Speaking Part
3

11. There is no set word limit for what could be considered a good IELTS
speaking test part 3 answer, but it should be not to short. If it’s too short
, you will have failed to develop your answer properly. As a rule, to get a
high IELTS speaking score, your answer should be around 5 – 8
sentences long.
If you're worried about speaking that many sentences, you're not alone.
Even native speakers would need to practice with IELTS speaking
questions to provide a high scoring 5-8 sentence answer. However, there
are some IELTS speaking sample templates that'll make it easier. Keep in
mind that the answer structures are only to help you have a clear
picture of what you want to say and to help you stay organized.

12. Structure:
1. Describe the prediction
2. Describe the current trend and say this trend will
probably continue
3. Describe how you feel about this prediction
(Optional)
IELTS Speaking Question:
What do you think cities will be like in 50 years time?
IELTS Speaking Test Sample Answers
Describe the prediction:
I think cities in the future will be more densely
populated. At the same time, people will still
require transportation, so I think the transportation
in future cities will be more modern, fast, and
convenient.
Make a prediction on something in the
future
Describe the current trend and say this trend will
probably continue:
In fact, I think there is a growing trend across the
world of futuristic cities emerging where
transportation is becoming more convenient to meet
the growing demands of population. This trend will
probably continue going forward.
Describe how you feel about this prediction:
I personally like this trend as more futuristic cities will
emerge. A good example of a futuristic city is I think I
will say it is Tokyo, where people have access to
clean transportation, and live in compact spaces, like
high-rises.

13. Structure:
1. State that there are a few differences between
two things
2. Describe the first comparison
3. Describe the second comparison
4. Give a short conclusion (Optional)
IELTS Speaking Question:
What are the differences between living in the city
and the countryside?
IELTS Speaking Test Sample Answers
State that there are a few differences between
two things:
For me, there are quite a few differences between
life in the city and life in the country. Life in the
city and in the country is vastly different.
Compare and contrast two things
Describe the first comparison:
First of all, the way people interact with each
other is different. For example, in a small town,
people usually wave to say hello, and notice
strangers in town. But in a big city, most people
ignore each other and try to give each other
space in public.
Describe the second comparison:
Another big difference between the two is the
amount of noise, which is higher in cities, and
lower in small towns.
Give a short conclusion:
Overall, life in both places varies.

14. Structure:
1. State that there have been changes over the past
decades
2. Describe the first comparison
3. Describe the second comparison
4. Describe how you feel about this change
(Optional)
IELTS Speaking Question:
How has teaching changed in your country over the
past few decades?
IELTS Speaking Test Sample Answers
State that there have been changes over the past
decade:
In the past few decades, there have definitely
been some noticeable changes in education
through generations.
Make a comparison with the past
Describe the first comparison:
I mean ..most notably, students today can no
longer be punished physically by teachers, while
in the past, that was pretty common.
Describe the second comparison:
Another way that education has changed is
teacher student interaction. Today, it’s more
normal to see students answering questions and
having discussions, while in the past, the teacher
simply lectured, and the students listened silently.
Describe how you feel about this change:
Overall, I think education is making progress in
my country.

15. Structure:
1. Answer the question
2. Give examples of how most people do things
3. Give examples of how you do things
IELTS Speaking Question:
How popular is watching television in your country?
IELTS Speaking Test Sample Answers
Answer the IELTS speaking question:
As far as I know, watching TV is probably one of
the most popular pastimes for people in my
country.
Talk about people or things in your country
Give examples of how most people do things:
For example, in the evening, almost every home I
pass has the TV in the living room switched on,
and families will be sitting around together
watching shows. I think most people like watching
the news, or watching dramas.
Give examples of how you do things:
As for me, I also watch quite a bit of TV when I’m
at home. For instance, I watch sitcoms on Friday
nights after work. I guess other people in my
country probably do the same thing as I do.

16. Structure:
1. Briefly talk about the problem
2. Talk about the first solution
3. Talk about the second solution
4. Describe how you feel about the problem and the
solutions (Optional)
IELTS Speaking Question:
How can we stop violence on TV?
IELTS Speaking Test Sample Answers
Briefly talk about the problem:
I think violence on TV is the most problematic for
children, but there isn’t really a simple way to
make it stop, because there is a demand for
action, horror, and excitement on TV.
Provide solutions to a problem
Talk about the first solution:
The way I see it, there are two possible ways to deal
with violent TV shows. The first is to make policies
that actually ban that kind of programming
altogether, although that would likely not be popular.
Talk about the second solution:
The second way could be to educate people on why
violent TV shows are problematic, and see if they
will stop watching the shows to lower the demand
for them.
Describe how you feel about the problem and
the solutions:
I mean either way, I think this problem probably isn’t
going to disappear with just one simple solution.

17. Structure:
1. Briefly talk about the phenomenon
2. Point out the cause or effect
3. Provide an example of the cause or effect
4. Describe how you feel about the phenomenon
(Optional)
IELTS Speaking Question:
What are some of the causes of water pollution?
IELTS Speaking Test Sample Answers
Briefly talk about the phenomenon:
Water pollution definitely has more disastrous
effects on our health
Talk about causes or effects of a
phenomenon
Point out the cause or effect:
From what I understand, water pollution is caused
mostly by human activity, so it seems like the likely
sources of water pollution would be factories, runoff
from farms, and sewage from cities.
Provide an example of the cause or effect:
For instance, I’ve seen a few studies recently that
declared the Australian Great Barrier Reef to be
dead due to man-made pollutants and garbage in
the water.
Describe how you feel about the phenomenon:
I think it’s quite sad, as that probably could have
been prevented if people paid more attention to the
effects big industry has on the environment.

18. Give your opinion on a topic
IELTS Speaking Question: Do you think people spend too much money on electronic devices?
IELTS Speaking Test Sample Answers:
Answer the question:
If you ask me, yes, I think that some people spend too much money trying to keep up with the latest trends in
technology.
Explain the reason:
However, I can understand why they do it, because these days devices become obsolete almost immediately
after they are purchased.
Give examples to support your reasons:
For example, a new smartphone might have some great new camera today, but tomorrow, another one will
appear with an even better camera. Then, everyone will want to upgrade to the new device. As for me, I am
satisfied with using a slightly outdated device in order to save money until I really need a new one.

19. Express your preference
IELTS Speaking Question: Do you generally read a lot of books or do you prefer watching T.V?
IELTS Speaking Test Sample Answers:
Answer the question:
Even though I love to read, the reality is I spend quite a bit more time watching TV.
Explain the reason:
I think the main reason I watch more TV is because it’s lazier, which is unfortunate. But at the same time,
there are some great shows to choose from.
Give examples to support your reasons:
For instance, one of my favorite shows is “Dexter”, which has great writing, an interesting plot, and well-
developed characters, just like a book. I think in the age we live in now, TV is just going to keep getting better
and better, so I am going to probably continue watching more TV.

20. Talk about a hypothetical situation
IELTS Speaking Question: If you could influence or had the power to change the world with your writings what
would you want to change?
IELTS Speaking Test Sample Answers:
Answer the question:
If I could change the world with my writings, my biggest priority would probably be to educate people about how
and why they need to make changes to what they buy, what they eat, and consume to help save the environment.
Explain the reason:
The main reason is that people nowadays are using so much disposable plastic and products. This has led to
many environmental problems. If my writing could change our consumption habits, that would have a drastic effect
on our environmental footprint.
Give examples to support your reasons:
For example, I’ve seen a few studies recently predicting that, by 2050, the mass of plastic in the world’s oceans
will exceed the mass of all the fish that live there. If that happens, the entire food chain will be severely damaged.
