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.

public-transport Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in dehradun

Sample Answer

Music is one of the best things that have happened in this world. Its essence can be seen by the way it touches people’s hearts and invokes various emotions within. I am very fond of listening to music. I only listen to instrumental tracks when I work or study, as they help me concentrate, but while lying idle or driving, I listen to a wide array of songs from different genres.

These can range from rock to jazz, depending on my feelings and whereabouts. A song that has a very special meaning to me is “Under Your Scars” by a band named Godsmack. I heard it first while looking for an older song from the band last year. The genre is rock and is sung and composed by the band’s lead singer, Sully Erna. The song is the most popular out of the album “When Legends Rise”. Sully Erna is an internationally renowned artist who is immensely popular in the rock genre. His band is a commercially low-profile band, and I am a huge fan of it and the music.

The song is a rock ballad that invokes very strong emotions in my heart. It is about a person calling out his love and talking about their feelings and remembering the times when they were together. He urged his love on questions about things not going as planned. The lyrics are far more beautiful than how I show them, and I am in love with this song. I respect the singer from my heart and have been listening to this song every now and then ever since.

Cue Card: Describe a skill you learned

Describe a skill you learned.

You should say:

  • What skill it is?
  • How did you learnt it?
  • Why is it important?

public-transport Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in dehradun

ANSWER-

I am really fond of learning new skills and add them to my skillset. One trait that I have developed over the period of time is public speaking.

When I was young, I remember I used to hesitate to talk to other students, raise my hand to ask doubts or read the lesson in front of the whole class. However, in grade 8th I had an amazing teacher. She used to teach us English. Her classes were full of activities. She used to make every student read one paragraph from a literature book daily in front of the whole class. Initially, I used to get nervous and anxious and did stammer a lot. But, later on with regular practice, I was able to speak fluently and confidently. I think that uncomfortable situation that my teacher put me in helped me to build my confidence.

Also, in our school every day one class was given the responsibility of conducting school assemblies. My teacher used to make sure that every student from our class was up on the stage and spoke with immense confidence. We also had many drama plays and theatre acts which further enhanced my communication skills. I believe that being a public speaker is an asset and one should definitely work on strengthening it. As it enhances one’s confidence and overall personality.
