IELTS SPEAKING PART 1 SAMPLE TOPIC FOOD

Question 1: Let’s talk about food? What’s your favorite food?

Answer: Well, I would say that I’m not a picky eater and I can eat like the whole universe. But if i have to choose, I would definitely go for Vietnamese traditional cuisine because although it does not win any points for complexity, it is all about the combination of fresh ingredients, intense flavours, and ease of cooking and preparation, so it wins my heart.

Question 2: Are there any food you dislike?

Answer: Well of course, there is this one particular kind of food which I don’t like, the one that stinks. I can’t eat things that are too smelly, for example, durian, shrimp paste, stinky tofu. I just cannot stand the smells of them

Question 3. What are some traditional food in your country?

Answer: Obviously, there’s a mixed variety of food in my country. But I guess the most popular one would probably be pho, since Vietnam is world-famous for it. It’s tasty, cheap and available at all hours. In some places, it costs you like 20.000dong for a steaming hot bowl of Pho. And also, you might find some other things like bun cha, bun bo hue, banh xeo, etc,. they are all very delicious.

Question 4: Do you have a healthy diet?

Answer: Actually, I don’t. But I try to eat clean and eat green everyday because highly-processed foods or low-quality foods are linked to obesity and an increased risk of heart disease, and in some cases, cancer. So it’s vital for me and for everyone to stay healthy by eating clean in order to not only manage your weight but also help you build a stronger immune system and increase your energy levels.

5. Who does the cooking in your family? Why?

My mother does all the cooking at my home. I guess I am blessed for having such a talented mother, who happens to be a retired cook. I have always had some sort of a fitness plan, but my mother’s home-cooked meals somehow have stood in the way, so I suppose I just have to live with that.

6. Did you learn how to cook when you were younger?

No, actually I didn’t learn how to cook when I was a child. I grew up with working parents, and they were always up to their ears, so cooking, let alone teaching me how to cook, was nearly impossible for them. When I was small, my meals usually rotated around fast food, frozen food and takeaways.

7. Do you think Vietnamese people’s diet is healthy?

Yes, a lot of Vietnamese people pay attention to the food we eat, and many of us like eating soup or vegetables. I think that’s pretty healthy. But I have to admit that nowadays because of the fast pace of life, many people have to choose junk food for lunch, which is usually not healthy.

8. Do you like tasting new food?

Yes, whenever I travel to a new place, I always try my best to find the famous local food to have a taste. Most of the dishes are incredible, except for some spicy Thai tom yum paste I tried when I was in Bangkok last summer. Let just say that it is the type of food that can haunt me for life.

Từ vựng hay:

Bless(v): phù hộ – be blessed to: may mắn có được điều gì

Fitness plan: kế hoạch tập thể thao

Rotate around: quay xung quanh

The fast pace of life: nhịp độ nhanh của cuộc sống

1. Have you ever tried foreign food?

As a foodie, of course I have tasted different kinds of food, and imported beverages are no exception. My top two favorites are Italian pizza and Taiwanese bubble milk tea, which are considered the most popular among Vietnamese youngsters.

2. Do you like to try new food?

I’m all about experiencing new things, but new foods are off limit. I mean, there are a number of foods that can literally haunt me for life. For example, Mam Tom, which is a type of stinky and pungent shrimp paste used in many Vietnamese dishes, is a kind of food that really puts me off.

3. What kinds of new foods have you tried recently?

Recently I’ve been thinking about healthy eating, so I’ve tried my best to find a snack that is both scrumptious and low-carb. And finally I found Sua Chua Nep Cam, which is a mixture of brown glutinous rice and unsweetened yogurt. I have eaten this on a daily basis, and now I’ve lost 2kg.

4. Do you like any food from other countries near Vietnam?

Of course I do. I have a profound passion for Chinese cuisine as I have spent some time in this country. I can spend hours drooling over Beijing roasted duck and Guangzhou homemade noodles. Whenever I’ve got the munchies, I just daydream about feasting on these incredible dishes.

5. Do you like to cook?

Not really, to be honest. Most of the time I eat ready meals and take-aways, that’s one of the reasons I love visiting my mum because I can always enjoy lovely home-cooked food.

6. Do you think cooking is a pleasure or a chore for people who have busy lives?

No, I don’t think so. Cooking for other people is a particular pleasure, but for people who have time only. I guess there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing people you love tucking into something you’ve cooked yourself.

7. What time do you usually eat dinner?

We have our main meal at around 7.00, which I’m usually starving hungry by then. In fact, I often grab a bite to eat as soon as I get home from school.

8. Will you change your diet habit?

Yes, I’d like to make some changes. I actually eat too much junk food, which really makes me fat and unhealthy. In the future, I think I should learn how to cook by myself so that I could make healthy and delicious food at home.

9. What do you enjoy the most about a meal?

Well, it is undoubtedly the dessert. I have a sweet tooth, that’s why I always look forward to a piece of cake or a fruit tart after having my meal. I often spay a big layer of whipping cream on my dessert, as it makes the dish look way more mouth-watering.
