IELTS Speaking Part 1: Digital photos questions and answers

Yeah, quite a lot, actually. I tend to snap pictures almost every day because the camera on my phone is so handy. Just yesterday, for instance, I took a quick snapshot of a lovely sunset over the park near my flat.

Mostly everyday moments and scenery, I’d say. I’m not really into taking selfies, so I prefer capturing nice views or candid shots of my friends when we meet up for coffee at the weekend.

To be honest, I'm a bit terrible at keeping them sorted. Most of them just sit in my camera roll, although every few months I back up my favourite holiday pictures onto an external hard drive so I don't lose them.

I definitely prefer physical prints. Viewing them on a screen is convenient, but there's something special about having an actual album to flip through. In fact, I framed a print of my family from last Christmas for my living room wall.

Not really, no. Back then, we only had disposable film cameras, so you had to be quite selective about what you captured. We usually saved the film for big occasions like birthday parties or summer holidays by the sea.

I imagine I'll probably take fewer, to be fair. Nowadays, people take hundreds of pictures without really looking at them, so I want to become more mindful and just enjoy moments as they happen rather than viewing life through a screen.
