that had been asked in 2017. A very important question that gets asked is

about tourism and visiting a certain place and what are the benefits or

disadvantages for using public transportation and then what are the

benefits or disadvantages to the local people who live in the tourist area. I'm

going to give you an example of an answer that covers all of this this

would be for Parts 2 & 3 on the IELTS Speaking Test. So you asked about

visiting a tourist area. For me I like to go to the seaside because I love to go

swimming. I like to go fishing. I love to eat seafood and it's very relaxing to be

by the seashore with my friends and family. When I go to a tourist area like

that I do use a public transportation I know how much I'm going to pay and I

know when the bus or the metro or other transportation is going to leave and I

know I'll get to the place at a certain time it helps me organize my day so it's

a most efficient and I don't have to worry about driving. The benefits for

people going to a tourist area is more employment for the people who rent out

the hotel rooms or houses that people make and serve the food the people who

help with tours. For every tourist place during the busiest seasons you can have

more pollution from visitors. You can have more traffic and also a lot more

noise in that location but there are benefits and disadvantages for going to

all these places but we love doing it because we do get some relaxation or we

learn something from the place that we go so overall I think it's a good thing

to do as long as you can do it in a way that's environmentally conscious.

So in that answer I used benefits and disadvantages and addressing them you

can do this for many types of questions in the IELTS Speaking Test Parts 2 and

3 where on the one hand and there are advantages and on the other hand

there are disadvantages. That shows you can weigh or think of an argument in

your head or think of the reason and how to analyze something and that will give

you a higher score on the IELTS Remember that many people who go into the IELTS

are very nervous- they are sweating - it's hot and it's very unnatural to sit in

front of a stranger and be asked a lot of very technical questions under a

severe time limit so if you can prepare for the IELTS Speaking Test Parts 2 & 3

especially by thinking on the one hand or on the other in my opinion I

understand that I have heard in my experience you can have all these

phrases and ways of answering the question you'll get a better score it

will sound more fluent and sound more mature and sound more organized and also

it will be more interesting for the IELTS examiner because he or she has to

sit there all day and hear superstars in English and then people who don't know

as much give answers. If you go in and give a great answer like that that's

organized you'll make that person so happy they'll have to give you a higher

band score and then you can go and be successful at school or at work or

living outside of your home country so good luck and study hard and remember

always tell a great story
