IELTS Speaking: Describing Family Members

IELTS Speaking Test:

Describing Family Members

Todd: Adrienne, we are talking about your family. Can describe the people in your family? Like, what's your mother like, and your father like and your sister? 

Adrienne: OK, well, let me start with my mother. I'm hoping she doesn't listen to this, though, maybe. My mother is a very interesting. She has a great sense of humor and she's a very kind woman, very generous woman. She's also not afraid to say what she is thinking, which is a quality I admire about her very much. 

Todd: What about your father? How would you describe your dad? 

Adrienne: My dad is probably the nicest man you'll ever meet. He's very kind, very generous, very warm-heart and he's really a good guy and I love him very much. 

Todd: And actually I met your father and he's a very big guy. 

Adrienne: He is. Which means he has a very big heart. 

Todd: Right. 

Adrienne: He is. My dad's very tall and takes up a lot of space. It's true. 

Todd: Gentle-Giant, right? 

Adrienne: Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. 

Todd: OK, now you have a sister. Is she younger or older? 

Adrienne: Younger sister. 

Todd: Oh, younger sister. How would you describe her personality? 

Adrienne: My sister is actually quite similar to my dad in that she has a very good heart and she's very generous and very open, very friendly and giving personality and she is probably the only person on the planet who can make me laugh at any moment. 

Todd: That's nice. 

Adrienne: She cracks me up. So, She's got a great sense of humor, but part of that probably comes from being sisters too. 

Todd: Now you said that your sister is very similar to your father, so you are very similar to your mother? 

Adrienne: Coincidentally, yes, actually. My mother and I have a lot in common in terms of our personality, which means that we get along very well and then sometimes we don't. Cause we remind each other of each other perhaps. 

Todd: So, like what traits do you have in common? 

Adrienne: I would say that we both very often say what we're thinking, which not everybody likes all of the time. 

Todd: I think being outspoken is good. 

Adrienne: It can be. It can be which is why I think it's a good quality but it sometimes can lead to more conflict than you're prepared for. 

Todd: Right. Well, it sounds like you have a nice balance. 

Adrienne: Mm, we do.

marriage

Chris: Hey, Linds.

Lindsay: Hi, Chris. How are you?

Chris: Pretty good. Hey, I heard you're getting married?

Lindsay: I am. I got engaged in July and I'm getting married next September.

Chris: Wow. That's quite a long time between getting engaged and getting married.

Lindsay: It is but in America you usually have an engagement for one year.

Chris: Why is that?

Lindsay: I don't know, but now it's very regular to have a long engagement so if I don't have a long engagement, it seems like it's a rushed wedding.

Chris: So, what do you have to do between now and next September? What do you have to prepare?

Lindsay: Well, I hired the band.

Chris: Already?

Lindsay: Yes. They're a funk band.

Chris: Brilliant.

Lindsay: They play the Beattles and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Chris: Together?

Lindsay: Maybe not together, but I've hired a band and they're great and I've also hired the florist, and I've hired the caterer so we have the food and everything sorted and I have picked the location.

Chris: Well, how long did it take you to decide all that? It seems like you've done a lot of preparation already.

Lindsay: It took me about two months to get everything done. I saw about five different bands and six different florists and I looked at about seven different places.

Todd: OK, Diana we are going to talk about your hobby.

Dianna: OK.

Todd: What is your hobby?

Dianna: I have lots of different hobbies but right now I'm learning to play the guitar.

Todd: Great. How long have you been playing or practicing?

Dianna: I got my guitar two years ago but I've probably spent a total of two weeks practicing.

Todd: Did you bring your guitar to Japan?

Dianna: I didn't. Actually, my brother wants to learn to play also so he's taking good care of my guitar while I'm here, but when I get back I'll jump right back into practicing.

Todd: OK, great. Well, who's a better player?

Dianna: I am for sure, but I told him that if he gets better than me while I'm away that he has to teach me everything he knows.

Todd: Oh, that's only fair. OK. Can you play any songs?

Dianna: Yes, I can play "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" and just the last part of the "Star Spangled Banner". Not the beginning, the beginning's way to hard.
