OIETC / Oxford ELLT Speaking Part-2 Question & Answer

Travelling in Your Own Country vs Abroad ✈️

Question 1: Do you prefer travelling in your own country or travelling abroad?

Answer (B2 Level):

Personally, I enjoy both, but I prefer travelling abroad because it allows me to experience different cultures and lifestyles. When I visit another country, I can try new foods, meet people from different backgrounds, and learn about their traditions. Travelling abroad can also help me become more independent and improve my communication skills. However, travelling in my own country is usually more affordable and allows me to discover beautiful places without dealing with complicated travel arrangements. I believe both experiences are valuable, but travelling abroad offers a wider range of opportunities to learn about the world.

    Question 2: Do younger people or older people prefer travelling abroad?

    Answer (B2 Level):

    I think younger people may be more interested in travelling abroad because they often want to explore new places, gain experiences, and develop their careers. Many young people also enjoy adventure and learning about different cultures. On the other hand, older people may prefer travelling to familiar destinations or choosing more comfortable trips. However, this depends on personal interests, health, and financial circumstances. Some older people love exploring foreign countries, while some young people prefer staying close to home. Overall, I believe the desire to travel depends more on an individual’s personality than on their age.

      Question 3: What might happen if most tourists visited your country instead of travelling abroad?

      Answer (B2 Level):

      If most tourists chose to visit their own country, local tourism businesses could benefit significantly. Hotels, restaurants, transport services, and local shops might receive more customers, which could create employment opportunities. People would also have more chances to discover their country’s history, culture, and natural beauty. However, popular tourist destinations might become overcrowded, especially during holidays. This could lead to traffic problems and environmental damage if tourism were not managed properly. I believe governments should improve tourist facilities and protect natural attractions so that domestic tourism can support the economy without harming the environment.
