IELTS Speaking Part 1: Walking

I’d say I’m a fairly keen walker, actually. I log roughly 7 kilometres of walking daily, either commuting to my workplace on foot or going on leisurely evening strolls around the neighbourhood after dinner.

Absolutely, I was a huge fan of wandering around the suburban neighborhood where I grew up after finishing my homework each evening. Those casual strolls with my elder sister forged loads of warm childhood memories for me.

Well, for one thing, well-maintained park trails with lush greenery offer a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Strolling there also eases stress and lets people take in pleasant natural scenery.

If I had the chance, I’d absolutely go for a long ramble along the wild coastal trails in Scotland. The rugged natural scenery, crisp sea air and unobstructed views of the North Sea make every step feel incredibly rejuvenating, far from urban chaos.

Just three days ago, I took a leisurely stroll along the waterfront promenade near my office after work. The golden hour glow bouncing off the river paired with gentle breezes made the walk incredibly soothing, a perfect way to wind down after a busy shift.
