Daily IELTS Answer – Airports (Band 7.0 – Part 3)

1. What are some good things about airports?

“So the good things about the airports, especially in Jakarta and Bali, are that those airports are international airports and have lots of facilities that you can rely on so you don’t have to – if you are going to be late, you can choose to take a shower over there or you can have your breakfast or eat many things, or buy some stuff at the airport, so the airport is many more things other than just flights to other places.”

Verb: rely on – depend on something
Phrase: other than – instead of

2. Do you think it’s good to work at an airport?

“I personally think that there is no bad work, everything is good as long as you are an expert and a professional in the field, so considering that airports have helped so many people – thousands of people, so working at the airport is nice and a good thing to do.”

Preposition: in the field
Linker: as long as – provided that / only if

3. Do you think the expansion of airports (more runways / more terminals) should be controlled or not?

“I believe that airports are really important, but on the other hand, I think that the expansion of airports should be controlled because first, everything needs to be controlled, even if it’s really good things. You need to know about the costs and benefits, because you can build an airport, you don’t want to have the costs exceeding the benefits. The second thing is you need to consider the environmental impact of the runways and terminals that are going to be built. So speaking-wise it’s like that.”

Collocation / Phrase: the costs exceeding the benefits
Collocation: environmental impact – the effect on the environment
