Ielts speaking Part 1 Toys and Reading

Yes, of course. I loved playing with toys when I was a child; I think all children do.

As far as I remember, I mostly played with toy cars, planes and action figures from films or cartoons. I also liked building things with Lego.

Not really. I think boys like the kinds of toys that I mentioned before, whereas girls play with dolls. My niece, for example, doesn't like toy cars; she prefers dressing dolls in different outfits.

Yes, I do. All toys encourage children to use their imagination and creativity. Even with simple toys, children imagine situations and invent games and rules.

Yes, I like reading a lot. I read all sorts of things, including novels, newspapers, magazines, and online articles.

Well, I have to do a certain amount of reading as part of my job, but I probably read more for enjoyment. I pick up a newspaper most days, and I usually have a book on the go.

The first book that I remember really enjoying was '..........'. It only took me a few days to read because I liked it so much that I couldn't put it down.

Definitely. I think reading is possibly the most important skill that children learn. The ability to read opens the door to all aspects of education.
