The question
Do you like traveling?
Do you prefer to sit by the window when traveling?
Did you have a long journey with your family as a child?
Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?
Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?
How to answer it
Notice that this set is not about holidays — it is about the journey itself, windows, car photos, long drives. Answer the questions that were asked rather than the travel topic you prepared. The childhood journey is the one place you can tell a small story, and one sensory detail does more than a full itinerary: the smell of the car, being told to stop asking how much longer, arriving in the dark.
What moves the band
- Mountains or sea is a preference question and wants a reason that is not the obvious one — the sea makes me restless, mountains make me shut up.
- Say why you want the window seat. Everyone says yes; the reason is the answer.
These are candidate recalls. These are questions reported by test-takers after their exams, not official or leaked IELTS material. Wording varies by test version, location and memory. Use them for timed practice — never as a prediction of what you will be asked.
