IELTS Part 3 Sample Answer:
General Questions Related to "Your Favorite Film"
Teacher Joe's questions are in italics , comments are in parenthesis ( ).
How do you think the Internet will
change entertainment in the future?
Just yesterday I saw there's some
advertising on Internet to put some blanks on Mr. Bush to attack his economic
policies which bring American economy...
(Comment: The topic is not just the
Internet, but about "change", "entertainment" and "the
future". It is not acceptable to change the topic to "politics"
in "the present". As for the language, I doubt "advertising"
is the right word here and "blanks" should almost certainly be
"blame". Verbs are all in the simple present. Most likely
"bring" should be either "is bringing" or "has
brought".)
How do you think the Internet will
change ENTERTAINMENT?
It's a kind of entertainment, but it
can affect people's opinions. (1 minute has passed so far)
(Comment: After the question is
repeated, the student must use good English to support the previous statements.
"It's a kind of entertainment" is too simple, level 5 at the highest
but a level 4 student might be able to say a few such sentences too. Instead,
this student should say something better, for example, "I believe that,
for many people, political discussions ARE a kind of entertainment, which will
probably grow more common in the future". This will bring us back to the
topic and show that the student is level 6 or 7, instead of 4 or 5.)
How about in the future?
I think this trend will go on.
(Comment: The student should explain
which trend and give some reasons why it might continue.)
Which trend?
People express their ideas through
some entertainment. But new patterns on Internet.
(Comment: Instead of an incomplete
sentence such as "but new patterns on Internet", which has no verb,
the student should explain in detail. "There are new patterns of
communication thanks to the Internet, for example...")
Can you give me some details on how
it will be done in the future?
Because the Internet is
comparatively... very cheap (2 minutes so far) so people can future some films
some, record some we do, record some new music or to put them on the Internet
for other people to share, can share their information.
(Comment: The student is trying to
give more information, but is quite vague and is making some mistakes that are
hard to understand. "People can future some films some" is not a
normal English sentence. Instead, the student might say, "People in the
future will be able to choose from among many different films".
"Record some we do" also has no meaning, but the speaker corrects the
mistake, which is good!)
Do you think that this will affect
traditional movie theaters?
To some degree because to live to
film is more expensive than if you compared with Internet entertainment. (3
minutes has passed)
(Comment: Already three minutes has
passed. The student has said very little during this time. The possibility of
getting a 6 now is almost gone. What does "to live to film" mean? If
the student provided more specific information, for example by talking about
specific prices, then it might be more clear.)
So what will happen to traditional
movie theaters in the future?
They should make it more accessible
and not maybe from big cities to some smaller cities because especially in
China there aren't many films cinemas in small cities in China but Internet we
can use Internet whenever, wherever we are.
(Comment: This is a better sentence,
a better explanation. Of course, a level 5 student can sometimes do this. To be
a level 6, this student probably needed to do this from the beginning.)
How can movie theaters become more
accessible? (4 minutes so far)
Maybe we don't need large scale
cinemas in small cities, but more small more compact uh pattern.
(Comment: This sentence is very
simple. Another opportunity lost! Why not say, "Maybe we don't need large
scale cinemas in small cities where there are fewer people. Instead, more
compact theaters might be appropriate". This is not such a difficult
sentence. Even if vocabulary such as "compact" and
"appropriate" are changed to "small" and "good",
the student could have shown some advanced ability.)
How do you think you would have
enjoyed living 100 years ago, without the Internet and without television or
radio?
Maybe life is boring but we still
have other styles of more natural entertainment.
Can you give me some examples?
Such as play some game, cards,
personal contact, personal interchanges, personal communications is more uh,
it's more widely used. (5 minutes so far)
(Comment: The student should take
one example at a time. "One example would be playing games such as cards.
These are very popular, yet simple to do over the Internet".)
Let's change the topic a bit. How do
you think television affects society?
I think different people get
different information from television. Some people, especially child, children,
they vulnerable, they are vulnerable to the television information, information
from the television. They can't distinguish what is right, what's wrong, so
they may adapt all what they see.
(Comment: The student is getting
better. If you can make this kind of sentence during the whole test, getting a
6 or 7 is easy. There are many small mistakes in these three sentences, but the
student is communicating successfully.)
So, do you think we should control
television in some way?
Maybe, especially like what we have
done this days before 10 o'clock we have some contraints in the conTENT of the
television but after that more free styles can be show.
(Comment: Intonation can change the
meaning, so be careful! "conTENT" means "happy" while
"CONtent" means what is inside.)
Thank you, that's the end of the
speaking test.
(Comment: The student came up with
only a few good sentences at the end, and with quite a few mistakes. If I only
look at the answers to the final questions, I would guess this student is a 6.
(I cannot give an official score, I can only guess.) However, based on all of
the questions, with such short answers, more likely this student would get a 5
