Describe a business person you admire - part 2 topic

“I love watching the World Cup, which is without doubt the biggest and most exciting international football tournament in the world today. Every four years, it brings the world together in a celebration of the beautiful game. Every time the World Cup rolls around, it's like a huge party!

I especially enjoy the opening match between the host nation and the defending champions. It's always an emotional, high-stakes encounter that sets the tone for the tournament. As the games go on, the intensity builds, and it's so exciting to watch the best teams in the world battle it out for the cup.

When I watch the World Cup, I'm usually with my family. We get together to watch the big games, and it's a great excuse to spend some quality time together. We all love football, so it's a great way to bond over something we all enjoy. Plus, it's always fun to debate and discuss the games afterwards.

I think my favourite thing about the World Cup is the atmosphere. It's a truly global event, and it's so cool to see people from all over the world coming together in one place to enjoy the sport. It's a great feeling of unity, and it really brings out the best in people.

As well as that,the games are always thrilling, the atmosphere is electric, and spending time with my family, and friends while watching is always a blast. 


Thank you.”

“For years now, I've dreamed about taking an adventure in Vietnam, and I feel like I’m finally ready to take the plunge! I would be super excited to explore the lush jungles, cruise the bustling cities, and experience the unique culture of this vibrant country.

I’d definitely want to go on this adventure with my best buddy John, as he’s also really into travel and adventure, as well as always up for anything.

I would really like to get out and experience all that Vietnam has to offer. I would love to be able to climb the incredibly beautiful limestone cliffs of Halong Bay, which I’ve seen on a few different documentaries, and is on the top of my bucket list. 

Another adventurous thing I’d really want to try would be scuba diving in the gorgeous coral reefs, as well as relaxing on some of the stunning beaches. I'm sure I would also be able to enjoy some amazing local food, and maybe even take a few cooking classes. As well as that, I’d also love to learn more about the fascinating history of the country.

I guess I would be a little nervous about the whole trip, but I’d also be very eager to get out there and explore. I'm sure there would be some bumps along the way, but hey, that would be all part of the adventure. I'm always ready to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the unknown.

I'm so looking forward to having an epic adventure in Vietnam one of these days, and I'm sure it would be an incredible experience and I’d have so many wonderful stories to share with everyone back home. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm actually packing my bags and hitting the road!


Thank you.”

IELTS speaking part 2 - an adventure you would like to go on

“As I live in a pretty small town, I haven't had the opportunity to meet many people from different countries or cultures, but I've had the pleasure of getting to know James, an English teacher from the UK. 

James hails from London, and moved here about 2 years ago to work as an English tutor in one of the local high schools. I guess he’s in his mid-twenties, and being one of the few foreigners here, has become a kind of local celebrity. 

The first time I met James was at an English corner, which was held at one of the local coffee shops in town. I saw it advertised, and decided to go along, as I really needed to brush up on my English speaking skills. I remember, I was the first to arrive, and introduced myself to James, and was immediately taken aback when he started to introduce himself in the local dialect! 

We got chatting, and hit it off from the start, getting along like a house on fire. Not only did it turn out that we were both football fanatics, but also shared the same taste in music. 

We have since become the best of mates, and hang out at least once or twice a week. I really love chatting to him, and getting to learn all about English culture, as well as sharing different aspects of my own culture with him. I have great respect for James, as he has really made an effort to immerse himself into the local culture here. On top of that, getting to know him has been a real eye opener, and helped to dispel any negative cultural stereotypes.”
