EP. 19 IELTS Speaking Test | BAND 5.5 | Must Watch | IELTS BAND 9

Now I'd like to ask you some general questions. Let's talk about where you live. Do you live in a city or in the country? Actually I live in Saudi Arabia in a city called Al-Hobar and that's across from Bahrain and it's island. What do you like most about your city? The things I like about my city the most is that you can see too many monuments such as ancient ruins and also you can relax on the beaches and yeah there is there is beautiful parts and people are friendly. Is your city a popular place with tourists? Yes it is there is many tourism come to my city especially for work because there is big companies and they are new malls which is opened so yeah people does come. Has your hometown changed much over the years? Yes I think it has it has changed it's growing with building and more people come in and it's preserved some history which I really like about that. It is just busier with business people that is the big change I think. Let's talk about the internet. How often do you use the internet? Many many times. I do use it a lot and to do research and to make some paper works and reports to listen to the music watch programs so I do use it quite a lot. Do you think life would be like without the internet? I think it would be tough because everybody used the internet for everything. It doesn't matter what is related to but I think we will if there is not internet we will miss the communication. Now I'm going to give you a topic and I would like you to talk about it for one to two minutes. You will have one minute to prepare and you can write some notes if you want. Do you understand? Yes I do. Okay here is your card. There's some paper to take some notes. I would like you to describe a situation when someone you didn't know helped you. Can you start speaking now please? Yeah so this is the situation where someone helped us. We went, that was about two months ago. We went to Thailand, me and my husband and so we started from Bangkok. We visited some temples, street markets. We had some lovely food. It was spicy, very spicy. Then we went for, we spent four days. Then we took, then we decided to go to a bouquet and it took us 12 hours. We were on the road for 12 hours on the bus so we reached the two bouquet and we went to the hotel and we did book but they said at the desk they said that the hotel is fully booked. Although we had the reservation but still they said it's fully booked. But the person on the desk, he helped us and he said that he can help us get in another room in a different hotel. So he did and he always drove us to the hotel in his car and the hotel was really nice, fancy rooms and it was the view on the mountains and then we ended up having fun. It was fun trip and we managed to forget what's happened before. Thank you. Would you go back to Thailand? Yes, some days but there are many other places to visit first. How can schools teach children to help brothers in society? I think school can teach children how to help other people in other places and like when people, poor people or when they are in trouble and I don't know but perhaps helping with little money or giving some food in it. You're saying that people volunteer to help today because the communities that existed in the past don't exist today? Exactly. Cities are big now and people are more busy. So we don't know our neighbours no longer but the feelings are still the same and people want to help each other. Why? Because I think it's natural to help people to have other people and people that have done it before and in the past and I'm sure people they will do it in the future as well. And in the future? Will volunteering stay the same? No, I think it will probably get bigger because people have more time and technology in their job and they are living longer so people will have definitely more time to help. You mentioned collecting money and giving food at Eid. Are there things that young people can do to help their peers? Pears. Are there things that young people can do to help probably young people? Yes, like for example I don't know the word in English but like partner so at school children can help each other like if someone is not good at maths. They helped a partner who was bad in maths. For example at my school I was good in history so I had two partners. Thank you. Thank you. [Music]
