Speaking Test Part 1

1. Do you like to eat at restaurants?

Yes, I do, I eat out quite regularly. I have a busy schedule, so I don’t have much energy or time to cook homemade food and it’s more convenient to grab a bite to eat at a local restaurant.

2. What is your favourite restaurant?

My favourite restaurant is an Italian place that serves mouthwatering pasta dishes. The ambiance is warm and cosy, and the service is always impeccable.

3. Why do people like to go to restaurants?

I think people like restaurants for two main reasons. Firstly, they can enjoy a special culinary experience they can’t easily get at home and secondly, they don’t need to go shopping, cook or wash up.

4. What types of food are popular in your country?

When people cook at home they tend to cook traditional local recipes. But when people dine out, they usually choose European cuisines, like Italian or French, especially if they want fine dining.

5. Do you often have dinner with your family or friends?

Absolutely, going for dinner is a great way to spend quality time with friends and family. I get together with friends for dinner every week or two. As for my family, we don’t meet up so often as we live far away from each other, but meals together are important when we get together for special occasions and holidays.

6. Do you ever eat fast food?

I don’t eat fast food that often. I know fast food contains a lot of unhealthy ingredients, artificial flavourings and preservatives. If I’m in a rush I usually prefer to buy a salad or a wrap from a supermarket.

7. What kind of new food would you like to try?

That’s a good question. It would be interesting to try something from a new Georgian restaurant in my area as I‘ve seen several pictures of their specialties on Instagram recently and they look amazing.

8. Are there any good restaurants in your town?

Well, there aren’t too many fine dining options but there are several good mid-range options if you want to dine out without spending a fortune.
