Ielts jeremy Chiron Ideas and Examples for ielts speaking

1. What do you think are important turning points in people's lives?
Well, there are many different key stages in our lives. The first one is high school, because in my
country, high schools are ranked, so if you go to a good high school, you will have more chance to
get into a prestigious university. Going to college is a major change too, because it is a new
experience, with new classmates, new teachers, and new teaching methods. In addition, many young
people attend college far away from their homes. They learn a lot at university, not only about
academics, but also about themselves and life in general. Later on, getting a first job is also a
significant stepping-stone in one's career. On top of this, a turning point could also be when someone
starts dating, and eventually gets married and has a kid. Having a child will definitely change your
life!

2. What could you do when you were younger that you cannot do now?
I guess that when I was younger, I had a lot more time than I do now to play and hangout with
friends. I remember when I was in primary school, I didn't have that much (= so much) homework.
I did not need to worry about anything. In addition, when I was younger, I could avoid
responsibilities. When something was difficult, I simply asked my mother for help. Nowadays, I am
on my own, and I must face challenges independently. I should also tell you that when I was a child,
I used to be very flexible. I could bend over and touch my feet. Nowadays, I am a bit stiff, and I
don't exercise so much anymore.
3. What changes in people's lives increase their happiness?
Well, many changes in one's life can make a person truly happy. Getting accepted to atop-notch (=
excellent) university is one, because it rewards students for their hard work. For me, if I do well in
the IELTS test, and later on get my visa to study in America, I will be thrilled! In addition, finding
a job and eventually getting promoted to a better position will definitely please people too. On top
of this, I believe that finding love and getting married makes many people quite happy. I have heard
many women say that the day when they gave birth to their child was also the happiest day of their
lives.
