IELTS Speaking topic farm

Here we go. The new IELTS Speaking 2021 topic: Farms seems to be causing so many of my students difficulty whilst preparing for the speaking section.

About this topic

Just like IELTS Speaking 2021 topic: Museums this isnt the first time weve seen the topic. Funnily enough, also just like with the topic about museums, this topic gives you another great opportunity to show confidence whilst speaking in Part 1.

Remember that examiners know which topics are tougher to talk about than others, and they will of course consider that when it comes to assessing your performance. If youre able to speak as confidently about farms as you are your family, then the chances are youre all set for Part 2 and 3.

As usual in the IELTS Speaking section, there are always a few topics that students need the most help with, read our model answers, have a look at the vocabulary recommend, and of course, enjoy the video

• Have you ever visited a farm before?

Yeah, back when I was in primary school we went on a school trip to an animal farm. It was pretty cool actually, I got to feed the pigs, watch the cows, n all that great stuff. I have quite a few fond memories of it.

• Have you ever worked on a farm?

Uhm, no. Unless you consider what I just mentioned as working on a farm, then yeah, sure. Because Ive lived in major cities throughout my entire life, I havent had so many chances to

• Do you like farms? Why / why not?

Yeah, I suppose so. Believe it or not, I absolutely love the smell of them. Theres just something about it that makes me feel alive, yknow? Plus, I reckon its necessary to understand where our food comes from and how its cultivated, I guess thats something Ive always been interested in.

• What kinds of farms are common in your country?

Uhm, Im not sure, really. I guess itd predominantly be livestock and crops here in the UK. Weve got plenty of grasslands dedicated to livestock where sheep n cows can roam freely and graze In terms of crops though, I honestly havent got a clue.

• Are there any farms near where you live?

No, none at all. Like I mentioned earlier, Im a typical city boy. The nearest farm I know of is a fair drive away, although, if there are any nearby, I havent discovered them yet.

• When you were younger, did you want to be a farmer? Why / why not?

Not that I remember, no. I always thought that one day Id become an artist or a teacher, obviously the latter ended up coming into fruition as Ive been tutoring the IELTS for the past 5-years.

• How important is farming?

I reckon its absolutely essential. Though most people consider medicine and education the most vital industries within society, I actually believe that farming is the backbone of all other industries. Agriculture should be seen in a different light, rather than unattractive, manual labour, people should realize how noble and crucial it really is.
