A gift that you presented

You must say:

What was the gift?

What was the occasion?

Whom did you give it to?

Why was this gift very special?

Cue Card Sample Answer:

Gifts play an important role in our lives. Today, I’m going to talk about a present which I gave to my cousin. He works as a marketing executive in a multinational company. Recently, he was promoted to the head of the sales department. To celebrate his achievement, he threw a party and warmly invited me to his house. As per the traditions and customs of our society, I decided to buy a present for him as a token of my warm wishes. For this, I visited a nearby mall but due to the inadequate collection I couldn’t find the best suitable item.

Finally, I found a multi-brand store nearby and I looked for my choice there. Within no time, the salesman showed me an eye-catching set of cufflinks, tie and a pocket square with an attractive packing. That was exactly what I wanted, so I finalized it immediately and I requested the shopkeeper to wrap the same in a decorative wrapping paper. On the eve of the party, I presented it to my cousin. To my surprise, he liked it so much that he wore it on the party night. This gift was unique for several reasons. Firstly, the amount of time and energy I spent in purchasing it. Secondly, it served the purpose and everyone praised for its appealing color and design. Not to mention, my cousin was looking outstanding with the tie because it was a perfect match with his well-designed black suit.

IELTS Cue Card # Ways To Relax

August 24, 2022 IELTS Research

There is so much work that we all do but when it is all work and no play we surely get tired easily. Most of the people, hence figure out a way to relax a bit. Let us today have a look at a cue card that talks about ways a person can relax.

Describe a way to relax that you find effective.

You should say:

what you do

where & when you usually do this

who you usually do it with

and explain why this is relaxing for you.

Sample Answer One

I really like taking short breaks while I am working. So, after having worked for almost like an hour, I would go out of my seat and walk a little bit here and there, drink water and just completely close my eyes for some time and be proud of myself for the work that I have done for an hour.

I do it almost for everything. So, it could be while I am playing or working or for that matter while I am studying. It is very important for me because I believe that having a ten minutes break in every hour, not only allows me to push myself harder, it also helps me not to get drained by the kind of work that I do.

I am a software engineer and doing the relaxing thing makes me more committed and focused towards the work. Although, people go out and relax with their friends, I prefer doing this activity alone, so I have no one to talk to and can completely feel good about peace and silence and just go back to work with new mind.

The reason it works for me is because, I am not that sort of a person who can work a lot. But, then I have got dreams which I need to get fulfilled. This every hour break makes me feel as if I am having my quality time and I am able to relax a bit here and there. This allows me not to be exhausted or over whelmed by the work that I do.

Sample Answer Two

I love relaxing after a tiring day but for me the best way to relax is by playing badminton. So, every day after I have finished my work I go out to play badminton with my friends. It is almost exciting and relaxing because to be able to play the game well it is very important for me to forget about whatever has happened in the entire day and focus on what is happening at the present.

This exercise not only makes me good because it is a kind of physical activity but also refreshes because there is so much of mental activity involved in it. And then I with my friends take up those silly competitions, like who is going to win, how long can we play and things like where to hit the target. It is amazing and makes me feel good and prepared for the other day.

Also, when I am playing, it makes me feel as if I am having both, work life balance which helps me go out and do my work in a better way. Because, after the work I know that I do have time for myself and I can enjoy with my friends.

The reason I love it is because apart from just whiling away my time, I am actually doing a physical and a mental activity and it helps me to be able to remain fit and work better.

IELTS Cue Card # Course In College

August 23, 2022 IELTS Research

College is the time when we shape ourselves. When we decide what are our areas of interest and what are the things that we want to do in our life. This is the time of becoming. Some do it by indulging in extra curricular activities, while others do it by taking some courses in college. Today, let us have a look at some of the cue card questions related to a course one took in college.

Describe a course you took in your college or university.

You should say:

What it was

When you took it

What you learned from this course

And explain why you took this course.

Sample Answer One

I remember we had a course in my Bachelors of UNIX. There were several other courses as well, but for some reasons I was fascinated by this course. It was great to learn UNIX, because understanding how it works made me understand how an operating system work and that in turn helped me in understanding how computers worked.

I took the course in my fourth semester of Bachelors in Technology. The course taught me how to write commands to make things work in the system and the commands were not the single lined or word commands. It was more like mixing and matching the commands to get the required output. There would be days when I would just worry about a single command and how to get a particular output. And then there were days in which I would break the entire code and try to run the code in pieces because of some error.

It was tough but it was fun. The feeling when the program ran or when I was able to solve that one problem, it was fun and nothing can take that feeling. I remember learning lot of things from this course and they are still in use by me. But, what I learnt the most was how to learn things. It is not about settling in time and fixing the effort. It is more about working for it until you get the result. You need to solve those errors and bugs until you get the required result and it was a true and amazing lesson learnt.

When I look back at it, I think the reason that I took the course was because I fell in love with how simple commands dictate the entire computer industry and then it is about the permutation and combination of these simple commands that make up the entire big commands through which we are doing things. It was great I believe and every person should definitely learn the in and out of an operating system.

Sample Answer Two

I went to a college where we did not had any freedom to take courses of our choice but there was a event that took place for a length of around one month and I was part of it. Later on, I was awarded with a certificate for taking the course.

It was a travel event. So, the college needed volunteers who could travel around the city in weekends and get to know the details of the city. Not just the historical places that are there to visit, but the areas where poor people lived, the red light areas, the ones which no one would go to, meet people who no one would ever go and meet. I think for me it was a course because I believe no one can teach you better than experience. And for me that was a great experience.

I was part of a team, where I had with me two more people, one was a photographer and the other was a writer. We went on to meet people, see places, interact with different people, write down things, click photographs and then come back after two days and in the entire weekdays would go on writing about the events that happened in the weekends. It was an amazing experience, we came to know more about the city an in the mean while more about ourselves.
There were times when we felt like losing and the next moment was when we won. People initially did not wanted to talk to us and then we found out ways different to make them comfortable and get to know about their lives.

The one thing that I learnt from this course that perseverance is truly the key to success. If you are not persistent, there is no point of success.

IELTS Cue Card # Future Goals

August 22, 2022 IELTS Research

We all have future goals, we all want to be something, achieve something and put a mark in this universe. Let us today have a look at the cue card that focuses on this aspect of us, the goal that we have for our lives.

Describe what you want to do in the future.
You should say:

What is it?

When you want to do it?

How you want to achieve it?

and explain why you want to do it.

Sample Answer One

We all make goals for our lives, the ones that we all work hard to achieve. In my future, I would want to open a company that gives equal education rights to everyone. It is seen that the government is doing a lot in educating people. But, there are a lot of loopholes in it. For example, the education quality is not that good. Even more, there is discrimination that happens on the basis of caste and religion which does hamper the education.

I want to be able to provide good, healthy education to everyone. I wish that the people who study in my school are the ones who go about and shape the future. They are the ones who ahead of themselves think about other aspects of life and human beings as well. The ones who are not just machines doing things, but humans living life.

As per my plan, I have started taking baby steps towards it and I hope that in the near future it will become a part of me and I will be able to contribute more into it. There is no such particular time that I have set for achieving it. I just want to get it legally started in my 20s and make sure it grows and expands even after my death.

The only reason that I want to be able to do this is that I want to give back to the universe the gifts that I got. Education is the best of the gifts I have ever received. I believe that a person who is educated right can make society a better place and I wish I be the one who starts it.

Sample Answer Two

Every one has future goals and aspires to be someone or do something. I particularly have no future goals apart from the one which states that I want to live my life. I want to happy and I wish that ten years from now when I look back at my life, I should be able to recall it. So, I want to travel around the world, click photographs, talk to as many people as I can and explore my country.

I believe that my country India is very vast and apart from what has been written in the history books, there is so much more to it. There are stories of the common man, stories of uncommon kindness, stories that have kicked off the stereotypes and told that it is more about humanity and living happily. Everything else is secondary. I want to tell the world about my magnificent country. Find out what is written in the history books, the religious books, what is that is not written and everything. Someday I want that I am able to represent India and like me, every Indian is able to.

Most probably I would be having a blog in which I will put all my learning and experiences to be shared with the entire world.I wish to write about India and its magnificance. Once I am able to do this, I wish to explore the world outside, beginning with Africa. I want to find out reasons for things like war, peace, agreements, terrorist. Why when we all know we have got a small life, end up fighting, hating or ignoring. We are here to love ourselves, our work, our people and the beautiful world that we all are living in.
