SAMPLE ANSWER

One memorable time I saw something truly fascinating in the sky was around two years ago, during a family vacation to a hill station called Manali. It was winter, and the weather was extremely cold, but the sky was unbelievably clear. On our second night there, my brother came running to tell us that he had read online about a meteor shower expected to be visible that night. Out of curiosity, we all decided to step outside and watch the sky.

We sat on the balcony, wrapped in warm blankets, and turned off all the lights to get a better view. Within a few minutes, we began to see shooting stars flashing across the dark sky—some short, some long, and all dazzlingly bright. It was the first time I had seen something like that in my life. The whole experience felt almost magical; it seemed as if the sky was celebrating with us.

I was with my parents and younger brother, and we were all amazed by how beautiful and peaceful it was. My mother even started making wishes on the shooting stars, which made the moment even more special. We spent almost an hour gazing at the sky and talking about space, planets, and the mysteries of the universe.

That night, I felt an incredible sense of calm and wonder. Watching the meteor shower reminded me how small we are in comparison to the vast universe. It also made me appreciate the beauty of nature and how sometimes, the most stunning moments are completely free and unexpected. I’ll never forget that night—it was one of those rare experiences that leaves a lasting impression on your mind.

PART – 3

Do you like looking at the sky?

Yes, I absolutely love looking at the sky. Whether it’s watching the sunrise in the morning or stargazing at night, I find it incredibly relaxing and peaceful. The sky changes so often—from clear blue to shades of orange and pink during sunset—that it feels like nature’s own painting. Whenever I’m stressed or overthinking, just spending a few minutes looking at the sky helps me calm down and reflect.

What do you think about stars?

I find stars extremely fascinating. It’s amazing to think that each tiny dot we see in the night sky is actually a massive ball of gas, millions of miles away. For me, stars represent hope and dreams because they shine even in darkness. When I was younger, I used to make wishes whenever I saw a shooting star. Even now, when I look at the stars, I feel a deep sense of curiosity about the universe and how infinite it really is.

Have you ever learned anything about astronomy?

I haven’t studied astronomy formally, but I’ve always been interested in it. I often watch documentaries about space exploration and read articles about planets and galaxies. I find it incredible how scientists can study things that are light years away. Learning about space also makes me appreciate how fragile and unique our planet is. If I ever had the chance, I would love to visit an observatory and look at the stars through a telescope.

Do you think it’s important to study space?

Yes, I think studying space is extremely important. It helps us understand not only the universe but also our own planet better. For example, studying other planets can teach us about climate change, evolution, and the origins of life. Moreover, space research has led to many technological advances like satellites, GPS, and weather forecasting. It also inspires people, especially young students, to explore science and innovation. So, in my opinion, investing in space research is definitely worthwhile.

IELTS SPEAKING TEST

What’s the difference between watching the sky in the city and in the countryside?

There’s a huge difference between the two. In cities, due to heavy light pollution and air pollution, it’s almost impossible to see stars clearly. The sky looks pale and dull because of streetlights and smog. However, in the countryside, the sky appears much clearer and darker, allowing you to see countless stars. When I visited the hills, I could even see the Milky Way with my naked eyes, which would be impossible in a big city. That’s why I believe people should occasionally get away from urban areas to experience the natural beauty of the night sky.
