PART 1

PUZZLES

ย 

ANSWERS

ย 

ย 

ย 

Did you do puzzles in your childhood? ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

Yes, I did! I remember I enjoyed playing jigsaw puzzles, Rubikโ€™s cubes, and Scrabble with my parents and siblings. We usually played with those puzzles when we had a holiday in our shack (cabin) during summer break. My parents didnโ€™t want us to watch TV every time we have our holiday since they wanted us to really spend time with one another. That was lovely, actually.ย  ย 

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

Of course! Actually, my favorites are crossword puzzles and Sudoku puzzles. It was my mom who taught me how to answer crossword puzzles because she really wanted me to learn lots of vocabulary, which Iโ€™m so grateful for even up to this day because my language skills really developed. As for (with regard to) Sudoku, I just got interested in it because I was so inspired by my friend whoโ€™s really good at numbers, so he was very kind in teaching me how to solve Sudoku puzzles.ย  ย 

ย 

Do you like doing word puzzles or number puzzles?ย  ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

Iโ€™m more into the latter (the second mentioned) because I love numbers. I enjoy solving mathematical problems or challenges as Iโ€™m really good at numbers. Well, I donโ€™t want to sound like Iโ€™m blowing my own horn (to talk about myself or oneโ€™s achievements in a way that shows pride) but to tell you the truth, I got a lot of awards in both elementary and high school for competing in number puzzles.ย  ย 

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

Well, if that question was asked when I was a kid, for sure my answer would be word puzzles because I had a mentor who helped me do word puzzles and thatโ€™s my mom. However, these days, Iโ€™m more interested in number puzzles as those types of puzzles help me develop my critical or logical thinking skills which are so helpful in decision-making.ย  ย 

ย 

When do you play puzzles? ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

I seldom play puzzles these days because Iโ€™m incredibly busy with my work and my personal affairs. I think the last time I played puzzles was last month. I was playing a word puzzle called Scrabble on my phone while I was waiting for my momโ€™s arrival at the airport.ย  ย 

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

I have installed some word and number puzzles on my smartphone so I play one of those puzzles when I simply have nothing to do or when I need to wait for someone. Itโ€™s actually my way of killing the time (to spend time doing something while one is waiting) or my way of entertaining myself so I donโ€™t feel like I waste my time waiting for someone or something.ย  ย 

ย 

Do you think it is good for old people to do puzzles? ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

Yes, I believe so because puzzles are a form of mental exercise. As we know, most elderly experience memory loss so playing a number puzzle or a word puzzle will surely help their brain become active and make them improve their memory. Well, Iโ€™m not making this up (inventing a story) โ€“ there are actual studies that have been done to support my claim.ย  ย 

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

Definitely! All puzzles have benefits for players, most especially for the elderly. Playing with any kind of puzzle will surely enhance the memory of old people since those will make their brains active.

ย 

Actually, I read an article that says those old people who play puzzles are less likely to experience dementia (inability to remember, think, or make decisions) because their brain is being exercised. That really convinces me since my grandma has sharp memory despite her age because her favorite pastime is playing numbers or word puzzles.ย  ย

I once worked at a UK-based company teaching business English to Japanese businessmen who primarily work in Nikkei, a media company in Japan.

I created this website to help you all achieve your desired band scores so you will not be wasting so much money, time, and effort by retaking the exam numerous times. All of the sample answers I provided on this website are a product of my experience as a band 9.0 achiever and an experienced IELTS speaking coach.

I've made sure that all of the sample answers are developed in a conversational and natural way because that is how I achieved a crisp band 9.0.

Be one of the many students who achieved their target band scores by utilizing this website as one of the learning resources!
