IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a sport you would like to play professionally

Describe a sport you would like to play professionally.

You should say:

  • Which sport is it
  • When and where you came across it
  • Who inspired you to play it
  • And explain why you want to play it

Answer:

I believe that sports play a vital role in every individual’s life. There are a multitude of sports personalities that inspire millions of people to build a career in sports, but it is also known that it is not everyone’s cup of tea to achieve a certain level in the field of sports.

If I ever get a chance to play this sport professionally, then it would be badminton. Ever since I was a child, I have always been fascinated by this sport, and it’s fun to play with friends and family. I came across badminton when I was in junior high school. At the start I used to play it for fun in game period, but soon my teacher motivated me to take part in the inter-school badminton tournaments.

My sports teacher started to motivate me more, and gradually I became more inclined towards badminton. I have also watched national and international badminton tournaments on television. At times in those moments I imagine myself playing as a professional.

Famous female shuttlers like Saina Nehwal and P.V. Sindhu inspire me to pursue a career in this badminton sport. Watching these players makes me believe that women can take part and do an excellent job in sports along with making their country proud. So, if I get an opportunity, I would love to try my luck in playing badminton professionally and motivate other girls to take part in sports.

Sample Answer

Today I am going to narrate a particularly vivid memory about a flock of parrots.

I was around 12 years old at the time. My family and I had just moved back from Europe to India. This was a large shift for me, as I had spent the majority of my little lifetime abroad and knew precious little about my home country.

It was my first day of school, assembly period, to be more precise. The school held its assembly in the open-air amphitheatre. I had just been told to stand in line with what I presumed was my new class. Everyone had their heads bowed at prayer time, and I was trying my very best to blend in as inconspicuously as possible. As the national anthem started up, everyone stood at attention. This was again a very foreign concept to me, but I copied them all the same.

Just as I raised my head, I recall being quite shocked to see a flock of brightly coloured parrots zoom over my head. I was in awe at the time; I couldn’t believe that such exotic birds could just roam free in such natural abundance. For you see, back in Germany, parrots could not even be found in zoos! The ecosystem and bird species were poles apart. While jays, magpies, longspurs and pipits are a common sight in the north-west, here in the south we have pheasants, peacocks and parrots. For a twelve-year-old, you might just as well have shown me sabre-tooth tigers; I was that blown away.

What’s more, later that day when I was walking home, I spotted an old man feeding some parrots by hand! As if this was a common sight. Those two events left a memorable impression on me, for I had learnt first-hand how different the world was around the globe, and what was peculiar in one part might be a common tale in others. The parrots that I saw that day symbolised that thought for me. That is why, even today, parrots are more beautiful and exotic and interesting to me than they would be to most locals.

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
