Speaking Test Part 1

1. What outdoor activities do you like?

I really enjoy spending time outdoors and doing physical activities so I'm a big fan of hiking, camping and water sports like surfing. I find outdoor activities invigorating, especially if they take place somewhere with breathtaking scenery.

2. What is your favourite indoor activity?

That’s a tough question because these days there are so many options for indoor entertainment. I tend to listen to a lot of podcasts, and I also love to get absorbed in a good book.

3. Do you prefer to spend your spare time indoors or outdoors?

I don’t like to be cooped up inside for too long so I spend a lot of time outdoors when the weather is good. I love to disconnect by being in nature, and going for a walk, a run, or a bike ride is a great way to do that.

4. What outdoor activities are popular in your country?

Well, for one, a lot of people are into cycling these days. Also, many people have dogs, so you'll often see people taking their dogs for a walk in the local parks. Of course, a lot of people love football too, so it's pretty common to come across youngsters kicking a ball around in the park.

5. Do people in your country like to spend time outdoors?

Yes, definitely, during the summer most people love the great outdoors. People love to sit outside and drink a coffee, or have a picnic or barbecue in the park. It’s a great chance to unplug and get away from the TV or laptop.

6. What outdoor activity would you like to try in the future?

I’ve always wanted to take up snowboarding. Unfortunately, the terrain isn’t mountainous near my home, so I’ve never had the chance to do it,  but I hope in the future I can try out the sport.

7. Did you prefer outdoor or indoor activities when you were a child?

When I was a kid, I was much more into outdoor activities because I had a lot of energy and liked to be active. I would always choose playing in the woods, going camping, building a campfire or connecting with nature over sitting indoors and reading a book or playing a boardgame.

8. Do you like to spend time outdoors when you are on holiday?

Absolutely! When I'm on holiday in a city, I like to explore the streets on foot or visit a botanical garden. If I’m in the countryside I love to go hiking on local trails and enjoy the scenic views.
