Ielts speaking part 1 topics (questions and answers)

of 
the weekend? 
[Why?] 
Answer: My favourite part of the weekend is certainly the “morning” when I 
don’t have to worry about waking up early and getting ready quickly to get to 
work. Then, of course, I also like the part when I don’t really have to worry 
about going to bed “early” or staying up late at night. Even more special are the 
Friday nights when my mind is pretty much “occupied” with the very thoughts 
of enjoying a long weekend, waiting ahead of me.
Q. Do you think your weekends are long enough? [Why/Why not?] 
Answer: Yes, I do think that my weekends are long enough because it helps me 

---

to rejuvenate for the challenges of the next week by allowing me to do the 
things that I really enjoy. Of course, an extra weekend day would certainly be 
welcome by many people like me, but I don’t see it happening in the near 
future. So, essentially, whether our weekend is long enough or not depends on 
how we plan to spend the time. 
Q. How important do you think it is to have free time on the weekends? 
[Why?] 
Answer: There is no doubt that work is important, but so is the recreation, 
families and friends. But, without enough free time, be it on the weekends or 
some other times, we just won’t be able to “recharge” ourselves, nor will we be 
able to interact with our families and friends enough in order to show them that 
they really matter in our lives. Therefore, it is absolutely important that we have 
enough free time in order to ensure a “balanced” life so that not only we can 
succeed in our professional life but also in personal life.
