Microsoft Word ielts speaking Actual Tests (Sep Dec 2019) and Suggested Answers Version

25.3. Do you like to walk on your own or with friends?
To be honest, I kind of prefer to walk alone. For one, I’m kind of a slow walker, so I don’t like it when other people pressure (pressure somebody to do something to persuade somebody to do something) me to stay at their pace (speed). By the same token, I enjoy the self-reflection time I have when I walk.
25.4. Would you say your city is a good place for walking?
Not really. For one, it’s extremely hot and humid, so that makes it difficult to walk. Furthermore, almost everyone owns a car, so walking isn’t very common.
However, there are sidewalks and beach promenades (a path for walking on), so walking is a possibility.
Do you spend enough time walking?
A fair amount, but I would like to do more. I walk at every opportunity I have, but I would like to integrate it into my daily routine more. For example, maybe I can map out (plan) a way to walk to a public transportation stop to get to work instead of simply jumping in (getting in) my car. Do you walk more often now than (you did) in the past?
Yes, I do. As I’ve gotten heavier with age, I’ve started to make changes in my lifestyle, which includes more walking. I notice now that I walk more, I feel more limber (able to stretch).
Do you think people will be walking more in the future?
I doubt it. I imagine that as technology continues to advance, less and less people will want to rely on their own two feet. You can even see instances (examples) of this now, as renting bikes and scooters is now the norm (the usual) on every corner.
