雅思口语考试时碰到自己不喜欢或者不了解的话题怎么办？下文以”音乐（Music）“为例，告诉大家该怎么做？

People often ask me what they should do if the examiner asks about a topic that they don't like or don't know anything about. Take the topic of 'music' for example. This is an easy topic for some people, but others find it difficult because they don't usually listen to music.

Let's imagine that you don't like music and you don't know anything about it. How would you answer the following questions in part 1 of the test? Try to give negative answers, but make sure that they are still good answers!

Do you like music?

What kind of music did you listen to when you were young?

When was the last time you went to a concert?

Would you like to participate in a live music show?

Remember: You might not like a topic, but this doesn't mean you can't answer the questions. IELTS speaking questions never require 'knowledge', only simple ideas and opinions.

1) Do you like music?

No, I don't really like music, and I don't listen to it. It's not something that I've ever been interested in.

2) What kind of music did you listen to when you were young?

I can't remember listening to much music as a child either. I suppose I must have heard some traditional music at festivals or parties, but I didn't take much notice of it.

3) When was the last time you went to a concert?

I've never been to a music concert. Maybe I should try going to one; perhaps it would be interesting to see an orchestra playing classical music.

4) Would you like to participate in a live music show?

No, definitely not. I don't play a musical instrument and I don't sing, so I can't imagine that I'd ever find myself performing to an audience.

Note:

My aim here is to show you that you can answer questions about any topic - you don't need to like it or know anything about it. (I do like music by the way!)
