Part 1 Common Questions
The examiner may ask any of these in a real exam. Aim for 20–30 seconds per answer — give a direct response and add one specific example or reason.
- What kind of weather do you enjoy most?
- What is the weather usually like in your hometown?
- Do you think weather affects your mood?
- Has the weather changed in your country in recent years?
- Do you prefer hot or cold weather?
- Have you ever experienced extreme weather?
Part 1 tip: Don't give one-word answers. Use the question word to structure
your reply — if asked "Do you enjoy…?", answer "Yes, I do, because…" and add a brief example.
Aim for 2–3 sentences.
