IELTS Speaking Part 1: clothes 
1. Are clothes and clothing fashions important to you? (Why/Why not?)
No, clothes and fashions are not really important to me. I tend to wear clothes that are comfortable 
and practical rather than fashionable. 
2. What different clothes do you wear for different situations?
Well, I have to dress quite formally for work, so I wear a shirt and trousers. At home I prefer to wear 
jeans and a T-shirt, and on special occasions I might wear a suit. 
3. Do you wear different styles of clothes now compared to 10 years ago?
No, not really, because I don't follow fashion. I think I have dressed in a similar way for the last 10 
years. 
4. Do you think the clothes we wear say something about who we are?
Yes, they probably do. Some people are really careful about what they wear because they want to be 
seen as stylish. Other people wear clothes that show wealth or status, such as clothes by famous 
designers.

IELTS Speaking Part 1: musical instruments 
For IELTS speaking part 1, remember to give short, simple answers. Answer the question with a full 
sentence and give a reason for your answer. Here are some example questions and answers about 
musical instruments (from Cambridge IELTS book 6): 
1. Which musical instrument do you like listening to most? (Why?)
My favourite musical instrument to listen to is the guitar. I like the fact that there are different types of 
guitar, like classical, acoustic and electric. I love the variety of sounds a guitar can make.
