Latest IELTS Speaking questions from India - December 2023

A very kind IELTS test taker MC shared the following Speaking questions from her recent computer-based IELTS exam in India:

Test tip

Go over these questions and think of some things to say and what vocabulary you would use. IELTS Speaking test questions and topic areas are known to repeat in many countries! Being familiar with the topic and specific questions increases your chances of success.

Once you have some ideas, answer the questions and record yourself. Then listen to your recording and check your fluency, intonation, gaps in vocabulary or words you may have mispronounced. Re-record anything you are not happy with, and you'll see that your next attempt sounds better already!
