(2024) IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic Rain

Sample Answer 1:
Yes. Not like most people who love sunny days, I’m the most excited when it rains.

I love the sound of rain, that pitter patter sound knocking on the window is the most soothing sound.

When I was little, I used to go puddle jumping on a rainy day. Putting on my rain boots and rain coat, jumping in the puddle, listening to the splash sound. It was the best.

Sample Answer 2:
Well it really depends. I mean it’s really annoying if it rains cats and dogs cuz it may wet myself when I go out.

But if it’s drizzling then I feel comfortable for the reason that I live in subtropical area, where weather is scorching as well as muggy in summer.

So a bit of rain can bring down the temperature and also make me calm down.

Answer 3:
Not at all, who doesn’t like sunny days? To me, rain can negatively affect my mood and emotions, and I always feel sad and gloomy on those days.

Also, I really hate traffic delays, which are just so common on rainy days. Rain makes roads slippery and often causes traffic congestion due to accidents.

Sample Answer 1:
The place where I live is super wet all year round. It rains all the time.

That’s why it’s a very green place. The weather is pretty unpredictable,it could be sunny for one second, and then a heavy downpour for another. I always carry an umbrella with me wherever I go.

Sample Answer 2:
According to my observation, in summer there is torrential rain every now and
then.

But compared to equatorial areas such as tropical rainforest, the precipitation in my city is much lower and the duration of raining season will not last for so long.

Sample Answer 1:
I would say I prefer to live in a place that is wet. As wet weather makes everything look so green and energetic.

And plus, the humidity in the air is really good for my skin.

Sample Answer 2:
Personally, I prefer to live in wet areas for the reason that if I leave my skin bare for a period of time in dry areas, it will start to dehydrate as the dry air sucks moisture out of the skin, which makes me feel uncomfortable.

Even worse, I may get a nosebleed on account of the dry weather

It depends. I usually stick with my goals and plans because I’m a really organized person and if a plan goes wrong, it could affect the progress of everything else.

So, I would take preventative measures such as reschedule meetings to online meetings instead of in-person ones, or plan extra travel time to ensure I arrive on time.
