IELTS Speaking Part 1: Staying healthy
The examiner asks questions like these in Part 1. Answer each one aloud in 2–3 sentences, about 20–30 seconds.
- What do you do to stay healthy?
- Do you think you have a healthy lifestyle?
- Do you ever go to the doctor?
- What is the biggest health problem for young people today?
- Do you think people take enough care of their health?
How to answer Part 1 questions
- Answer the question, then add one reason or a short example.
- Do not learn answers by heart. Part 1 is about you, and memorised answers sound memorised.
- If a question asks why, say why. Short one-word answers cost fluency marks.
