'Shoes' topic:

IELTS Speaking Part 1: strange topics, easy answers 
Don't worry if the questions in part 1 of the speaking test seem strange. Just give a direct answer and 
a reason as usual. For example: 
'Robots' topic:
1. What do you think of robots?
I think robots are a clever idea. I'd love to have a robot that could speak to me and do things for me! 
2. Did you watch any cartoons related to robots in your childhood?
I can't remember watching cartoons with robots, but I remember that I liked the robots in films like 
Star Wars.
