Ielts speaking part 1 topics (questions and answers)

Q. What is the balance of work/study and free time in your normal day? 
Answer: I like to believe that my work life and free time for leisure and other 
activities in a normal day is pretty balanced since I almost always have enough 
time at my disposal, after my work hours, in order to interact with my family 
members and attending other important things, like doing grocery shopping and 
worshipping 
at 
temples. 
Topic: Travelling to work or college 
Q. 
How 
do 
you 
usually 
travel 
to 
work 
or 
college? 
[Why?] 
Q. Have you always travelled to work/college in the same way? [Why/Why 
not?] 
Q. What do you like about travelling to work/college this way? 
Q. What changes would improve the way you travel to work/college? [Why?] 
Q. How do you usually travel to work or college? [Why?] 
Answer: I usually travel to work on my motorbike since I live in a remote 
village area where we don’t really have any reliable public transportation 
system to commute back and forth from our works. Besides, I like my little 
motorbike as it is convenient to use, and I can park it anywhere very easily. 
Q. Have you always travelled to work/college in the same way? [Why/Why 
not?] 
Answer: Yes, I have always travelled to my work in the same way with my bike 
mainly because using a bike is very convenient for me since I have the freedom 
to go anywhere at my own pace. Besides, I have found out that travelling on my 

---

bike costs me significantly lesser than travelling in a public bus which, by the 
way, is not very reliable because of the poorly-built roads in the area where I 
live. 
Q. What do you like about travelling to work/college this way? 
Answer: The best thing, which I really like about travelling with my little 
motorbike, is that I can reach my destination within a short period of time which 
certainly wouldn’t be possible if I was to commute by a bus. Besides, after 
finishing my office works, I have to go to different places sometimes, such as 
visiting my relatives and doing grocery shopping, and doing those things on 
time would be really difficult for me if I didn’t have my bike with me.
