IELTS Speaking Part 1 Holidays
1. What do you do in your holidays?
As a working person, a sizeable portion of my time goes towards handling conflicts adroitly at my workplace. Due to this reason, I use holidays as a stress buster. To do so, I unwind myself by spending time with my near and dear ones. Apart from this, I indulge in adventure sports like bungee jumping and scuba diving.
2. Who do you usually spend the holiday with?
Being a social person who spends holidays with friends and family members appeals to me. In their company, I get into a flow state and enjoy it to the maximum extent.
3. Do you prefer to travel alone or in a group?
Group travelling appeals to me because it provides wholesome entertainment. Moreover, while travelling to a new place, being in a group is beneficial for safety reasons.
4. Why are holidays important to you?
Holidays are imperative because I get a much-needed respite from my daily routine. Moreover, it helps me break the monotony and enjoy my life fully.
5. Where would you go if you could take a holiday anywhere? Why?
Being a voracious traveller, I would like to visit far-off places such as Antarctica and Greenland. I would love to spend my holidays in a harsh climate.
6. What is your favourite type of holiday destination?
There are a lot of destinations on my bucket list where I would like to spend my holidays but apart from that there is a city in Cuba in America where I would like to spend my holidays if I get any opportunity because there are a lot of things which make it my favourite one.
First of all, it is close to the ocean, so it creates a very peaceful environment over there. It is a very remote area, and few people visit it except tourists.
Apart from that, it offers free visa entry to Canadians, and it doesn’t matter who are students or workers they offer a free visa to everyone; it is cost-effective with the high quality of activities offered, so for that reason, this city is my favourite one to spend a holiday.
7. Do you prefer to spend your holidays relaxing on a beach or exploring new cities?
It is the availability of time. If I have plenty of time, I prefer to spend on famous beaches like Hawaii, Miami, and Goa Beach. And if I have a short period of vacation, like two to three days, then I would like to explore places, and in exploring, I would like to go hiking, I will visit two different places, and I will explore the plants, the species, and the places over there. So, I would like to feel close to nature and spend quality time in it.
8. What are the benefits of holidays for personal well-being and stress relief?
There are countless benefits to taking a break from our monotony life. First, it also rejuvenates us and helps our brain and body cells get some relaxation from our daily hard work. After spending some time, I think a person will be successful after getting some rest from work and taking holidays. After that, after the holidays, they may feel very fresh and rejuvenated, so after this, they will focus on their 100 concentration on work, which is a good thing. So yes, that’s why it plays a very important role in taking a break from our working schedule.
9. Can you describe a memorable holiday experience you have had?
Yes, I like the fact that I am a traveller. I have visited many places, and among all my locations, my favourite one is our family trip to Dubai. It happened two years ago, just before coming to Canada. I visited there with my family because I had to come to Canada, and then my mother told us to spend some quality time together in, you know, like, our best destination. So I don’t think there is none other than Dubai, so we visited there. We explored things like the Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, and their beaches. My favourite activity was scuba diving there, which was great. We enjoyed a lot, so yeah, that’s the holiday I spent with my family, and it is very close to my heart.
10. Do you think travelling to different countries during holidays is important?
Yes, I think it would benefit a person to learn about different countries and travel worldwide. Apart from that, we can also learn about other countries’ traditions, customs, and rituals, and because of this, we get a lot of information. It also creates globalization, and it’s really important for a country because it helps them to build up their economy because of the tourists.
11. What activities do you enjoy doing the most during the holidays?
As I said, I love to explore, and I love learning new things during my holidays. The new things could be the traditions, other people’s culture, favourite foods, traditional dresses, etc. I recently learned about England’s tradition of long coats, and they like shorts. So definitely, if I get an opportunity to visit England, I will try to wear British costumes.
12. How do you think holidays contribute to cultural exchange and understanding between people from different countries?
Yes, I think we will get a chance to learn about other countries’ cultures while holidaying. And it also helps to learn about the history and the traditions of the specific country where we like spending our holidays and also we can get a lot of knowledge about it.
13. In your opinion, are holidays a time for relaxation or adventure?
I think it’s very from the person some like, who seems to like relaxation. I think the people involved are workaholics who put too much towards work. Hence, it is like relaxation for them to take holidays, and if I talk about someone who loves exploring things. He likes or maybe wants to be close to nature and is a person who likes to do adventurous things. It could be adventurous for him, so I count all this. It depends on the person and how they may take their holidays.
14. What are your plans for your next holiday, and what do you hope to experience or achieve during that?
Well, I do not have any specific plans for the holiday, but if I get an opportunity, I would like to visit Montreal, a state in Canada, and in the month, it is a city in Canada. I heard that this city is based on French culture and that most people are related to French culture there. All the cities, buildings, monuments, and the environment there give us a French look. It is highly recommended in Canada, so I will visit there if possible.
