HARDEST SPEAKING QUESTION?

I think the question below is the hardest question in the IELTS speaking test for 2018. It is so hard to talk about a piece of furniture for 2 minutes! Have a look at my model answer.

You know furniture is perhaps something that we just take for granted.  I have never really thought of which piece of furniture I really like and to be quite frank most modern furniture does not appeal to me.

There is, however, one particular item of furniture that I really do like.  It is a small wooden chess table.  The entire table was handmade using nothing but the finest Tasmanian Oak. Tasmanian Oak is a beautiful hard wood that does not seem that attractive until you use a sander to smooth it out and then apply a vanish which brings out a deep natural grain.

I did not really buy the table.  However, I purchased the wood and materials that I used to make this table.  I purchased all the materials at a hardware shop known as Bunnings which is a large hardware chain of shops which can be found in every major Australian city.  The really nice thing about Bunnings is the diverse range of products they have.

I spent a lot of time crafting the table and laminating different shades of wood so that I could get the checkered shape of a chess board on the table top.  Yet the strange thing is that I rarely if ever get a chance to use it.  I am normally so busy with work and then when I am not busy I am simply too tired.  Not to mention that finding a suitable person to play chess with is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Good solid furniture that is made of real wood is as rare as henโ€™s teeth. If you can find an item of furniture nowadays that is made of real wood it is unlikely that it will be affordable for the average person.  This is why I like it so much as it is real and made with my own blood, sweat and tears.
