Cue Card Talk about an item of clothing you enjoy wearing

Sample Answer:

Clothes and accessories have come to represent more than just simple survival gear. They are a window into someone’s life, their personality, their wealth, their age and their experiences. We all have some clothes we enjoy wearing immensely and others that never get to see the light of day.

Speaking of the former, I will talk about my favourite hoodie. Right off the bat, when I mentioned ‘hoodie’, it is obvious that this hoodie is going to be very comfortable and quite possibly oversized; well, you would not be wrong in that assessment. But perhaps what you might not be able to deduce at first glance is the emotional value of this hoodie due to the memories it carries.

I received it back in 12th class during our graduation party as a gift from the school. I was endlessly curious as to what the shiny silver foil held. Out came a comfy black hoodie; it had my school logos on the sleeves and all of our batch’s names on the back, forming a giant 2015. I was incredibly touched and distantly realised I might have torn up a little at the flood of memories in my mind.

I instantly put it on, and true enough, it was even more comfortable than it looked from the outside, for the inside had been lined in fleece. My mother will tell you how difficult it is to get that hoodie away from me once I have decided to wear it. The hood shape is simply perfect; even though it is oversized, it doesn’t slip into my face. The pockets can store more than what you would think possible, and the sleeves sit snugly at my knuckles, just where I like them. But most importantly, I feel like I am enveloped in a big hug whenever I wear it; it reminds me of simpler days, of sunshine and laughter, of badminton on Sundays and swimming on Wednesdays. There is no doubt about it, that hoodie is my favourite piece of clothing.

High-level useful words and their meanings:
Right off the bat (American phrase) – immediately or right from the start
fleece the thick covering of wool on a sheep, or this covering used to make a piece of clothing
Snugly in a way that fits closely
comfy comfortable

IELTS Cue Card Talk about someone who travels often by plane

Sample Answer

Air travel is a modern moral conundrum, but for some people it is unavoidable due to their job description. I will talk about my friend, Maximillian, who is a pilot. He used to travel by air in nine-hour shifts for international flights, though currently, the airlines have suspended all travel due to Covid-19.

He is what one would call a true globetrotter; he loves to travel and even takes his family abroad for his vacations. Whenever I call him, I expect a new answer to the question, “Where are you?” Due to this, we have even stopped playing Atlas on our monthly game nights; it’s so unfair; he always wins.

But I’m glad to have a friend like him; he tells great stories and really puts into perspective how the world works. Although sometimes I do wonder how much air pollution the industry causes, I can hardly fault him for doing his job.

Max has travelled to both exceedingly wealthy countries and pitifully impoverished nations. He likes to tell us about his stays at various locations. I would say, due to his travelling, he is the most worldly of us. He is a telling example of how travelling can broaden our horizons and influence our personalities positively. His undeniable humility can attest to the same. I am proud that he does what he loves, that his job not only teaches him but, by extension, also teaches us, his friend group.

Useful words and their meanings

Conundrum – a problem that is difficult to deal with

Globetrotter – someone who often travels to a lot of different countries

Impoverished – very poor

Humility – the quality of not being proud because you are aware of your bad qualities

Writing Essay Task: Mobile Phones and Social Interaction

IELTS Writing Essay Task 2 About Mobile Phones and Social Interaction
Some people say that technology such as mobile phones (cell phones) is destroying social interaction.  
Do you agree or disagree?  

writing essay task 2 about mobile phones and social interaction

Sample Answer: 

Mobile communication has become ingrained in our modern society as not only a necessity but also as a force of habit. When required to establish communication with a person, most of us would prefer to do it online. For good reasons too, we get to plan our responses better, as well as be in a comfortable environment and have a sense of control over the length of the interaction. Essentially, we remain in our comfort zones.   
 
Whether or not this is destroying social interaction as a whole is open for debate. Where some say it helps in dealing with anxiety, others question the outright aversion phenomenon it has given rise to. My personal opinion on the same stands somewhere in the middle.   
 
While I feel that we are indeed losing the touch of the art of social interplay, it is within reason to assume this was inevitable, as seen by the rise in far more casual exchanges with our superiors and elders. This is, however, no excuse for the careless use of devices to actively be rudely preoccupied in actual dialogue or for utilising devices to avoid them altogether. While face-to-face interactions might seem to be a far more daunting task, they are oftentimes equally rewarding. It is far easier to persuade people in person than it is through a screen, hence why sales employees are still present and thriving in a world threatened by automation. 
 
Whatever one might say, one has to admit that physical association is simply inescapable. One will have to get out and interact with peers eventually. Hence, I would conclude by saying that both means of communication have their own perks, and thus neither is a threat to the other. Mobiles will continue to act as personal messengers, and humans will continue to interact socially, be it through the medium of a screen or otherwise. As long as etiquette is maintained in mobile usage, there is no threat to public communication.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a time when you/someone you know got injured

Describe a time when you/someone you know got injured.

You should say:

  • Who he/she is
  • When and where he/she got injured
  • How he/she got injured
  • And explain how you felt about it


Answer:

I believe that getting injured can be a very painful experience. It’s even more scary when we see our loved ones getting hurt. Here, I would like to talk about an incident when my friend met with an accident.

This incident occurred recently. My friend went to a hill station called Mussoorie with his friend on a two-wheeler. On the way back home, it was raining heavily, so the roads were extremely slippery. While they were going downhill suddenly, their vehicle went out of control and they fell. At that moment the road was almost empty, and no one was there to assist them. My friend was severely injured and was bleeding, while the other accompanying person was not hurt much.

After a while, luckily some locals came and helped them. They took my friend to a nearby hospital, where he was provided medical care to stop bleeding. Later, when I got to know about his accident, I immediately rushed to the hospital. The doctor said that the wounds were not that serious, so we should not worry much, as he will recover soon. It took some time for him to recover; I assisted him with doing basic activities, as he was not able to walk or eat food properly.

Overall, it was a frightening experience, and I am thankful to God for saving my friend’s life.
