Food is an everyday part of our lives which is why it often comes up as a topic in the IELTS
speaking exam. To prepare for such questions you should practice words and phrases related
to food. Below we’ve answered the questions for you with lots of great examples of ielts food
vocabulary.

We’ve included some common collocations (highlighted) such as to eat a balanced diet, a

slap up meal, and to eat like a horse and explained them in the lexicon at the base of the
page. The more you can include in your ielts speaking exam (in a natural way, of course), the
more fluent you will sound.

Examples of IELTS speaking part 1 questions

Examiner: What food do you like to eat?

Answer: I am not  a fussy eater. As long as you don’t feed me rabbit food I’m easy to please.
I love Chinese cuisine and traditional Italian food and I can eat like a horse! My flatmate
and I share the cooking chores. Once a week we make a slap-up meal of steak and
chips covered in a rich sauce and to satisfy the sweet tooth we finish off with a decadent
chocolate pudding.

Examiner: So, do you enjoy cooking?

Answer: I prefer eating to cooking. I make good use of ready meals and I am not averse
to junk food or the occasional pub lunch. I realize though that it is necessary to
include nutritious food as part of a balanced diet, especially organic food when it’s
available rather than processed food, which is why I cook several times a week and always
try to eat dinner at a reasonable time.

Examiner: What’s your favourite meal of the day?

Answer h:  I’m a breakfast fan. It’s the most important meal of the day, after all! I wake
up  starving hungry after a good night’s sleep. I like nothing better than a good English
breakfast  of bacon, eggs, and buttery toast, along with a piping ot cup of coffee.

IELTS speaking part 2 cue card

Examiner: Tell me about your favourite restaurant

In this question, you should discuss

 the restaurant that you like best,

 why you like it,

 and the occasions when you go there.

 JUNIOR IELTS 0931336694 Ms.Thuận Anh

Answer: I enjoy  fine dining  and exotic food. Both are available at my favourite restaurant
in the centre of town. On special occasions I take my partner wining and dining. We love the
ambience of the candle-lit dinners, and the extensive menu of mouth-watering meals.

The menu includes starters, mains and deserts. Usually by the time we get there I am dying
of hunger  so we order a starter to calm the hunger pangs. We usually also share a bottle of
bubbly. It is after all a celebration. Having finished our starter we take our time, savouring
the food.

This is not the type of restaurant where you would ask for a doggy bag, so we waste nothing.
We end the evening with a delicious dessert. I do have a sweet tooth, and all the food cooked
there is incredible. After finishing the flan and settling the bill, we head off home, satisfied
that we have enjoyed a scrumptious meal.

IELTS speaking part 3 questions

Examiner: Do you believe that the 21st Century diet is a healthy one?

Answer: Far too many people are overweight and need to eat a balanced diet with proper
meals instead of a quick snack multiple times a day. I believe that people should cut down
on  the sugars and  refined carbohydrates in processed food and replace them with leafy
vegetables and seasonal fruits. A balanced diet with more food cooked at home would help
them to regulate their weight. If we avoid eating processed food and eat organic food
wherever possible, everyone’s health can improve.

Examiner: Starvation is a problem in many parts of the world. What do you think
should be done about it?

Answer: From what I’ve read current global food production  can cover the daily
consumption  needs of the world. We need to find a way to economically transport it to where
it is most needed or find alternate food sources. Nobody should starve when there is
no  shortage of food. It must be possible for everyone to eat a balanced diet – nobody should
be dying of hunger in the 21st Century.

Examiner: In homes where both parents work do you think cooking has become just
another job at the end of the day?

Answer: I know that  food preparation can be time-consuming and more challenging if a

child is a fussy eater, but if everyone helps with ideas and recipes and everyone takes a turn
and lends a hand, cooking can be fun for the family. Even little children can help prepare a
quick snack of fruit or healthy veggies with a dip. Home cooked meals rather than
commercially prepared food bought from supermarkets are also often healthier and packed
with vitamins. Hopefully, the children will grow up able to prepare a light and quick meal
for themselves most evenings rather than just heading for the nearest fast food restaurant.
