(2025) IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic Map

Sample 1: Yes, I find myself using maps quite frequently, especially when I’m exploring new places or trying to find specific addresses.

Maps help me navigate with ease.

Sample 2: Yes, I often use maps to find my way around unfamiliar streets.

I’m usually too shy to ask strangers for directions, so I prefer to use a map to navigate around places that l’ve not been to before.

This happens quite often because I really enjoy exploring new cities.

Sample 3: I haven’t read a physical map for a long time because I always use the navigation on my smartphone.

A major reason I don’t like paper maps is that they can quickly become outdated due to the numerous new constructions.

In contrast, digital maps on navigation apps usually get updated fairly frequently throughout the year.

Sample 4: Yes, I do use maps quite frequently, especially when I’m in unfamiliar places or when I’m planning a trip to a new location. It helps me get a sense of the area and find my way around.

Sample 1: No, I don’t use paper maps because they are hard to understand and utilize.

These maps don’t directly show you the route to your destination. Instead, you need to figure out how to get from one place to another based on the routes included on the map.

Sample 2: While I appreciate the nostalgia and charm of paper maps, I must admit that I mostly rely on digital maps these days. They’re more convenient and provide real-time updates on traffic and directions, which is incredibly useful.

Sample 1: I use maps on my phone almost daily. Whether it’s for finding restaurants, getting to meetings, or simply avoiding traffic, maps on my phone are incredibly useful and convenient.

Sample 2: I use the maps on my phone very often when I’m travelling to a new city.

Digital maps are the most convenient, as they give you the information you need to get from one point to another, including when to turn and how far you need to walk or drive.

Sample 1: No, I don’t have any maps at home. I find that paper maps are difficult to use, and I usually stick to using the maps and navigation apps on my phone.

Thus, I don’t keep any physical maps as they will just add to the clutter in my home.

Sample 2: Yes, I do have some maps at home. They’re not as frequently used as digital maps, but they can be handy for planning trips or getting a broader overview of an area. I find them quite interesting to browse through from time to time.
