IELTS SPEAKING PART 1: SEASONS [ANSWERS]

 

 

 

PART 1

 

SEASONS

 

 

ANSWERS

 

 

 

What’s your favorite season?  

 

Without question it’s summer! This is because I see jubilant faces on people wherever I go – that’s for sure because of the bright sun. Also, I love the positive vibes that this season gives off as it makes me motivated to get up every day, not to mention, that I get thrilled with the idea of going to beaches and enjoying unwinding with my friends.

 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Without question [phrase] – something is definitely true

Jubilant [adj.] – the state of feeling great joy or satisfaction

Positive vibes [expression] – positive feeling that you get from a person

Gives off [phrasal verb] – to radiate or produce

Thrilled [adj.] – extremely happy

Not to mention [phrase] – in addition; as well as

Unwind [verb] – relax  

 

TIPS

 

i.) Instead of saying ‘It’s summer’ immediately, try using some good expressions like what the speaker used (‘without question’). Other expressions can be: Absolutely/Definitely/Without a doubt, it’s summer

ii.) Right after the speaker provided his answer about summer, he then gave the first reason and explained a bit then created another personal reason to make his answer not too short. His answer sounded so natural.  

 

What’s your least favorite season in your country?

 

I suppose it’s winter since the atmosphere is gloomy and cold as opposed to summer. People look so blue that it’s common to see people frowning or feeling empty. Also, the roads are quiet since you can only see a handful of people walking around, the majority are staying inside their houses and keeping themselves warm.  

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Gloomy [adj.] – depressing; dark

As opposed to [phrase] – in contrast to; as against

(look so) Blue [adj.] – sad

Frowning [adj.] [noun] – (used as an adj. in this answer) showing the feeling of disapproval or displeasure

Handful [noun] – very few  

TIPS

  i.) The use of ‘I suppose’ is an expression of uncertainty, in other words, the speaker was not really sure what is the least favorite season in his country since in the first place he didn’t really know (He never asked each person in his country.). ‘I suppose’ → I think; I guess

ii.) The speaker simply described the common scene of winter in his country and that description is what he used in supporting his answer. Very clear or easy to understand!    

 

What do people in your country like to do in different seasons?  

 

Well, each season is unique – during summertime, people head for beaches and enjoy sunbathing and swimming which I love doing as well, as for winter, people are like bears hibernating in their own houses to get away from the cold weather but of course, some love to do winter sports. Also, my countrymen enjoy going on a picnic at the park during springtime while appreciating the beauty of cherry blossoms. In autumn, people usually spend time hiking and satiating their eyes with the magnificent colors of the foliage.  

 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Head (for, toward) [verb] – to go to particular places

Hibernate [verb] – to remain inactive or be indoor

Get away [phrase] – to escape

Countrymen [noun] – fellow national

Satiate [-ing] [verb]  – to satisfy

Foliage [noun] – leaves

 

TIPS

  i.) What the speaker did was just provide a certain activity that people do in his country in each season and provide situations to each answer to make the examiner understand better.  

ii.) Take note that the speaker used some specific words in each season to best describe what people do in every season. These are what we call topic vocabulary words. (summer – beach; spring – cherry blossoms; winter – winter sports; autumn – foliage)  

 

What is the best season for traveling in your country?  

 

Honestly, that’s a difficult question to answer since each traveler has their own preference. However, if we consider the travel cost, winter is best to travel since most flights are way cheaper than summertime. But, if money is not an issue, summer is the best since my country has a lot of white sand beaches to visit which makes the traveler’s jaw drop in awe.

Also, there are a lot of summer activities that they can do such as scuba diving, snorkeling, and paragliding, among others. With all these activities, they can surely make their vacation much more memorable.  

LEXICAL RESOURCE

 

(Own) preference – choice

Way cheaper [expression] – another way to say ‘very cheap’; the use of ‘way’ is the same as ‘very’

Jaw drops in awe [expression] – to be amazed/surprised

Among others [expression] – used to indicate that there are other things aside from the ones mentioned but you do not intend to name them all  

TIP

  i.) Well this question is difficult to answer, and that’s the reason why the speaker provided two situations and explained clearly to make the examiner get his point. By doing so, his answer sounds natural and realistic. Don’t be afraid to be realistic in expressing your answer as that helps you express naturally.
