IELTS Cue Card # Important Skill

We all are born with certain skill sets. Let us today have a look at some of the questions related to skills that can be asked in the cue card section of IELTS speaking .

Describe a skill which is important to you.

You should say:

  • What is it?
  • How difficult it is to learn?
  • How can one learn it?

and explain why this is important to you.

Sample Answer One

There are so many skills that are very important for a person to succeed in life. I believe in today’s world, the one skill set that is very important is communication skill. We are living in a century, where it is all about presenting your ideas, your thoughts and your decisions well. It is all about marketing. So, you might have a great product but fail in communication, leading to an entire failure.

Improving on communication skills is not very difficult however I would say it is very time consuming. You cannot improve your communication skills in just a day or may be a month. It sometimes takes more than four months, sometimes years and for some it is more or less life time learning.

The only way a person can improve on the communication skills is by communicating with lot of people. That requires breaking from the barriers of what the other person might think and more than that it requires lot of practice as well. So, you need to go talk to yourself in the mirror and then may be record yourself and judge yourself. Even more, you need to listen to the great speakers and how they interacted. There is so much that has to be done. From the internal practice that goes on daily, interacting with others and then not losing hope. Improving communication skills is more of a habit than a skill that can be just improved by giving only a certain time to it.

The reason I believe it is the most important skill is because we all have become digitalized, we all don’t have much of time and to grasp anyone’s attention you have got just five minutes and in those five minutes, the ones who are able to attract attention, are the ones who get heard.

Sample Answer Two

The world has drastically changed and the skills which were considered the most important have now lost their importance. And in this shift of skills the one skill that has emerged to be the most important is the ability to use computers well.

With the coming of internet and social media, anyone who wants a job as basic as a receptionist needs to know how to use computers. Because, everything is being stored in the computers and retrieved from it. Gone are the days of register entries, we are in the times when every individual is having a smart phone and they are using it for various works.

Although, there is a certain skepticism in the minds of people regarding the use of computers. I believe the basic use of it can be learnt very easily. So, may be in a month a person can very well type documents, make average presentations and use Internet. This is the most basic and important requirements and can be learnt easily. However, to be able to use computers more effectively, it comes with time. So, the more often you use computers, the better it is.

The one way a person can learn a computer is by using a computer. It is so easy, everything is there in front of you and you have to start experimenting with it. One can also learn computers from a coaching or may be through a friend but I am still of the opinion that the best way to learn computers is by using it. So, one should buy a computer and start using it and exploring it.

The reason I am emphasizing on learning computers is because they make our life very easy and bring along with them lot of opportunities. if one needs to get a good job or even if perform the daily activities easily, computers have become an essential thing for us.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Important Thing

We all posses certain things which are important to us. It could be either a camera or a pen or may be a laptop. Something that we wish stays with us forever. It might be gift or may be something one bought after saving a lot of money. Let us today, have a look at some of the things people find important using the IELTS cue card.

Describe a thing you possess which is important to you.

You should say:

  • What it is?
  • What it can do?
  • How you use it?

and explain why it is important to you.

Sample Answer One – Laptop

There are so many things that are important for me, but I think the one thing I cannot live without is my laptop. I have got MacBook Air and have recently bought it. It is my first laptop and before buying it, initially I thought of buying a plain IBM computer. But, for some reasons, MacBook Air struck a chord with me. I just wanted to have it and started saving for it. It took me three months of saving and rigorous work routine before I could buy myself, my first laptop a MacBook Air.

The device has got 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. With such high specifications, I can do almost about anything in the computer, from blogging to writing heavy codes and then learning lot of things from the app store available. You can click photos, send documents, basically everything that one can do on a personal computer, only a bit faster and better.

I use it extensively for coding. Being a software engineer I need a laptop that is secure and is less susceptible to crashes. And MacBook air suits the bill. It is safe and my date is always secure. Even more, since it is light weight it is very easy for me to carry it with myself on the various travel trips that I take.

The reason that I love my MacBook is because it helps me get the best of both worlds. Not only can I easily blog on it, I can also code fairly well.

Sample Answer Two – DSLR

The one thing that I cannot imagine my life without is my DSLR. Being a travel blogger, it is very important for me to be able to click great photographs and create nice videos. Understanding the need of DSLR in my business, I bought for myself a CANON EOS 1200 D. The camera is my best company when I have to travel.

I can click photos, create videos and then sometimes get completely lost in my world of pictures. The camera can click photographs of high clarity and the zoom level clarity is so fine that one can instantly fall in love with it.

I remember saving for two months and working vigorously before I could buy myself my first DSLR. Although, there were so many people who asked me to buy a normal digital camera and not bury myself to death for a DSLR, for some reasons my heart was at it. And when I bought it, the day was amazing.

Although it was expensive in the beginning, since I have been using it for travel blogging, the site has earned me quite well. As a result, I have been able to afford the camera and now even upgrade it to better lenses.

The reason why I love the camera so much is because it keeps me close to two loves of my life, travelling and writing. Had it not been for the camera, I can’t imagine my travel blog happening. With cash flowing in, now people do understand that things like traveling and following passion are very much practical and can be done, or rather should be done.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Trip On Public Transport

There are so many times that we go out to visit places on a public transport. Some of the times the trips are amazing, however there are times when the trips turn out to be night mares for us. This time we are going to talk about a trip on public transport.

Describe a trip that you made by public transport.

You should say:

  • When and where you went
  • What kind of transport you used
  • How was your trip

and explain why did you choose to use public transport

Sample Answer

Public transports, according to my father are the safest means of commuting from one place to another. So, one day, while coming back from shopping, I got late and decided to go by public transport. The place that I went to was 1 hour away from the training center where I had my accommodation fixed.

When I boarded the bus, it was kind of filled and I did not got any seat to sit. However, I thought that it might get empty as the journey would begin as people might start leaving the bus and would go for their homes. But, it was a wrong speculation made which I realized later on. With time passing by, more and more people started filling in and at one point of time we were all standing neck to neck with each other having no space between two bodies.

To worsen the situation, the bus did not had any opened windows and after some time it became very suffocating. Initially, I thought I will be able to bare it but to my surprise, after twenty minutes I fainted. I could barely stand and the girl sitting next to me, gave me her seat. It was a lovely gesture that she did and I thanked her for it.

The seat was a real relief, although there were still so many people standing on my head, with me being able to sit, I was able to regain some energy. The girl left the bus after some time and the one hour long journey came to end after some time.

It was a real terrific experience for me because I was emaciated and torn. It was that day that I swore not to travel by public transport. However, later I had to because of certain reasons, but the travel was fine. I suppose, it must have been a bad day.

Public transports are the most common way to commute between cities in our country. Most of the people use public transports like city bus or inter-city buses to travel. Last month I had to go to Puri to visit the Puri Rath Yatra and planned to travel by a taxi. However, due to some reasons the taxi driver refused to come and I had to travel using public transport. I chose the city bus to reach the bus stand and then from there took the bus to reach Puri.

Initially, I did not got seat for five minutes, but the conductor was kind enough to make changes in the seat arrangement and make sure that I have the seat, in the next five minutes. I got a window seat and was able to see the scenery outside. It was a real beautiful experience for me as it was the time of Rath yatra and along with me there were several other devotees. Some of them started chanting mantras and songs in praise of their deities. The entire environment was so soothing and nice that one could just instantly fall in love with everything.

I reached Puri in about an hour and half and from there went to the Rath Yatra. On coming back, I again preferred the city bus service as I found them really nice and comfortable.

IELTS BAND7

We all love our parents and believe that parents do play a very important role in everyone’s life. But the one parents, or for that matter, the one mother that I truly adore is the mother of great scientist Thomas Alva Edison. I don’t know much about her because of the reason that there is so less said about her but the one incidence that is talked about gives a lasting impression of the kind of lady she was.

It is said that once Thomas came back home with a note saying that he cannot read or write anymore and his mother read it and told that he is brilliant and can achieve whatever he thinks he can. Instead of losing faith on his child because of what the school said, her mother believed his child. She taught him and I think it was only because of her that the world had one of the greatest scientist of the century, Thomas Alva Edison.

There are parents who love their child, ones who teach their child but someone who could trust their  child even when the world went against them, it requires lot of love, perseverance and trust.

I believe to be a good parent requires you to be great individuals first. Because a child often learn more by what he or she sees than what he or she is told to do. Apart from that the one thing which I believe truly separates normal parents from the great parents, is the trust they have on their child and his or  her potential. It surely takes lot of love and more important trust ones own upbringing to be able to trust the child completely.

I believe it is only when a child is trusted and told that he or she is trusted that the true nature of the child evolves.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answers # Ideal Parents

The most important person in any individual’s life are his or her parents. Parents are the people who tend to shape the individual. Although, every individual admires his or her parents the most, their are certain people in our lives whom we adore irrespective of whether they are associated with us or not. Let us today have a look at questions related to ideal parents that might be asked in the cue card section.

Describe people that you know and believe to be very good parents.

You should say:

  • Who are they?
  • How did you meet them?
  • Why do you think they are good parents?

and explain what it requires to be good parents.

Parents are the most important people in any ones life and my parents are the most important for me. But, I think when it comes to talking of people I know and believe they are truly good parents, I think the names that comes to my mind is that of Will Smith and Jaden Smith. These are the two most popular parents of the Hollywood industry and have raised some beautiful kids.

Sadly, I have never been able to meet them in real life but I have seen enough of their interviews with others and sometimes with their children, explaining how they raise their kids and the kind of values they imbibe in them. The reason I think they are great parents because they did taught their children things which I think everyone should teach their kids.

One of them is experiment. They have asked their kids to experiment with their passions and the other things that they love. In a particular interview, Jaden talks to her child and says that it is very important for you to love yourself because it is only when you love yourself that you can go about and fall in love with someone else and that is how the world falls in love with you.

In one interview, Will Smith talks of how for you to be able to create a wall it is very important for you to be able to put that one brick perfectly and that is how life is lived. I think these are some great lessons that are taught and the way they live, I believe they are truly great parents.

I believe to be a good parent requires you to be great individuals first. Because a child often learn more by what he or she sees than what he or she is told to do. Apart from that the one thing which I believe truly separates normal parents from the great parents, is the trust they have on their child and his or  her potential. It surely takes lot of love and more important trust ones own upbringing to be able to trust the child completely.

I believe it is only when a child is trusted and told that he or she is trusted that the true nature of the child evolves.

We all love our parents and believe that parents do play a very important role in everyone’s life. But the one parents, or for that matter, the one mother that I truly adore is the mother of great scientist Thomas Alva Edison. I don’t know much about her because of the reason that there is so less said about her but the one incidence that is talked about gives a lasting impression of the kind of lady she was.
