IELTS SPEAKING PART 1: VIEWS [ANSWERS]

Do you like taking pictures of different views? Yes, I do. I love taking photos of landscapes, beaches, and mountains. Taking such photos helps me relieve stress, and those photos always remind me that the world is still beautiful despite personal and societal problems. Last month, I took a lot of pictures of Mount Fuji when I traveled to Japan.

PART 1

 

VIEWS

 

ANSWERS

 

 

Do you like taking pictures of different views?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Yes, I do. I love taking photos of landscapes, beaches, and mountains. Taking such photos helps me relieve stress, and those photos always remind me that the world is still beautiful despite personal and societal problems. Last month, I took a lot of pictures of Mount Fuji when I traveled to Japan.   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Yes, I’m a big fan of (someone who has a strong liking for something) taking pictures of nature more than people and buildings because those views of mountains, beaches, lakes, and the like (and similar things) are inexplicably (in a way that cannot be explained) beautiful. They give me peace of mind, and all those photos that I took are kept in my photo album.     

 

 

Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Wow, you put me in a difficult situation, as both places offer unique views. I like urban areas because of how modern they are, and I like rural areas because they’re calm and peaceful. All my school days were spent in rural areas, and now, as a worker living in the metropolis (capital city), I enjoy the city views, which are in contrast to the place where I was born and raised.   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Well, I appreciate the views in the countryside, but since I have lived in the city all my life, I prefer the views in the city. I’m used to skyscrapers (very tall buildings), the chaos, the overcrowded streets, and the noise that cities have. These things have been a huge part of my everyday life, and I just love them.     

 

 

Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Because I love my country, I prefer the views that our country offers. We have amazing flora and fauna (all plant life and animal life), historic buildings with distinct architecture, bodies of water, and mountains. And I’m glad that our government is doing its best to protect these things.   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

That’s impossible! I mean, I can’t choose between the two because my country has great views that I love, and I’ve been to different countries, and those countries have unique or spectacular views, as well. For me, it’s like comparing apples with oranges (two things are completely different, and it’s not sensible to compare them).  

 

 

Have you seen an unforgettable and beautiful view or scenery?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Yes, of course, I’ve seen a lot! But the one that stands out (to be much better than other similar things) the most for me is the national park on the island of Tasmania during the autumn season. It was magical when the maple leaves fell while I was walking. Those beautiful orange and red colored leaves falling made the moment unforgettable.   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Yes, and who hasn’t? I think all of us are lucky enough to see the beauty of our planet. I’ve seen pristine (unspoiled) beaches, calm forests, towering (extremely tall) mountains, and so many more. Seeing such beautiful views made me realize how amazing it is to be alive.

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.
