IELTS Speaking Part 1: Sunsets questions and answers

Yes, absolutely. I find it really calming after a hectic day. There's something quite therapeutic about seeing the sky turn into different shades of orange and pink. I usually try to step onto my balcony around dusk just to catch a glimpse before it gets completely dark.

In my city, there's a lovely hill in the local botanical gardens that gives you an unobstructed view of the horizon. Lots of people gather there with picnic blankets in the evening. It’s definitely the top spot because you can see the sun dip right behind the skyline.

Not as often as I'd like, to be honest. During the working week, I'm usually stuck at my desk or commuting on the underground when the sun goes down. However, on weekends, I make a conscious effort to go for an evening stroll by the river.

Definitely sunsets. I'm not much of an early bird, so getting up at dawn to see the sunrise rarely happens for me. Sunsets feel like a reward at the end of the day, plus the atmosphere is generally much more relaxed and sociable.

Not really, I suppose. As a child, I was usually too caught up playing video games or doing homework to notice the sky changing. It's only really in the last few years that I've started to appreciate little moments like that in nature.
