(Update 2024) IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic Puzzles Free Lesson

Yeah, I did puzzles when I was little, like when I was a primary school student. I remember it was a kind of word search. My English teacher just liked to give us a kind of homework, trying to help us to memorize the new vocabulary. It was fun to circle the required word, so I really enjoyed the whole process.

I do puzzles at any time. You know, when I’m on the train, like traveling to another place, I love to do the crossword to kill time. It’s good to relax. And when I feel bored, I also do the same thing coz it’s like the stimulus to my brain.

I definitely prefer word puzzles coz they are my strong suit, and they just give me great sense of achievement. But number puzzles are killing me, which is like the tough job for me to do. It’s probably because I’m bad at numbers and learning maths is just like the most traumatic experience in my life.

Yeah, I definitely agree that doing puzzles does a lot of good to senior citizens. Technically speaking, they are just designed to train the brain, which helps to delay the brain’s aging process. And some of them, like the jigsaw puzzle is good for hand-eye coordination, which is beneficial to the elderly.
