Ielts speaking part 1 topics (questions and answers)

Q. 
Do 
you 
like 
going 
to 
the 
countryside? 
Answer: Yes, I like to go to the countryside, whenever I get an opportunity 
because it helps me enjoy the beautiful nature from up close, unlike in a city 
which is usually very crowded. 
Q. 
Why 
is 
the 
countryside 
usually 
quieter 
than 
the 
city? 
Answer: The countryside is normally quieter than the city for several reasons. 
The first probable reason is that people in the countryside choose to live a rather 
simple and laidback lifestyle. Secondly, the countryside doesn’t exactly harbour 
buses, trains, trollies, bike shares, light rail, ferries, trams, and more easily 
accessible ways to travel like in the cities. Thirdly and finally, countrysides do 
not have a huge number of population, unlike city areas. 
Q. Why do many people prefer to live in the countryside? 
Answer: Many people prefer to live in the countryside, primarily because it 
offers them the comfort of living a rather simplistic life in the company of the 
beautiful mother nature. Some people choose to live in the countryside also 
because living there can be much less expensive and hectic than living in a city. 
Q. 
Where 
are 
the 
quietest 
places 
in 
cities? 
Answer: Finding absolutely quiet and tranquil places in cities can be really 
challenging. However, hospitals and libraries (where people sit and read) could 
be considered as some of the quietest places in cities. Some people would also 
argue that public parks and gardens can also be some of the quietest places in 
some cities. 
Q. What will the countryside look like in your country in the future? 
Answer: Well, I am afraid to say that the most countrysides in my country 
would become more and more like a city in near future since more and more 
modern-day facilities and amenities, like those of a city, would become 
available in the countryside as well. Due to population rise at a rapid speed, the 
countrysides will also become congested and noisy.
