Talk About Your Favourite Weather- IELTS Cue Card

Sample Answer

I am an absolute nature lover and am always awestruck by the natural phenomena that change every now and then. It has always been a matter of intrigue for me. However, besides being beguiled by the complexity of these phenomena, something that I am even more interested in is the variety in seasons and weather and especially the weather that we have in the spring season. I am quite a balanced personality myself and in that case, I love everything which is just balanced well and is not extreme at any end. Therefore, the weather where there is not too much scorching heat and not too much blood-chilling cold is what I love the most.

This kind of weather only actuates in the spring season around Feb-March, and honestly, that is the reason why these months are one of my favourite as I do not have to be fidgeted about wearing too many clothes or worrying about the heat rash that I generally get given the fact that I am sensitive to heat.

Usually, there is nothing peculiar or eccentric that I do or, for that matter, I don’t have any planned endeavours to do in this particular weather. However, it has got more to do with my comfort and composure that I could live my life smoothly in this particular weather.

Part 3 Questions

• How does the weather (or the weather forecast) affect the activities people do?

The weather decides the fate of a lot of activities. For instance, if we plan to go for an excursion, rain could ruin the plans. Also, weather forecasts can prognosticate the weather of a particular day well in advance and in that way, it becomes a lot easier for us to determine our plans for the day and whether to execute our plans or not.

• Why do some people dislike some kind of weather?

It highly depends upon the persona of a person. For example, some might love when it drizzles, while some might completely despise rain. Similarly, some might like basking in the sun, while some might not like to tan. Hence, it has more to do with personal preferences.

• Do you think the weather has an influence on people’s moods?

I guess yes, it does. To illustrate, people might not want to step out of their homes when it is too sunny to handle and this way, some might get irksome and tetchy as they could not execute some crucial action. Also, pleasant weather generally casts a soothing effect on the minds of people.

• How do you feel about the climate in recent years?

Well, the climate has been going haywire in recent years. It seems as though the word ‘balance’ has lost its true meaning. The most unexpected weather comes to the fore when it is highly unlikely to come. I believe humans are culpable in this regard.
