Describe an Expensive Activity that You Enjoy Doing Occasionally- IELTS Cue Card

Sample Answer

To be honest, I am a very frolicsome person in life and if a fun activity has to come up at the expense of costing me a few bucks, I generally don’t mind that unless I am completely disconcerted by the budget issue or extremely impecunious at a particular time where I am running short of alms. One such activity that I prefer doing recurrently is snorkelling. Being a hydrophilic human being I am, it entices me to a great extent.

Although I don’t have any specific preference as far as carrying out my passion for snorkelling is concerned, the place where I loved doing it the most was Daman. It was the summer of 2020 when I visited Daman to gad across the place and to experience the place on a real-time basis concerning the glories I heard about it. I absolutely loved the place and over and above all, I loved the facility of scuba-diving and snorkelling there. Moreover, the way everything was so organised and plain-sailing over there made it one of my favourite places for water sports activities. As a result, I visited it twice the next year as well.

Since childhood, I have always been lured by water and learned to swim proficiently when I was six years old. It was then that I was introduced to snorkelling by one of my kin. I absolutely adore snorkelling as it takes you underwater and you can see an altogether different space, a different world. The aquatic animals and drop-dead gorgeous plants are some of the things that I love snorkelling.
