Ielts speaking part 1 topics (questions and answers)

Q. 
What 
makes 
a 
friend 
into 
a 
good 
friend? 
Answer: I am not really into judging whether someone is a good friend or not. 
In fact, the very fact that someone chooses to “befriend” me is a matter of great 
joy and happiness for me. Therefore, I would say that every friend is a “good” 
friend to me. But, in my opinion, a good friend would turn into even a better one 
if he or she remains by my side not only during my happy days but also during 
the ‘not-so’ happy days because as they say, “a friend in need is a friend 
indeed”, and I happen to agree with it whole-heartedly.

Answer: Ibn Battuta, one of the world’s famous travellers of the middle ages, 
once said that “Traveling leaves you speechless, then turns you into a 
storyteller”. Now, I am not too sure if there are any people in this world who 
don’t like to travel, but I do- I really, really like travelling whether it is inside 
my beautiful country or outside of it. 
I love travelling because it reminds me of how “unimportant” I really am and 
my life is to this big and wonderful world in the grand scheme of things. Getting 
exposure to new places, new customs, new traditions, new cultures and new 
people can take our life experience to a whole new level by opening our eyes 
and hearts to new possibilities which just wouldn’t really be possible otherwise. 
Travelling helps me realize that my life isn’t the only life I could live as I could 
be anywhere and anybody at any point of time without getting caught up so 
much in my daily routine life.
