Celebrations/Parties (Part 3--IELTS Speaking)


Question 1:
What events are celebrated in your country by holding a party?

Sample Answer 1:
Oh, there are tons of events that we celebrate in my country by throwing a party! Of course, birthdays are a big one, and people love to gather with their friends and family to mark another trip around the sun. But we also celebrate anniversaries -- both of marriages and of other important milestones. And when someone achieves something professionally, like getting a promotion or landing a big job, that's definitely a reason to throw a party too! Really any excuse to get together and have some fun is a good one.

Sample Answer 2:
In my country, people throw parties to celebrate a variety of events, include weddings, graduations, religious festivals, and national holidays. We also celebrate personal achievements, such as passing an important exam or buying a new house, with parties. And of course, there are always those impromptu get-togethers with friends and family just for the sake of having a good time!

Question 2:
What is a polite way of refusing a party invitation?

Sample Answer 1:
When declining a party invitation, it's important to be polite and give a reason for not being able to attend. I would thank the person for inviting me and let them know that I looked forward to attending their next celebration.

Sample Answer 2:
Well, in all honesty, this is not something that I have personally experienced. I have very few friends, so I look forward to any parties that I get invited to. But obviously, if there is a need to refuse, it's important to be respectful of the invitee's feelings and make sure not to come across as rude or dismissive.


Question 3:
What kind of decisions and considerations are needed when planning a party?

Sample Answer 1:
Planning a party can be a real balancing act with a lot of balls to juggle -- choosing the venue, picking the music, deciding the food, etc. What I strongly feel about is that you shouldn't go overboard or bite off more than you can chew. But once it is all done, it can be a real feather in your cap, not to mention a great way to let your hair down.

Sample Answer 2:
I think planning a party requires a person to keep a cool head and stay flexible. You need to plan well but if there are any last-minute issues or glitches, then just go with the flow and do the best possible. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to make sure everyone has a good time and leaves with a smile on their face.

Sample Answer 3:
I think it depends on the size of the event and the number of guests invited. I think if you can afford to outsource to an event manager, it's fabulous, especially if it's a big get-together. Party planning involves everything from the venue and food to little details such as lighting, decoration, and photography.

Question 4:
What are the characteristics of a good host or hostess?

Sample Answer 1:
A good host or hostess should always be polite and welcoming to their guests. They should create an atmosphere where everyone feels at home. Also, it's important to pay personal attention to each guest and make sure that everyone has enough food and drinks.

Sample Answer 2:
The characteristics of a good host or hostess include being polite, friendly, and attentive to guests. It's important to ensure that everyone is having a good time and gelling well with one another. I can tell from experience that it requires good conversation and small talk skills to make a good host.

Question 5:
What is your viewpoint about people drinking alcohol at your party?

Sample Answer 1:
As a teetotaler, I believe that drinking alcohol at a party is a complete no-no. I know that alcohol can often lead to people losing control and creating a dangerous situation. I prefer to offer alternative beverages and activities that everyone can enjoy without risking their safety and wellbeing.

Sample Answer 2:
I believe that drinking alcohol at a party can be a fun way to loosen up and have a good time, as long as it's done within limits. It's important to make sure that people don't indulge and create a nuisance. As a host, I do keep a close eye on the situation and am ready to step in if anyone starts to lose control or create problems.

Question 6:
How should police deal with people who get out of control at parties because of alcohol consumption?

Sample Answer 1:
I think the police should handle the situation firmly but not harshly. However, if someone is caught driving drunk, I strongly feel that it's a serious offence and should be treated accordingly because it can harm others too.

Question 7:
What can be done to stop young people from abusing alcohol?

Sample Answer 1:
This is certainly not something that I have any proper knowledge about but I think it's important to take a multi-faceted approach. I recently read an article that alcohol abuse could be a result of many factors. So, education and awareness along with support are required. This should go hand-in-hand with strict enforcement of laws that prohibit underage drinking.
