Now, in today’s video you’ll see my sample IELTS Part 3 answer to this question:

What is a traditional art form in your country?

I answered by recalling a recent episode I listened to of the show Radiolab.

They talked about the history of a traditional dance in my country, square dancing.

The context around this art form is contentious, as many think it does not represent the diverse cultures in the U.S., because it has been mostly for white people.

However, according to a researcher they interviewed on the show, it actually also encompasses very old African American history as well, such as the call and response characteristic of the dance.

I could have talked for a long time about this because I just listened to the episode, but I tried to bring it back to the question by mentioning other traditions in the States as well, such as the Native American elements found in dance.

Here’s another IELTS Part 3 Speaking question you can practice on your own:

What makes a good painting?

If I were answering this question, I may first say that it is impossible to tick off standard requirements for a ‘good painting’, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say.

This means that art is subjective, and whether or not it is liked is up to the person viewing it, how it resonates with their personal emotions and experiences.

For instance, a very famous painter from Portland, Mark Rothko, is widely said to be one of the most talented modern artists. However, to be candid, his work does not speak to me, and I do not enjoy it!

I prefer the impressionist style of painting, such as those by Edgar Degas.
