IELTS SPEAKING PART 1: CAR TRAVEL [ANSWERS]

by Julius Malaza
5 years ago
in recent ielts part 1 sample answers

 

 

PART 1 

 

CAR TRAVEL OR CAR TRIP

 

 

Do you like to travel by car?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Definitely! It’s way more convenient than public transport. I’m more than grateful to have owned a car, especially these days when it’s not completely safe to go to crowded places like stations since the threat (danger ) of contracting (becoming affected ) the coronavirus is serious.  

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Yes, I do because undeniably it provides nothing but convenience. However, I don’t have a car so I’m left with no choice (to make someone feel that they must do something) but to take a bus or train every single day. 

 

 

When do you travel by car?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Well, every day, when I go to work and when I need to go to the supermarket. As I said, I don’t use any modes of public transport, especially these days. Although traveling by car is very convenient, I must say it’s incredibly (extremely ) costly to own a car.   

 

(Answer 2) 

 

When my friends invite me to travel somewhere – that’s the only time that I can travel by car. However,  these days I don’t have any opportunity because my friends and I temporarily delay (hold up; keep back) our travel plans due to the travel restrictions caused by the pandemic.   

 

 

Where is the farthest place you have traveled to by car?  

 

(Answer 1) 

 

Let me think…I guess when my family went to the neighboring island of our city. If my memory serves me right (if I remember correctly), that was four years ago. So we had to take our car on the ferry in order to get to the island and I enjoyed driving around that island because its beauty is just mesmerizing (very attractive ).   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

I suppose when my friends and I traveled to the western part of our state. I don’t know how many miles we had traveled then but we came from the northeast part of our city and it took us almost six hours to reach our destination. That was a great trip but I felt sorry for (to feel sympathy for someone for the unpleasant situation) our driver. 

 

 

Do you like to sit in the front or at the back when traveling by car?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Well, if I’m not the driver, I prefer the back seat because I can rest or sleep. It’s impossible for me to sleep when I sit in the front because I feel like it’s my obligation to have a chat with the driver so he won’t feel drowsy (sleepy ), especially if it’s a long-hour drive.

 

(Answer 2)  

 

It depends, if I’m asked to sit in the front, then I won’t say no. It’s nice to sit in the front, especially if I’m traveling in scenic (picturesque; pleasing ) spots, I’ll be able to enjoy the spectacular (eye-catching; beautiful) view completely since there’s no obstruction (barrier) of my eyes.   

 

Yes, this is how you answer the recent IELTS Speaking Part 1 topic about

RELAX/RELAXATION.

About Me

ieltsDragon-BAND 9.0 Getter!

Julius M.

Author, IELTS Speaking & Writing Coach, Band 9.0 Speaking, First Attempt


Hi students! My name is Julius, and I'm the author of IELTSDragon. I'm a non-native English speaker who scored a Band 9.0 on the IELTS Speaking test on my first attempt.


I hold a degree in Communication Arts from Cebu Normal University, one of the Philippines' prestigious state universities, and I'm a licensed teacher and TESOL-certified. Over the years, I've taught English in a range of settings, including Business English to Japanese professionals at Nikkei while working for a UK-based company.


I built this website so you don't have to waste time and money retaking the exam. Every sample answer here comes from my experience as a Band 9.0 achiever and IELTS Speaking and Writing coach, written to sound conversational and natural, because that natural delivery is what gave me a crisp Band 9.0.


Use this site as part of your prep, and let's get you to your target band score.
