​

What type of photos do you like taking? [Why?] 
​
Well, I love taking landscape photographs with my phone as well as pictures of food. Most of the time, though, I take pictures of myself, and then I keep the ones I like the most. 

  • a landscape photo - When you take a picture of nature, the environment, river, trees, etc. 
  • most of the time – very often or almost always 


Do you prefer taking photographs of people or of places? 

I mostly take photos of my family and friends, so those moments will remain in my memory, and will remind me of the people I love the most. 

  • remind someone of something 


How do you store your photographs? 

I always transfer photos from my phone to my computer and store them in folders. That’s the easiest way for me to find them later. 

  • transfer something (from something) to something 


When you visit other places, do you take photos or buy postcards? [Why?] 

Well, I usually do both. I love taking photographs with my phone, but I also enjoy buying postcards to show the places I've visited when I go back to my country. Postcards are definitely one of the things I collect every time I go on a trip. 

  • collect (formal) - to buy or find things of a particular type and keep them as a hobby 
  • go on a trip (collocation)

Get access to 97+ Part 2 topics given between January and December 2019. Click here. 

In this lesson, you will read five recent Part 1 questions about perfume and sample answers to talk about this topic. You will also learn useful vocabulary to help you answer these questions. 
​
This topic a very common Part 1 topic that has been given repeatedly since May 2019.
​There are answers to other questions included in the
IELTS Speaking Exam Preparation Course. 


​
Do you like perfumes? 
​
Yes, I do. I’m definitely a perfume junkie. I have different fragrances for different occasions. I also have favourite scents for each and every season. 

In general, I love buying perfumes and having a collection of different day and night scents. The only thing I don’t like is that most perfumes don’t last very long and I need to reapply them. 

  • a perfume junkie (informal) 
  • junkie – someone who likes something so much that they seem to be dependent on it – used humorously (e.g. a TV / sports, etc. junkie) 
  • a collection of – a set of similar things 
  • scent – a pleasant smell that something has | SYN: fragrance 
  • reapply – to put a substance on again 


What kind of perfumes do you like? 

My go-to scents are usually floral and I don’t tend to go towards the fruit side because I don’t want to smell like a fruit basket. I normally want to smell more flowery like walking through a field of flowers, but in a good way. ​

  • flowery – a flowery smell or taste is strong and sweet, like flowers 
  • floral – made of flowers 


Do you usually wear perfume? [Why? / Why not?] 

Yes, I do. I normally wear light fragrances, which are eau de toilettes. I always have a mini perfume bottle in my handbag to reapply it when the scent fades away. ​

  • a perfume bottle (collocation) 
  • a bottle of perfume (phrase) 
  • eau de toilette /ˌəʊ də twɑːˈlet/ – a liquid containing a small amount of perfume 
  • fade away (phrasal verb) – to gradually disappear 


What is your favourite perfume? 

To be honest, I don’t have a signature perfume. I prefer to switch it up depending on my mood and occasion. 

  • a signature scent | a signature perfume - A signature scent is a fragrance you always wear and you wear it so much that it comes to represent you. 


How do you choose the right perfume for you? 

I normally spray fragrances on tester sticks and take a whiff to get a better impression of each scent. It’s much easier to keep track of my choices instead of trying to remember which fragrance I sprayed on which body part. I tend to narrow down the scents I like the most and do a skin test before making a choice. 
​
  • get an impression | a good impression (collocations) 
  • narrow something ↔ down (phrasal verb) – to reduce the number of things 
  • make a choice (collocation) – choose something 



IELTS Speaking Part 2: 
Describe a city you have visited 
Describe a website you like to visit a lot 
Describe a friend you have known for a long time 
Describe an area of your country that is well known for its natural beauty
