Model Answer 1:

Honestly, I’m more into playing rather than watching. My favourite game Is football and I’m a die-hard fan of Messi. I’ve seen his performance in numerous live matches that telecast on TV.

What it was? and When you watched it?
But here I would like to talk about a football match which was organised last year by our local council to encourage more youngsters to play. Actually, I was a part of the team yet I was not able to play that match due to an injury.

What it was like?
Therefore, I watched it sitting in the stands. The experience was really unbeatable. As it was like riding a roller coaster. There was so much energy in the crowd, people were shouting to cheer up their players. If I talk about the match the competition was too tough between both the teams but at last, we lost by a margin of one goal.

And how you felt about it?
Moreover, It was amazing to see both the team members hugging each other to show the sportiness and celebrated the victory very positively. At last, prize distribution was the best part, as the players who performed well were awarded with trophies and incredible gift hampers. Man of the match won a bullet bike after which he was at cloud nine.

Conclusion:
So this was a match that I watched live and it was a really unforgettable experience.

Model Answer 2:

Introduction:

A Sports Centre has been recently inaugurated in MY city, and I had a chance to visit it last month.
I came to know about it through the local newspaper.

What it was?

The Sports Center was inaugurated by the famous hockey player Pargat Singh and is named after the hockey legend Dhyan Chand.
Many different sports such as soccer and hockey are played at this stadium and it also has professional coaching staff.
One can go and learn different kinds of sports activities or just simply go and hang out with your friends.
Since it opened, the Sports Center was on my must-visit radar.

When you watched it?

So, when I found out that The Chandigarh Tigers were playing Football in a friendly match on 20th August, I made it a point to buy tickets so that I could have fun at the new Stadium.

What it was like?

I must say that when I arrived at the 10-hectare Stadium, I was swept away by the thrill and flurry that filled the air.
There were football fans getting ready to come into the Stadium to support the Home team.
There were diners, shoppers, families, and the curious ones – like me all enthusiastic and impatient to visit our fresh sports icon.
The stadium comprises an extensive variety of venues, specifically, a 35,000-capacity stadium, 4,000-capacity Aquatics Centre, 1,500-capacity Sports Arenas, a Water Sports Centre, a Library, and about 25,000 square meters of trading and dining hall.
What I found the most incredible was the sight of the city skyline.

And how you felt about it?

It looked glorious and everyone felt stunned at that moment.
The greatest part about the new Sports Centre is how close the Stadium is to the shopping area.
It took me just five minutes to get from the shopping centre to my seat.
I felt pleased that I had the chance to visit this remarkable stadium and be part of history,
watching the first ever football game played in the new Stadium of the city.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 : Follow up Questions

Here some examples of follow up questions that you may asked during your speaking part 3 by examiner related to cue card “describe a live sports match that you have watched”.

1. Do you prefer to watch live sports or watch it on TV?
I prefer watching sports on the TV. I think the Televisions have improved so much over the recent
times that the experience is the same as watching it live. Moreover, the luxury of sitting in the comfort of one’s house cannot be matched.

2. Why do some people like to watch live sports?
I think watching sports live is much more about spending quality time with friends and family. People go there to break the monotony of everyday life and do something different. For some, it is also about the possibility of meeting or getting an autograph from their favourite sportsperson.

3. What kind of sports do Indian people like to watch?
Indians are crazy about many sports like hockey, football, but I think nothing can come close to the popularity of cricket. I think nearly everyone watches cricket and many play it also. In fact, many Indians in foreign countries also play cricket even though the game isn’t popular there.

4. Do you think competition is good for students?
Certainly, I think competition makes us students work harder. Life without competition would be very boring. Moreover, the growing population means that competition is only going to increase in the future, so it better for students to learn to handle competition from early childhood.
