IELTS Cue Card – A friend from childhood you remember very well

A friend from childhood you remember very well.

You should know:

  • When and how did you first meet this friend?
  • What did you like to do together?
  • What did you have in common?

Sample Answer

Friendship is a beautiful relation that touches everyone’s lives in a different way. I too have had many amazing people as my friends, especially during my childhood. I can recall many such friends who were very close to me, but the closest one was Smith.

He was my best friend for a better part of my childhood. I met him when I was 6 years old. He lived in the neighbourhood just two houses away from ours. I met him on the first day in the society garden. I was roaming about aimlessly when he appeared and asked me if I live here. We started talking and discovered a lot of common things to talk about. Soon became the best buddies for almost 7 years until his family moved to another state. We had a lot of matching thoughts and hobbies. We both liked playing video games, collecting comic books, watching cartoons; and reading stories, amongst other activities. We used to go to school and many other outings together. We also played and studied together at both our homes.

Our goals in the future were also the same, as we both wanted to become teachers when we grew up. We even had a similar taste in food and dressing ideas. This friendship was important to me to such an extent that I considered him my sibling more than a friend. He was the only neighbouring kid who I spent the maximum amount of my time with. The best part is all the memories that we created together and the fact that I still cherish them in my heart.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a special event (e.g., a festival, carnival, or other celebration) that takes place in your country

Describe a special event (e.g., a festival, carnival, or other celebration) that takes place in your country.
• You should say:
• What is the special event?
• When does the event take place?
• Why does it take place?
• And explain how people celebrate it

ANSWER:

Well, I think that special events play an important role in every individual’s life, as celebrations promote togetherness and spread positivity. There are many festivals that are celebrated in my country, such as Holi, Diwali, Eid and much more.
One festival that I would like to talk about is Dussehra. This festival is celebrated in the month of October every year. There is an interesting story behind this festival. Basically, according to Hindu mythology, Lord Ram killed a monster named Raavan, who kidnapped Lord Ram’s wife, Sita. So, on this auspicious occasion, people celebrate the victory of good over evil.
On Dussehra, people spend time with their families and friends. In the morning, families pray to the gods and also offer them sweets and flowers. Other than this, delicious food is cooked at home. The most surprising part for those who might not be familiar with this festival is that, in the evening, most people build huge effigies of the monster Raavan and burn it in the evening to show the destruction of evil. The celebration is quite loud because as the effigy of the monster Raavan burns, firecrackers shoot into the sky. This whole event makes the celebration very exciting. In many societies there is a complete theatrical drama of the whole story on a stage.
Overall, I absolutely enjoy every second of this occasion every year. This festival is not only the way to spread joy but also to spread awareness that good deeds will always result in sweet fruits.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a crowded place you have visited

Describe a crowded place you have visited.

You should say,
Where is that place?
When did you visit that place?
Why was it crowded?
And explain how your experience was.

ANSWER:

Well, I have been to many temples, marriages and cultural events that are well full of people. Today, I’d like to talk about my experience of visiting an over-crowded temple.
I vividly remember the time when I went to a crowded place. This place is Ayodhya, a holy city in India. Basically, me and my family visited that place in the summer 2024 to see the Lord Ram temple. It is one of the most popular temples in India. At first, the trip went on pretty well, as we were able to visit the temple peacefully, and prayed in front of the idol of Lord Ram. However, when it was time to visit a nearby temple me and my family faced a lot of difficulties.
Actually, the temple was of Lord Hanuman, who is another deity in the Hindu religion. The trip to Lord Ram’s temple is considered incomplete if we don’t visit the Hanuman temple. So, we went there, and as soon as we reached it, we saw that there was a lot of rush and there was a long queue of people waiting to enter the temple. We joined the queue and waited for hours to enter the temple, and when we finally entered, we were shocked to witness that there was a lot of pushing going on inside the temple; every person was pushing the other to see the idol of Lord Hanuman. I was squashed between strangers in the commotion. To be honest, at that moment I just wanted to get out and get some fresh air. It was highly suffocating as well as chaotic. As far as I know, the temple was overcrowded because a lot of people wanted to pay obeisance to the deity, but above that, I think the biggest cause was poor management.
Overall, my experience was disappointing and exhausting. I’d definitely be more mindful in future, and will check if it’s going to be a very crowded place.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a person who is good at making people feel welcome in his/her home

Describe a person who is good at making people feel welcome in his/her home.

You should say:

  • Who is this person?
  • How do you know him/her?
  • How is that person welcoming?
  • And explain how you feel about that person.

Answer:

Well, precision is the key, and some people are watchmakers who are actually adjusting every gear, ensuring that every aspect of their life is perfect. I have seen many people in my life who like to maintain their home and welcome guests. The first name that pops up in my mind is my mother; I have known her since my childhood. She is a meticulous person, and she always takes care of everything in my house.

Whenever guests visit our place, my mother not only cleans our home but also prepares delicious food for them. She also gives them a warm welcome, as she believes that welcoming guests with open arms reflects our tradition and values. After that, she offers a variety of homemade snacks of their choice. If she finds the guests uncomfortable, while communicating, my mother wisely makes them comfortable by cracking jokes. She is a great icebreaker in my family. She can easily initiate conversation with others. Sometimes she entertains them by taking them to different places in my city, like shopping malls, temples and cinema halls. Basically, she ensures that everyone has dinner and sleeps comfortably. She never lets anyone without having breakfast. As a whole, I feel that she is a great host.

She inspires me to be a warm welcomer, as she has rooted the same tradition and cultural values in me that she has learned from her mother. Hospitality is not just a social custom and ritual for her, but it’s a mirror of our cultural identity and respect, which allows me to treat our guests as a part of family.
