IELTS SPEAKING PART1 - Arts & Entertainment

Arts
1.    Do you like art? (Why?/Why not?)
I’m afraid not…because I could hardly appreciate it. This might be due to the lack of education in the art area in china, where all student are awfully busy in preparing for the national college entrance exam.
2.    What form of art do you like the most?
I suppose it would be film, because it is much easier to understand, and less abstract compared to a piece of painting.
3.    What kind of art are you best at?
Well, I’m anything but an artist, so I’m afraid I am not skilled at any form of art.
4.    In your childhood, what experience of art did you have?
5.    Did you ever produce any artwork (or, works of art) when you were a child?
Well, I studied sketch for 2 years, but I abandoned that after I enter my senior high school, so I can hardly draw as good as I could.
6.    Do you ever buy (or, have you ever bought) a painting?
Never did I buy any paintings due the exorbitant high price. And even I purchased them I cannot appreciate them.
7.    Do you think art is an important part of life?
Yes, but for me I suppose it would be better to tackle more practical problems, like achieving a good mark in my studies and find a decent job in the future, after which maybe I will cultivate my sense of art.
8.    What benefits does art bring to people?
It may extricate people from their daily routines and provide us with another view of life.
9.    How important do you think art is in the lives of people?
Well, as for artists, this would be their job in order to put food on the table, but as for ordinary people who are still struggling to achieve a decent lifestyle, then I suppose it would be less significant than other daily routines like working or investing.
10.  Why do you think people like to have a painting in their homes?
Maybe it may create a convivial atmosphere at home, which makes the owner feel content.

Entertainment
1.    What do you do for entertainment?
Usually I would play computer games for leisure when I am free.
2.    What did you do for entertainment when you were a child?
At that time I usually play with my neighbourhood outside, due to the less developed technology, otherwise we would play computer games together.
3.    What do (other) people do for entertainment around where you live?
Well, actually the relationship between neighbours in china is less intimate than it was before, so I hardly know what they do everyday. Thus I also have no idea what their preference for entertainment.
4.    What choices for entertainment are there for young people around where you live?
Well, by and large young people’s preference for leisure would probably the same in today’s world because of the highly developed technology. They tend to be favour of computer games.
5.    Are there any entertainment places near your school (or university)?
Well, in my bachelor degree in china, there are some internet cafes around my university. But I hardly went there.
6.    Have you recently been to any place for entertainment?
Well, I’m afraid not, because the subjects in third semester are quite hard for most students so I’d prefer to focus on my courses.
7.    Do you think modern lifestyles give people enough time for leisure?

In china, I’m afraid not, because the intolerable pressure placed on people dictates people to work hard in order to have a relatively decent lifestyle.
