IELTS Speaking Part-1 Sky

Do you like to watch the sky?

Yes, I do! In Andalucia, Spain, where I live, we’re blessed with over 300 days of sunshine each year. There’s nothing more relaxing than lying on the beach during summer afternoons, gazing up at the clear, blue sky. The sunsets here are particularly stunning, often showcasing colors reminiscent of cotton candy. Living on the tenth floor provides a fantastic view, so I frequently watch the sunset from my window.

What is the sky like at night in your hometown?

The night sky in my hometown is absolutely marvelous. Thanks to the minimal light pollution, the stars are incredibly clear. I often head to the beach at night with a blanket to admire the brilliance of the stars. It’s a breathtaking experience that makes me appreciate the vastness of the universe. There's something deeply romantic about stargazing in such a serene setting.

Do you like to watch stars?

Absolutely! Stargazing is a very romantic activity, so I enjoy it with my boyfriend. I also like to go stargazing with friends. We play a fun game where we try to identify different shapes in the star patterns and call them out to each other.

Have you ever taken a course about stars?

No, I haven’t formally studied Astronomy because it wasn’t offered at my school. However, I’ve always been interested in it. Luckily, my grandfather was passionate about astronomy and shared his knowledge with me. He even gifted me an encyclopedia filled with fascinating information about stars and the universe.

What’s your favorite star?

My favorite is the Orion constellation, which is prominent during winter nights. I find it fascinating because it features a variety of celestial objects, including a massive red star that could potentially explode, a young blue star, and a nebula where new stars are forming. It’s a complex and magnificent constellation.

What’s the best time of day to watch the sky?

I think the best time is during the evening just before sunset or early in the morning. At these times, the sky often displays beautiful colors, and it's peaceful to watch the transition from day to night or night to day. The sunrise and sunset offer breathtaking views and are ideal moments to appreciate the sky's beauty.

Do you prefer watching the sky during the day or at night?

I prefer watching the sky at night. The night sky is more intriguing because of the stars and constellations. It feels magical to see the stars twinkling and sometimes catch a glimpse of shooting stars. The daytime sky is beautiful, especially on clear days, but the night sky offers a sense of wonder and tranquility that I find irresistible.

How does the sky in your hometown compare to other places you’ve been?

The sky in my hometown is quite exceptional due to the low light pollution, allowing for excellent stargazing. Compared to other places I’ve visited, where light pollution can obscure the stars, my hometown offers a clearer view of the night sky. The sunrises and sunsets are also particularly stunning here, making the sky a significant part of my daily life.
