IELTS Speaking Part 2: favourite season

Describe your favourite season in your country. You should say

- when that season is
- what the weather is like at that time of year
- how that season is different from other seasons
- and why it is your favourite season.

  Let me talk about the summer, which is my favorite season.

  Although summertime temperatures here in California can easily be over 40 degrees Celsius, I still quite enjoy it as this is the time of the year when all outdoor activities are available and open to the public. Besides being hot, it tends to be quite dry and it rarely rains. In fact, we've had summers when we didn't get even a drop of rain.

  Summer in California is very different from all other seasons. The hot and sunny days are clearly what differentiates the summer from the rest. Spring and fall are much cooler and they can be windy with more chances of rain. And during the winter, temperatures can drop below zero, precipitation becomes much more frequent, and higher elevations may get a lot of snow.

  Summer is my favorite season because that's when I can enjoy the outdoors. I don't mind getting a sun tan and I particularly like hiking in the mountains because that's when I can get away from the city to relax, breathe fresh air, enjoy the beautiful sceneries, and get lots of photo opportunities. During the entire summer, 99% of the time is sunny, so I don't need to worry about the rain or anything that can ruin my trips. Summer is just perfect for me!
