IELTS Speaking Examples - Model Answer
Ok, Iād like to tell you about an old person that I know.
His name is John, and he is the owner of a small convenience store at the end of my street.
I would say that my relationship with him is as a friend. I know him because I regularly go to the shop in order to buy things when I donāt have time to go to a supermarket. Heās quite friendly and I always have a chat with him. Iāve known him now for about five years - since Iāve lived in the area in fact. Thatās why Iād now call him a friend.
Iād say that I see him fairly regularly. Like I said, I go to the big supermarket out of town sometimes to stock up, but you always need odd things during the week such as milk, or some snack or other. So when this happens I just have a walk down to his shop. So Iād say I see him every one or two days.
I think John is pretty popular as heās been there for years as far as Iām aware, so most of the locals around the area know him. There will always be someone in the shop having a chat with him. They like him because heās not just the shopkeeper but heās also very involved in activities in the community. For example, I know he helps out at the old peopleās home some nights, and he runs the quizzes at the local pub. He also helps to organize the fete that is held each year in the town.
The reason that I like him is that heās great to have a chat with. For instance, a while back I was having problems with my work, and I was really feeling stressed. I didnāt really have anyone to talk to at the time as my family is abroad and a couple of my good friends were not around. I mentioned it to John and he was great. He listened and also gave me some really good advice. He didnāt need to do that so it was great that he made the time to anyway. Generally, though, heās really welcoming when you go to his shop. Heāll always have a smile on his face.
