Ielts jeremy Chiron Ideas and Examples for ielts speaking

1. Why are extreme sports so popular these days?
Well, extreme sports are really thrilling
（＝
exciting)
．
People want to experience new feelings
and test their limits
．
I guess that nowadays people are a little tired of doing the same activities all
the time. Occasionally some of them decide to try something new, you know, something out of the
ordinary, and sometimes something even a bit crazy
！
My friends tried bungee-jumping this past
summer, and they thought it was absolutely amazing. They said they experienced a real thrill
（＝
an adrenaline rush) and they really had a blast.

Extreme sports seem like a lot of fun, and if you try once, you'll never forget. Skydiving, scuba
diving, waterskiing or parasailing must be once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
2. What types of leisure activities are popular with families in your country?
Most families enjoy going out for dinner to appreciate a great meal and spend time
catching up with relatives while chatting and relaxing
．
In addition
，
a lot of families
frequently go for a walk together. In my hometown, there are many mountains that surround the city,
and so we can follow many trails up the hills into the forest. It's a good chance to spend time together
and enjoy a peaceful activity at the same time
．
However, I believe that most relatives often watch
TV together or play cards or mahjong, especially during the holidays.
3. Compare leisure activities available today with those available to your
parents’
generation.
Well, in the past people used to read a lot, and they also spent more time outside, fishing,
growing vegetables or flowers, or playing cards with neighbors
．
But things have changed. We
definitely have access to more activities these days compared to the past. First of all, thanks to
modern technology, and the fact that everyone has a computer these days, it is possible to watch
movies online, to play computer games, to chat with friends or even play. some online card games
or board games. People can also gamble
（＝
play with money) online if they want to. I think they
shouldn't but it's still possible. In addition, a lot of new sports have emerged
（＝
appeared) and many
people go to the gym or practice yoga with a professional trainer. Some of my friends take belly-
dancing lessons, others go rock-climbing every weekend. Now that people in my country are able
to earn more money because of the economic development China has recently experienced, people
can afford to relax and enjoy themselves more. As a result, many new leisure activities have become
popular.
