IELTS Speaking part 1 - Chatting

1. Do you often chat with friends?

Yes, I engage in conversations with friends regularly, using both online messaging platforms and face-to-face interactions – I'm a pretty social person so I enjoy chatting about life and exchanging ideas with friends and also listening to their problems when they feel down.

2. Do you prefer to chat online or face to face?

My preference for chatting—whether online or in person—depends on the context and convenience. In an ideal world I prefer face to face communication – I enjoy hanging out with friends in coffee shops, over meals in a restaurant, or in bars. So, yes, I'd say I prefer face to face communication if there is the time and opportunity.

3. Do you prefer group chats or individual chats?

For individual discussions, I prefer one-on-one conversations, while group chats are more suitable for organizing events and gatherings. As I said, I'm pretty social, so I do enjoy both, but I think I lean more towards one-on-one chats. I like to listen and feel that people are more genuine when not in groups.

4. What will you do if you have a disagreement with others?

In disagreements, I aim for a constructive dialogue, seeking compromises and common ground to resolve issues amicably. Last week I had a disagreement with a friend, and I ended up not saying much in the end, and waited a day or two until she felt calmer, and then we talked again and the issue was easier to resolve. Patience and acceptance of diverse opinions is key to conflict resolution, I find.
