Sample Answer

To err is human. Today, I’m going to talk about a mistake I made when I was in 6^th class.

One day my sister was quite unwell. She was suffering from fever. There was only one doctor in my village and there were no mobile phones at that time. The only way to call the doctor was to send someone to fetch him. Unfortunately, my father had gone somewhere. My mother asked me to go to the doctor. Since it was quite cold and dark outside, I told her that I would fetch the doctor tomorrow.

In the night my sister’s condition deteriorated, her fever was touching the mark of 104-105 degree Fahrenheit. She started murmuring. That was the most difficult time for me and my mummy. I was cursing myself. If I had gone to the doctor on time, my sister would not have been in this situation.

I made this mistake without realizing that I was making a mistake. I was a child and I had no idea about how high fever can be life threatening for someone.

This incident affected me a lot. With God’s grace and my mother’s efforts, my sister survived. But, her complete recovery took a long time. Now, I am much more careful about health and I never ignore any kind of health problems.

IELTS CUE CARD – Describe a work of art you saw

January 1, 2025 Pooja Ph.D. CELTA

IELTS CUE CARD – Describe a work of art you saw

Describe a work of art that you saw
You should say:
– when you first saw this work of art
– where you saw it
– what it looked like
– and explain your feelings about it.

Sample Answer

Art expresses the best things in life- simple and sweet, complicated and unknown. Today I’m going to talk about a newly unveiled local piece of art. I had the pleasure of coming across this masterpiece last week while going to the market- I just saw it in passing but that didn’t cease to amaze me.
It’s a magnificent statue of a great Indian ruler, Maharana Pratap and his loyal horse, Chetak. The king is holding a long spear in his right hand and the reins of the horse in his left hand. The horse has one of his front legs up in the air. The total height of the statue would be around three and a half meters. Craftsmen have used two different types of marbles: pale white for the platform and black for the main figures. The colour combination looks impeccable.

Coming to how feel about this work of art, it’s is an exquisite example of craftsmanship. Sculptors’ attention to detail is praiseworthy. Right from the size of the spear to the hooves, eyes of the horse, every small part of the statue is sculpted carefully. This work of art has increased the beauty of the region. When I look at it, it reminds me of our rich history and culture. We’ve forgotten the sacrifices of our warriors in protecting our nation from foreign powers. Such works can greatly help inculcate a sense of patriotism among young adults and children.

IELTS Cue Card # Teacher Who Influenced You

December 27, 2024 IELTS Research

Describe a teacher who influenced you in your education.
You should say :
– Where you met him/her?
– What subjects she/he taught you?
– What was special about him or her?
Explain why this person influenced you so much.

Teachers play a very important role in moulding the lives of a child. I consider myself lucky to get several dedicated teachers throughout my academic years. One of the teachers was, Mr. Swatantra Gupta. He was our English and social science teacher in class VII and taught us English in subsequent classes. He was a true mentor and guided all of us in the right direction.

Initially we thought that he does not know how to teach but later on I realised that not only was his way of teaching unique, it was also effective. In the social science class, he used to make everyone stand up and read aloud. We thought, may be he is lazy enough not to speak for himself, but after few months we realised that it was because of him that our pronunciation and style of speaking had improved.

He used to particularly make me stand up and ask me to read long paragraphs. It was tiring but at the same time, very exciting. He even pushed to take part in different competitions and plays and suggested my name to the principal for the district debate competition.

I think it was his faith in me that I actually started working on my strengths and became more confident.

IELTS writing task 2 # Some people feel that cities should allow for spaces for graffiti

December 27, 2024 Riya Chandna

IELTS writing task 2

Some people feel that cities should allow for spaces for graffiti while others feel it should be banned. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

IETLS Task 2 cities should allow for spaces for graffiti

Sample Answer:

Art and artists have always been a moot case. It is believed by many that painting graffiti on blank areas should be permitted whereas, others contradict and posit that it must be forbidden. Both views have compelling arguments, yet I assert with the former view which will be discussed in the forthcoming essay.

Undoubtedly, graffiti enhances the beauty of the locations they are drawn on. Its colourful composition and variety in the artistic expression makes it a visually appealing art piece. In its recent development, the city of Dehradun for example witnessed hundreds of such paintings throughout its citywalls. Moreover, such paintings are an opportunity for underprivileged people to showcase their artistic abilities without using much resources.

Nevertheless, people may demand to ban such paintings due to their rebellious nature. Evidently, graffiti depicts rebellion and at times promotes false agendas or even anger of civilians towards authority. The Lennon, a famous wall graffiti in Prague, is an illustration of such a display of aggression towards the government. Apart from this, such murals also damage public property for which no one can be held responsible due to its anonymous nature.

In my opinion, authorising spaces for graffiti will aid in spreading awareness. Etnias, Brazil, for instance, was drawn for the Olympic games to convey the message of togetherness and peace. Hence, street art must be given its due permission.

To recapitulate, in my perspective, urban art must not be prohibited as it enhances the appearance of the city and is exclusive in nature. However, some guidelines shall be provided for smooth and fair practices of such display of art. (265 words)
