2017年6-8月雅思口语Part 1新题：weekends

　　1.How do you usually spend your weekends?

　　Well, it depends on if I have any special plans or not. For example, last weekend I went to visit a friend for the weekend and while that’s not a usual weekend, nearly every other weekend I try to go out and do something different, either with friends, family or even by myself. But a normal weekend when I have nothing particular planned would revolve around my family and just being at home relaxing.

　　2.Which is your favourite part of the weekend?

　　Really, I don’t have a favourite part as in Saturday or Sunday or morning or night time. I guess I like having big meals with my family at weekends which we don’t always manage to do during the week, so that’s nice, but overall I enjoy all of the weekend and just being around my family.

　　3.Do you think weekends are long enough?

　　In general, yes, I mean it’s not something that is probably going to change so I’ve never really considered if two days are long enough or not. It’s always been two days. I feel that it’s time enough to have a break in your routine from during the week, and it’s also enough time to do things like traveling and visiting other places.

　　4.How important do you think it is to have free time at the weekends?

　　Having enough free time is very important for overall wellbeing and balance in life, but it doesn’t necessarily all have to be at the weekends, it’s just that for most people it’s the case that the weekends are the time when they have most of their free time because they’re so busy during the week.

　　5.What is a typical weekends or weekdays for you?

　　Speaking Answer A) Well, with me, there are no particular weekends/weekdays, it is more of the period when I am working and when I am on holidays. The job that I do, is of a travel host, so in busy schedules, which we are in for most of the time, we are only focused on work and not the day. However, in casual days, I tend to go for either a spa or meet my family members or hang with my friends, especially because they are free on week ends. Weekdays, when I am free, I tend to just stay in home and read some book and cook food and spend some time alone.

　　6.Do you wear a particular outfit on weekends and weekdays? Why /why not?

　　I work at a software company, so there is a certain attire that I need to maintain while at work, i.e. on weekdays. I prefer wearing Indian formals during weekdays, because I am more comfortable in them and they look more classy as well. On weekends, I put on t-shirts and jeans for most of the time. Because there is lot of ground work that I need to do and tshirts for some reason are easier when you feel like jumping and fighting.

　　7.Do you spend all your weekends the same way?

　　Well, too an extent you can say yes. My job is such that I have very less time for travelling during weekdays, but travelling and blogging being very important for me, it is in weekends that I do the travel blogging part. So, every weekend I travel to a new place and get to know about the local culture and what is important about the place, the history and the changes it has seen since the time it was built. Sometimes, however, I travel with my friends as well and make some memories.
