Model answer (Band 8-9)

Part 1

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

1. Do you like taking photographs?

Yeah, I really do. I wouldn’t say I’m a professional or anything, but I love capturing little moments from daily life. For me, photos are a way of freezing memories, especially with friends and family. Sometimes I scroll back through my gallery and it instantly takes me back to how I felt on that particular day.

2. What kind of things do you like to take pictures of?

I’m mainly into people and street scenes. I love candid shots of my friends when they’re laughing or totally absorbed in something. I also enjoy taking photos of interesting buildings, street art and night lights. I suppose I’m drawn to anything that has a bit of character or tells a story visually.

3. Do you prefer taking photos with a camera or a phone?

These days I mostly use my phone, just because it’s so convenient and the quality is surprisingly good. I can edit and share pictures straight away, which is really handy. That said, when I travel, I sometimes borrow a proper camera, because it gives me more control and the images look a bit more professional.

4. Do you often look back at old photographs?

Yes, quite often, especially when I’m feeling nostalgic or it’s someone’s birthday. I’ll scroll through old albums and it’s like going on a trip down memory lane. Old photos remind me how much people have changed and how far I’ve come myself, so they’re actually quite meaningful to me.
