IELTS Topics: Weather

Posted by David S. Wills | Oct 10, 2019 | IELTS Tips | 0

There are certain topics in the IELTS exam which can be considered quite common. They are not guaranteed to appear in your next exam, but they are common enough that you really should spend some time studying them. One of these super common IELTS topics is weather .

I’m sure that when you first began learning English, you learned to talk about the weather. In my first teaching job, I taught this topic to kindergarten students. Even those cute little 3-year-olds could say, “It’s a sunny day!” or “It is raining.” Of course, for IELTS you need to be able to produce more advanced language than that!

Today, I want to tell you all about weather as a topic for your IELTS test. I’ll explain a little about how it might appear in the exam, and also give you some useful language for describing it.

IELTS Speaking Questions about Weather

The IELTS speaking test is by far the most likely part of the exam to contain questions about weather. This topic could appear in any of the three parts of the speaking test, but it is most likely to occur in part one as the topic is rather shallow. In part one, you aren’t expected to say very much, and so this is the best place for simple questions about things like weather. Here are ten example questions about weather from IELTS speaking part 1:

What’s the weather like where you live?
Does the weather affect your mood?
Do you like sunny days?
What type of weather do you like best?
Does the weather ever affect what you do?
Does it bother you much when it rains?
What do you like to do on sunny days?
Does it rain a lot in your hometown?
Which months have the best weather in your country?
Does rain ever affect transportation in your hometown?

All of those questions are quite simple, factual matters. There is no real complexity to them because they would be asked in part one and you will only be expected to give a basic answer. For example, let’s look at two of the questions from above:

It rains a lot in my hometown, even in the summer. Sometimes it’s sunny but it’s never really very warm.
I really like warm, sunny days the best. When the weather is like that, you can go out and do interesting things rather than being stuck indoors.

You can see that in those answers, I have given only two sentences as a reply. You might think that this is not enough, but actually it is perfectly fine. Notice that I also didn’t use any complex vocabulary. This is also acceptable because for part one the questions really will be simple. You might have a chance to show off more in part three, but don’t worry about it. Sometimes it’s best to use simple language with a high degree of accuracy.

Part two is a little harder to predict, and it’s less likely that you will get a weather question here, but it could still happen. Two cue cards that you might possibly encounter will ask you to do the following:

Describe your favourite kind of weather.
Describe a time when you experienced extreme weather conditions.

In each case, you would need to follow the cue card and give an appropriate response. Here is a video about describing a season, which has some overlap with the topic of weather.

Part three might have questions about weather as well, but remember that here they will be more complex and abstract. In this section, questions often get into morality, gender, age, and other difficult issues. There isn’t really too much that could be said about weather here, but you might find something like the following:

Do you think that weather affects people’s behaviour?

Notice that this is similar to a question from part one, but now we are talking about people in general , rather than your personal opinion. This is much harder to do, and of course here you are expected to speak for longer. You might give an answer like this:

I think that weather definitely affects people’s behaviour. You just have to go outside on a sunny day to see how friendly people are compared to when it’s raining. Also, when the weather is really bad you see people looking depressed and often acting with impatience towards others. People do things like fight over taxis or push rudely past each other when it’s rainy and cold. So, yeah, it definitely has an impact.

This answer is much longer than my first ones, and you can see how each sentence sort of adds a little more to the idea. There is also a basic introduction and conclusion as I tell my listener what I think and then summarize what I said. But is there much difficult weather vocabulary? Not really. There isn’t too much that you can really say in a question like this, as it relates more to a person’s mood than actual weather.

Weather for IELTS Writing

It is less common that you will encounter the topic of weather for IELTS writing, but it could still happen. For one example, you may see weather appear in task 1 as you have to describe patterns of rainfall or hours of sunshine. However, this really wouldn’t require much knowledge of the weather, as you are just expected to describe what you see.

For task 2, there is definitely more scope but the topic of weather is a bit limited. Instead, you would probably see it arise within the greater topic of environment . For example, look at the following question and sample answer. I will highlight some useful vocabulary that may be helpful for you in giving more complex descriptions of weather and the related issue of global warming.

IELTS Writing Task 2 Question: Weather

Global warming is one of the biggest threats to our environment. What causes global warming? What solutions are there to this problem?

Sample Answer

It is clear that the earth’s climate is changing due to human activity. The weather is growing increasingly erratic , and temperatures are soaring in many places. This essay will explore the reasons for this, as well as some possible solutions.

Our modern style of living is causing huge damage to the planet in a number of ways. For one thing, people want constant comfort in their homes, and this means huge amounts of energy must be generated to provide them with electricity, not to mention the production of goods that make them feel happy. As such, power stations and factories around the world ch urn out huge volumes of emissions that go straight into the atmosphere and cause terrible damage. This is compounded by emissions from cars and airplanes, which are also continually rising as the population grows and people become more mobile. Altogether, these cause global warming by changing the earth’s atmosphere and trapping heat .

The problem needs to be dealt with immediately or else there will be no chance of saving the planet later. Governments around the world need to work together to stamp out toxic emissions from factories, power stations, and transportation. Once lowered, these should also be offset by planting more trees to replace carbon dioxide with oxygen. Doing all this will take a massive effort, but it is important that the world is in agreement. Primarily, the responsibility falls on the shoulders of governments, who will need to impose regulations to stop corporations and individuals from perpetrating more destruction upon the environment .

In conclusion, the earth is dying because of human actions, and the whole world will need to act immediately to reverse the damage.

IELTS Reading and Listening Topic: Weather

I don’t really recommend preparing for IELTS reading and listening in terms of topic because actually the topics here are much wider, particularly for reading. In the reading test, you could be given a passage about almost anything, and for listening the final lecture is pretty much the same. Theoretically, any of those could well relate to weather, but you wouldn’t really be expected to know that much about it. Instead, you’d just be expected to have the basic English skills required to pick apart the grammar and main ideas.

Of course, knowing about the weather is useful and you should definitely study it. Reading and listening to English sources like news articles is always helpful and if these are about weather, it may give you a slightly better chance at IELTS listening and reading. (Pro tip: Try watching the weather forecast in English.)

Important Language for Discussing the Weather

As we have seen, most of the questions that are likely to arise in IELTS relating to the topic of weather are actually quite simple, and you wouldn’t need to know complex terminology for the topic. It would be enough to know words like hot, cold, rain, sun, etc. Of course, you also need to know the noun and adjective forms:

Most that is pretty simple, but if you want to impress the examiner a little more, you can try using slightly more specific language. By this, I mean that you don’t just have to say “rain” or “rainy.” It rains a lot in the UK, so we have many words for this type of weather. 😄

We can use other nouns to describe particular kinds of rain:

We can also use an adjective to modify the word “rain”:

Driving rain
Pouring rain
Torrential rain
Freezing rain

We could also use some verbs to talk about how it was raining:

The rain battered down around us.
It was pouring rain all night.
The rain seemed to go right through us.
It just sprinkled down for an hour and then stopped.

You see, it is possible to extend your vocabulary a little from “rain” to using a wider range of language. None of those words or phrases is particularly “advanced” but they all offer a chance to go beyond the most basic and obvious term.

When talking about weather, there are different types of word that we can use. I showed you above that we can vary how we talk about rain by using verbs, adjectives, and nouns. Well, that is possible for some types of weather.

We can say “it is + adjective”:

It is sunny.
It is rainy.

Or “it is a(n) adjective + day”:

It is a sunny day.
It is a rainy day.

We can also say “it is verb+ing”:

It is raining.
It is snowing.

Or we can even use “there +noun”:

There is snow outside.
There will be thunder later.

Some words can be adapted to all forms:

It’s raining! (verb)
It’s rainy! (adjective)
There’s been a lot of rain recently. (noun)

However, others can’t:

It’s sunning!
It’s sunny!
There’s been a lot of sunshine recently.

Here is a PPT I made for my former students. It contains some interesting language about weather. I recommend that you download it and play it on your computer so that you can challenge yourself without seeing the answers first.

I would like to mention here that I have missed out some apparently obvious questions from above. The questions I might have also included were things like, “What’s your favourite season?” Actually, I feel that there is a slight distinction between seasons and weather , and so I will keep this particular article devoted to the latter. If you want to learn how to talk about seasons for IELTS, you can check this link .

It could also be argued that there is some crossover into the topic of climate change and environment because obviously the current phenomenon of global warming is related to the weather. However, I will also leave this aside for now and just focus on more basic weather questions.

IELTS Speaking Part 1: The Weather

09/06/2022 11:17 AM

General Rules:

Here are some general rules about Part 1 that you may find useful. The point of Task 1 is for you to answer shortly to many questions. Think of it like an interview where you need to answer questions about yourself. You should:

Keep it short. When you practice, in general try to answer in 15 to 20 seconds per question.

Give at least 1 reason and 1 real-life example. again very general but try to have at least 1 real example in your answer., talk about yourself. this part is all related to you (if the question doesn't say another person)..

So, lets take a look at some questions:

Vocabulary related to the topic

Sentence starters and linking words, idioms or special phrases, what's the weather like where you live.

This is where I live right now. (China, Zhuhai)

I live in a small seaside city called Zhuhai, and as a southern Chinese city , the weather is mainly hot and humid . The summer lasts for quite a while , and some people joke about it being over six months long . The temperatures can go up to 35 in the summer but do get down to 10 in the short winter .

My Personal Answer:

Do you prefer cold weather or hot weather?

I prefer the warm and sunny weather of the summer. This is my favorite time of the year when I can enjoy a nice walk in the park , absorb some sunshine and feel warm and comfortable . I don't like cold, at all .

Do you prefer dry weather or wet weather?

Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast when how often.

Well, as we all have smartphones these days, I receive it directly on my screen . Every time I turn my phone on , I see a notification and an icon of the weather forecast . Now If I want to learn more information , I could click on it and get a detailed forecast . I don't do that so often though. I think the icon is more than enough for me to know the temperature and the type of weather I have to expect .

Is the weather important for your daily life?

Is the weather important for your mood.

In this blog on Weather IELTS Speaking Part 1, you’ll face questions related to weather/climate. On this steady note, to let you know about IELTS Speaking Part 1 the examiner will begin by introducing themselves and asking you to introduce yourself. This is typically a brief warm-up to get you comfortable with the speaking test. You’ll be asked about your name, where you’re from, and other basic personal information.

You will be asked a series of questions on common topics . You have to state your opinion or experiences. Given below are real IELTS Speaking Part 1 questions with sample answers on the subject of ‘Weather.’

Here are the types of questions that are asked during IELTS Speaking Part 1

Weather IELTS Speaking Part 1 Questions

Now that you’ve got a clear idea of how the test works let’s get right into the main area of focus. For the topic ‘Weather IELTS Speaking Part 1,’ you’ll be asked questions like:

1. What’s the weather like in your country?

In my country, the weather is quite diverse due to the varying topography and climatic zones. Generally, the northern regions experience a continental climate with hot summers and freezing winters, while the coastal areas have a more moderate maritime climate. However, climate change has led to increasingly unpredictable weather patterns in recent years.

2. Do you prefer hot or cold weather?

Personally, I prefer milder weather conditions over extreme heat or cold. While I enjoy the warmth of summer, excessive heat can be quite draining. On the other hand, I find cold weather invigorating, but only to a certain extent. Extreme cold can be challenging to deal with.

3. How does the weather affect your daily life?

The weather plays a significant role in my daily routine. For instance, during hot summer days, I tend to stay indoors more and rely on air conditioning. In contrast, during the cooler months, I enjoy spending time outdoors and engaging in outdoor activities like hiking or picnicking.

4. Do you think the weather has an impact on people’s moods?

Absolutely! I believe the weather can profoundly influence our emotions and overall mood. Sunny, pleasant weather tends to uplift our spirits and make us feel more energetic and positive. Conversely, gloomy, rainy days can dampen our mood and make us feel lethargic or melancholic.

5. What’s your favorite type of weather?

My favorite type of weather is a warm, sunny day with a gentle breeze and a few fluffy clouds in the sky. This kind of weather is perfect for outdoor activities, picnics, or simply relaxing in the park or backyard.

6. How do you typically dress for different weather conditions?

For hot weather, I typically wear lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen to stay cool and comfortable. In cold weather, I layer up with warm sweaters, coats, and scarves to insulate against the chill. And for rainy days, I make sure to have a waterproof jacket or umbrella on hand.

7. Have you ever experienced extreme weather conditions?

Yes, I have experienced some extreme weather conditions. A few years ago, my region was hit by a severe heatwave, with temperatures soaring above 40°C (104°F) for several consecutive days. It was incredibly challenging to cope with the intense heat, and we had to take precautions to stay hydrated and avoid heat exhaustion.

8. Do you think climate change is affecting the weather patterns in your area?

Definitely. Climate change has had a noticeable impact on the weather patterns in my area. We’ve been experiencing more frequent and intense heat waves, as well as unpredictable rainfall patterns. Extreme weather events, such as severe storms and flooding, have also become more common in recent years.

9. How do you stay informed about the weather forecast?

I typically check the weather forecast daily using various online sources or mobile apps. These resources provide detailed information on temperature, precipitation, wind conditions, and any severe weather alerts or warnings. Staying informed about the weather helps me plan my activities and be prepared for any potential disruptions.

10. Do you enjoy outdoor activities that are weather-dependent?

Yes, I love engaging in outdoor activities, many of which are heavily influenced by the weather conditions. For example, I enjoy hiking and camping, but these activities are best done during mild, dry weather. Similarly, water sports like swimming or boating are more enjoyable on warm, sunny days. Adapting to the weather is crucial for making the most of outdoor pursuits.

Describe Your Favourite Weather: A Guide to Answer Cue Card Topics for the IELTS Speaking Exam

The speaking examination is the second component of the IELTS exams that will test you for your linguistic abilities and capacity to articulate yourself. It’s a speaking test for IELTS. These are conducted face-to-face to assess you by video conference agreements with a specially trained expert in speech and linguistics. A cue card with a topic or subject you’re going to talk about on the spot is given to you.

You need to go through 4 sections of IELTS training to perform well in IELTS: writing, listening, coherent communication, and reading. To complete the entire IELTS test, you are given 2 hours and 45 minutes. Your English speaking abilities are measured in the speech component. Not only does it examine the way you express yourself, but it also depends on some minor points when you answer the contextual issue.

And how can you describe why you like this kind of weather?

Sample Answer – Introduction

Well, the weather is an important aspect of nature as well as, according to their preference and desires, everybody likes and dislikes the weather, however, I always prefer hot weather because I like it a lot that time, I go out with friends and family as well. It usually happens from June to September, but it can occur differently in various types of areas of the nation now due to emissions.

Interestingly, I enjoy hot summer days all the time, and I also like green grass, hot air, and more. I typically do a different style of things in summer, such as hanging out with friends and eating ice cream, as well as consuming cold coffee, soft drinks, and shakes with it. I spend a lot of time with relatives.

In addition, I keep visiting the poolside and waterpark with my dad. The pleasant island is a water park next to my home, where there are a lot of water sports. I typically love water slides, rain dancing, diving, and delicious Chinese food when I go there as well.

Lead to Body and Conclusion of IELTS Cue Card Topic – Describe Your Favourite Weather

Along with that, because I like to wear skirts, swimsuits, shorts and more other summer clothing, I enjoy hot weather. In the summer since there is a holiday week I often stay in the room in the afternoon and listen to rock music and have some healthy snacks.

I don’t like winter temperatures, on the other hand, since I can’t go outside in modern dresses at the time, I can’t eat cold food as well, I don’t like having a thick coat on the clothes as well.

In addition, the time days are too long in summer and I visit other places quickly and I usually visit Chandigarh Sukhna lake and have a lot of fun with friends. These are the key reasons why I prefer hot weather the most.

Describe Your Favorite Weather Cue Card Topic Sample Answer 2

India is a nation that is complex. Whether there is no summer, freezing in winter, rainy and dry conditions, we experience so many things.

I’d like to speak about the “rainy weather” that I like best, rather than other weather. It normally happens from July to September, but it can now occur differently in various areas of the world due to emissions. The rainy season, also known as the “Monsoon.”

Get into Detail of the Cue Card Topic Sample Answer

It is the time of year when much of the annual rainfall in the area occurs. In this climate, I enjoy myself a lot. Most people have enjoyed some spicy snacks and rainy days in my region. This temperature, apart from it, affects one’s life as kids do not play outdoor games on rainy days, everyone is obliged to visit outdoors. But I love it because I relaxed at home at that point and saw the rainy weather lying on my balcony. In addition, I loved listening to music and loving eating fresh snacks.

On the other hand, I don’t like very hot weather in the summer, but rainy weather relieves me of this hotness. In winter, the temperature in India is too cold and we can’t completely enjoy it. Overall, the perfect time to visit other areas, such as hill stations, is the rainy season. Snowfall weather at some locations in Monsoon and we enjoyed snowfall there.

Tips to Successfully Answer Cue Card Topics

Practice Note Making in a Minute.
Critical is the one minute you get before you start chatting. You ought to understand how this time can be used. To train, you can use the following method:

Emphasize relevant words in each cue in the 2020 IELTS cue card

To build up the argument, write 2-3 keywords against the subject of the cue cards and every cue.

Reading Practice

Practice speaking for a minimum of 3-4 minutes. If you think it’s going to be easy, then your mind tricks you into thinking you’re better than you actually are. For 4 minutes with a stopwatch, try speaking out loud about a subject and you will know how tough it really is.

To listen to your pronunciation and cohesiveness later, capture what you say. Your rhythm would be interrupted if your emotions are dispersed.

Additional Tips for IELTS Exam Preparation

Chat in front of the Mirror

In order to see what the body language conveys, try communicating in front of the mirror.

There is a good justification why the IELTS test is not yet virtual and the reasoning is that the interviewer not only listens to the words you speak, but also tests your comforts.

When anxious, everybody gets a nervous twitch or sweaty hands or makes noisy gulping noises. None of these will happen if you are secure in your ability. You don’t need to know anything, but whatever you do know, you have to be sure. So, smile, relax, and as you mean it, talk.

Stuff You can Stop doing During the IELTS Test

While pause is seen among intellects as a desired virtue, here it is not much preferred. Make them in a chronological manner while you are given time to make notes. You only have to return to the sheet of paper after you’re finished writing to assist you with the rhythm of your voice. Pausing for a long time has led to band score being minimized.

You will have a good understanding of how to treat and answer questions about the IELTS talking cue card in a logical way by now. The more you try to answer these sample questions in the main IELTS test, the more you can do. You can practise a comparable technique for IELTS cue card subjects by keeping an eye on this article.

How can you get a high band score in lexical resource in IELTS writing task 2?

If you need a high band score in IELTS writing, then you first need to understand how IELTS examiners grade this part of the IELTS test .

IELTS examiners do not give you one grade, they give you four grades that you do not see and these are added together to create an overall band score in IELTS Writing.

The four areas that they grade you on are:

Task achievement
Cohesion and coherence
Lexical resource
Grammatical range and accuracy

In this article I will look at :

What is lexical resource?
What can you do to improve your band score in this area?

As lexical resource is 25% of the overall score, it is very important that you choose your vocabulary carefully. Many IELTS candidates focus on answering the question and do not pay enough attention to the vocabulary and then get 5.0 for Lexical Resource and this lowers their overall band score.

To get a 6.0 or above in Lexical Resource, IELTS examiners are looking for use of a range of less common words and phrases.

Let’s see how you can do this with an IELTS essay about global warming – a popular IELTS Writing topic!

First of all, before focusing on the vocabulary, you must read and understand the question…

It is the job of governments and companies to deal with the huge environmental problems which we face. Individuals on their own can do little or nothing’. What is your opinion about this statement?

In this question, you need to focus on governments, companies and individuals so the best way to write your answer would be using separate paragraphs for each group. The essay below is divided into three main topic paragraphs; however, you will see that I bring ‘individuals’ into each paragraph to say how they can help the situation.

Ok, so now you understand the question, before writing the essay, it is ESSENTIAL that you note down some complex words/phrases that you could use in your answer. If you do not do this, you will probably not think of using them in the answer and then you get a low Lexical Resource score.

What vocabulary could you use to improve your lexical resource band score in this task?

Take a look through the climate change essay below and you can see that all the words underlined are connected to climate change.

They are words/phrases that would show the IELTS examiner that you can use a range of less common words and complex language.

In addition, there are examples of collocations – these are words that go together and are used naturally by native speakers, but are often not widely known by non-native speakers. These can impress the examiner.

Here are some examples of collocations I have used in this essay:

To tackle climate change = to deal with climate change
A pressing problem = a problem that needs dealing with urgently
A moral responsibility = a duty to behave in a way that is right
The key players = the most important people

It cannot be disputed that the world is experiencing an environmental crisis . According to recent research, if nothing is done to tackle climate change in the near future, our planet will face the devastating consequences of global warming . Undoubtedly, it is the role of governments and corporate organisations to take action, however I strongly feel that individuals need to make a contribution to deal with this pressing problem as well.

Politicians could certainly invest public finances in order to research the issues connected with climate change and, furthermore, could pass laws in relation to industrial pollution , which is making a major contribution to the greenhouse effect . Nevertheless, it requires constant pressure from citizens, either alone or in environmental pressure groups, on our leaders to make this happen. The general public can protest, lobby their politicians or vote for a political party who proposes introducing green policies if elected.

Similarly, corporate businesses should be adopting more sustainable working practices , for instance, by switching to more environmentally-friendly ways of manufacturing using renewable energy such as solar panels . Likewise, the individual as consumer can play a role here too, by refusing to purchase products which have been manufactured in a way that damages the environment.

It must also be acknowledged that individuals have a moral responsibility to care for our planet . For example, reducing consumption of fossil fuels whenever possible, becoming self-sufficient by growing their own vegetables and switching off lights when they are not needed. Although some of these actions may seem minor, the cumulative effect of everyone taking such actions would be enormous.

It is probably certainly the case that governments and international companies are the key players with responsibility for protecting our planet . Nonetheless, I am still convinced that ordinary people, either individually or cooperatively, can help to make the changes necessary to have a significant impact on our future.

As previously mentioned, the environment is a frequently used topic in both IELTS Speaking and Writing so if you need a high band score in IELTS, write a practice essay on this topic now.

Re-orientate the topic to climate change / industrial pollution 600

Global warming essay

This global warming IELTS essay lesson is mostly about the need to vary your vocabulary when you write. This means thinking about the topic of the question of course but also thinking about what the question asks you to do – i.e. talk about causes etc.

Read and understand the question – structuring the essay

Research shows that global warming is caused by human activity. What are the possible effects of climate change and what can governments and individuals do to reduce these?

This is a two part question. To answer it, you must write about both

the causes of climate change

what can be done about it by both governments and individuals

The sensible approach is to use separate paragraphs for each point. My essay below is divided into two main topic paragraphs. You could use three if you wanted to write a separate paragraph for government and individual actions.

Choosing the language

You should see that you need this language for the essay:

climate change vocabulary

cause and effect vocabulary

suggestion vocabulary

My suggestion is that you do not start writing too quickly but plan and think about what words you need to use.

Cause and effect vocabulary .

This is key area of language and you want to vary the word “effects” in the question. Look at the red words below to see how I do this. You will find a lot more words on my lesson cause and effect vocabulary.

cause and effect

Climate change vocabulary.

This is the topic vocabulary of the essay. If you need more, take a look at my vocabulary lesson on this:

Suggestion language .

Don’t forget this. You have options here too. The mistake is to go “must” “must” “must”. English had lots of words for this. Think of

There is now little doubt that global warming and climate change are the result of human activity. This has happened because of a failure in environmental policy by governments and a lack of concern for wasted energy by individuals.

It is almost universally accepted that climate change is the consequence of a number of environmental failings. Perhaps the most important of these is how fossil fuels such as gas and coal are still the main source of power. This is a problem because their use means that a large amount of CO2 is released into the atmosphere causing the greenhouse effect. Another serious issue is how illegal logging continues in rainforests and the Amazon Basin in particular. It should also not be forgotten that there is a connection between global warming and the inefficient use of energy by consumers in the home.

While governments must take prime responsibility for reducing climate change, individuals too can play a part. Political leaders across the globe need to cooperate so that research into renewable forms of energy such as wind and solar power is properly funded and the use of coal and gas in power stations is phased out.

They must also of course ensure that regulations against logging are properly enforced. Consumers of energy can help by insulating their homes properly and using solar panels where possible so that less energy is required and wasted. These actions should limit the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and so reduce the greenhouse effect.

In conclusion, while global warming is a serious threat to humanity, there are a number of steps that can be taken to reduce its effects.

IELTS Speaking Cue Card

Describe your favourite weather

What kind of weather it is?

When this weather usually occurs?

What you usually do during this weather?

Explain how this weather affects you and why you like it?

I enjoy all kinds of weathers for copious reasons, however, my favourite one is snowy weather during winters. Winter breezes feel magical and experiencing them with family create memorable events. I wait for this time of the season to have delightful time with new additions to my wardrobe and mini library.

It occurs in winter season which lasts for about two or three months beginning in November and lasting until January. Sometimes, it lasts longer depending on the region where it continues to snow or have cold winds until February. Snow creates bewitching landscapes and hotels offer cozy stay that include serving of warm food and beverages to enjoy the weather.

I like sitting by the window reading a book with a cup of hot chocolate while watching the snowfall. At times when I am not doing this, I have colossal amount of fun with family and friends who often come over for a game nights and dinners. I love organising such social gatherings to keep in touch with my friends. Sometimes, I travel to an adventurous location to admire the scenic beauty that snow creates and often go skiing whenever I find time.

Snowy weather brings contentment to me. I like playing in snow with my nephew who is a little bundle of joy. However, it does sometimes give me a headache, but it is usually manageable. There are also some sporting events conducted that include a competition of making sculptures using snow and being an art lover, I make sure to participate in them.

Vocabulary:

Copious – various
Bewitching – enchanting
Cozy – comfortable
Colossal – great
Contentment – a state of happiness

Part 3 Follow Up - Questions & Answers

1. do you often pay attention to the weather forecast.

I check the weather forecast only when I have plans to travel somewhere or just go out. It helps to decide the kind of clothes I need to wear and equipment like an umbrella to take with me while I am out. A clear sky can quickly turn dark with rainy clouds, so weather forecast is reliable to make necessary preparations in case of an emergency.

2. How does the weather (or, the weather forecast) affect what activities people do?

Weather influences us in multiple ways. For instance, when a picnic is planned and it suddenly starts to rain, it ruins the plans of that outing. Likewise, rainy weather effects sporting events where play must stop due to bad weather conditions. In addition, severe snowfall obstructs transportation and high temperature poses as a threat to people going out who might get dehydrated.

3. Why do some people dislike some kinds of weather?

I believe it is because of the effects that weather has on people and their daily routine. If weather conditions restrict people from going about their day or induce some kind of health implications, they may dislike that kind of weather. I do not like hot weather as it makes me feel irritated and thirsty all the time.

4. Does the weather have an effect on the economy?

Yes, weather influences the economy of a region. For example, summertime crop yield, especially that of fruits like mangoes generates revenue increasing the economic conditions of a region based on their export business. On the other hand, countries that have extreme snowfall during winter see a decline in their economy as it makes regular movement difficult.

What kind of weather do you have? What do you normally do in this weather? How does the weather affect you? Why do you enjoy this type of weather?

Introduction: The sun is delicious, while the rain is refreshing, the wind keeps us warm, and the snow is invigorating; there is so much to weather. The Asian weather is divided into four seasons: Summer, Monsoon, Autumn, and Winter.

What kind of weather do you have: But today, I'd like to talk about the Winter, my favourite season. Though the entire year provides us with many fun opportunities, Winter has something special, something whimsical that places it on my list of favorites.

What do you normally do in this weather: The winter season is jam-packed with events. I usually spend the wonderful evenings of this season with my family. Every weekend, while my mother bakes delicious cakes for us, I light a bonfire in my backyard. On Christmas and New Year's Eve, I distribute sweets to the public and donate warm clothing to those in need.

How does the weather affect you: You can feel the magic in the air when the first winter breeze blows through the trees. In my country, the season begins in early November and lasts until late February. The coldest yet most active season occurs in December and early January.

Why do you enjoy this type of weather: I adore cold weather because it brings people together; we all long for warmth, love, and connection. The holidays bring big family meals and never-ending gratitude, and the wheel of time seems to turn a little slower than usual. Also, I adore hot cocoa, hot cider, and peppermint-spiced lattes, and there is no better time to enjoy all of these than during the Winter.

Introduction: Although I enjoy activities such as swimming in scorching heat and sipping coffee in freezing temperatures, my favourite weather is rainy.

What kind of weather do you have: Rain usually falls in my city during July, August, and September. However, it can also occur in February and March.

What do you normally do in this weather: Most people consider the current weather to be a blessing. Some call it romantic weather, while others consider it a divine blessing. My city's summers are brutal. So whenever it rains, we get some relief from the oppressive heat.

How does the weather affect you: On rainy days, I usually go for a long drive. As a foodie, I enjoy eating my favorite snacks like cutlets and spring rolls with espresso coffee to make the most of the weather. Aside from that, I attend rain dance parties.

Why do you enjoy this type of weather: Because I dislike the hot and humid climate, it serves as a stress reliever for me. This weather brings me closer to my mother nature. Furthermore, I have a great deal of respect for farmers because they satisfy our hunger by producing food. I'm happy because farmers are revitalized by rain. Aside from that, my city streets are spotless after the rain, and the air we breathe is pure. I can enjoy my walk more now.

A1. I believe this is because the weather can limit people's activities. People may dislike the weather if it prevents them from participating in their favourite activity. For example, my friend despises rainy days because he enjoys playing cricket and is unable to do so due to the rain.

Q2. Is the weather a factor in the economy?

A2. Yes, the weather has an impact on our economy. For example, because our winters are milder, many people from cold northern countries visit us during that time. As a result, it promotes tourism. Furthermore, certain weather conditions, such as hot, sunny days, increase the earnings of local ice cream vendors. Similarly, colder weather boosts the jacket and jumper industry.

Q3. Do you frequently check the weather forecast?

A3. Yes, I monitor the weather forecast regularly. This is because I travel frequently, and knowing the weather allows me to plan ahead of time. Furthermore, climate change has made weather unpredictable. For example, it can rain even during the dry season, so knowing the weather daily has become essential.

Weather Vocabulary

You are almost guaranteed to need weather vocabulary at some point in your IELTS exam. Weather plays such an important part in our lives and is something every single one of us is affected by.

You will very likely use weather vocabulary when talking about yourself in Part 1 of the Speaking test and it may even be the topic of your Part 2 talk and follow-up questions in Part 3. Weather is a common subject for both Writing tasks and could also come up in either your Reading or your Listening tests.

You’ll also need weather vocabulary for answering questions about other common topics, especially the environment.

It’s a broad subject. Here are some common areas you could be asked about:

What the weather is like in your country
Your favourite weather or season
How the weather affects how you or other people feel
How the weather affects what you or other people do
The effect of the weather on jobs or local transportation
Bad, problematic or extreme weather
Climate change
Weather forecasting

To ensure that you are well prepared to answer any weather-related question, I've included four things on this page:

IELTS-style questions on the topic of weather
Sample answers
A list of common weather vocabulary with definitions & sample sentences
Links to online reading and listening resources

You’ll find PDF downloads of both the questions and sample answers and the weather vocabulary list at the bottom of the respective sections.

The questions relate to the Speaking test because this part of the exam offers the broadest range of possible questions on the topic of weather. They give the best opportunity for me to demonstrate the vocabulary and for you to practise using it.

I’ve included IELTS-style questions and answers for all three parts of the Speaking test. I've highlighted key words and phrases in bold .

You'll find these words and phrases, and many others, in the vocabulary list beneath. The list also includes explanations and sample sentences and there’s an audio to listen to the pronunciation.

The weather vocabulary list contains words and phrases relevant to all parts of the IELTS exam.

Finally, at the bottom of the page I've added links to topical articles, short videos and podcasts that will help you to improve both your weather vocabulary and your reading and listening skills.

Here’s something to think about as you work through this page:

It’s important to learn new vocabulary in context so that you understand how it’s used by native speakers.

IELTS-Style Speaking Test Questions and Answers

Common weather vocabulary is highlighted in bold .

1) What is the weather like in your country?

Our weather is very unpredictable . One minute it can be lovely sunshine , the next we’re experiencing a downpour . The UK is well-known for this.

2) Do you like the weather in your country?

Yes and no. I get frustrated that we have so many rainy days but we do have some glorious weather as well. When the sun comes out and there’s not a cloud in the sky , I couldn't be happier.

3) Is the weather the same in all parts of your country?

There are some quite marked regional differences. I live in the south-west where it's mild but we get high precipitation . It’s drier in the east and they actually had a drought this summer . Further north, it’s very cold in winter and they get heavy snow .

4) Are there any problems with the climate in your country?

We certainly seem to have experienced more violent storms and torrential rain in recent years. This has caused serious flooding in some places. A village near where I live had a flash flood this summer which washed away cars and a few buildings. People say global warming is to blame.

5) Does the weather ever affect the way you feel?

Most definitely. I feel so much more cheerful and full of energy when it’s sunny , whatever season it is. Even a break in the weather on an overcast day lifts my spirits.

Describe your favourite season.

You should say:

what the season is and when it occurs
what the weather is like during this season
what your typical activities are during this season

and explain why it is your favourite season.

That’s really difficult as I like things about every season but if I had to choose one, I guess I’d go for spring . It covers the months of March, April and May in my country and is actually the time of year I was born.

I spend the cold winter months looking forward to the first signs of spring as nature comes back to life with the change of the season – things like the snowdrops poking through the soil, colourful daffodils and crocuses, blossom on the trees, shiny new leaves and the birds singing their hearts out as they build their nests. It’s such a lovely time of year.

The weather gradually improves week by week, although we can still get frost right up to the end of April and even snow , but it’s usually just sleet and turns to slush as soon as it touches the ground. Hail storms are quite common and bright rainbows , which we see as a promise of fine weather to come.

Whilst there’s plenty of warm sunshine in spring , a shower of rain is never far away and the wind tends to be quite chilly so you need to dress up warm to go out. I keep a close eye on the weather forecast before making plans as to what to do.

To sum up the weather , you’d have to say that it’s changeable – a mixture of sunny spells and cloudbursts is how I’d describe it.

As the temperature rises, I definitely get more active. I start to take longer walks and go out on my bike more often. Weather permitting , we often have a barbecue on my birthday.

I also get stuck into some gardening. There’s always lots of cutting down and clearing up to do, plus the grass begins to grow again and needs cutting. At weekends, I go to the garden centre to buy bedding plants ready for a colourful summer display.

One of the best things of all about spring is the lighter evenings, such a relief after the dark winter months. You can now spend evenings outdoors if you want to rather than being stuck in watching TV.

So you see, there are lots of reasons why spring is my favourite month. I love the hotter weather of the summer , of course, but there’s something about the freshness of spring that makes it special.

1) How do the different seasons affect the lifestyle of people in your country?

As we have a fairly mild climate , people are able to enjoy the outdoors all times of the year. Of course, summer is the most popular time for going to the beach and such like but even on blustery winter’s days, you’ll see people out walking along the shore enjoying the fresh air. With our unpredictable weather , we’re used to getting caught in the rain whatever the season so we just put on our waterproofs and off we go.

When it’s warm , people tend to take a picnic when they go out walking or cycling but in chilly weather , they’re more likely to stop off at a cosy pub or café for something to eat.

One of the biggest differences in our lifestyle through the seasons is down to the variation in daylight hours. In summer , it’s light until around 10.30pm whilst in the middle of winter it’s dark by 3.30pm. No-one feels much like going out when it’s cold and dark so we stay at home more.

2) Do you think people who live in cold places have different personalities to people who live in warm or hot places?

That’s something I’ve never considered but now I come to think of it, I’m sure they do. From my experience, people living in cold countries are fairly reserved and quite serious. Those living in hot climates , on the other hand, are more outgoing and full of life. That’s apart from the most humid regions where it’s so hot and sticky that you just want to sit around and do nothing all day.

Although I’d have to agree overall, I think there are many other factors than temperature and the weather that affect people’s personalities.

3) Do you think there are any problems with the world's climate now?

I believe that we’re facing many serious issues with our climate at the moment and they're only going to get worse unless we do something about global warming soon.

In my country, the winters are getting milder and wetter and serious flooding is becoming common. It’s a real problem in many areas. However, that’s nothing compared to the devastating tropical storms that some parts of the world are experiencing, more violent ever before. Meteorologists predict that they will get even stronger in the future which is a great concern.

One of the most serious problems of climate change is the melting of the icecaps as it’s causing rising sea levels. It’s possible that many coastal areas could be under water by the end of the century. Now that really is a worry.

Weather Idioms

There are a large number of weather idioms in the English language. Most of them use the weather as a metaphor for something else so there are very few that you’d use to answer questions about the weather itself.

For this reason, I haven’t included them on this w eather vocabulary page but have given them a whole page of their own. You’ll find them here: Weather Idioms .

Ways to Improve Your Weather Vocabulary

One of the best ways to improve your vocabulary is through reading. Watching topic related YouTube videos and listening to podcasts is also hugely beneficial.

Here are some online resources I recommend.

Weather Forecasts & Weather Videos

BBC Weather

Fox News Weather

Weather Articles

Friends of the Earth

The Weather Channel

Live Science

TED Talks are short videos with a powerful message and are generally very interesting. They’re ideal for improving your vocabulary and give valuable listening skills practise.

Search YouTube TED Talks Weather to help you improve your weather vocabulary.

Describe your favourite weather

IELTS SPEAKING CUE CARD

IELTS CUE CARD TOPIC

You should say What kind of weather it is? When this weather usually occurs? What you usually do during this weather? Explain how this weather affects you? And explain why you like this type of weather.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Introduction

Although I have some fun to do in all kinds of weathers like swimming in scorching heat and sipping coffee in cold temperatures, the weather that I like the most is rainy.

When this weather usually occurs?

In my city, usually, rain comes in July, August and September months.
However, sometimes it comes in February and March too.

What kind of weather it is?

This weather is a blessing for most people.
Some people call it romantic weather and some take it as a blessing from the almighty.
The summers of my city are harsh.
So whenever rain comes, we get respite from the relentless heat.

What you usually do during this weather?

Generally, I go for a long drive during rainy days.
Being a food lover, I love to eat my favourite snacks like cutlets and spring rolls accompanied by espresso coffee to make full use of this weather.
Apart from this, I participate in rain dance parties.

Explain how this weather affects you?

It acts as a stress buster for me because I do not enjoy the hot and humid climate.
This weather makes me feel close to my mother nature.
Moreover, I have immense respect for the farmers because they pamper our appetite by producing food. I feel good because farmers feel rejuvenated during rainfall.
Apart from this, after the downpour, my city roads look clean, and the air we breathe is pristine. I can enjoy my walk in a better way.
On the contrary, sometimes this weather irritates me, especially when I indulge in playing outdoor sports like cricket and football and all of a sudden rain comes to disrupt our game.

The one-hour writing portion of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) consists of two tasks, task 1 and task 2, which evaluate your vocabulary, grammar, word count, collocations, and capacity to create complicated sentences sparingly and effectively.

It is crucial to realise that the IELTS Academic and General Training Tasks have different essay subjects. IELTS Academic Task 1 requires you to create a report using a graph, diagram, or chart; in contrast, IELTS General Training Task 1 requires you to write a letter. Essay writing is the second task in both the General and Academic modules. Although the themes for essays in each module may vary, the approach to producing essays is always the same.

To determine the Academic IELTS Writing Task 1 and Task 2 scores, examiners consider the following factors: Task Achievement, Task Response, Coherence, Grammatical Range and Accuracy, and Lexical Resource.

Environmental Crisis: One of the most often asked IELTS topics is the environment essay (band 9). But since this is one of the most specialized topics and might cost you points, many students don’t think they need to prepare for it.

Global Warming: Questions about general conversation subjects like deforestation, global warming, the greenhouse effect, and climate change are frequently included in the speaking and writing areas of the IELTS exam.

Sustainable Energy: Writing an essay might be a difficult chore if you are not familiar with its structure and topics. Each sentence needs to make sense and be constructed such that it conveys information and a clear picture. If you write your essay off-topic, you can lose points. Nuclear power and sustainable energy are contentious issues, therefore being knowledgeable about them will set you apart from your peers.

Fossil Fuels: The topics for IELTS essays in writing assignment 2 typically revolve around subjects that are commonly discussed in the everyday lives of applicants. The substitution of renewable energy sources for nonrenewable fuels is one such issue.

Hobbies: “Hobbies” appears frequently in both the Speaking and Writing Task 2 sections of the IELTS exam. Examinees should find this to be a straightforward, mark-fetching topic with minimal obstacles.

First impressions matter a lot in terms of personality as IELTS examiners read hundreds of essays every day and have limited attention spans. Therefore, it is crucial that you start your IELTS essay correctly and give a strong first impression.

Fashion : Often featuring worldwide themes, fashion is one of the best subjects to hone your public speaking abilities.

Education: The IELTS Essay on Education is one of the hardest assignments, with erratic questions throughout the test. Education: The Significance of Extracurricular Activities and School Values.

Government and Society: If you’re planning to take the IELTS exam, you should familiarize yourself with as many topics that are common to Writing Task 2. Government and society is one such frequent IELTS exam theme that you should be familiar with.

Ideal Society: To strengthen their writing and vocabulary skills and raise their overall band score, applicants should practice answering sample questions and practicing essay responses for the Ideal Society IELTS essay.

Worldwide Trade: The IELTS exam has included global business as one of its themes over the years. In order to properly respond to a question on such a topic, your response must include all relevant details, arguments, justifications, opinions, and supporting proof.

The functions of management and leadership are crucial in any organization. You should always write an essay that answers the query while writing on such subjects.

Language Barriers and Foreign Culture : IELTS Writing Task 2 frequently addresses the themes of foreign languages and culture. Share your thoughts on these subjects.

Sports and kids: Sports are a recurrent motif throughout the essay, and the text should never stray from the major ideas.

Health Obesity: In IELTS writing task 2, essays about overweight people are frequently assigned. Overweight may also be discussed in relation to obesity, current trends in children’s and adults’ health, and other related subjects.

The themes for IELTS essays are typically divided into different sections.

Any of the following essay types may be seen on the IELTS exam:

You are required to provide your thoughts on the assigned topic in this essay genre. Naturally, having prior knowledge of frequent topics that are popular in the IELTS exam is the ideal method to score highly in such essays.

Examples of Questions

Nowadays, most teenagers have a smartphone. Give your thoughts so that we may talk about the benefits and drawbacks.
In recent years, crime novels and TV shows have gained a lot of popularity. What thoughts do you have regarding these criminal dramas?
Developing countries frequently need aid from other countries. While some think that guidance and practical support would be more helpful, many feel that financial assistance should be provided. Talk about your thoughts on both of these points of view.
While some people think industries are to blame, many people think cars are the main source of pollution in cities. Describe the opposing viewpoints and offer your own.
A common belief is that the government ought to provide financial assistance to those who engage in the arts. Others think they should look for different sources. Give your thoughts and discuss each point of view.
Some people think that perseverance, commitment, and drive are the keys to success in life. Many people, however, think that other crucial elements, such as wealth and good looks, determine success. Give your thoughts and discuss the two points of view.
Government funding of programs aimed at finding extraterrestrial life is a popular belief. But some think that governments ought to concentrate on global problems that still need to be solved. Talk about both points of view and offer your own.

In the context of discussion essays, candidates must present arguments in favor of or against each issue. These are the most typical essays that can be seen on the IELTS exam.

Many people think that living in a large city has more benefits than living in a rural area. Do you think this is correct or incorrect?
More than any other element, an individual’s age group determines their shopping behavior. Do you think this is correct or incorrect?
In industrialized nations, the number of overweight children and adolescents is rising. For most developed nations, this is a serious issue. Describe this issue’s causes and effects.
One fantastic invention that benefits everyone on the planet is the internet. However, there are a number of problems with regard to personal data control and security. Do you think this is correct or incorrect?
People who are exposed to advertising are less likely to be creative and more likely to act and appear alike. Do you think this is correct or incorrect?
Many times these days, parents plan extra classes for the weekends or even after school. Do you think this is even remotely helpful? Or are you of the opinion that the education offered in schools suffices?
There are others who think that abolishing the death penalty is a good idea. Do you think this is correct or incorrect?

Students are required to discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of a certain topic in this kind of essay. These essays assess your ability to create arguments and how well you can express yourself in English so that your opinions are as clear and consistent as possible.

Many places have benefited immensely from international tourism. Significant worries have been raised, though, regarding how it may affect the local population and ecology. Are there more drawbacks to foreign travel than advantages?
Recently, legislation restricting employees’ daily working hours have been passed in some countries. Describe the impact that this will have, if any, positive or negative.

The themes for this kind of essay will be given to the students as direct questions, to which they must respond with their own ideas and experiences.

In the past, going shopping was a common household chore. Today, though, it’s more of a pastime. Does this pattern seem promising?

Since they can communicate in English really well, many students think they don’t need to prepare much. It’s true that the IELTS test is difficult. Actually, the test could be challenging for native English speakers as well. Candidates should thus begin their preparation for this portion as soon as possible and should follow a strict and thorough approach.

Start studying for the IELTS at least six months in advance of the date you plan to take the test, and be sure to dedicate some time each day to each of the four components.
For both writing tasks—especially writing task 2—select writing themes and make an effort to write about them every day. Keep an eye on the clock; you have one hour to finish both assignments.
Allocate a substantial amount of time to acquire new words and review grammar. Structured thinking comes next, which enables you to express your ideas in a logical manner. Keep clarity, rationality, and lucidity in mind when you write.
Since any topic could be included in the second IELTS writing task, you should broaden your ideas. Examine all available materials, including books, magazines, and internet resources, to increase your vocabulary and level of understanding. Moreover, practice as many mock.

To successfully improve their essay-writing skills in the Writing portion, students might use the following strategies:

To succeed in assignment 2 essays, you must first thoroughly read and comprehend the question. Candidates typically respond to the question without fully comprehending what is asked of them. It is important for candidates to thoroughly examine the question, determine its type, and attempt to pinpoint its keywords. Lastly, before attempting to respond, they should comprehend the instructions completely.

Students must organize the format of their answers after they have a firm understanding of the question. This will enable candidates to arrange their thoughts and create a concise and coherent response.

The essay’s opening should provide a summary of the main points of the paper. Make sure your opening effectively summarizes the main points of the essay.

The crucial section of the essay is the main body, where you have to include all the information that is required. Make sure to support your ideas with relevant information, examples, and explanations. After finishing, a suitable conclusion must be provided

An Overview of the IELTS

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is designed to measure English proficiency for educational, vocational and immigration purposes. The IELTS measures an individual's ability to communicate in English across four areas of language: listening , reading , writing and speaking . The IELTS is administered jointly by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge English Language Assessment at over 1,100 test centres and 140 countries. These test centres supervise the local administration of the test and recruit, train and monitor IELTS examiners.

IELTS tests are available on 48 fixed dates each year, usually Saturdays and sometimes Thursdays, and may be offered up to four times a month at any test centre, including Elektrostal' depending on local needs. Go to IELTS test locations to find a test centre in or nearby Elektrostal' and to check for upcoming test dates at your test centre.

Test results are available online 13 days after your test date. You can either receive your Test Report Form by post or collect it from the Test Centre. You will normally only receive one copy of the Test Report Form, though you may ask for a second copy if you are applying to the UK or Canada for immigration purposes - be sure to specify this when you register for IELTS. You may ask for up to 5 copies of your Test Report Form to be sent directly to other organisations, such as universities.

There are no restrictions on re-sitting the IELTS. However, you would need to allow sufficient time to complete the registration procedures again and find a suitable test date.
