IELTS SPEAKING - SAMPLE 1 - CLOTHES

Clothes and Fashion: Sample questions and answers for IELTS


speaking exam

Part 1
1. What type of clothes do you like to wear?

– Well, I prefer casual clothes – simple and comfortable. A pair of jeans and a
shirt would be perfect. I am not really the fashionable type. But of course, I
also dress up for special occasions.

2. What kind of clothes do people in your country usually wear?


-Climate affects people’s clothing. I live in the tropics, so people in my country
usually wear clothes with light fabrics. We also wear light-colored clothes.
For casual attire, a pair of jeans or short pants and a shirt for men
or blouse for women are common.

3. How important is fashion to you?


-I am not much worried about it actually. I prefer wearing simple
yet presentable clothes.

4. What kind of clothes do you dislike?

-Well, I dislike wearing untidy and eccentric clothes. Example would


be tearing or ripped jeans. I also avoid clothes with flashy colors or those that
are too stunning.

5. Do you think people behave differently in different kinds of clothes?

-Yes, I think people behave differently when they wear different clothes. For
example, one who wears formal clothes may portray an image of being
professional and confident. Wearing casual clothes, on the other hand, makes
us look comfortable and relaxed.

5. What kind of clothes do people wear to work in your country?


- Attire/ outfit

- Those who work in the corporate wear either smart
casual or business/formal attire on a regular work day. Some employees
such as teachers have uniforms. Other workers are allowed to wear casual
clothes to works.

Part 2
Describe someone you know who dresses well. You should say
 who they are
 how you know them
 what kind of clothes they wear
 and say why you like the way they dress

Let me talk about a friend who dresses very well. Her name is Tina. We are
of the same age and she is currently a professor in a prestigious university in my
country. Although she is not in the fashion industry, she dresses fashionably. She
is tall, not very slim and is very attractive.

She has been my friend since high school. I get to see her from time to
time as she also lives in my neighborhood. We also spend time together with
friends especially on weekends.

Actually, she doesn’t have a specific dressing preference or style. I think she
bases her attire on the weather as well as on occasions and events, I
usually see her wearing light colored dresses and high-heeled shoes when she
goes to work. She also wears formal clothes. She is fond of accessories which
looks fashionable.

Her footwear always matches her dress. I think she has a huge collection of
clothes, shoes and bags as I rarely see her wearing the same set after some
time. I see her wear casual clothes too but they don’t look plain or boring on her.

I think she can carry herself very well in any kind of dress. She looks
comfortable no matter what her attire is. She always looks clean and tidy. I like
her style because she doesn’t dress extravagant or offensive. She always looks
professional and presentable.

Part 3

1. How important are clothes and fashion to you? [Why/Why not?]?

Clothes and fashion are not that important to me. I always prefer comfortable
clothes but making sure that I’d look presentable and clean. I am more of
being practical in choosing what I wear.

2. How different are the clothes you wear now from those you wore 10
years ago?

Well, I can say that there hasn’t been much change with the clothes I wear now
with that of about 10 years ago. I still wear the regular jeans and shirt for casual
days or formal clothes on business events. But, I think since the trend has
changed, the kind of these basic clothing has also changed for me, especially
when it comes to the style of the jeans and shirts. I used to wear straight-cut
jeans but nowadays, I wear contemporary style such as slim-fit clothes.

3. What do you think the clothes we wear say about us?

At times, I think the clothes we wear may show part of our personality or status.
For example, clothing may determine the kind of job a person has. For some, it
may be a tool for expression. Some could be stylish and fashionable which may
reflect their personality as being creative.
