Ielts Speaking Model: A Toy - Part 2
IELTS(International English Language Testing System) is the world's leading test of English for higher education, immigration and employment. Below is a sample question and model answer for the topic ‘A Toy’
Describe a toy that was important to you in your childhood
You should say
When you got this toy
How you got this toy
How often you played with it
What you did with this toy
And explain why it was important to you or why you like it
When I was a child my parents gave me many toys but I guess my favorite one would have to be a teddy bear. My dad got me this bear when I was 6 years old, on my birthday actually. I have told him to buy me a bear many times before that but every time he said no and then on my birthday he surprised me with one.
It was a brown bear about half the size of me at the time so maybe 50 centimeters tall. It was furry on the outside and stuffed with wool on the inside. I’m pretty sure it was quite expensive at the time cuz the quality wasn’t too bad.
I remember I used to take that bear everywhere with me. I would talk to it like it was my best friend, have tea parties with it and even slept with it. This lasted for about 2 years. After that I got a little too old for it I guess. Also my mum had washed it many times already so it was a little worn out and even its eyes fell off – she wanted to throw it out but I refused however in the end she secretly threw it out anyway.
This bear was quite important to me when I was a child and I will buy my child one in the future.
