IELTS Speaking Part 1: Watches – bài mẫu và câu trả lời hay

Do you wear a watch?

Yes, every day.

It's just a no-frills black digital one, but checking it is second nature to me now.

I mean, I've worn a watch since my first year at university, so my wrist feels kind of naked without it.

Have you ever got a watch as a gift?

Yes, from my dad.

He handed his old mechanical watch down to me when I graduated.

It's a bit scratched and runs a few minutes slow, but I don't mind at all.

Actually, I only wear it to weddings and at Tet, and funnily enough, it gets more compliments than anything else I own.

Why do some people wear expensive watches?

Partly as a status symbol, I reckon.

My manager wears a really pricey one whenever he meets clients, and it does help him look the part.

Then again, some people treat a good watch as an investment, since certain models appreciate in value.

To be fair, I can see the appeal of something beautifully made.

Do you think it is important to wear a watch? Why?

Strictly speaking, no, since every phone shows the time.

Having said that, checking your phone in a meeting is a bit frowned upon at my company.

A quick glance at your wrist is much more discreet.

I mean, nobody thinks you're secretly texting.
