Part 1 of the IELTS Speaking exam typically begins with "icebreaker" questions about your life, with hobbies and study (or work) being the two most frequent opening topics.

Key Vocabulary: Major/Specialization: Your main area of study. Challenging but rewarding: A common way to describe a difficult subject you like. Heavy workload: To describe having a lot of assignments or exams. Hands-on experience: For practical subjects like engineering or nursing.

Topic 2: Hobbies Questions about hobbies focus on your personal interests, how you spend your free time, and why you enjoy certain activities. Common Questions: Do you have any hobbies? What do you usually do in your free time? Did you have different hobbies when you were a child? Is it important for people to have a hobby? Do you prefer active hobbies or relaxing ones? Top Suggested Hobbies: Creative: Painting, photography, writing, or playing a musical instrument. Active: Swimming, hiking, team sports (football/cricket), or going to the gym. Relaxing: Reading (fiction/self-help), listening to music, gardening, or cooking. Useful Phrases for Hobbies: "I'm really into..." (instead of just "I like").
