Ielts speaking part 1 topics (questions and answers)

Q. 
Can 
you 
tell 
me 
your 
full 
name, 
please? 
Answer: Sure! My full name is Hoang Pham. People call me by “Hoang”. 
Q. What 
shall 
I 
call 
you? 
Answer: Please call me “Hoang”. Thank you. 
Q. Tell 
me 
about 
the 
countryside 
outside 
your 
town/city. 
Answer: I live in Hanoi, the bustling capital city of my country. But, our 
countryside, at least 60-70 kilometres outside of my city, is peaceful and has a 
very tranquil atmosphere, surrounded by amazingly refreshing landscape. You 
will also get to see shades of green, covering the entire landscape, as far as your 
eyes can see, so much so that you will not ever want to leave! 
Q. Would you like to live in the countryside or a metropolitan city in the 
future? 
[Why?] 
Answer: In the future, I would want to live in the countryside mainly because I 
love nature, and I like to stay close to Mother Nature. Besides, I firmly believe 
that living in the countryside is healthier than living in the city as it would allow 
me to breathe fresh air and drink fresh and uncontaminated water. Finally, I love 
the simplistic lifestyles that people in the countryside have. 
Q. Why do some people move to a city from a rural area? Do you know 
someone 
who 
did 
so? 
Answer: I would assume that some people move to a city from a rural area 
primarily because it allows them to have better income opportunities. Besides, 
some people would move to a city because they become attracted to the “flashy” 
city life in order to enjoy life more. Finally, some people would move to a city 
because of better educational opportunities. For example, I know of one of my 
distant cousins who moved to Hanoi to attend a good technical university a few 
years ago.
