IELTS CUE CARD – A SPORTSPERSON YOU ADMIRE, IELTS BAND7 DEHRADUN

SAMPLE ANSWER

Like majority of my fellow Indians, I love to watch the game of cricket. If I talk of cricket in my country, Sachin Tendulkar is one name which shines like a precious diamond. He was a former captain of the Indian national team and is regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all times. Tendulkar started playing the game at the age of eleven and made his test debut against Pakistan at the age of sixteen. He is a record holder by scoring one hundred double centuries and completing more than 30,000 runs in international cricket. He is lovingly called the little master or master blaster by his fans. He is also considered as the god of cricket by his fans and fellow cricketers. The government of India felicitated him with numerous awards and honors such as Arjuna award, Rajiv Gandhi khel Ratna award, Padma Shri and Padma Vibhushan. He is also the youngest recipient of the Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award. Not only is he a great player but a wonderful human being also. He always motivates and supports young players of not just cricket but other sports as well. In the end I’d like to say that we all are extremely proud of Sachin Tendulkar and wish that all the young players continue to gain inspiration from this great personality.

IELTS Cue card # About collects things

January 30, 2021 IELTS Research

IELTS Cue card – about collects things

Talk about something you or someone you know collects.

what you or this person collects

how the collection is stored

how quickly the collection is growing

What kind of person would enjoy collecting that thing, and why?

Sample Answer

Collecting items is considered to be a hobby by many and it takes a lot of knowledge and interests to collect something worthy. But, with time, it is becoming a diminishing hobby of sorts nowadays however, there are still many people who have kept this ritual alive. One such person that I know of is Mr Khan. He is a next door neighbour of mine and has worked with the Indian Navy. His voyages and expeditions have landed him in various remote corners of the globe. That’s how he developed this hobby of collecting coins.

He has special custom made boxes where he stores his collection. They are made of premium wood and have partitions inside it in order to store each coin individually. Along with these boxes he has a book in which he has gathered as much information about these coins as possible. The notes and his collection are very informative and they speak volumes about themselves. The most striking feature about his collections is that they are arranged according to the countries in an alphabetic order. So to procure information about any coin from any country is very easy.

It has slowed down over the course of past few years. It’s mostly due to the fact that he has retired now and wants to take things easy. Due to the health issues he is not able to travel that frequently however, he still has loads of tourists flocking his doors as his collection is quite famous and every now and then he will lay his hands on something worthy through them.

One needs a vast knowledge of history for collecting coins. Currencies have played vital roles in our knowledge of understanding past. It is a hobby that requires a lot of patience and at the same time it can be very rewarding too. Certain numismatist have amassed millions through their collections. They all have one thing in common which is their love for history.

Speaking Cue Card: Describe a teacher from your past that you remember.

January 29, 2021 IELTS Research

Describe a teacher from your past that you remember.

You should say:

What class the teacher taught you and how old you were

What the teacher’s special qualities and characteristics were

Why you remember this teacher.

Sample Answer:

A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instil a love of learning. Throughout our lives we meet several educationists and teachers and remember a few for the wonderful qualities that they possess. One such teacher that I can recall is Miss Shreeparna Basu. She taught English literature in my 10^th grade. I was almost 16 then.

She was very well versed in various classical literature. She studied at the abode of art, Shantiniketan. She shared an immense love for poetry similar to mine. It was so fascinating to watch her recite all the melodies of Wordsworth and Shakespeare by heart. As a young reader myself, she proved to be the biggest inspiration in my post teenage years. She effortlessly explained the most scary looking paragraphs as if it was some pop song. She is a very patient and honest lady. I used to make her recite certain sonnets and verses for me after the school hours to which she’d always happily agree. She is also an artist. She is an enchanting painter.

She has helped boost my reading habit. She serves a major role in the developing of my vocabulary. She has also helped me improve my communication skills. She took the mind of a small child and influenced it with Elliot and daffodils. She always taught us to be good human beings. She taught us morals and ethics which as a young individual everyone must cultivate. I still remember her for her thoughtful suggestions and honest reviews.

Speaking Cue Card: Describe a time when you had to go to the doctor’s/hospital

January 27, 2021 IELTS Research

Describe a time when you had to go to the doctor’s/hospital

You should say:

What was wrong with you

How you felt at that time

What happened at the doctor’s/hospital

And explain what treatment you were given to help you get better.

Sample Answer:

Hospital is that one place where no one would like to visit. I personally hate going to the doctor’s. But I had to visit one recently. Due to frequent travelling to varied altitudes and atmosphere, I got home having terrible cold and viral infection. It was accompanied by heavy head, continuous sneezing and a runny nose which left me in moderate discomfort.

I felt too sick and in pain. Due to the ever-growing headache I couldn’t concentrate on any thing and found it impossible to do even the smallest everyday task. My head felt like it weighed a ton and I could barely keep my eyes open due to the developing stress. After no more resistance, I decided that I need to visit the doctor’s.

The doctor checked me and asked me how I was feeling. He checked my pulse and my body temperature. He asked me to open my mouth, take my tongue out and checked it subsequently for any possible infections and if there are any possible symptoms of typhoid. He further checked my blood pressure and concluded that I have developed intense allergy infections probably due to the temperature changes and dust inhaled during the travels. He prescribed me some medicines and a cough syrup to be taken at regular interval for 3 days. He advised me to avoid any cold food items and beverages. He also suggested that I drink turmeric milk and ginger lemon honey tea for instant healing. He asked me to take plenty of rest and avoid going out in the dirt. The suggestions were useful and my health improved significantly in a couple of days.
