Describe an outdoor activity you did recently.

You should say:

• What the activity was
• When and where you did it
• Who you did it with
• And explain whether you enjoyed it 

Recently, I went hiking with my friends, and it was such a fun experience. The activity was hiking in a small mountain near my hometown. We did it last weekend, and the weather was perfect—sunny but not too hot. The mountain is called Green Hill, and it’s about an hour’s drive from where I live. I went with three of my close friends, and we all love outdoor activities, so we were really excited. We started early in the morning, around 7 a.m., and the trail was peaceful with lots of trees and birds. We took breaks to take pictures and enjoy the view. The best part was reaching the top because the scenery was amazing—you could see the whole town below! I definitely enjoyed it because it was a great way to relax and spend time with friends. Plus, the fresh air and exercise made me feel really good. Next time, I’d like to try a different trail or even go camping there.

When answering the IELTS Speaking Part 2 question about an outdoor activity, here's how to structure your response: First, introduce the activity—say what it was, like hiking or playing soccer. Then, mention when and where you did it, like last weekend at a local park. Next, talk about who you did it with, such as friends or family. Finally, explain whether you enjoyed it and why—maybe it was fun because of the weather or the people. Keep it simple and natural, like telling a story. Focus on fluency and use past tense. Don't forget to add details to make it interesting, like how you felt or what happened. Practice by timing yourself to fit within 2 minutes. Good luck!
