Ad: Welcome to the speaking portion of the IELTS exam. My

name is Adrin, I will be examiner for this part of the test and I
will record it for marking purposes. May I see your
identification please.

Arv: Of course, here you go.

Ad: Thank you, and what is your full name.

Arv: My first name is Arv, and my family name is Singh. Please call me
Arv.

Ad: Okay Arv, here is your passport back. The specking has three parts, I
will give you instruction for each, for part 1 I will ask you a couple of
questions to get know you better and some question on a general topic. Do
you work or study?

Arv: I’m currently working as an electric engineer for General Electric,

and also I’m studying for IELTS to continue my master in engineering at
Toronto University next year.

Ad: What do you at the weekends?

Arv: Well, when I’m not studying, I like taking my wife out to a
restaurant and watch a movie, like last Saturday when we watched a funny
movie.

Ad: let’s talk about transportation. Do you know how to drive a car?

Arv: yes I do. I have had my driver’s license since 18. I really enjoy driving.
Mostly, I use my car to get to work, shopping and vacations.
Ad: how often do you ride a bus?

Arv: since I have had my driver’s license I rarely take a bus. I mostly use it
when my car is unavailable due to repair or I have lent it out to a friend.

Ad: which your favorite type of transportation?

Arv: definitely my car, it’s comfortable and convenient, as well as it has air
conditioning, and I can listen to my music on the stereo.

Ad: where can you catch the nearest train in your area?

Arv: hmm, I’ll have to think over it, just give me a moment please. I think the
closest would be Jodphur, which is roughly 10 kilometers away from my flat.

Ad: how has public transportation changed in the past hundred years?

Arv: oh, that has changed immensely. With the advent of greater airplanes, modern
trains and buses people can travel greater distances comfortably and quickly. Like
last year, I just flew to United States and I was there in 12 hours.

Ad: when you ride a bicycle, what should you do to stay safe?

Arv: whenever I’m riding a bicycle, I should wear a hamlet to keep my head safe
and also be very careful of the vehicle traffic.

Ad: that is the end of part 1. Now we will continue with part 2. For part 2, here is a
card with some questions, please do not turn it over yet. Here’s a pencil to take
notes. And here is some notepaper. You will have one minute to think about you’re
