This sound is a continuous consonant, meaning that it should be capable of being produced for a few seconds with even and smooth pronunciation for the entire duration. The lips are kept mostly relaxed during the v. A common error ESL/ELL students make is overproducing this sound by curling the bottom lip under the top teeth. This creates problems when linking to and from the v. |

There are multiple grammatical problems that make the sentence hard to parse, including a duplicated verb and missing articles/prepositions; for example, "My hometown is in the Kyoto city is a quiet place but is convenient to go central city." shows the repetition "is" and missing prepositions like "to the" before "central city."
Strengths
The content mentions the hometown and its qualities, which is related to the topic of living there.
Weaknesses
The student does not answer the actual question about plans to live there long-term; the line "My hometown is in the Kyoto city is a quiet place but is convenient to go central city." describes the place but does not state whether they plan to stay.
Strengths
The main idea—that the hometown is quiet and convenient—comes through, so a listener can grasp the general point.
Weaknesses
Awkward word order and a run-on structure reduce clarity and flow; for instance, the sentence "My hometown is in the Kyoto city is a quiet place but is convenient to go central city." reads as a single confused clause rather than a clear, connected answer.
Strengths
The response uses clear, everyday words appropriate for speaking about place, such as "hometown," "quiet," and "convenient."
Weaknesses
The range of vocabulary is limited and some phrases are unnatural, which reduces precision; for example, the student says "My hometown is in the Kyoto city is a quiet place but is convenient to go central city." which contains awkward wording like "central city."

To create the 'v sound' v, the jaw is held nearly closed. The upper backside of the bottom lip is pressed very lightly into the bottom of the top teeth. Air is pushed out the mouth between the top teeth and the upper backside of the bottom lip. This sound is a continuous consonant, meaning that it should be capable of being produced for a few seconds with even and smooth pronunciation for the entire duration. The lips are kept mostly relaxed during the v. A common error ESL/ELL students make is overproducing this sound by curling the bottom lip under the top teeth. This creates problems when linking to and from the v. |

Strengths
The sentence is simple and generally understandable, so meaning comes across despite errors.
Weaknesses
There are errors in number agreement and word order: "There are several shopping mall nearby" should be "There are several shopping malls nearby," so the original phrase "There are several shopping mall nearby" is grammatically incorrect.
Punctuation and sentence linking need improvement; adding a comma before "so" and avoiding the trailing filler would make the sentence cleaner — note the use of "or something" at the end of the response.
Strengths
The response directly answers the prompt by mentioning nearby shopping malls and the kinds of items available, staying on topic.
Weaknesses
The answer is quite general and would be stronger with specific examples of stores or items; the phrase "some things like daily things or food or some electronic components" shows the content is relevant but lacks concrete detail.
Strengths
The central idea is clear and coherent: nearby malls make shopping convenient.
Weaknesses
Repetition and filler interrupt the flow — repeating "things" and ending with "or something" (as in the phrase "or something") makes the sentence feel unfinished and less fluent.
The list of items is loosely organized; the sequence "daily things or food or some electronic components" would read more smoothly if grouped or rephrased for clarity.
Strengths
The student uses useful basic vocabulary such as "shopping mall," "convenient," and "electronic components," which communicates the main idea clearly.
Weaknesses
Word choice is often vague and repetitive: the phrase "daily things or food or some electronic components" relies on the generic word "things" rather than more precise terms.
The response uses filler language that reduces precision, for example the closing "or something" adds little information.

Strengths
The sentence attempts a simple declarative structure which is appropriate for stating an opinion.
Weaknesses
There are several grammatical issues that interfere with fluency, notably subject-verb agreement and an extra preposition. The phrase "there is no entertainment places" should be "there are no entertainment places," and the duplication in "for especially for young men" shows misplaced words that disrupt the sentence, as heard in "Honestly, there is no entertainment places for especially for young men."
Strengths
The content is on-topic and directly addresses the likely prompt about entertainment options or social life, making the response relevant to the question.
Weaknesses
The answer is very brief and lacks supporting details, examples, or explanations that would strengthen the relevance; the single sentence "Honestly, there is no entertainment places for especially for young men." does not expand on where or why this is the case.
Strengths
The speaker conveys a clear central idea: a complaint about the lack of entertainment for young men, so the message is understandable.
Weaknesses
The delivery is somewhat fragmented and repetitive, which reduces flow and coherence. The repetition and awkward ordering in "for especially for young men" interrupts the sentence rhythm and makes the thought feel incomplete.
Strengths
The response uses simple, high-frequency words that make the main idea easy to understand.
Weaknesses
The vocabulary is quite limited and could be expanded with more precise terms; for example, instead of saying "entertainment places" the speaker could use "entertainment options," "venues," or "activities" to be more specific, as in the line "Honestly, there is no entertainment places for especially for young men."

Strengths
The sentence follows a basic subject-verb-object order and is grammatically understandable, so the listener can easily infer the intended meaning.
Weaknesses
The structure is short and slightly awkward, which weakens grammatical clarity; for instance, the fragment 'there are some friends' would be clearer as a complete, connected clause such as 'I have friends there' or 'there are many friends in my hometown.'
Strengths
The response is directly on topic: it addresses why the hometown is important to the speaker by mentioning friends, which is a valid and relevant reason.
Weaknesses
The answer is too brief and lacks supporting details that would strengthen relevance; the short statement 'My hometown is important to me because there are some friends' does not explain how those friendships make the hometown important or provide examples.
Strengths
The main idea is clear and easy to follow: the speaker values their hometown because of friends, so the response is coherent at a basic level.
Weaknesses
The response ends abruptly and does not develop the idea or connect sentences, which reduces overall coherence; the line 'there are some friends' reads like an unfinished thought and would benefit from elaboration or linking phrases to make the response flow.
Strengths
The student uses clear, everyday vocabulary that accurately conveys the basic idea: words like "hometown," "important," and "friends" are appropriate for the task.
Weaknesses
The word choice is very limited and does not expand on the idea, which makes the answer feel minimal; for example, the phrase 'there are some friends' could be made more specific to show richer vocabulary (e.g., describing the type of friends or other features of the hometown).

To create the 'v sound' v, the jaw is held nearly closed. The upper backside of the bottom lip is pressed very lightly into the bottom of the top teeth. Air is pushed out the mouth between the top teeth and the upper backside of the bottom lip. This sound is a continuous consonant, meaning that it should be capable of being produced for a few seconds with even and smooth pronunciation for the entire duration. The lips are kept mostly relaxed during the v. A common error ESL/ELL students make is overproducing this sound by curling the bottom lip under the top teeth. This creates problems when linking to and from the v. |

Strengths
Your use of the pronoun and verb in "I am" is correct, and the brief negative opener "No, actually" is a natural conversational structure.
Weaknesses
There is a tense and preposition issue in "when I graduate university": the missing preposition and unclear tense make the timing hard to interpret; it would be more grammatical to say "when I graduated from university" (past) or "when I graduate from university" (future).
Strengths
You answer the likely question directly, giving a clear negative followed by relevant information about your location and work.
Weaknesses
The timing phrase "to work when I graduate university" creates slight ambiguity about whether the move already happened or is planned; clarifying that part would make your response fully on point.
Strengths
The sentence is short and the main idea—that you are not living in your hometown—comes through quickly, which helps listener understanding.
Weaknesses
Because of the word choice and tense, the sentence feels slightly jumbled; for example, "I am already apart from my hometown to work" mixes timing and purpose and would be clearer as "I already moved away from my hometown to work after I graduated from university."
Strengths
You choose common words like "actually" and "already" that add natural emphasis and show an attempt to express nuance.
Weaknesses
The choice "already apart from my hometown" sounds unnatural; the phrase "apart from my hometown" in your sentence would be clearer as "away from my hometown" or "I have left my hometown," which are more natural collocations.

Strengths
Basic grammar is handled well enough for understanding; the contraction "I'm" and subject-verb structure are correct and make the message clear.
Weaknesses
The sentence "I'm living here alone but it has a sufficient space for me" contains two grammatical slips: the progressive "I'm living" is less natural for a stable situation ("I live here alone" is preferred), and the clause "a sufficient space" should omit the article to read "sufficient space."
Strengths
The response is directly on topic and answers a likely question about where and how you live, providing a clear personal statement.
Weaknesses
The reply is very brief and would benefit from added details to fully satisfy a spoken prompt; the single sentence "I'm living here alone but it has a sufficient space for me" could be expanded with information about location, number of rooms, or why the space suits you.
Strengths
The main idea is coherent and easy to follow; listeners can quickly understand your situation from the sentence provided.
Weaknesses
The connector use in "I'm living here alone but it has a sufficient space for me" weakens the flow—the word "but" creates a slight contradiction that feels awkward here; rephrasing to "and" or restructuring to "there is sufficient space for me" would improve the sentence's flow.
Strengths
You used clear, everyday words that communicate your meaning effectively; choosing "sufficient" shows an attempt to use a more precise adjective.
Weaknesses
The phrase "it has a sufficient space for me" reveals a small collocation/article issue: the transcript line "it has a sufficient space for me" sounds slightly unnatural—better options are "there is sufficient space for me" or "enough space for me."

Strengths
Most sentences use basic grammatical structures correctly (for example, "there are several shopping malls nearby" is grammatically sound).
Verb agreement and simple present tense usage are generally correct, which helps communication.
Weaknesses
Some phrasing is awkward and word order could be improved to sound more natural, for example "So for living, it is the best place, I think," which would be clearer as "It's the best place to live, I think."
Strengths
The content is on-topic and focused on features that matter for choosing a place to live, mentioning trash facilities, a post box, nearby shopping malls, and a gym.
The student explicitly connects amenities to daily life, which addresses the likely prompt about why the place is good for living.
Weaknesses
The answer is brief and mostly lists features without explaining why each one is important; for instance, saying "there is a post box, so it is useful for daily living" states usefulness but does not expand on how it helps the speaker's routines.
Strengths
The response follows a clear sequence of ideas: amenities are listed and then a concluding opinion is given, which makes the overall point easy to follow.
Connective words (and, so) are used to link ideas, maintaining a basic flow.
Weaknesses
The speech is somewhat repetitive and choppy due to overuse of "also" and simple listing, as in "And also there are several shopping malls nearby, and also there is a gym," which interrupts smooth cohesion and could be improved with varied connectors or fuller explanations.
Strengths
The student uses everyday nouns that clearly identify useful amenities (for example, "post box," "shopping malls," and "gym"), which makes the message understandable.
The word choices are appropriate for an informal spoken description of a place to live.
Weaknesses
The response shows a limited range and a non‑idiomatic phrase that reduces naturalness, as in "it has a place to trash some things," which would be better expressed as "a place to throw away trash" or "a trash room."

Strengths
Basic sentence structure is correct: "It will be perfect." is a complete, grammatical sentence.
Verb forms are appropriate and tense usage is consistent for the short response.
Weaknesses
Preposition use is inaccurate in the sentence "There is no building against my living veranda," where "against" creates an unnatural construction; alternatives like "next to," "near," or "blocking" would be grammatically and idiomatically better.
Combining the ideas more smoothly would improve grammatical flow; as spoken, the two short sentences feel disconnected, for example the isolated statement "It will be perfect." could be linked to the following clause for better sentence variety.
Strengths
The response appears on-topic for questions about accommodation or suitability: it gives a clear opinion about the situation.
The speaker provides a specific reason (absence of nearby buildings) that supports their evaluation.
Weaknesses
The reply is minimal and lacks supporting detail; the brief claim "It will be perfect." does not explain who or what will be perfect, which limits relevance to broader prompts asking for justification.
Because the response is short, the listener may be left uncertain about context—the line "There is no building against my living veranda" is potentially relevant but would benefit from an explanation of why that matters (view, light, privacy) to fully satisfy many prompts.
Strengths
The two sentences are logically related: a favorable judgment is linked to a physical condition, so the basic communicative intent is clear.
The response is concise and easy to follow at the sentence level.
Weaknesses
The contribution is somewhat abrupt; the short utterance "It will be perfect." followed by "There is no building against my living veranda" feels disjointed and would read more coherently if the speaker connected the ideas explicitly (for example, "It will be perfect because...").
Some wording choices introduce ambiguity that affects flow—the phrase "building against my living veranda" interrupts smooth understanding and forces the listener to infer the intended meaning.
Strengths
The student uses a specific noun, "veranda," which shows some variety beyond very common words like "balcony" or "room."
The adjective "perfect" conveys a clear, expressive evaluation and suits the speaker's intent.
Weaknesses
The collocation is slightly unusual in spoken English; the phrase "living veranda" from the transcript sounds awkward and could be replaced with "veranda off my living room" or simply "my veranda."
Word choice around spatial relationships is imprecise: in "There is no building against my living veranda," the verb "against" is not the best fit for describing nearby structures and leads to ambiguity.

To pronounce the eɪ sound, begin with the tongue pushed somewhat forward but in a neutral position in the mouth. Then, as the jaw closes slightly, move the body of the tongue upward until it is near the tooth ridge--similar to the position of a 'y sound' y. The front sides of the tongue touch the inside of the top teeth at the end of the sound. |

/sh/ |
85% accurate
To create the 'sh sound' ʃ, air is forced between a wide groove in the center of the front of the tongue and the back of the tooth ridge. The sides of the blade of the tongue may touch the side teeth. The lips are kept slightly tense, and may protrude somewhat during the production of the sound. This sound is a continuous consonant, meaning that it should be capable of being produced for a few seconds with even and smooth pronunciation for the entire duration. |

To create the 'ah sound' ə the body of the tongue is relaxed and set low in the mouth. The sides of the tongue lightly touch the bottom teeth during the formation of the sound. The jaw is kept in a neutral position, and the lips are relaxed. It is very similar to the 'other ah sound' ʌ. |

To create the 'n sound' n, the air is blocked from leaving the mouth by pressing the tip against the tooth ridge and the sides of the front of the tongue against the side teeth. The soft palate drops, allowing air to pass out through the nose. The sound is voiced, so the vocal cords vibrate while producing it. |

To create the 'aw sound' ɔ the entire tongue is pushed back and kept low during the pronunciation of the 'aw sound' ɔ. The bottom side teeth can be felt alongside the front of the tongue during the sound. The back of the tongue has only a slight rounding upward at the very rear of the mouth. The lips are made into an oval shape, and may stick slightly outward. |

To create the 'f sound' f, the jaw is held nearly closed. The upper backside of the bottom lip is pressed very lightly into the bottom of the top teeth. Air is pushed out the mouth between the top teeth and the upper backside of the bottom lip. This sound is to be a continuous consonant, meaning that it should be capable of being produced for a few seconds with even and smooth pronunciation for the entire duration. The lips are kept mostly relaxed during the production of the f. A common error English language learners make is overproducing this sound by curling the bottom lip under the top teeth. This creates problems when linking other sounds to and from the f. |

Strengths
The sentence shows use of modal and conditional structure with "it depends on", which is grammatically appropriate for expressing uncertainty.
Weaknesses
There are issues with subject and verb form that make the sentence ungrammatical, as in "I don't think relocate my living for now, but it depends on the work or personal situation." A clearer grammatical structure would include a subject and appropriate verb form, for example "I don't think I'll relocate for now."
Strengths
The response directly answers the likely prompt about willingness to relocate, stating a clear position and acknowledging conditional factors such as work and personal circumstances.
Weaknesses
The reply is brief and could give more detail about what types of work or personal situations would change the decision; the current line "I don't think relocate my living for now, but it depends on the work or personal situation." communicates the main idea but is somewhat general.
Strengths
The overall idea is coherent: the student does not plan to move now but leaves room for change depending on circumstances, so the listener can follow the intent.
Weaknesses
Awkward word order and missing elements interrupt smooth flow, illustrated by "I don't think relocate my living for now, but it depends on the work or personal situation." Rearranging to "I don't think I'll relocate right now; it depends on work or personal circumstances" would improve clarity and rhythm.
Strengths
The student chooses clear, everyday words like "relocate", "work", and "personal situation", which keep the message accessible.
Weaknesses
Some word choices are non‑idiomatic, which affects naturalness; for instance the phrase "relocate my living" in the sentence "I don't think relocate my living for now, but it depends on the work or personal situation." Choosing "relocate my home", "move", or "change where I live" would sound more natural and precise.

IELTS Speaking Part 1: Response Templates
Part 1 lasts 4–5 minutes. The examiner asks short questions on 2–3 familiar topics (hometown, work, studies, hobbies, food, weather, etc.). Each answer should be 2–4 sentences — long enough to show range, short enough to sound natural.
Use the same three-step skeleton for every question: Direct answer → Extension → Detail / Example.
The three-step template
| Step | What to do |
| 1. Direct answer | Answer the question in your first sentence. If the question is "Where is your hometown?", say where it is. If it is "Do you enjoy cooking?", say yes or no right away. |
| 2. Extension | Add one reason, explanation, or piece of extra information. This turns a one-sentence reply into a developed answer. |
| 3. Detail / Example | Give a specific example, personal experience, or vivid detail. This is what separates a Band 6 answer from a Band 7+ answer. |
Template for descriptive questions
Example question: “Where is your hometown?”
Direct answer: [Name the place and give a basic fact] — “My hometown is [place], which is [short description].”
Extension: [Add a notable characteristic or context] — “It’s known for [feature], and [additional fact].”
Detail / Example: [Add a personal touch] — “What I find [adjective] is [specific detail or experience].”
Example response:
[Direct answer] My hometown is Vancouver, which is a city on the west coast of Canada. [Extension] It’s a very cosmopolitan place with people from many different ethnic backgrounds, basically from all over the world. [Detail] That kind of diversity is something I really appreciate, because it means you can find authentic food from almost any country.
Template for “like / dislike” questions
Example question: “What do you like about your hometown?”
Direct answer: [State what you like clearly] — “What I like most about it is [main thing].”
Extension: [Explain why or add context] — “There’s also [related positive point].”
Detail / Example: [Give a concrete example] — “For example, [specific place, habit, or experience].”
Example response:
[Direct answer] What I like about it is that it’s quite diverse and open-minded. [Extension] There’s also a strong cultural atmosphere, with lots of art events throughout the year. [Detail] There are cafes across the city and unique little shops on the outskirts that I love exploring on weekends.
Template for yes / no opinion questions
Example question: “Do you think you will continue to live in your hometown?”
Direct answer: [Say yes or no, then state your position] — “[Yes / No], I [plan / do not plan] to [restate topic].”
Extension: [Give a reason] — “The main reason is [why].”
Detail / Example: [Add a personal plan or specific reason] — “For instance, [concrete plan or circumstance].”
Example response:
[Direct answer] No, I don’t plan to live in my hometown in the future. [Extension] I wouldn’t have the same opportunities for employment and travel there as I would somewhere else. [Detail] I’m actually hoping to study abroad next year, which would be nearly impossible to arrange from my village.
Template for “how often / how much” questions
Example question: “How often do you cook at home?”
Direct answer: [State frequency or amount] — “I [activity] [frequency].”
Extension: [Explain why or give context] — “This is mainly because [reason].”
Detail / Example: [Give a specific habit or anecdote] — “For example, [what you typically do, when, or what you make].”
Example response:
[Direct answer] I cook at home almost every day, usually dinner. [Extension] This is mainly because eating out is quite expensive where I live, and I also prefer knowing exactly what goes into my food. [Detail] On weeknights I usually make simple stir-fries or pasta, but on weekends I sometimes try more complicated recipes from online videos.
Quick phrase bank for Part 1
| Direct answer | “My hometown is…,” “I usually…,” “What I like most is…,” “Yes, definitely…,” “Not really, because…” |
| Extension | “The main reason is…,” “This is because…,” “It’s also worth mentioning that…,” “On top of that…” |
| Detail / Example | “For example…,” “For instance…,” “In my case…,” “What I mean is…,” “A good example would be…” |
| Hedging | “I suppose…,” “I’d say…,” “To be honest…,” “It depends, but generally…” |
IELTS Speaking Part 1: Tips
Part 1 is designed to ease you into the test. The examiner asks simple, personal questions about familiar topics. Your goal is to sound natural and fluent, not rehearsed.
Tip 1: Answer in 2–4 sentences, not one
A single sentence sounds abrupt. Two to four sentences show you can extend an idea naturally. But do not give a 30-second monologue either — Part 1 is a conversation, not a speech.
Too short: “I live in Seoul.”
Good length: “I live in Seoul, which is the capital of South Korea. It’s a very fast-paced city with amazing public transport. I especially enjoy the street food scene around Myeongdong.”
Tip 2: Answer the question first
Always give a direct answer in your first sentence. The examiner should immediately know your response before you start explaining.
Avoid: “Well, that’s an interesting question. I guess there are many things I could say about this topic…”
Better: “Yes, I enjoy cooking quite a lot, mainly because…”
Tip 3: Do not memorize answers
Examiners are trained to detect rehearsed responses. Memorized answers sound unnatural and will hurt your fluency score. Instead, practise the structure (Direct answer → Extension → Detail) so you can apply it to any question.
It is fine to prepare topic vocabulary (words about hometown, food, hobbies, etc.), but do not script whole sentences.
Tip 4: Use natural fillers, not silence
Short pauses are normal. If you need a moment to think, use a natural filler rather than going silent:
“Well, let me think…” / “That’s a good question…” / “Actually…” / “To be honest…”
Keep these short — one filler phrase is enough. Then move on to your answer.
Tip 5: Show range with natural vocabulary
You do not need advanced academic words in Part 1. Instead, use precise everyday vocabulary and occasional collocations or idiomatic expressions that fit the topic:
| Instead of | Try |
| “It is good.” | “It’s really convenient” / “It suits my lifestyle” / “It’s right up my alley” |
| “I like it very much.” | “I’m quite fond of it” / “I really appreciate” / “I’m a big fan of” |
| “It is bad.” | “It can be a bit challenging” / “It’s not ideal” / “It leaves a lot to be desired” |
Tip 6: Do not be afraid to say “it depends”
If a question does not have a clear yes/no answer for you, it is perfectly fine to say “It depends” — as long as you explain what it depends on:
“It depends on my mood, really. On weekdays I prefer staying in and reading, but on weekends I usually go out with friends.”
This actually shows more range than a rigid yes or no.
Useful vocabulary for Part 1 questions about hometown
What is it like where you live?
Well, I live in Toronto, which is a quite cosmopolitan city in Canada. You can see people from different ethic backgrounds, from all over the world. It is also a very vibrant city. There are a lot of artists, art galleries, and museums.
Where I live is a very lively place. People are always excited on the street, and bars are always packed. But sometimes, I feel it is a bit too hectic on holidays.
I live in the suburbs. It is kind of a rural area. There are a lot of farms, and some of the buildings are run-down. But it is a close-knit community.
I live in a residential area, in a town, in India. It is kind of an old city, really. A lot of buildings are run-down, but we have got some quaint shops.
Could you tell me a bit more about your hometown?
My hometown is located in Italy. It is a sprawling city, so it takes a while to get around in it. But it has developed better public transport recently.
My hometown, Tokyo, is a huge metropolitan city. People there are very urban, and there are a lot of contemporary stores. It is also a very touristic city. You can see tourists all the time.
What do you like about your hometown?
What I like about my hometown is that there are many orchards and vineyards. It is a truly picturesque place. Not many places in the world have that kind of view.
I like the convenience and modernness of my hometown. There are a lot of convenience stores, pop-up stores, and futuristic shops. I also like the night view of my city. At night, the high-rise buildings with lights on make for a really beautiful scene.
I like how the people in my hometown are so friendly. It’s a really close-knit community and there are many mom and pop shops, which are hard to find in big cities.
I like its cultural atmosphere. Within the city, you can see beautiful pavement cafes. On the outskirts of the city, there are some quaint stores that sell interesting handmade stuff.
What do you not like about your hometown?
I suppose my least favorite thing about it is the lack of fun things to do or see. Most shops are boarded-up. It’s not the most exciting place, so sometimes I feel a little bored.
What I dislike about my hometown is how expensive it is to live in. The cost of living there is too high. You can hardly find an affordable shop. Upmarket shops are all over the place.
How has your hometown changed over the years?
It has developed much better public transport, especially the metro, which has really improved the overall accessibility of the city. In the suburb, there have been a few improvements as well: several new chain stores and out-of-town supermarkets have appeared, which we didn’t have before.
Useful vocabulary for Part 1 questions about weather
What is the climate like in your country?
The climate is fairly hot and humid most of the year, with a very mild winter and a rainy season. There are also typhoons that tend to come around at the beginning of summer.
It’s quite changeable, really. We have periods of time with clear blue skies, then all of a sudden we’ll have a torrential rain.
In my country, we generally have a very mild climate. During summer, we occasionally have torrential rains and flash floods.
What is the weather like in your country during summer?
Most of the time, it is warm, but when there is a heatwave, it is boiling hot (sweltering hot). We may have plenty of scorchers.
What is the weather like in your country during winter?
As a rule, it’s freezing cold in the winter. I can literally see my breath in my room. But we still get a few sunny spells, occasionally.
It is chilly during winter in my country. It is quite comfortable, but it can get frosty when it hails.
Well, it typically snows. Usually, we have snow flurries, but sometimes we may have a big snow blizzard. If you walk outside, you will just see sleet on the road and
slush on the pavement (AE sidewalk). You can even see icicles hanging from the roof.
What’s your favourite kind of weather?
I love cool, overcast weather. I like when I can wear a light jacket and not feel hot at all.
I like mild and windy weather, to some extent. I enjoy it when the weather is a little bit hot but when there is a breeze that can take away the heat from me.
Is there any type of weather you really don’t like?
Yes, I loathe hot and humid weather. It makes me feel sick and tired when I get too sweaty and hot. Besides, such weather can ruin my clothes.
I’m not fond of the heatwaves that we often get during the summer. It becomes super hot and dry. And I end up feeling thirsty and sweaty all the time.
I dislike gloomy weather. It makes me feel depressed. I also hate the weather with big gales. It turns my hair into a mess. Who could possibly like that?
Does it bother you much when it rains?
It depends. If it is just a drizzle, then it doesn’t bother me. But if it is a downpour, it bothers me a lot because I get so soaked.
Well! If it is just a gentle (light) rain, then I am okay with it. But if I get caught in a torrential rain and get drenched, that I really hate.
