Ielts Speaking Model: A Story You Liked - 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 Story You Liked to Listen to When you Were a Child’

Describe a story you liked to listen to when you were a child

You Should Say

What’s the name of the story

Who told you the story

What’s it about

And explain how you feel about this story

There were many stories I heard when I was a child but I guess the most memorable one would have to be “the boy who cried wolf”. I’m sure you have also heard about this story before. It is about a boy who lied to everyone about wolves coming to eat his sheep but he was lying but when the wolves really came and he asked for help, no one believed him.

My mother told me about this story when I was about 4 years old. It was because I lied to her about something…I forgot what it was. Her aim was to get me to stop lying to people because it was wrong. At first I didn't understand the meaning of this story but once she explained it I realized that I was wrong and apologized

After this I my made my mum tell me this story again and again. Actually I could recite the words of this story but of course only in Chinese.

In my opinion this story is quite meaningful so I would definitely tell this story to my future children and even grandchildren.
