IELTS CUE CARD Talk about a product from your hometown

Sample Answer

Today I will talk about a product from my hometown. I come from a small village in Ghana; my native lands have a rich history in handicraft production and development. But for now I shall focus on the most versatile of them all: the basket.

Our handmade baskets were traditionally made from fibrous materials such as plant roots, bark, vines, banana leaves, cane and papyrus. These were naturally decomposable if rather flimsy. A good basket made in the traditional manner could last two to five years. Now, however, baskets are commonly made of plastic, wire, and in some cases, recycled materials. These have a far longer lifespan, and not all are eco-friendly.

When I refer to a “basket”, I imply a woven material crafted into all manner of shapes for all manner of different uses. Most young girls are taught from a young age how to braid these materials into cases, trunks, jar-like containers, jewellery boxes, carry bags, winnows – anything within the realm of possibility.

That’s why you can never find two identical genuine handmade baskets. There will always be something different among them, be it the structure, pattern, shape, lid, row count or material; anything can vary.

The art of crafting baskets is a cherished tradition. With the tourism industry booming, handmade baskets are a very good income for a rural household. This also gives some power back to the females of the village; in a male-dominated society, they still have a voice because it is their craft keeping the family afloat. During farming season, the grains are winnowed and sifted.

The grains, herbs and spices are stored in cases and jars. They are transported in carry bags to the market. There is hardly a task in my village one can think of that does not pay homage to the art of weaving.

In this way, the basket is more than just a product for our village; it is survival, it is our voice, and it is our craft.

ANSWER:
I believe music and songs play a crucial role in everyone’s life. They never fail to uplift someone’s mood. If I talk about myself, whenever I am feeling upset, I listen to my favourite singer, Taylor Swift. She is an extraordinary singer and a musician. She has sung songs of every genre, like sad and even party songs. She has done concerts globally, widely known by the title Era’s Tour. Her concerts are so popular that almost every time her tickets get sold out.
I would love it if she comes to India, particularly Mumbai, as it is a vibrant city filled with youthful energy. It would be a cherry on the cake if my sister accompanies me, just like me, she is also a die hert fan of Taylor Swift. Furthermore, I would prefer to attend her concert on a Saturday night, as it’s a weekend and it won’t cause any issues with my work schedule.
I have always dreamt of attending her concert, as I wish to see her sing live on stage. I have never attended any concert in my life, so I want to experience the rush of adrenaline and sing songs on the top of my lungs among her fans.
Overall, Taylor’s songs are extremely melodious. I have seen videos of Taylor’s concert on YouTube, and it seems marvellous. I believe if I ever get a chance to attend her concert, it will be an exciting opportunity to take her autograph as well. I think that it will be a memorable experience.

IELTS CUE CARD # DESCRIBE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE. Best IELTS Band7 Coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER –

There are some movies that we watch and forget, while some others have an everlasting effect on our lives. I would like to talk about my favourite movie, 3 Idiots. It is a Bollywood movie directed and produced by a well-known Indian director, Raj Kumar Hirani. Since it was based on a renowned novel, ‘5 Points Someone’, and one of my favourite artists, Aamir Khan, is cast in it, I was extremely eager to watch this film.

The film is focused on three college friends from a prestigious institution of India. The plot revolves around the protagonists belonging to different cultural backgrounds who have different goals in life, but they end up in an engineering institution. Thus, talking about how Asian parents force the dreams on their children. One of them has a unique approach towards life and is blessed with a super technical mind. On the other hand, his friends were not that brilliant and were not interested in a particular field.

This movie was released in 2009, so it’s been quite a long time, but it still remains on the top of my all-time favourite movies. I remember watching it with my friends during my school days. The film is beautifully crafted and has some exciting twists. It gained pretty good recognition among audiences worldwide.

This is my favourite movie, as it has many messages to deliver on friendship, success and the education system of our nation. The movie highlights a friendship bonding among three college friends. It also teaches about following our passion instead of worrying about grades in order to be accomplished in life. The film also questions the Indian education system where one gets job placement based on grades rather than creative ideas and invention.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a person you follow on social media

Speaking – Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a person you follow on social media
You should say:

    • What is he/she ?
    • When did you start following him/her ?
    • Why do you follow him/her ?
    • Explain how you feel about him/her ?

Sample Answer:

Accessibility and affordability of internet connection have drastically changed life. It is easy to connect with people across the globe. On top of it, the commencement of social media has proven to be the most widespread medium to connect with people. It has become a ubiquitous phenomenon by which information can be disseminated to millions of active users.

On social media, one can get a plethora of content depending upon their choice. At present we have several options to connect with people. Well, I follow many famous personalities on Facebook. I vividly, remember making my first Facebook account in 9th grade and getting excited every time I used to log in. I love checking out new content on it. One day scrolling through Facebook, I came across a content creator whose work I thought was worth giving a watch. His name is Sandeep Maheshwari. His videos were quite gripping, which kept me glued to his posts. He emphasises people being conscious about their mental health and not neglecting serious issues like depression. Through his videos, he tries to motivate people by providing them with numerous ways that they can apply in order to lead a happy, stress-free life. Sandeep Maheshwari is a self-motivated person having a good sense of observation. Apart from Facebook, he is active on other social media sites like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. I was completely blown away when I got to know that Sandeep Maheshwari has not monetised his YouTube channel even with millions of subscribers on it. He considers it social help to society. This selfless quality impressed me and inspired me to do something good for society. Since then I started following him religiously.

Apart from being an avid motivational speaker, he is also the founder and CEO of Imagesbazaar.com, the largest collection of Indian stock images that have made him one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurs in India. Today, Sandeep Maheshwari is a renowned name among youngsters and has gained a massive fan following not just in India but in many countries. He has also been featured in almost all the leading magazines, newspapers, and television channels. I consider Sandeep Maheshwari among the world’s best orators.

Speaking – Part 3 (Follow-up questions)
Here are some examples of follow-up questions that the examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to the cue card ‘Describe a person you follow on social media’. 

Q1. What can people do on social media?
Billions of people around the world use social media to share information and make connections. Social media allows you to communicate with friends and family, learn new things, develop your
interests, and be entertained. One can even use social media to broaden their knowledge in a particular field and build a professional network by connecting with professionals.

Q2. Do older people spend much time on social media?
I reckon not much, as they find more peace without using social networking sites; also, they consider social media sites time-consuming. Although, they do use common social apps like WhatsApp and Facebook to stay in touch with their loved ones.

Q3. Are non-social media like television and newspapers still useful?
Indeed, there are still many people who prefer newspapers and television as reliable mediums for getting information. However, with the commencement of social media sites, there is a decline in the use of television and newspapers. Moreover, old people still prefer non-social media over social media apps.

Q4. Do you think older people and younger people will use the same kind of social media software?
Definitely not; older people prefer to use social media in a limited manner, especially when they are bored or when they want to connect with their kith and kin. Whereas youngsters prefer spending time on these virtual apps not only for their research and study purposes but also consider it a ladder to gain fame.
