IELTS Speaking # Weather

IELTS Speaking Question 1: What’s the weather like in your country ?

Answer: In my view, the weather in my country(India) can be defined comprehensively by one word; Monsoon. It conveys the idea of rhythm of seasons which our exceptionally diverse land witnesses and monsoons are the reason behind this unification. India being in temperate belt zone shows the assortment in its weather. But northernmost and north-eastern part has almost cold weather whereas coastline area of country has uniformity of weather throughout the year. From December to February there is a lovely winter season, from March to July we experience hot summer, from August to October there is a rainy season and from late October to November we have autumn. And these four seasons are seen in a repetitive manner.

 

IELTS Speaking Question 2: Does the weather affect your mood?

Answer A) Yes! Weather does affect our mood. We experience drowsiness in winter and exasperation in high summers, whereas spring brings up positive alleviation in our mood. Even psychologists have proven that crime rate and psychological well being-ness are highly proportionate to the change in weather and crime rate shows a drastic decline in pleasant weather conditions.

Answer B) As far as my prospect is concerned, weather does not show significant changes in our mood, it’s the situation which plays the role in mood change. The scientific reason behind change in weather is the temperature and pressure belts of earth, which do not comply with the secretion of hormones which results into change in mood. So, it’s irrelevant to say that weather has an effect on our mood.

 

IELTS Speaking Question 3: How do rainy days make you feel?

Answers A) Well! Along with rain drops, rainy days bring ecstatic changes around us. We can enjoy variety of dishes sitting at home and seeing rain drops makes us feel blissful indeed. The precept outside elevates our mood. The tiny drops of water seem wrapping the happiness around them and more likely tend to be the lifeline for vegetation, along with sheer boon to draught prone areas and deserts.

Answers B) Frankly speaking, I feel slightly uneasy during rainy days. It’s muddiness all around the street and every class of society gets the day to day life affected due to mud and water gathered all around. Sometimes heavy rainfall halts the life and people don’t even have proper access to household commodities. From transportation to electricity everything has ceased to be stopped. In rainy season not only the quality of drinking water gets worse but also untimely rain affects our vegetation adversely. Many diseases like Malaria, Hepatitis and Diarrhea etc. also spread their tentacles during this weather.

SAMPLE ANSWER

I had always wanted to do something that I loved. However, the real trouble began when I simply did not knew my passions. So, after working for two years in a corporate I took an year out to figure out what really makes me go gaga. In the year out, there were lot of realisations. I realized that I love writing and so started a blog of mine about the travel experiences I was having. With that going on roll, there were certain things the game of blogging told me. Like, you need to be a good photographer as well if you are thinking of planning a travel blog. It just gives you so much more space.

So, I wish to study photography in near time. There have been few universities that I looked on like the University of California and the JJ school of applied arts. They offer some really nice courses and the faculties tend to be really good. Being a good photographer helps in implementing the right thing for the blog. There are times when you get the content looking at the picture. So, when you don’t know the context of the picture you cannot justify the picture.

Even more, when working on a business there is so much more involved in it. One has to learn how to meet deadlines and an intensive course in a good university, just gives  you the right context. With photography, I think I will be able to take the blog to the next level. Bringing in video content like interviews or simply the real true mundane life and writing content to say what the picture could not.

Dear Rebecca,

I would like to appreciate your decision of learning to drive. There will be a whole new start of your life after that.
If I start up with the paybacks of having a driving license, the list will go endless. The first and foremost thing is that you will feel self-dependent this way. Neither you will feel restricted nor the oddities of public transport will bother you. Moreover, you can save your precious time.
As you have asked about a driving school, here is one I would like to suggest. Success Driving School will be my first advice as this is recognized as one of the most renowned driving school in New Delhi. They have a well organized training program and flexible timings. More importantly, their trainers are truly professional. You will get the best out of your bucks.
Firstly, for theoretical exam, it would be a great idea to purchase a traffic rule guide published by City Traffic Control Police. Secondly, I would advice you to keep a first aid box handy. I hope you will give your best in this training. As the saying goes, “practice makes a man perfect” I am sure after a few months, you will start driving confidently. Looking forward for a win over news.

Love,

Sussain
