The important thing to keep in mind that the topic given in IELTS speaking test cannot be changed. With the speaking topic, 3 to 4 cues are provided which helps candidates to answer the question to the point.
Describe an expensive activity that you enjoy doing occasionally.
You should say
- What is it
- Who do you do it with
- Why is it expensive
- And explain how you feel about it
Well, When people have some interests then it does not matter how much they spend on their hobby. I love water sports and it is very costly to do any watery sports. I try to save money for doing Scuba Diving every year. Therefore, I save a small portion of my salary to go to scuba diving.
I live in the middle of the country and therefore, for this activity, I travel to coastal areas in my country. I go with my friends and I also hire a guide who takes me to the best location to see the natural wonders of the ocean. I do a lot of research to find the best spot to see coral leaves and other sea creatures. A guide is more familiar with the location and takes hobbyists, like me, to see more beautiful locations. Moreover, a guide also helps me if something goes wrong during a trip.
The reason why this activity is so expensive is that locations for Scuba Diving are located at coastal areas or at Islands. I pay for travelling to visit these remote locations, accommodation, hiring a guide and rent a ship. Also, the types of equipment used are also quite costly, like Scuba diving suit and oxygen cylinder. It costs me around $2000 for each trip.
It is always a great experience when I go for diving. It is full of thrill, excitement, and anxiety. I always see new creatures underwater and new spots.
So, this is the expensive activity I do once in a year.
