IELTS Speaking Latest Cue Card# Lesiure Activity

The latest cue card is here and we are talking about lesiure activity that you enjoy doing.

Describe a lesiure activity you like doing.
You should say:

  • Where you do it?
  • Who you do it with?
  • Why you enjoy it?
  • And say what kind of people you would recommend that activity to, and why?
Sample Answer:

Today, I’m going to talk about an activity I enjoy doing in my leisure time. It may sound strange but I love watching Bollywood movies. On Sundays, I invite my close friends to my home for a high tea and all of us watch a film together. It is not always a latest movie. Sometimes, we prefer to see old blockbusters which ruled the hearts of millions of Indians in the seventies.
The main reason why I find this activity fun is that I work six days a week, Monday to Saturday. I hardly get time to meet my friends on weekdays. So, this plan acts as a perfect stress buster for all of us. It not only brings us together but also enables us to share our feelings and problems.
Since most of us lead a busy and stressful life these days, we should make sure that we have some time for our family members and friends. I believe that the communication over social networking sites is very different from face-to-face interaction. Online communication is affecting the way we interact with people and the type of relationships we make. It is also killing our ability to build strong relationships with people. Anyone who wants to bring a positive change in their life should try a cup of tea and an entertaining film with your loved ones. I reckon it will do wonders.

IELTS Speaking latest cue card 2020. Describe a picture or a photograph in your home /room that you likeWhat is it about?

Sample Answer

 

Photographs capture moments in time clearer than our memories are capable of. Humans have used Photographs in abundance in the past decade to try and capture life’s most important and most trivial moments. This has led to a fad of over documentation, often at the consequence of missing reality to be able to capture it virtually.

Today I will talk about a very special photograph of me when I was around the age of 5. In the image, I am seen sitting in on ‘Santa Claus’s’ lap for a special Christmas event in a fully decked out mall. Behind one can make out a giant Christmas tree adorned with fairy lights and baubles; giant piles of decorative presents underneath.

My likeness can be seen wrapped up in a warm shawl and my very favourite red cap, rosy cheeks and the biggest grin as I had just wisped to ‘Santa’ my wish. ‘Santa’ had on a heavy blush, a nose red enough to make even Rudolf blush, and the classic half foot long white misty beard cum moustache.

The event was held every year on the days leading up to Christmas in most major malls, parents would take their children to see a friendly volunteer as ‘Santa’ who would listen to all the kid’s dreams, laugh a big belly laugh and give his blessings. Some days Book Readings were also conducted.

Back when the photo was taken, our family had just moved there and were unfamiliar with this custom, for it was our first Christmas in a Christian country. My parents tell me the photo might never have taken place had they not delayed their last-minute gift shopping. But I am glad the events played out the way they did; Else today I would not have this heartwarming image sitting framed in a cheesy glitter and mistletoe frame on our mantelpiece. It is a reminder to always smile and keep going, that is one image which will never become a waste of space.

 

Similar Question with Answer:

Describe a picture or a photograph in your home/room that you like

  • What is it about?
  • Where is it in your home?
  • How you got it?
  • Why you like it?
SAMPLE ANSWER

Some photographs are for decoration while some capture the best moments of our lives and keep our memories of those cherished moments alive. A few months ago, I was going through my collection of photo albums when a family photo caught my attention. It is one of my favourite photographs where I am standing with my parents in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It was taken several years ago when I visited Paris with my parents as a child.  I got it framed recently and it is placed on the wall above the study table in my bedroom.

Whenever I look at the picture it reminds me of the good times I had with my parents especially during that particular vacation abroad. I remember vividly, it was my birthday and this trip to see the Eiffel Tower was a gift from my parents. I can clearly recall how my parents had a small celebration near the water fountains and rows of flowers, where this picture was taken. It was one of the best birthday celebrations I ever had as a child.

My parents have grown old now and when I see this photo it brings back fond memories of my childhood. I don’t see them often now as I have moved to another city and whenever I miss them I have a look at the photograph. It doesn’t let me feel lonely and I feel them around me. Seeing my parents extremely young and lively in it brings a gentle smile on my face!

CUE CARD – Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste

Speaking – Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste.

 

You should say:

    • When did you see it?
    • Where did you see it?
    • How you felt after seeing it?
Sample Answer 

Plastic waste has become is a pressing global problem. I explicitly remember a time when I saw a lot of plastic waste.

Last year, my friends and I planned a trip to Goa, a place famous for its exquisite beaches and mesmerising sunsets. We had a lot of fun there and explored some interesting places. We went to one of the famous beaches in Goa. It was truly amazing and had beautiful spots.

We were completely lost in admiring the beauty of that place until we noticed a heap of plastic garbage near the beach. Undoubtedly, it was a blot on the beauty of that place. The worst part was that animals nearby were consuming the waste, which was very harmful for their health.

All of us were quite upset with what we saw. We decided to give that place a new look and make our trip memorable. Certainly, it was not a piece of cake, but we couldn’t just leave that mess behind. We were filled with firm determination to clean it, so we divided ourselves into two groups, which had different tasks. One group collected the waste and packed it in bags, while the other cleaned.

Watching us, other tourists joined us, and it became a big hit. We were able to clean the place within few hours. It was not less than a victory for each of us. The locals appreciated our efforts and apologised for the negligence they showed towards that place.  They even assured us that from now on they would definitely take care of that place and would be vigilant about it.

Speaking -Part 3 (Follow up questions)

Here are some examples of follow-up questions that examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to the cue card ‘Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste’.

Q1. Why do people often like to use plastic?

I reckon, the ultimate reason why people use plastic is that it is durable. Depending upon the composition, most plastic items take years to decompose. Another reason why people prefer plastic is because it is cheaper than other options available, for example, jute or paper bags.

Q2. How can we reduce the use of plastic?

There are many things that can be done to reduce plastic consumption. For instance, we can opt for eco-friendly options like Jute bags in place of plastic bags. Apart from this, instead of using plastic containers or bottles, we can switch to steel or aluminium products.

IELTS Cue Card: Describe a television programme that you watch

Describe a television programme that you watch.

You should say:

  • What kind of television programme it is?
  • What usually happens in the television programme?
  • Why you enjoy watching the television programme?

And explain why you would recommend the television programme to the other people.

Sample Answer:

I don’t watch TV so often but whenever I find a chance I always try and watch a show called “Kings of Restoration”. It is featured on the History Channel. It is a great show for anyone who has an interest in art and creativity.

The show starts with the announcement of the product received recently for restoration. Rick Dale, the owner and the host along with his team explores the product and tells about its current condition and what ideas they have for fixing it.  They get a variety of products from old broken vending machines to automobiles. The whole team works hands in hands to get the original raw parts and prepare the required designs. The show telecasts the way they work on each of the old part.

I love watching this show for a number of reasons. I used to team up with my dad as a child and watch the whole series with uttermost fascination. So, this show holds memories with my dad. As both of us have a deep profound interest in machines and tools, we would often talk over our own suggestions and ideas while watching it.

This TV programme has also helped me come up with a lot of creative solutions for my old goods and helped me restore many items that weren’t in use. The best part about the show is always the ending scene when they finally give away the restored product to the owner. It leaves everyone of us including the customer enthralled and amazed. I recommend this show to everyone because it’s a perfect Sunday afternoon show for both the young and old. It not only entertains the viewers but also provides a lot of knowledge at the same time.
