Model answer (Band 8-9)

Part 1

Original model answer written by our team for practice — not an official IELTS answer.

1. What is your favourite colour?

My favourite colour is a deep navy blue. I love it because it feels calm and sophisticated at the same time. To be honest, it reminds me of the sea at night, which I find really peaceful. I also like that navy goes well with almost anything, so I use it a lot in my clothes and even in my room.

2. Do colours affect the way you feel?

Yes, they definitely do. Bright colours like yellow or orange instantly lift my mood and make me feel more energetic, especially on gloomy days. In contrast, softer tones like beige or light grey help me concentrate, so I prefer them when I’m working. What I mean is, I consciously choose colours depending on the mood I want to create.

3. Do you like to wear brightly coloured clothes?

It depends on the occasion, but generally I’m not a huge fan of very bright clothes. I tend to go for more neutral colours with maybe one colourful item, like a scarf or a pair of trainers, to add a bit of personality. I suppose I feel more comfortable and confident in subtle, understated shades than in loud, flashy ones.

4. Did you have a favourite colour when you were a child?

When I was a child, I was absolutely obsessed with bright red. I wanted everything in red – my school bag, my bicycle, even my pencil case. Looking back, I think I liked it because it seemed bold and exciting, and it made me feel a bit braver when I had to try new things at school.
