Answer of IELTS question:What do you do in your free time?

*IELTS Speaking Part 1 sample answer:*

In my free time, I usually read and go for walks. I love getting lost in a good novel because it helps me relax after work. On weekends, I also enjoy cooking new recipes with my family. It’s a nice way to unwind and spend time together. 

*Tips for a band 7+ answer:*

1. *Be specific*: Instead of "I watch TV", say "I watch documentaries about history". 

2. *Add a reason*: Explain _why_ you like it. 

3. *Use range*: Mix simple and complex sentences, add vocab like "unwind", "get lost in", "catch up with".
