Invest one minute in brainstorming about this topic’s questions. If you’ve not read my advice on developing each answer in a proper way, please read the lesson on speaking.

PLUS, you can implement the idea of collocations in this answer. Here is the link to a truly useful article: Lessons in speaking – collocations.

IELTS offers you one minute to prepare an answer and two minutes (maximum) to speak.

I am a foodie and a frequent traveler. So, I get opportunities to taste dishes from different cultures. (Introductory statement)

Last year I traveled to China’s capital Beijing. In a traditional Chinese restaurant, I tried a strange dish made up of sea weeds. Sea weeds, as you know, are vegetarian foods grown in the sea and are very nutritious. (Where was it, what was the food) 

I loved tasting it the first time. No other food comes close to it in terms of taste and it is difficult for me to explain it. I loved it not only because of the taste but also due to the abundance of nutrients in it. (Like or dislike. Why.)

Since I’m a traveler, I have first-hand experience of how humans will face a shortage of nutritious food in the future. Scientists have proposed seaweed farms as a solution to the problem. I just wanted to taste the future of human food. (Why try.)

Follow-up questions:

1. Do you prefer to buy foreign foods?
2. Why do people buy foreign foods?
3. Why are humans facing food shortage? Propose a solution.
4. Would you spend more on foreign foods?
5. Why is that?

Good luck making your own answer. Do not forget to share with us. And, feel free to share the answer to any of the follow-up questions in the comments section. I’ll reply as soon as possible.
