SET口說講稿分享 by Martina- Part 1 "communication"

IELTS Speaking Part
1: 'communication" topic; sample answers by Martin

 

1. How
do you usually keep in touch with members of your
family?

 

1-a) Since I live
with my whole family, we see and talk to each other face to face practically
every day. But if I'm away from home, I would use e-mail or Skype to stay in
touch with them.

1-b) I actually stay
in touch with my family by e-mail or phone. If it's an important or urgent
issue, I would just call them, but if it is just to say HI, a quick e-mail will
do.

 

2. Do
you prefer to speak to people by phone or by writing
emails?

 

2-a) It really depends on the
situation. If I want to file a complaint or address an issue in a formal way,
I'd rather use e-mail so that I can have a record of what I've said; but if it
is to simply make an inquiry on a product or service, a quick phone call will
do.  

2-b) I prefer
writing e-mails when communicating with people. I think e-mails give the
recipients more time to think before replying and we all can keep a record if it
is an important issue.

 

3. Do
you ever write letters by hand? (Why / Why
not?)

 

3-a) No, in fact, I
haven't hand written a letter for years! I think most people nowadays prefer to
type e-mails because it is much faster and convenient.

3-b) Yes, believe it
or not, I still enjoy writing letters or postcards by hand. Although it takes
more time, I think handwritten messages are much more meaningful than
e-mails.

 

4. Is
there anything you dislike about mobile
phones?

 

4-a) Well, according
to research, the excessive use of cell phones could pose a health hazard, so
that's something that I'm not very comfortable with.

4-b) To be honest, I
think cell phones or smartphones are great communicating devices and I really
don't see anything I dislike about them.
