Describe an activity that you find enjoyable

You should say:

  • What this activity is
  • How you know about this activity 
  • When you usually do this activity

And explain how you feel when you do this activity. 

Sample Answer 1

“It’s simple to describe a favorite hobby! I could mention other ideas, but I’ll focus on one in particular: writing essays with my buddies. It’s fantastic since it helps us improve our English while also allowing us to have fun discussing together. We also utilize Cambridge University vocabulary lists to help us remember new words and phrases rapidly. We usually devote a few hours of free time every day to IELTS preparation, therefore we make an effort not to get distracted by other activities like watching TV or playing video games.

Aside from that, we make it a point to exercise every day in order to maintain our physical health and eat nutritious foods. Yoga is something I enjoy practicing in the morning. When studying and learning, staying healthy is essential! And, of course, to avoid stress! For example, if I’m writing an essay about the Great Depression, my friends will tell me about their favorite memories of 1930s America while I type it out in Microsoft Word. We keep each other entertained!

Recently, someone asked me, “What happens if you don’t have enough free time each week to cover all four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing?” It’s a typical issue because it might be challenging when we have a hectic schedule or are suffering with work commitments. However, we strive to practice all of the abilities in short bursts of spare time.

We are really lucky to be able to communicate in English, which is a talent that most people cannot grasp without living abroad for years and learning from native speakers. I believe it is critical to remember this when you are scared or anxious about your forthcoming IELTS exam! You’ve already accomplished something that many others will never be able to do: you’ve learned another language so well because you didn’t have access to a native teacher as a youngster or never had the opportunity to take an English course.

Preparing for IELTS takes a lot of work, but it’s worth it because if I obtain the band score I need, I’ll be able to study at Cambridge University in the future!”

Follow-up Question 1:

How important do you think it is to learn English?

Response: “Being the universal language, learning English is extremely significant. I can say it is as important as learning your native language. We need English not only when we travel or go to other countries but in our everyday lives as well. You go to the supermarket and products and directions on how to use them are in English. Also, news channels that inform us of what’s happening around the world are in English, so I strongly believe that learning the English language is highly essential.” 

Follow-up Question 2: 

Which do you prefer, doing your hobbies with your friends, or doing it alone? 

Response: “It depends, there are hobbies that I enjoy doing with my friends while there are also those that I would rather be alone. Shopping for example, is something I like doing with my friends because I get to ask them what they think about something that I want to buy. On the other hand, when I want to paint, I’d rather be by myself because then, I can think clearly on what I want to paint.”

Sample Answer 2

“Well, there are a variety of activities that I enjoy doing. Working in my home’s kitchen garden, reading a book, cleaning my bedroom, surfing the internet, watching a movie on television, and so on. But, in this case, I’d like to discuss a hobby of mine that I enjoy doing while I’m alone at home: cooking. I enjoy cooking for myself as well as my lovely family. My mother is an excellent cook, and I learned how to cook from her. When I’m bored, I go to the kitchen and experiment with different recipes.

To be honest, I don’t want to eat at a food stand in a market because I know that many times food is produced in unsanitary conditions that are harmful to anyone. So, I cook in my kitchen at home. I enjoy experimenting with new dishes. For example, I can make any kind of cake, Chinese food, Italian food, Dhokla, Thai, and so on.

Furthermore, I occasionally prepare special foods for my family members based on their preferences and surprise them. They are overjoyed when they see their favorite foods. I recall being alone at home a few weeks back when other family members went outside for work or school. That day was a holiday for me. I was bored. I walked into the kitchen and began preparing a healthy supper. I chose to create a special meal called “Gajar Ka Halwa,” which is a favorite of my mother’s. It was made with milk, sugar, butter, carrots, and dried fruits. I tasted it after I had cooked it. It was delectable.

I showed it to my mom when she returned home. She ate it and felt ecstatic. She kissed me as a result of this. I was on cloud nine at the time since a smile on her face brightened my day. So, when I’m alone at home, I like to cook.”

Follow-up Question 1:

Is it important for someone to have a hobby? Why do you think so?

Response: “Absolutely! I think that doing something you enjoy during your free time is important, especially if you are a student or an employee. You need to have some time where you can take a break from school or from work. We need to do something relaxing or our health might get affected.”

Follow-up Question 2: 

What do you think about those who prefer extreme activities as their hobby?

Response: “I have so much admiration for them. I’m certain it takes a lot of courage and confidence for them to do the things that they do. Life is short, and if that’s what they want to do, they are free to do so. I, on the other hand, wouldn’t opt to go skydiving or bungee jumping as a hobby. I think they’re dangerous, and I’m just too scared.”
