 Sample IELTS Speaking

Actually, I’m not a fan of typical comedy films so I can’t recall the last time I actually laughed when watching a funny movie. Instead, I’ll tell you about a time I laughed when watching a movie.

The film’s name was The Witcher, which is a movie adaptation of the first part in a fantasy novel series written by a Polish author. The series revolves around Geralt – the witcher with superhuman abilities in his journey to find Ciri – his long lost adopted daughter. It’s a pretty long series so I’ll just focus on its first part – The Last Wish.

So in this part, Geralt met a sorceress called Yennefer – who would later be bound to him by destiny, and became the love of his life. And what the movie does really well – also the thing that makes me laugh and adore – was the palpable chemistry between them. Geralt is famous for his dry humour, and Yennefer can literally destroy a person’s ego with her razor sharp sarcasm and witty remarks. As you can expect, whenever Geralt and Yen Are together, they never fail to amuse the audience with their genuine interactions. The way they mock each other, banter back and forth, speaks so much about their personality, sense of humour, and most importantly the unbreakable bonds between them. Apart from the super talented actor and actress who play G and Y – two very hard characters to portray - I also gotta give credits to the movie producer for staying faithful to the source material. It felt like G and Y just magically stepped into our world right from the book with their unmistakable appearance and personalities.

So that’s all I wanna tell you about this unexpectedly hilarious movie. I not only find the chemistry between Geralt and Yen adorable, but also consider it as a relationship goal. Hopefully, my significant other would also feel the same.
