IELTS Speaking Part 1 – Text Messaging [Question & Answer]

1️⃣  Do you like texting? 2️⃣  Do you prefer sending or receiving messages? 3️⃣ Have you ever received a confusing text message? 4️⃣ In what circumstances is making a phone call better than sending a text messages?

Do you like texting?

Yes, I like sending messages. Mostly, I prefer sending text over whatsapp and facebook as they are extensively used platforms and all my friends & relatives are on it.

Do you prefer sending or receiving messages?

Usually, I prefer both! An effective communication is believed to be two-way communication where one is a sender and other is a receiver and vice-versa. On an everyday basis, I exchange hundreds of SMS’s with my work colleagues, relatives and family members.

Have you ever received a confusing text message?

Yes, There was a time when I was befuddled by a text message. It’s interesting anecdote related to my trip to Kerala. Actually, I made an online train reservation where I was supposed to get my booking details through an SMS. I received a message where I was assigned two seats in two different train coaches. Initially, I get confused so I called the Indian railways helpline and found out that it was a technical glitch. Later they send me over the confirmed seat arrangement in another message.

In what circumstances is making a phone call better than sending a text messages?

I think a phone conversation is by all means better to console someone at a time of grief or disappointment. Moreover, a troubled relationship can also find a healthy restart with just a phone call. Text messages in such cases are meaningless and out of context.
