Read the sample IELTS speaking part 1 answer on the topic: Do you like travelling? By reading this sample answer, you can get some ideas about different questions that will help you in the actual exam.
1. Do you like travelling?
Travelling is one of my passions. It gives me a chance to unwind from all that stress of the job and personal struggles in life. Therefore, I always travel to new places after every month or two
2. How do you usually travel?
Most of the time, I prefer to travel in my own car. It gives me freedom to take stops on the way whenever I feel tired. Moreover, you can enjoy different places as much as you want. If I have to go somewhere that is very remote and lacks proper roads, then I use public transport.
3. Where have you travelled to lately?
A few weeks ago, I went to Bali. It has been one of my dream destinations to explore. I had been planning to go there since last year, but due to different reasons, I was unable to execute this plan. So, last week, I booked a hotel and took a flight to Bali, and spent 2 weeks there. It was an amazing experience.
4. What kind of places do you like to visit?
I don’t prefer to visit crowded tourist destinations. It’s impossible to explore the place properly if there are a lot of people. The noise gets so much that you cannot feel relaxed. Therefore, I visit calm and peaceful places that are remote and surrounded by mountains.
