Ielts speaking part 1 topics (questions and answers)

Q. Are some parts of your country colder than others? [Why?] 
Answer: Bhutan is a rather small country, but its temperatures can vary 
extremely from the North to the South as well as valley to valley, depending on 
the elevation. For example, the northern part of Bhutan, bordering with Tibbet, 
can be extremely cold, and can be covered with snow because it sits on a rather 
high altitude while the western, the eastern and, central Bhutan (cities like Ha, 
Paro, Thimphu, Wandue, Tongsa, Bumthang, Trashi Yangtse, Lhuntse) mostly 
experience European-like weather because of its little lower altitude where 
winter 
typically 
lasts 
from 
November 
to 
March. 
Q. Would you prefer to live in a hot place or a cold place? [Why?] 
Answer: Sometimes, I feel cold even during the summer time (probably because 
of my low body temperature, I suppose). Therefore, the hotter the weather is, 
the better it so for me. Besides, I feel that putting on too many clothes every 
time I go out, and then take them off after coming back to home, is just a 
terrible waste of time. Then again, I could be wrong too about this “whole 
practice” 
of 
changing 
clothes! 
Topic: Keeping in contact with people 
Q. 
How 
do 
you 
usually 
contact 
your 
friends? 
[Why?] 
Q. Do you prefer to contact different people in different ways? [Why?] 
Q. Do you find it easy to keep in contact with friends and family? [Why/Why 
not?] 
Q. In your country, did people in the past keep in contact in the same ways as 
they 
do 
today? 
[Why/Why 
not?] 
Q. 
How 
do 
you 
usually 
contact 
your 
friends? 
[Why?] 
Answer: I usually contact my friends by phone or email if they are far from me 
because it is more convenient and easy than meeting them in person. However, 

---

if my friends live within the close proximity of where I live, I always try to meet 
them in person because the practice helps create a stronger bond of friendship.
