IELTS Speaking · Part 1 and Part 3

IELTS Speaking Questions: Websites

Website questions in Part 1 ask about your daily online habits: which sites you use, what for, how you find new ones, and whether you trust what you read. Answer directly and add one concrete detail, such as the site you opened this morning, rather than a general statement about the internet.

Part 3 turns the same habits into questions about how information is found and trusted, how access should be managed for children, and how websites will develop. Prepare one clear opinion on reliable information online, with an example of how you check a source, rather than a memorised answer.
