IELTS CUE CARD #EVENT WHEN YOU WERE CONGRATULATED

Sample Answer:

It’s a common gesture of appreciation that one receives for doing something good and worthy. We get appreciation for the good things we do for others or for our great achievements or personal excellence. One similar occasion when I was congratulated was when my debate team won the district/county-level championship.
It was 2012, and I was in my 10th grade. I was an influential member of my school debate team and had participated in a lot of different solo and team debate competitions. The yearly inter-school division/county-level championship was considered to be the most amazing and prestigious tournament, and in those days the finals were broadcast on local TV channels as well as on the radio and on the internet.
Our school had a very bad past history, as it was not able to win the championship before 2012. They had their last victory in the 90s, and everyone was waiting to hear the winning bells again. Though some of the debate teams participated till the semi-finals of the championship, they never made it to the finale.
That year I was heading the debate team, and to everyone’s great astonishment, we won the finals. Most of the people of our city watched the finals on TV and were super excited, happy and proud to see me on air, and it was an added attraction that we won.
The school arranged an assembly specifically to congratulate us for our achievement, and I found more than five hundred students, their guardians and local people who were eagerly waiting for us and were present there to join us in this victory. I was so proud of the whole team and excited about the occasion, and when all those people started congratulating me, I felt like I was flying above the sky, and my happiness knew no leaps and bounds.
Later I received many congratulations and appreciations as I grew up in my life, but none of them mattered as much as that one occasion did. We walked through the gushing crowd towards the stage of the auditorium, and people stood up, greeted us and clapped their hands. A lot of teachers, local political leaders, upper-level government employees and renowned personalities were also present there. The ceremony went on for almost 3 hours, and we got many gifts and bouquets as well. I’ll always remember that moment.

Follow-Up Questions:

Q2. Is the definition of success the same today as it was in the past?
Ans: Success has different meanings to different people. People in the past considered success to be more about respect and dignity and paid more focus on the idea of getting known. The idea of popularity still remains the same, but today people evaluate success in terms of money and material possessions acquired.

Q3. Why are some celebrities and movie stars more successful than others?
Ans: Some celebrities are famous because the generation today is biased, and they prefer knowing or watching only those certain celebrities who are more popular, and they don’t really prefer quality. They just go with the brand name, and they prefer to stick with the passive crowd and go along with the fan following.

ANSWER-

I think describing a perfect weather for someone is a bit tricky, as it may vary from individual to individual. However, if I talk about myself, ideal weather for me would be a combination of cold breeze, sunlight and a clear sky. This is because the weather really affects my mood and my state of mind.

I remember there was this evening when I was sitting in the veranda of my house. It had recently rained, and then a few minutes later, I saw a rainbow, after which the sky turned pink. That was a moment of awe for me. And I wished to capture the entire splendid moment in my eyes.

Later on, I recorded and clicked many pictures of sky from different angles. Each one of them was unique and different from the others. I loved them. Moreover, watching the view, I could not stop myself from picking up my art book and start painting it. I believe that nature is the greatest artist, so that was a great opportunity for me to witness natural colours and add them to my own palette.

After some time, my mother joined me with two cups of tea and started appreciating my art. We had a lovely chat, a nice day, a memorable evening in the veranda having tea and looking at the beautiful sunset.

helping-someone Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

We all have a lot of things that we share with others at a certain point in time. Sharing is a very good habit that shows emotion and care for others. It not only helps people but also creates a bond between individuals.

I remember one such incident wherein I shared my motorcycle during my college graduation days. I was in the second year of my college degree, and I had made a very good friend named Smith. He was my neighbour and was pursuing another degree from the same college. I had just purchased a new motorcycle to make my commuting easier, as I lived a bit far from the college premises.

One evening when Smith and I were having dinner together, he told me about his issue of early morning classes. It was a problem as there was no public transport in our locality during that time of the morning. I then solved his problem by offering to share my motorcycle with him. He was very happy and thanked me a lot. It was almost for the next six months that we both shared my bike to go for our respective classes, and it was a great experience knowing that I was able to help a friend by sharing something of mine. I understand myself to be a caring person and tend to share my personal belongings with my near and dear ones from time to time.

CUE CARD – Describe a game you enjoyed playing when you were younger

Speaking – Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a game you enjoyed playing when you were younger.
You should say:

    • What was the game?
    • When did you play it?
    • Who did you play with?
    • How you felt about it?
Sample Answer 

During my childhood, I participated in a plethora of games, including volleyball, hide-and-seek, long jump and many others. But here I want to discuss an exceptionally amazing game named Kho Kho. I greatly enjoyed this game. I used to play it with my school friends when I was a kid.

When I was younger, I used to call my companions to play on the field. Because they were more occupied with other games, I had to convince them at times. Then, at that point, we used to meet at a nearby playground. We then used to divide everyone into two teams. The team was led by each individual.

We, as a whole, played it with incredible fervour and excitement. During this game, we spoke up loud and ran really fast in order to not get caught. We celebrated the victory of the winning team when one team won the game. No one felt miserable for the loss in the game because everyone at the time wanted to see their friends’ faces light up. As a result, I enjoyed playing kho kho with my friends and felt happy again. When I now meet with those friends, we all recall fond childhood memories.

All things considered, I like it even now; my kin and my companions express no to me when I request that they play kho kho, because now they all are busy with their daily hassles of life.

Therefore, this was a game I really enjoyed playing when I was young.

STRONG WORDS
Word Meaning Sentence
Hassle irritating inconvenience The hassles of daily life are intolerable.
Inclined leaned My sports interest is mainly inclined towards football.

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 a game you enjoyed playing when you were younger’.

Q1. What games do Indian children play now?

There are a lot of games which Indian children like to play nowadays, such as cricket and football. But, sadly, they are now more inclined towards online games such as PUBG, COD and many more.

Q2. Do boys and girls play different games?

I do not think so because it is more of an individual choice. Although, earlier it was believed that girls are only meant to play with the soft toys and boys only play with toy cars. But now, this has changed. Children play whatever games they are interested in, and there are not any such specifications to that.
