Ielts speaking part 2:

Describe a time when you were asked to give your opinion in a questionnaire.

Advice: Say that your were given a questionnaire at the end of one of your school or university courses. Say that the questions asked for your opinions about the teaching, materials, facilities, level of difficult, how much you enjoyed the course etc.

Ielts speaking part 3:

What kinds of organisation regularly conduct questionnaires?

All kinds of organisations and companies use questionnaires to find out what people think about them. For example, university lecturers often ask their students to answer questions about their courses. Someone from a Starbucks cafe stopped me in the street yesterday to ask me about my coffee drinking habits.

Do you think schools should ask children for their opinions about lessons?

On the one hand, it might be useful for teachers to get feedback from children about how much they learnt and how enjoyable they found the lessons. However, children don't necessarily know what's best for them, and it might do more harm than good to allow them to give opinions about their teachers.

1. How often do you watch television?

I watch TV on daily base, because I am interested in watching sports and the worth-wealth channel is Sky Sports.

2. How have television programmes changed since you were a child?

TV programmes have been changed substantially in terms of contents, organisation and coverage. Take for example the contents which have become more attractive and relevant than they used to be. The Documentary programme about wild life preservation prepared using advanced technology illustrates how creatures in sanctuaries breed , eat and fight .

3. Describe a television programme that you enjoyed.

Hard talk was a programme that once fascinated me. It was a programme in BBC which intertwined Yasser Arafat, the leader of Palestinians. The narrator had high skills and experience in interviewing of VI people. The interesting point in this programme was pin downing of the interviewee. The host asked his clients critical questions about hot topics . Many times the clients trapped by the host deliberately and accept the truth.

4. Which tv channel or channels do you prefer to watch? Why

I like the Star Plus. This channel is broadcasted from the USA. The reason I like this channel is easy to access and is an all rounder. New films are quite often broadcasted by this channel.

Do you think governments should control what TV programmes show?

I do not think so, because it is illogical and even impossible to control TV programmes . people have access to watching thousands of TV channels through their satellite receivers . It is also irrational because no one has the right to limit others’ freedom.

Ielts Speaking Part 2: describe a building

Describe a modern building. You should say:

where it is

what it is used for

and why you like/dislike it.

I'm going to describe a modern building in Manchester. It's called the Beetham Tower, and it's the tallest building in the city, with about 50 floors.

Although it's called the Beetham Tower, most people know this building as the Hilton Hotel. In fact, the bottom half of the tower is the hotel and the top half is apartments. The apartments are expensive because the location

and views make them very desirable.

I'm not sure if I like the design of the building, it's just a huge glass tower, but it definitely stands out. It has become a famous landmark in the city. You can see it as you approach Manchester, and it's an easy place to meet people because it's so distinctive and easy to find. The most interesting thing about the Beetham Tower is that there is a bar/restaurant on the 23rd floor which has spectacular views of the city; it's definitely the best vantage point in Manchester because there are no walls, only huge windows, so you can look out over the city in any direction. I'd recommend anyone who visits Manchester to go there and experience the view.
