IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

A time when you had to find some information.

  • When was this incident?
  • What was the information?
  • Why did you require it?

Sample Answer

The world has become a smaller place in today’s times, as the internet and technology have given people ease of access and brought them closer. From time to time we go to find out information from different sources such as books and the internet. I have also looked around through my resources in order to look for a variety of information.

One such incident took place when I was in the ninth standard. We were supposed to complete many summer project reports of different subject topics. Choosing to start with geography, I was supposed to write a project on all the mountain ranges of the world. My school course book proved inept at providing me with in-depth details and facts about the topic. Alternatively, I started to go through other books such as encyclopedias and detailed subject books. After collecting some information, I opened my computer to take more help from the internet.

I went through various websites that had blogs and articles about the mountain ranges and was satisfied to find all the information that I needed. After this work, I searched for their images as well so that I could stick them on to my report as well. I then used all the gathered information to create a detailed report along with the corresponding pictures. The project was a highly challenging task to collect and compile such large information, but I enjoyed it very much and also learned a lot of facts and figures. It was a great experience, and I have followed it in my time of need since then.

CUE CARD – Describe something that was broken in your home and then repaired

Speaking – Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe something that was broken in your home and then repaired.
You should say:

    • What it is ?
    • How it was broken ?
    • How you got it repaired ?
    • And how you felt about it ?

Sample Answer:

When I was young, I used to be incautious about my belongings. I would often forget or break things. My mother would scold me several times and label me as a clumsy daughter.

The thing I broke was the television. Being the age of hand-held gadgets, there are still enough people around who prefer television over mobile. No doubt, it feels terrifying when your beloved TV gets a cracked screen.
It was Sunday afternoon, and my brother and I were playing chess. After some time, we both got into an argument, and the argument soon turned into a fight. My brother started chasing me with the chessboard, and all of a sudden, he threw the board towards me. Luckily, it did not touch me, but unfortunately, it hit the television. We both were petrified and had lost the courage to look at the TV screen. Our mother rushed into the room after hearing the noise and scolded us very badly. She immediately informed our father, which made us even more scared. However, he did not utter a single word to either of us. But we could easily see the anger on his face. We knew something big was awaited.

A technician was called to fix the damage. Fortunately, it was fixed, but it cost us an arm and a leg. Our father did not interact with us for a week. It was disheartening to see our parents suffering due to our reckless behaviour.
We both apologised for the mishap and promised not to repeat any such incidents in the future.

Speaking – Part 3 (Follow-up questions)
Here are some examples of follow-up questions that the examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to the cue card ‘describe something that was broken in your home and then repaired’.

Q1. Are IT-related jobs valued more by society?
Well, IT-related jobs have gained popularity in recent years. But, in my country, government jobs are more valued than any IT-related jobs because they provide a sense of security and act as a status symbol in society.

Q2. Is the quality of products worse than before?
Certainly, there is ample evidence to prove how companies have played with the quality of products. If we look back 50 years ago, the quality of products was much finer than today’s. Earlier, companies used to focus on the needs of the consumers; now their sole motive is to earn profit.

Q3. What kinds of things do people like to repair by themselves?
. Saving money is one of the factors people consider when tackling a home improvement project. People like to repair several things at home, for instance, fixing a leaky kitchen or bathroom pipe, fixing a sticking window, and many more.

Q4. Why do people like to get their mobile phones repaired in specialised stores?
Quality is the major reason why people opt for specialised stores, as they offer better and more reliable service than any local store. Apart from that, specialised stores deliver one-time fixes as well as a warranty for their device.

IELTS Cue Card: A game you enjoyed playing when you were younger

  • Who did you play it with?

playing-games Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

We have all played some game or the other during our childhood. The state of worry-free bliss and the passion that children have for their lives bring pure joy to everyone’s hearts. Some children play indoor games such as chess or carom, while some children prefer outdoor games such as cricket or basketball.

I also used to play a lot of indoor and outdoor games with my friends when I was younger. I especially played a lot of basketball, and it was my favourite game. Basketball is a great game and has helped me in maintaining my health through full-body exercise. We had a basketball court in our society, and all of the other children used to form two teams and play basketball for almost two hours every day. We used to have small competitions as well. Even in the games class in school, I spent most of my time playing basketball with my classmates. With time, I became better in the game, and my teacher and my parents supported me enough to become the school team captain.

I enjoyed myself playing and representing my school and our team in other local championships and sports meets. This game has taught me a lot, such as leadership qualities, hand-eye coordination, team spirit, and most importantly, the value of physical fitness. I still remember those times and go to a court nearby to play basketball sometimes.

Cue Card: Describe your favorite hobby or leisure activity

Describe your favourite hobby or leisure activity.

You should say,

  • What is it?
  • Why do you like it?
  • How did you learn it?
ANSWER:

Engaging in certain hobbies really helps people to unwind themselves from their hectic lifestyles. Therefore, I think hobbies play an important role in maintaining the overall well-being of a person. As an individual, I am interested in many different leisure activities, but my favourite would be painting.

There is a very interesting story behind my fascination for this art form. My uncle is a well-established artist, and he always emphasises creativity and authenticity of ideas. I visit him regularly during the summer holidays, and one day he was working on his new art piece. As I watched him working, he encouraged me to draw and paint something out of my own imagination. I drew a landscape with two deer. Ever since then, I have become fond of painting.

I usually paint something when I am stressed or even happy. It is a way of expressing my emotions. I love painting because it allows me to work on my imaginative powers. Also, it helps me to improve my concentration and makes me feel calm the entire day.
