Read the sample IELTS speaking part 1 answer on the topic: Did you have a favourite book when you were a child? By reading this sample answer, you can get some ideas about different questions that will help you in the actual exam.
1. Did you have a favourite book when you were a child?
Definitely, like every other kid who has an interest in books, I had a favourite book as well. The name of the book was “The Little Prince”. It was quite famous back then, mainly due to its main characters. I loved this book because of its story, which was about how we can be friends with strangers and have the best time of our lives.
2. How much reading do you do for your work/studies?
For my work, I have to do a lot of reading. I work as a freelance writer for an English-language magazine, and whenever I have to write an article for them, I read around 100 pages from different books and resources. This could be challenging sometimes, but somehow, with patience, I tend to manage it.
3. What kinds of books do you read for pleasure?
Reading books for pleasure is not my cup of tea, as I always read books to gain knowledge. However, once a year, I do read some books for pleasure, especially the ones that have romantic stories.
4. Do you prefer to read a newspaper or a magazine online, or to buy a copy?
Mostly, I like to read them online, as it is more convenient due to the nature of my work and my life routine. It is not possible for me to visit a bookstore to buy them and then read; it would waste a lot of time. Therefore, I prefer reading them online whenever I have some free time.
