Tá an-suim agam sa cheol. Tá an frása seo an-úsáideach don scrúdú béil don Ardteist. Ach cén fáth? Sa scrúdú cainte, beidh ort labhairt faoi d'ábhair spéise, agus is ábhar coitianta é an ceol. Tugann sé deis duit do chuid Gaeilge a chleachtadh i gcomhthéacs nádúrtha agus taitneamhach.
I have a great interest in music. This phrase is very useful for the Leaving Cert oral exam. But why? In the oral exam, you will need to talk about your interests, and music is a common topic. It gives you a chance to practice your Irish in a natural and enjoyable context.

Samplaí de Fhreagraí – Sample Answers
Céard iad na bannaí ceoil is fearr leat? Is aoibhinn liom gach saghas ceoil, ach is iad 'Picture This' an banna ceoil is fearr liom. D'fhreastail mé ar cheolchoirm acu i gCaisleán Mhullach Íde. Bhí an áit dubh le daoine agus bhí atmaisféar leictreach ann. What are your favorite bands? I love all types of music, but ‘Picture This’ is my favorite band. I attended a concert of theirs in Malahide Castle. The place was packed, and the atmosphere was electric!
An raibh tú riamh ag ceolchoirm? Bhí! Chuaigh mé go ceolchoirm Beyoncé i bPáirc an Chrócaigh cúpla bliain ó shin. Bhí sí ar fheabhas ag canadh agus ag damhsa. Is é an t-amhrán is fearr liom ná ‘Drunk in Love’.
Have you ever been to a concert? Yes! I went to a Beyoncé concert in Croke Park a few years ago. She was amazing at singing and dancing. My favorite song is ‘Drunk in Love’.
An bhfuil tú ábalta uirlis cheoil a sheinm? Tá! Seinnim an giotár. Fuair mé ceachtanna nuair a bhí mé níos óige, agus anois foghlaimím amhráin nua ar YouTube. Uaireanta, seinnim ag cóisirí le mo chairde. Cruthaíonn sé atmaisféar deas. Can you play a musical instrument? Yes! I play the guitar. I took lessons when I was younger, and now I learn new songs on YouTube. Sometimes, I play at parties with my friends. It creates a nice atmosphere.
