chooses to do a lot of things, but one thing which 
almost everybody wants to do is to hike The Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro 
Taktsang), which certainly is one of Bhutan’s most iconic landmarks and is 
located at the side of a steep cliff wall in the Paro valley. But, if you are really 
into learning the festivals of the Bhutanese people, you can always enjoy some 
religious festivals (called “Tsechus”) from up close apart from meeting the 
locals 
and 
enjoying 
their 
traditional 
foods. 
Q. Are there any traditional arts or music you would recommend? 
Answer: Bhutanese arts, culture, traditions and music are well-rooted in the 
religion of Buddhism. As far as music is concerned, I would recommend folk 
songs (traditional music) which can be classified as Zhungdra and Boedra. 
Zhungdra is sung by the use of extended vocal tones and relatively simple 
instrumental melody. I would also recommend “Cham” dance which involves a 
series of masked dances by wearing colourful costumes during the religious 
festivals. 
Q. Tell me about the kind of foreign visitors or tourists who go to your 
country. 
Answer: Most tourists, who come to visit Bhutan, arrive on a short term basis, 
and they are mostly the nationals of Asian countries, followed by the Europeans 
and the US. Since tourism began in Bhutan in 1974, the number of visitors to 
this Himalayan country has only increased with 260,000 people arriving in the 
year 
of 
2018.
