Sample Answer
I’d like to tell you about a gift that I’m gonna buy for my best friend on her birthday this year.
My friend has a soft spot for sneakers and she even has a huge collection of shoes from various brands, both local and international ones. There is that pair of Nike Air Max 97 that she’s been totally obsessed with but kind of can’t afford since they’re a little pricey, about more than 200 dollars.
I’ve decided to buy them for my friend next month as her birthday is coming real soon. I bet she’d be absolutely elated and surprised by such a stunning gift.
To speak frankly, there’re just a couple of people I’d spend more than a hundred dollars on when it comes to gift buying, and my best friend is definitely one of those. You know, we’ve been best friends for five years and gone through all ups and downs together, so I really want to treat her on her special day. I also think that sneakers are such a meaningful gift that shows one’s love and appreciation to those who receive them.
IELTS Speaking Part 3
1. When do people send gifts to others?
Well, it seems obvious that all of us would send gifts to our loved ones on holidays and special occasions. Around the world, when it’s holiday seasons such as Christmas in Western countries or Tet in some Asian nations, friends and families are excited to prepare gifts for those around them. Besides, gift giving is sort of a must during celebrations such as weddings, anniversaries or birthdays.
2. Why do people like to receive gifts?
I guess we’re all somebody’s close friend or significant other, aren’t we? So when we receive a gift from our loved ones, whether it’s prohibitively expensive or just a few bucks, we all feel happy and grateful because there’s always someone out there who loves and cares about us.
3. Will people feel happy when receiving an expensive gift?
Honestly, I feel that most people would be pleased and delighted with luxury overpriced presents. It’s not only because we tend to be attracted to material possessions as humans but also due to the fact that we must be very important to those who are willing to spend lavishly on items they give us.
