IELTS Speaking Part 1: Food, Shopping and the Weather

Good afternoon. Please come in and sit down.

Good afternoon! Thanks.

My name is David Hughes. Can you tell me your full name?

Sure, it's Camila Souza.

Thank you. First, I'd like to ask you about yourself.

Let's start with food. What kind of food do you like?

Oh, I love almost everything!

But my favourite is my grandmother's black bean stew.

Do you often cook at home?

Um, not really, to be honest...

Ha, last week I burnt the rice again,

so now my flatmate does most of the cooking.

Has the way people eat in your country changed?

Hmm, yes, I think it has.

People order food on their phones much more now.

It's quick, but I miss big family lunches.

Let's move on to shopping. Do you enjoy shopping?

Ha, it depends on what I'm buying!

I love clothes shopping, but supermarkets are so boring!

Do you prefer shopping online or in shops?

Usually online, because it saves a lot of time.

But once I ordered a jacket, and it was tiny!

When did you last buy something special?

Oh, last month! I bought a camera for my trip.

I'd saved for almost a year, so I was really proud.

Now, let's talk about the weather.

What's the weather like in your hometown?

It's hot and sunny for most of the year.

Honestly, the summer can be too hot for me!

Does the weather affect your mood?

Oh, yes. On grey days, I feel a bit down.

If you could live anywhere, what weather would you choose?

Hmm... somewhere cool, like Scotland, maybe?

I'd love to wear a big coat for once!

Thank you. That's the end of part one.

Oh, that was quick! Thank you.
