Ielts speaking part 1 topics (questions and answers)

Q. What traffic problems are there in your area? [Why is that?] 
Answer: With the rapid growth of population, urbanization and transportation, 
traffic problems in the area, where I live, has become a real cause for concerns 
because vehicles run at a snail’s pace not only during the peak hours but also 
during the “off-peak” hours sometimes. These traffic problems are not only 
causing us to lose very valuable 'working hours' but also causing extra fuel 
consumption and air pollution in an otherwise clean city of Kuala Lumpur.
Q. 
How 
do 
traffic 
problems 
affect 
you? 
Answer: Traffic problems affect a person both mentally and physically. Because 
of the traffic problems, I actually have to get ready well ahead of my regular 
travel itineraries in order to allow myself enough time to reach my workplace. 
Then, by the time I reach my office, I am already tired because of “struggling” 
extra time on the roads. Besides, when I can’t reach home after work on time, 
because of the huge traffic problems again, sometimes, I just don't have enough 
time to relax in the company of my loved ones.

Q. How would you reduce the traffic problems in your area? 
Answer: First, I would try to reduce the number of private cars and vehicles and 
increase the number of public transportation to ease the traffic problems in my 
area. Secondly, I would encourage using bicycles more and more since 
improvements and construction of the bicycle infrastructure, and the 
introduction of the urban bicycling program is already underway. Finally, new 
roads and streets should be built with a better plan in order to connect different 
parts of the city since we already have enough empty space to be used for 
building new road infrastructures.
