IELTS Speaking question of the day

Ten minutes of speaking a day beats an hour of reading about the test. Here is today's set: one Part 1 topic, one Part 2 cue card and one Part 3 question. Answer all three aloud, then come back tomorrow for a new set.

Part 1: Mobile

  • Do you have a mobile phone?
  • At what age did you first get a mobile?
  • What do you most use it for?

Practise mobile with a timer

Part 2: today's cue card

Describe the role of music in your culture or society. You should say:

  • what types of music are popular
  • how music influences people's lives
  • what cultural significance music holds

Part 3: discussion question

“What role does music play in celebrations and festivals?”

Give an opinion, a reason and an example. Aim for 45 seconds.

Practise the full Part 3 discussion

Make it a habit

Your streak and test-date countdown are stored only in this browser—no account needed. Practising a little every day until your test is the simplest way to build fluency. If you are short on time, do only the Part 2 card: it is the best single exercise for speaking at length.
