Sample Answer

I have been brought up in a family with moral values. One of the most important virtues I have learnt is helping others in need. This value has enabled me to help everyone around me in different ways without expecting anything in return. The most recent incident I can recall was when I helped a family of three people to reach their destination.

I was coming back after dropping my friend off at her hostel located in the outskirts of the city. I noticed a car parked next to the road. The driver was desperately trying to signal other drivers for help. This sight piqued my interest, as the car was a taxi from another city. I stopped my car next to it and got down to speak to the driver. I then came to know that they were out of fuel and could not go any further. There were no fuel pumps nearby, and the family were getting late to reach their relative’s wedding in due time before the celebration started.

Without wasting any more time, I offered to drive them to the hotel where the wedding was taking place and told them to shift to my car. They happily accepted my offer and sat in my car with their luggage. Before leaving, I gave the driver directions to a fuel pump. I took this decision because it was a small family with a one-year-old child. Everyone looked exhausted due to the long journey. They were very happy and relieved when they reached their destination. They thanked me for the timely help. I returned home with a sense of satisfaction.

CUE CARD – Describe something you own which is very important to you

CUE CARD

Describe something you own which is very important to you.

 You should say: 

  • Where did you get it?
  • For how long have you had it?
  • What do you use it for?

and explain why it is important to you.

Answer – One thing I own that is really important to me is my guitar. I got it from my father on my 20th birthday, and honestly speaking, it is one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. I’ve had it for around three years now.

The very first time I used it was as a prop in a college theatre performance. I just carried my guitar on stage and pretended to be a musician. It was a really fun experience, and at that time I never thought I would seriously learn how to play it.

After that performance, I became curious about the instrument. I started watching a few YouTube tutorials and learnt basic chords in my free time. At the beginning, it was quite difficult because my fingers used to hurt, and I kept making mistakes. But I enjoyed the learning process, so I continued practising. Gradually, I improved, and now I can play several songs confidently. Sometimes I even play for my friends when we get together, and they also enjoy it.

Whenever I have a stressful day or just need a break, I play the guitar now to relax and forget my worries. It always lifts my mood, making me happy and cheerful. Sometimes I learn new songs just to challenge myself.

The reason this guitar is so important to me is not only because it was a gift from my father but also because it reminds me of my journey. It started as a special birthday present and even a theatre prop, but today it’s a hobby that I genuinely love and value so much.

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 hand in hand to get the original raw parts and prepare the required designs. The show telecasts the way they work on each of the old parts.

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 every one 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.

Cue Card – Describe a time you received money from a family member

Cue Card

Describe a time you received money from a family member.
You should say:
● When did you receive it?
● Why did you receive it?
● What did you do with the money? and explain how you felt after receiving it.

Answer – I’ve received money as a gift on several occasions, especially from my relatives during festivals and on birthdays. However, one particular occasion that really stands out in my memory was when my grandmother gave me money on my birthday last year.
On that day my family gathered at our home for a small celebration, and as usual, my grandmother gave me some money as a gift. However, this time it was a much bigger amount than what she normally used to give me. When I opened the envelope, I was pleasantly surprised because I wasn’t expecting to receive such a huge amount at all.
The main reason she gave me that money was that she knew I had been saving up to buy a digital camera. I had developed an interest in photography and often talked about wanting a camera of my own. What touched me the most was the fact that my grandmother supported my interest and wanted to help me achieve my goal. Her gesture made me feel loved and encouraged.
Instead of spending the money right away, I decided to save it. I added it to the savings I already had and continued putting aside some of my pocket money. After a few months, I finally had enough money to buy the digital camera I wanted. Looking back, I think saving that money was the right decision because it helped me purchase something that I truly valued.
I felt incredibly happy and grateful after receiving the gift. Even today, whenever I use that camera, it reminds me of her generosity and the special bond we share. That’s why this gift remains one of the most memorable presents I’ve ever received.
