IELTS SPEAKING PART 1: GETTING LOST (ANSWERS)

by Julius Malaza

in recent ielts part 1 sample answers

 

 

 

PART 1

 

GETTING LOST

 

ANSWERS

 

 

 

Have you ever lost your way?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Yes, so many times as I don’t have a sense of direction (expression: to easily get lost). Despite having GPS in my car or using a Google Map, I still get lost. I’m just poor at directions and I don’t think I can change that. (Smiling)

 

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Yes, but not as much as in the past. With Google Maps, it’s impossible that you can’t find the direction of your destination, well unless (conjunction: except if), you have an internet connectivity problem. If that happens, expect to be lost.     

 

How can you find your way when you are lost?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

I ask people because that’s much easier than interpreting maps. The good thing about asking is that you’ll get specific details of the direction where you are heading (verb: to go in a particular direction), and if you’re lucky, they sometimes really take you to the place.   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Well, that rarely happens to me, but looking back to my previous experiences, I simply asked people, those whom I thought trusted ones such as shop clerks, gas station attendants, and the like (phrase: and similar things, etcetera).

 

 

Can you read a map when you get lost?  

 

(Answer 1)  

 

As I said, I’m poor at directions so I’m not dependent on reading maps. Instead, I simply ask people whenever I’m lost as it’s way easier and most of the time, it does work!  

 

(Answer 2)  

 

I don’t easily get lost so that rarely happens to me. But of course, if I get lost I need to read a map or navigate my GPS so I can understand exactly where I am at and how I can get to my destination. That’s a no-brainer (noun: something that requires little effort)!    

 

Have you ever helped someone who got lost?

 

 

(Answer 1)  

 

Of course, I always help whenever someone asks for directions because I empathize (verb: to understand and share the feelings of another) with them. The only reason I don’t help is when they’re asking for directions which I really don’t know. But most of the time, I’m very helpful.  

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Yes, and that’s the right thing to do. But honestly, I seldom have that kind of encounter (noun: unexpected meeting) because people these days are too reliant on Google Maps. One can easily find a place with the use of modern technology. That’s how convenient this world is!

About Me

ieltsDragon-BAND 9.0 Getter!

Julius M.

Author, IELTS Speaking & Writing Coach, Band 9.0 Speaking, First Attempt


Hi students! My name is Julius, and I'm the author of IELTSDragon. I'm a non-native English speaker who scored a Band 9.0 on the IELTS Speaking test on my first attempt.


I hold a degree in Communication Arts from Cebu Normal University, one of the Philippines' prestigious state universities, and I'm a licensed teacher and TESOL-certified. Over the years, I've taught English in a range of settings, including Business English to Japanese professionals at Nikkei while working for a UK-based company.


I built this website so you don't have to waste time and money retaking the exam. Every sample answer here comes from my experience as a Band 9.0 achiever and IELTS Speaking and Writing coach, written to sound conversational and natural, because that natural delivery is what gave me a crisp Band 9.0.


Use this site as part of your prep, and let's get you to your target band score.
