Ielts speaking part 1 topics (questions and answers)

Q. 
Do 
you 
go 
places 
on 
foot 
a 
lot? 
Answer: Well, the distance, I cover every day on feet for about 10 minutes in 
order to travel to a bus stop, doesn’t really qualify to be considered as “a lot”, as 
far as I am concerned. 
Q. 
Did 
you 
walk 
more 
when 
you 
were 
younger? 
Answer: Yes, I would say that I certainly walked more when I was younger, 
since I was more energetic back then and I didn’t have to always worry too 
much about “arriving on time”. Besides, I did not own a car in my young age 
and I naturally walked while travelling to a short distance. 
Q. Why do some people prefer walking to driving a car? 
Answer: Well, there could be a couple of reasons for which some people prefer 
walking to driving a car. The first reason is that they think that walking is better 
for their health. Secondly, they don’t like to get stuck in the traffic for a long 
period of time and they have trouble finding a parking space. 
Q. 
Do 
people 
in 
your 
country 
walk 
a 
lot? 
Answer: Well, in these days, I don’t really think that people in my country walk 
“a lot” (depending on how we choose to define “a lot” here) because different 
kinds of transportations are very easily available to them in order to take them 
to all kinds of places and a large proportion of people own private cars.
