Animals

Both my husband and I love animals so we often read and talk about them. We also have a much loved pet cat. Those are her eyes you see in the "About Me" section of this blog. Animals and pets are also one of the common topics you might meet in the IELTS test. Nearly all the common IELTS topics are quite predictable; they are the kind of topics anyone who takes an interest in the news and the world around them would have something to say about. All the same, we are all different and naturally take less interest in certain topics than others -- my husband follows football, for instance, but I take little interest in sport. So, while it makes sense to keep yourself motivated to practice English by following your interests, it's also a good idea to try to widen your interests. Everything can be interesting in some way!
