Welcome to IELTSdragon

Today, let's answer the recent IELTS Speaking Part 1 questions about fish and fishing in
0:07
a more strategic way. Also, let's learn some topic vocabulary words for this topic in order for us to provide
0:14
better answers to the questions. Let's make sure to get a Band 7 or even get a Band 9 like I did on my actual IELTS Speaking exam
0:24
Before we start, I would also like you to think of your own answers to every question
0:28
and write them in the comment section after you watch the entire video
0:33
Leave your own answers in the comment section and I will check them or improve them for free
0:39
Let's get started! Let's answer the first question. Do you like fishing
0:45
Let me read the first answer. Yes, I do! And it's my first love
0:51
Fishing became my favorite pastime since I was little because our house was situated
0:55
near a lake. I remember every summertime, my dad and I spent much time fishing on his tiny boat at
1:02
the nearest lake and we usually caught plenty of freshwater fish. I have wonderful memories of fishing with my father
1:09
Well, despite my hectic schedule these days, I still find time to go fishing
1:14
Alright, so I gave a direct positive answer and described fishing as my first love
1:22
And I extended my answer by recalling my wonderful childhood experience about fishing
1:28
which made me develop great interest in fishing. Right after that, I transitioned to talking about the current time in which I still enjoy fishing
1:39
Alright, but what if you don't like fishing? Okay, I created a negative answer to this question as well
1:48
Here it is. Not at all. Honestly, I tried it once, but it wasn't as enjoyable as I thought
1:56
Perhaps because I'm impatient or maybe it's not my cup of tea
2:00
But anyway, I find pleasure in eating raw fish. The taste and the smell are delectably inexplicable
2:08
I'm sure that gives you an idea on how to develop a negative answer as well
2:14
Let's continue. Second question here is, is fishing a good hobby? Let me read the first answer
2:23
Indeed, like I said, it's my first love. I think it's one of the best hobbies a person can have
2:29
I find fishing helpful to relieve my work-related stress and it helps me feel a sense of fulfillment
2:36
Most especially when I catch some of my favorite fish like tuna, trout, and salmon
2:41
My day is complete once I get one of those. Okay, so I started answering by using a good expression to reiterate what I said in my
2:51
previous answer. I used, like I said. Then I shared my opinion about fishing and how it helped me feel better
3:01
Also, I cited some types of fish and by doing that, it helped me extend my answer longer
3:09
With that kind of answer, I was able to showcase my vocabulary knowledge very well
3:14
Anyway, I also created a different way to answer this question. Here it is
3:21
Well, that depends. Those who are fanatic of fishing, they would surely say it's the best hobby in the world
3:29
But people like me who find it boring would surely never consider it as a good one
3:34
So it's just a matter of personal preference. And that sounds realistic or logical
3:41
Now let's continue. Don't forget to write your own answers later in the comment section
3:48
I will check, correct, or improve them. Let's continue. Before we continue to answering questions 3 and 4 here, let me share some topic vocabulary
3:58
words which you can use in your answers. First, we have hook
4:03
This refers to a bent piece of metal, often barbed and baited, which is used for catching
4:09
fish, of course. Take a look at the picture here. Second, we have lure or bait
4:17
This refers to a type of artificial fishing bait which is designed to attract a fish's attention
4:25
In this photo, we can see an artificial fish made of metal
4:30
This is used to attract fish, especially big ones. Let's continue. If you are new to this channel, or if you haven't subscribed yet, click the subscribe

button now. Thank you so much. Next we have fishing reel. This refers to a cylindrical device attached to a fishing rod used in winding and stowing line
4:53
Take a look at the photo. If you can use this in one of your answers, then it's great
4:59
Let's proceed to answering questions 3 and 4. Third question. Do you like eating fish
5:06
Let me read the first answer. Without a doubt. Fish is one of the healthiest foods on the planet
5:12
It's loaded with essential nutrients like protein and vitamin D. Not to mention, it's
5:17
a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for optimal body and brain function
5:22
Actually, I prefer eating fish over meat. Here I gave a very good natural expression to express my positive answer in the very
5:32
beginning of my answer. And that is, without a doubt. Then I explained how healthy fish were
5:38
I ended my answer by simply stating that I was more into eating fish than meat
5:44
With that kind of answer, I was able to provide good topic vocabulary words
5:49
But what if your answer is negative? Let me share this alternative answer with you
5:55
I'm not a big fan of eating fish. I hate the smell of it and I feel uncomfortable with its texture when I start swallowing and
6:02
chewing it. I feel like I eat some cotton when I eat fish
6:06
Well, I don't know, maybe I'm just too fuzzy. Now, I'd like to know your own answer to this question
6:14
Write your answer in the comment section and I will check or improve your answer later
6:20
Let's continue. Before I continue answering question 4, I'd like to share two more topic vocabulary words
6:28
for you. We have here, tackle box. This refers to a box designed for fishing equipment
6:35
Look at the picture. That's a tackle box with lures. Let's continue
6:43
And we have fishing rod. This refers to a long pole made of wood, plastic or metal with a line attached to it and a
6:50
hook at the end of the line, used for catching fish. Look at the picture
6:55
Well, I hope you can use any of those topic vocabulary words which I have shared so you
7:00
can develop better answers and at the same time showcase your vocabulary knowledge to
7:05
your examiner. And now, let's answer the last question. Last question. What kinds of fish do you like eating
7:14
I can eat any kind of fish, but my favorites include mackerel, tuna, trout and salmon
7:19
I know they cost an arm and a leg, but they're extremely healthy. Well, I wouldn't compromise my health on eating more meat just because it's cheaper than fish
7:28
So here, I answered the question by citing some examples of my favorite fish, which some
7:34
of those were expensive, I believe. Then I explained as to why I preferred fish over meat
7:42
Notice the expressions and topic vocabulary words that I used in my answer
7:47
Those surely helped me get a good mark in the criterion lexical resource
7:54
Now it's your turn. Answer the following questions. Do you like fishing
8:01
Is fishing a good hobby? Do you like eating fish? And what kinds of fish do you like eating
