(2025) IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic Emails

Umm, not very often, usually only for work or academic purposes. I think sending emails are a crucial communication tool for me compared to instant messaging or texting. Only when I need formal and detailed conversations, particularly with my past professors and current colleagues.

Well, I never send emails to my friends because they just don’t check their email box frequently But I would send emails to professors and that’s important for our communication like when I need to ask them about the requirement for
essays, revision opinions，and also submit the homework to them, such kind of things.

Yeah, of course. Sending emails is quite popular in China, especially in professional and academic occasions. Many companies use e-mail as a primary means of communication. However, younger people, including myself, rely more on messaging apps like WeChat for more casual communication.

Well, I think in the future it will remain the same level of popularity or become more popular, especially in businesses or educational institutions. Because without a doubt, emails always show professionalism and respect, while messaging apps are popular for quick, informal communication. I think emails provide a sense of formality and organization that cannot be replaced.

Yes, very often. I am working in an international company, and sending emails is part of my work. I send emails every single day, to my clients, my boss, and my group members. The majority of my emails are about working contents, meetings, or tasks, and the rest of them are holiday celebrations and blessings.

Mostly when I’m at work. I need to send emails about task arrangements and meeting summary to my group members, and I need to send reports to my department supervisor. When I’m off work, I sometimes send emails to my dentist to make an appointment, or to keep connection with my college teachers.

It now becomes a very popular way of communication in China. Students, officer workers, they all send emails very often. I know in many school in my country, students will be taught how to write an email to teachers, to admission officers in their future college, which means we take this very seriously.

Frankly speaking, I think sending emails will be less popular in the future. Because we rely more on APPs of communication in smartphones, they are more instant, more convenient, and they will be more popular.

I have signed up for many newsletters, google news and other websites, so I do receive emails on daily basis, but they are usually mails from the company. Apart from these, I do get mails regarding work, so our team is mostly in touch using mails. With friends, I am mostly in touch using social media, so there is no point of any other interaction online. I do reply to mails that are regarding work or sometimes chat with people on google hangouts.

Yes! As I am working for an IT company, so it’s an integral part of my job to send and receive email regularly. The entire process of communication between me and my colleagues takes place via email.

Well, I always use email as an official way of sending and receiving information. I usually communicate with my colleagues and seniors regarding official work.

As I am a customer service executive, so I have to check my emails very frequently. In fact, I have to keep my email ID logged in to give quick response to the customers. It also helps in improving the service quality of my firm.

Well, regularly. May be on a daily basis, I would say. Mails are important for me, because my work does not allow me to meet as many people for networking, so we mostly connect using mails, delaying the work does not makes sense.

Definitely strengthened. We are not talking about the informal mails to friends and family where one just sends in message in whatever language they want. But, if talking about the formal mails or the semi-formal mails, people have surely improved. Because earlier it was one to one talk, but now along with talk there are messages being send. And I think writing mails gives an idea of the language as well.

I think the major issue with mails is that they carry viruses. So, someone might just drop in a mail having a virus and it can harm the entire computer. In worst cases, it can read out your email address book and send themselves to a number of people around the world. The second issue is that one often gets spam messages, a lot. So, if a person does not know the difference, it surely creates a havoc.
