First question. Do you like insects? Lemme read the first answer. Well, not all kinds of insects
0:51
There are some that I adore like ladybird beetles, butterflies, dragonflies and fireflies
0:57
For one obvious reason, they bring beauty to the environment. In fact, they're commonly the subjects of my photographs
1:04
Okay, here, I gave a direct answer by stating that I didn't like all kinds of insects
1:11
Then, I talked about those insects that I loved and provided my reason
1:17
In that way, I already added many topic vocabulary words that helped me express my answer better
1:24
In addition, to make my answer a bit longer, I talked about my hobby of photography and
1:30
connected it to my answer. That's a great way to wrap up my answer in a natural way
1:36
Let's continue. Second question. Do you think insects are useful? Yes, they are
1:45
I think every living organism in this world has its purpose. I don't think they exist for no special purpose
1:52
For instance, butterflies pollinate plants, bees produce honey that we all love eating
1:58
These kinds of insects really serve a purpose for both the environment and humans
2:03
Well, as for other insects, like those that people loathe, I just don't have any idea
2:08
of their purpose or use. Okay, so I gave a direct positive answer to the question and expressed my opinion stating
2:18
that each living thing has a special purpose on Earth. After that, I gave two examples to support my argument
2:27
Then ended my answer by saying that I didn't know the purpose of other insects
2:33
It's a good way to end my answer as I considered other insects as well to make my idea balanced
2:41
Let's continue. Before we continue, let's understand the definition of insects in biology
2:50
Insects are a type of small animal with six legs, a body divided into three parts, and
2:57
often two pairs of wings, for example, an ant, beetle, or butterfly
3:04
Other examples include grasshopper, praying mantis, bees, moth, crickets, termites
3:14
Now let's continue answering the recent IELTS speaking part 1 about insects
3:23
Third question. What kinds of insects make some people scared? Oh, that's a no-brainer question
3:31
Most people are frightened with cockroaches that whenever they see one, they usually scream
3:36
at the top of their lungs. And men are no exception for that
3:40
Funnily enough, some men, even those muscular men or manly men, are incredibly frightened
3:45
with those insects. Also, I think hornets are scary because their sting is life-threatening
3:53
So here, I started answering the question by using a natural expression that helped
3:58
me sound very confident in answering the question. And that's no-brainer. Then I proceeded to answering by mentioning one kind of insect that most people were afraid of
4:12
To make my answer interesting, I added humor to my answer by mentioning that even strong
4:18
men were afraid of cockroaches. Finally, I added another kind of insect to answer the question completely as I was asked
4:27
to give a plural answer. So mentioning two kinds of insects answered the question thoroughly
4:36
Let's continue. Fourth question. Are there many different insects in the place where you live
4:44
Let me read the second answer. Well there are, but not all the time
4:49
I can see some flies, especially fruit flies during summertime, and they're really irritating
4:54
Also, some mosquitoes appear during that time. So our local government makes an effort to control the spread of those insects in our
5:02
community every summer. So I gave a positive answer here, but not saying the common yes
5:09
Then, I talked about two specific insects which seasonally appear in our place
5:16
I simply ended my answer by stating what our local government usually do to minimize those
5:22
kinds of insects in our community. Notice how I answered naturally by using those topic vocabulary words
