IELTS Speaking Part 1: Films, Jokes and Being Bored

Good morning. Could you tell me your full name, please?

Good morning! My name is Mariana Souza.

Thank you. Let's talk about films.

How often do you watch films?

Quite often, maybe two or three times a week.

My flatmate and I have a movie night every Friday!

Do you prefer watching films at home or at the cinema?

At the cinema, definitely, for big action films.

The huge screen and the sound make everything more exciting!

But for a quiet comedy, the sofa is perfect.

What kind of films did you like as a child?

Cartoons, especially anything with talking animals.

Now let's talk about jokes.

Are you good at telling jokes?

Honestly, no! I always forget the ending.

But my friends laugh anyway, probably at me.

Who is the funniest person you know?

My grandfather. He has a joke for every situation.

Do you ever get bored?

Yes, mostly when I'm waiting for a bus!

Waiting in long queues drives me crazy too.

What do you do when you feel bored?

I usually listen to music or call a friend.

Sometimes I just go for a walk and clear my head.

Is being bored sometimes a good thing?

Yes, I think so. Boredom makes you creative.

Some of my best ideas came from boring afternoons!

Thank you. That's the end of Part One.
