Topic Card of IELTS Speaking Season: Describe an activity near the water

Ideas: The following ideas are for reference only. I hope you can write your answers according to your actual experience

This topic has two details: activity and water. Because it is an activity, the focus of the description is not on the scenery, but on what has been done and how. As for water, rivers, lakes and seas are fine. Combining the two, we can easily get some specific projects. Stimulate a little, such as surfing, paragliding, motorboat, assault boat. Literature and art are like diving and boating. Close to childhood, such as touching crabs. In fact, the wording of this topic is slightly misleading, especially on near. According to the additional questions in the third part, it is obvious that the examiner does not want to ask about activities near water, but on land. It's a water related activity.

In addition, it is also a sport. You can refer to Describe a famous athlete you know 。

The following is the reference answer given by the old roast duck editor according to the specific question requirements:

The activity I am going to tell you is a whale-watch experience. Last year, my corporation organized a trip to Japan. According to to the plan, we could either go for the whale watch or choose diving. I opted for the former one.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the travel company picks up the person at the gate of the hotel. Take a bus to the dock, sign the agreement, and then take a boat to the sea to look for whales. Soon we arrived at the area where whales lay eggs, and whales appeared from time to time. People in the travel company even named them, Echo, Kiwi, Samson and moon dancer. Samson and moon dancer often appear together, while Kiwi always likes to be near the boat. Each of them has its own personality. Moon dancer is very elegant, she will appear gently and then dive into the water. Samson is more energetic. It always jumps out of the water. Kiwi always makes a lot of noise and can easily find her. The moon dancer is also easy to identify. Because she has a huge fin behind her.

The travel agent picked me up at the hotel at 8 o’clock in the morning and transported me to the dock. After signing up some agreement, I boarded on a boat and set out to search for the whales. Soon we reached the area where they conducted reproduction and there were whales appearing on the surface of the sea from time to time. This article is f rom Laokaoya website. Do not copy or repost it. The travel agent even named them, Echo, Kiwi, Samson, and Moon dancer. Samson and Moon dancer often emerged together, but it was Kiwi who was the real character. She loved to come close to the boat. They all had their own personalities. Moon dancer was very elegant and curved out and into the water v ery smoothly while Samson had a lot of energy. He was always leaping out of the water with great vigor. Kiwi made a great deal of noise, so we could often pick her out straight away. Moon dancer was also easy to find because she had a particularly large fin on her back.

Although I felt sick from seasickness, I was very excited to see whales. This is my first time to see whales in reality. They are bigger and more beautiful than I thought.

Though I was a little seasick because of the waves, I was so excited to have this experience. It was the first time I saw whales in real life and they were even bigger and more beautiful than I had expected.
