IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic: Sky
1. Do you like to watch the sky?
Yes, I do! Actually, my region in Spain, Andalucia,
is known for having over 300 days of sun a year! With this said, there are few
things more relaxing than lying out on the beach on summer afternoons, staring
up at the cloudless sky. Furthermore, the sunsets here are just magnificent,
often displaying colors like cotton candy. Since I live on the tenth floor of
my building, I almost always watch the sunset.
2. Do you like to watch stars?
Absolutely! For one, it’s a very romantic activity,
so I like to do it with my boyfriend. Moreover, I like to go out to star-gaze
with my friends. We have a fun activity where we try to find different shapes
in the stars then call them out to each other.
3. What is the sky like at night in your hometown?
Marvelous! Since there isn’t much light pollution
here, you can see the stars very clearly at night. I sometimes like to go out
on the beach at night with a blanket and gaze (watch) at the brilliance of the
shining stars. It makes me feel in awe of just how amazing the universe is.
There are few things more romantic than that!
4. Have you ever taken a course about stars?
No, I have never formally studied Astronomy since it
wasn’t available at my school. However, I think it would be interesting.
Fortunately, my grandfather was really into astronomy so he shared his
knowledge with me, as well as gifted me an encyclopedia loaded with useful
information.
5. What’s your favorite star?
I’d have to say the star constellation Orion, which
is easily spotted on winter nights. I find this constellation interesting
because it has everything, including a
giant red star which could explode at any moment, a young blue star, and even a
nebula (a cloud of gas)where new stars are being born. It’s complex and
magnificent!
