IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic Morning Routines
Sample Answer 1
1. Do you like getting up early in the morning?
Well, to be honest, I don’t really like getting up early in the morning. I’m more of a night owl, so I usually stay up quite late at night and naturally wake up in the afternoon. When I have to get up early, I often feel a bit dizzy and unfocused, so mornings are not really my best time of the day. What do you usually do in the morning? I don’t really have a very fixed morning routine, but most of the time I start by washing up and having a decent breakfast. After that, I usually do some light exercise, which helps me wake up properly and feel more energized for the rest of the day.
2. What did you do in the morning when you were little? Why?
Well, thinking back, when I was a kid, most weekday mornings were spent getting ready for school. I remember my mom used to make me read in the morning because she believed it was good for my concentration and study habits. At the time, I didn’t really enjoy it, but now I can see why she insisted on it.
3. Are there any differences between what you do in the morning now and what you did in the past?
Yes, definitely. When I was in college, I often slept in and sometimes didn’t wake up until noon. Now that I’m working, my schedule is much more fixed, so in the morning I usually focus on preparing for the day’s work, so my mornings are more organized and, well, purposeful than before.
4. Do you spend your mornings doing the same things on both weekends and weekdays? Why?
Not really. On weekdays, my mornings are usually more hectic because I have to rush to work and I tend to plan my day carefully in the morning. On weekends, however, my mornings are much more relaxed. I usually get a good night’s sleep, wake up naturally and spend the morning exercising or taking things at a, let’s say, lower pace.
Sample Answer 2
1. Do you like getting up early in the morning?
Absolutely. I am a morning person. I’m not a night owl at all. So I go to sleep actually pretty early and I wake up at like 5 or 5 30 and I really like it. I feel more productive. I’m in a better mood in the morning and my overall mental wellness is just a lot better if I get up early.
2. What do you usually do in the morning?
Oh there’s so much that you can do in the morning. I feel like I’m a zombie at night. I can’t get anything done but when I wake up in the morning I’ll grab a coffee. I’ll make videos. Sometimes I’ll meditate. I’ll exercise. I’ll grab something to eat and I’ll make a plan for my entire day. So I think if you start by having a really good morning your entire day will go very smoothly. Getting up early is very good for a person I think.
3. What did you do in the morning when you were little? Why?
Yeah so many kids will get up relatively early and for me my brother and I we would get up at 6:30 or 7 and we would love to go down to the basement and watch cartoons. That’s what we did when we were small of course because all kids love cartoons. When I was in my teens I would get up early to play computer games. There were some games that my brother and I were totally obsessed with and if we could we would spend the whole day playing games. But now of course cartoons and video games don’t really appeal to me so much.
4. Are there any differences between what you do in the morning now and what you did in the past?
I think after I turned 30 I became more of a morning person. Before I could sleep in a lot better but maybe now because of my biological clock or something I just naturally wake up early. But it’s a good thing because I am very productive in the morning. I can make videos, I can do my work, I can even call my parents and talk to them which is really a cool thing to do. Before in the mornings I would be lazy, I would be tired and I couldn’t really get anything done. So it’s a good change.
