IELTS Speaking Part 1 Questions – Topic: Stay up late

1. Do you often stay up late?

Oh yes, since I am a night owl (someone who stays up late), I usually sit up for (to stay awake and not go to bed although it is late) doing my assignments. I feel like I can maximize my productivity if I work at night. So I oftentimes (often) stay up late.

2. Did you often sleep late when you were young? How have your sleeping habits changed since you were young?

No I don’t think so, when I was little, I was such a creature of habit (someone who always does the same thing in the same way). I always went to bed at exactly 10pm in the evening. Now I always have to burn the midnight oil (to work late into the night) to finish my work.

3. How do you feel when you wake up after a late sleep?

Well I usually feel a bit groggy (weak and unable to think clearly or walk correctly) and fatigued (tired) throughout the day, however, a cup of coffee can always do me good (be beneficial to someone, especially to their health). It really helps re-energize my mind and I can stay focused much better.

4. Do you like to read before bed?

Yes, I do. To me, it is such a best way to reduce depressive thoughts and reading before bed actually helps de-stress (to get rid of feelings of stress) myself. So I often spend about 30 minutes reading before going to sleep.
