SAMPLE ANSWER –

Indian theatre is one of the ancient forms of Asian theatre that has prevailed for centuries. The modern theatre of my country mainly consists of university drama communities that generally have a message to deliver to the spectators. The play that I watched was about a response to a violent gang rape and subsequent death of a student in 2012 in Delhi. This rape case shocked the whole country, and people greatly sympathised with the victim and the family.

Recently, on my visit to Delhi, my cousin took me to attend a theatrical show that was being organised in his university. I was more curious to watch it when he told me about the theme of the play.

The play’s name was ‘Nirbhaya’, which symbolises ‘fearless’ in Hindi. The play was written and produced by a renowned South African playwright, and the entire cast and backstage workers were Indian. This play mainly aimed to break through the silence among women who have suffered gender-based violence. The quality of production and the whole performance were remarkable and could easily be observed by the audience’s expression and applause.

I consider that this theatrical show was a thought-provoking one, as it delivered the message of societal change that is much required in our community. It was a compelling depiction of the awful truth that an innocent student had gone through when she boarded a bus with her male friend in the busy streets of Delhi. The hard-hitting truth clearly shows that we could not be silent anymore. Lastly, it was the most powerful and emotional theatre play that I’ve ever seen.

IELTS Speaking latest cue card 2020. Describe an indoor game that you liked to play when you were a child? What is it? With whom did you play it?
SAMPLE ANSWER

Like other children, I’ve played several games, both indoor and outdoor, and, in fact, I try to play whenever I get time.

Among those games, I enjoyed playing snakes and ladders more than others. It’s an indoor board game based on numbers where 2 to 4 players can play at a time. Since this game required placing the foldable board on a surface and using dice and tokens, it was convenient to play snakes and ladders almost anywhere.

I usually played it with my friends on weekends and with my cousins during my school vacation. Sometimes I played it with my father also. In f

act, I would admit my father taught me to play this game. He wanted to teach me how to count, and playing this game made learning exciting.

What I liked most about this game was the excitement of climbing the ladders on board as well as the rolling of the dice. When the opponent players landed on a snake and had to come sliding down, it gave me the utmost joy! When I lost the game, I used to end up crying.

I still remember my father used to lose the game deliberately so that I could win. I used to get jubilant when winning from him.

Even today, I like to play this game, as it brings back fond memories of my childhood. It’s a great way to create a bond with our loved ones and spend quality time with them.

Part 2 Cue Card

Describe a skill (for example, driving, speed reading etc.) you have learned successfully
You should say:

  • What skill you have learned?
  • Why you learned it?
  • Who helped you learn it?

and explain what helped you to become good at the skill.

Sample Answer

Skills play a defining role in our lives. They make us more efficient and productive. Today, I am going to talk about a skill that I learnt successfully.
Two years ago, I learnt how to drive a car. I live in the countryside, and my workplace is about 20 km away from my home. When I started working, either my father or my sister used to drop and pick me up at the office every day. But, after a while, this daily duty became an unnecessary burden for them, as they have their own jobs. In general, I am a confident person, but this dependency on others affected my self-esteem. So, I immediately decided to take driving lessons.
There is a well-known driving school near my home. I contacted the school and took two months’ training. The trainer was very friendly. He always gave clear instructions and prepared me really well for the driving test. Later, I successfully passed the driving test and obtained my driving licence.
Driving is a skill which takes a lot of time to master. But, once you overcome the fear of driving on crowded roads, it gives you immense satisfaction and pleasure. The same thing applies to me. To improve my car-driving skills, I drove daily to my office and to other nearby locations. I used to make mistakes at the beginning, but I always took a note of them and tried not to repeat them.
In short, my commitment, perseverance and dedication helped me become a skilled driver.

Part 2, Part 3 Follow-up questions

Skills and everyday life
Q. 1 Can you compare the skills that are important nowadays with the skills that were important 20 or 30 years ago?
Sample answer: Twenty/thirty years ago, traditional skills like weaving, knitting, sewing and earthenware pottery making were an integral part of people’s lives. But, nowadays, computer, management, language, and data analysis skills are given more importance.
Q. 2 What skills are valued most in your country?
Sample answer: My country is a developing nation, and there are many sectors such as banking, manufacturing, information technology, tourism, etc. In almost every sector, basic computer skills and communication skills are of utmost significance.
Q. 3 What kind of skills might be important in the future?
Sample answer: This is an interesting question. Considering the amount of data generated every day, I think that in the future the demand for research and data analysis skills will rise considerably.
Skills and training
Q.4 What qualities does a good trainer need to have?
Sample answer: In my opinion, a professional trainer should have a wide range of skills. Firstly, he/she should possess an in-depth knowledge of his field. Secondly, he/she must be friendly, punctual and impartial. Thirdly and most importantly, he/she should lead by example.
Q. 5: Why should companies invest a lot of money in training?
Sample answer: Training programmes are vital for the growth of a company. A company with trained staff is more likely to outperform its competitors. Regular training sessions upgrade the knowledge and skills of employees, which in turn leads to higher productivity and profitability. For this reason, many companies spend a major part of their annual budget on different types of trainings.
Q. 6 Do you think schools and universities prepare young people well for the future employment?
Sample answer: Not really. I think that secondary schools and universities in most parts of the world focus too much on conventional academic subjects like mathematics, science, history, etc. Professional skills are often neglected. This imbalance between theoretical and practical knowledge has a negative impact on the future job prospects of young people.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card: Talk about the happiest situation in your life.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card: Talk about the happiest situation in your life.

Happiness is the one feeling that can shape our lives. When a person is happy, he or she is more likely to make better decisions and do the right things with his or her life rather than comparing it to the time when he or she is not so excited about his or her project. This time we are looking at the IELTS cue card that talks about the happiest situation in the life of an individual.

Talk about the happiest situation in your life.

You should say –

  • What was the situation?
  • When did it happen?
  • What landed you in the situation?
  • Explain, how do you feel about it?

Sample answer

There have been many times I have felt happy about my life, but if I had to talk about the happiest situation, it was when I got placed in a leading company. It was after a lot of perseverance that I landed myself in the company. I joined around three years back and it has been an amazing ride since I joined the company.

Actually, I consider myself to be a hard-working individual, and I have proved it time and again. One day my seniors organised a meeting with all the associates and told us about a very difficult assignment which needed to be worked upon for a client. We received different task allocations and started working upon them. After poring over the data and figuring out the solutions, I finished my work and submitted it. I then proceeded to help my colleagues and played my part in finishing the project before the deadline. During all this time, our seniors kept a close eye on our individual progress.

Now at the next meeting, we were told that our work was good and the client appreciated our efforts. My manager called me over and proceeded to announce that everyone was pleased by my exceptional work ethics, and they have decided to promote me as a team leader. My joy knew no bounds at that moment, and I thanked everyone profusely. I felt satisfied knowing that my efforts helped me achieve success. It is indeed a great feeling when your endeavour pays off with such results.
