Question Type 1: Basic Description Questions. Ielts speaking test. Part 1

· Would you like to change your job?

· Would you like to live near the sea?

· Would you like to learn another foreign language?

· Would you like to be in a film?

· What would you like to change about your city?

· What would you like to change about your school?

· Would you like to change your name?

· What job would you like to do in the future?

· Would you like to live in a foreign country?

· Would you like to be a professional photographer?

When you add a reason or detail, you need to use more second conditional structures:

e.g.: “Would you like to move to another city in the future?”

“I would like to change cities if I had the chance, because if I lived in a different city I would make lots of new friends and I could try lots of new kinds of food. Also I might be able to find a well-paid job."

Activity 2

Go back to the previous activity questions and develop your answer with details or reasons, using more examples of the second conditional. (Try to use some examples with "might" and "could".) For some of these questions it is possible to use a negative form.

e.g.: “Would you like to move to another city?”

“No I wouldn’t like to move to another city, because if I lived in another city I wouldn‘t have any friends.”

Try to make some negative sentences for the questions (remember your details and reasons can be either positive or negative structures, but they should be second conditional).

Sometimes candidates begin these questions with: "I never thought about it." This is not a good example of native-speaker language. The following structures can be used to begin your answer.
