00 ielts speaking Part Topics in 2016, 2017 & Band 0+ Sample Answers

wintry months,
the
 temperature drops
below zero and it 
often snows. Over the last few years we’ve had 
periods of quite heavy 
snowfal
l,
 to the extent
that roads have been blocked and schools have had to 
close. Last winter I remember looking out of the window one morning and seeing 
everything covered in 
a layer of white.
Obviously the snow is what 
differentiates 
winter from the other seasons
, but when it doesn’t snow there isn’t much 
difference between winter, autumn and spring; winter is just a bit colder. 
The reason I’ve chosen winter as my favourite season is because I like the snow. 
I live near the countryside, and the landscape looks beautiful when everything is 
covered in white. We also celebrate Christmas and New Year in the winter, and 
these are my favourite festivals.
 
Describe a person who you like to spend time with.
You should say: 
what relationship the two of you have 
how often you are together

what you usually do together 
and explain why you like to spend time with this person. 
Model Answer
I spend a lot of time with my best friend John. I’ve known him since primary school 
where we were in the same class. 
We only see each other during our university holidays because we don’t study in 
the same city. My university is in London but he lives in Liverpool. 
When we are together we always play lots of sports like football and tennis. John 
loves Manchester United and he is a very good footballer. I prefer tennis but I am 
not as good as my friend. We also both enjoy playing computer games. Our 
favourite is probably World of Warcraft which many of my friends play too. 
As we live in a small town there aren’t many places to go so we normally hang out 
at the sports centre or in the big park near my house.
We’re both big film buffs so 
we go to the cinema quite often and we get a student discount. 
I really like spending time with John, he’s such a nice person and very friendly. I 
always have a good time when we are together and he never fails to make me 
laugh. In fact, I think he’s the funniest person I know.
