Sample Answer

Life has given me a lot of happiness and moments to celebrate with my near and dear ones. I have celebrated many happy moments by hosting parties for someone and attending other people’s parties as well.

I have attended many parties on different occasions in my life, but the most enjoyable one was a party that I held to mark my elder sister’s twenty-fifth birthday. It was a surprise party that I planned with the help of my mother. It was on the twenty-fifth of September last year, and I had started to plan it two days before. After my sister left for work in the morning, I started decorating our garden and installing the setup, including the tables and chairs. My mother started baking her favourite chocolate cake while I called all her friends and our relatives to the party in the evening. I then proceeded to order snacks and appetisers along with the beverages for the evening. The celebrations finally commenced, and all the guests had arrived before she came. We welcomed her with the birthday song and hugs from everyone.

We all had an amazing time at the party. Everybody socialised; we played party games, danced and had a lot of fun throughout the evening. The best part was the fact that everyone was happy with the celebration and there were smiles all around me. My sister got gifts from everyone and was all smiles when I gifted her a necklace. She was spellbound and thanked me profusely for organising such an amazing party.

Sample Answer 2:

Frankly speaking, I am not a party buff and usually attend only those parties wherein I know some people or there is something exciting going on. The party that I am going to talk about is the one I went to last year. It was my friend’s friend’s birthday bash, and she invited all of us. Initially, I was fine with going there, but later on my friend told me she could not come along, and I almost cancelled my plan when my friend’s friend actually called and invited me again to come.

Hesitantly, I said a ‘yes’, and I would say that was the best ‘yes’ I had ever said. The party was in Rishikesh, a tourist spot in Uttarakhand, India. It was a night party, and there were campfires, music, dance, games and a lot of interesting people. To my surprise, Anusha, i.e., my friend’s friend, knew a lot of people and had invited them all. And I met and talked to many interesting people that I might otherwise never have come across! This included the self-employed interior designers, marathon runners, entrepreneurs, and writers. It was exciting to talk to them and find out how they are connected with the host.

Not only were the people great, but the food and other services were also fantastic. There were stalls of different kinds, and one could eat whatever they wished. And it was really tasty food too!!

What’s more, I discovered that actually, I did know quite a few people there after all. I am almost won over. Next time she offers to host a party, I might even find myself looking forward to it; you never know.

IELTS Speaking Part 3: questions related to parties/celebrations

Question. 1: What are the main reasons why people organise family parties in your country?

Answer: Family parties are very popular in my country. Most people organise special parties on birthdays and marriage anniversaries. Some young adults give parties after getting good grades in their exams or after being promoted to a high-level position.

Question 2: In some places people spend a lot of money on parties that celebrate special family events. Is this ever true in your country? Do you think this is a good trend or a bad trend?

Answer: Yes, wealthy people in my country throw lavish parties to celebrate special family functions. The pictures of their parties are often shown in newspapers. Even though it’s their own money, I feel that it’s a disturbing trend. It promotes discrimination in society and widens the gap between the rich and the poor.

Question 3: Are there many differences between family parties and parties given by friends? Why do you think this is?

Answer: Yes, there are. Family parties tend to be more formal as compared to parties organised by friends. Social decorum and elegance both are maintained in family functions. On the other hand, people feel freer in the parties of their friends. They normally don’t mind too much drinking or dancing, but in family functions any kind of misbehaviour can create a lot of problems.

National celebrations
Question 4: What kinds of national celebrations do you have in your country?

Answer: My country has two main national celebrations: the Independence Day and the Republic Day. Independence Day is celebrated on 15th August, and Republic Day is celebrated on 26th January.

Question 5: Why do some people think that national celebrations are a waste of government money? Would you agree or disagree with this view? Why?

Answer: Some governments spend huge sums of money on national celebrations. If a country is facing problems like unemployment, illiteracy, poverty or poor infrastructure, then people will certainly complain about the money spent on national functions. In my view, the government should focus on the development of the nation rather than showcasing their military might in national celebrations.

Cue Card- Describe an advertisement that you don’t like.

April 3, 2026 Arushi Thapa

Cue Card – Describe an advertisement that you don’t like.

Recent IELTS Cue Card Topic with Sample Answer. Describe a company/organization you would like to join. IELTS Band7 Dehradun Best BAND7 IELTS Dehradun IELTS online simulator IELTS BAND 7 Coaching Classes

You should say:

– what type of advertisement it is
– where you usually see it
– Why don’t you like it
and explain how it affects people

Answer – One type of advertisement that I find particularly unpleasant is intrusive pop-up advertising, which is commonly seen on mobile applications and various websites.

These advertisements typically appear unexpectedly while a user is engaged in an activity such as watching a video, reading an article, or playing a game. What makes them especially frustrating is their disruptive nature. They tend to interrupt the user experience without any prior warning, often occupying the entire screen and, in some cases, including loud audio which cannot be skipped immediately. Many of these advertisements are deliberately designed to be misleading. For instance, the close button is often minimised or strategically positioned to increase the likelihood of accidental clicks. Such advertisements are highly repetitive, which leads to irritation rather than engagement. Instead of capturing attention in a meaningful or creative way, they create a negative perception of both the product and the platform hosting them, which can discourage many users from continuing to use certain applications or websites.

Overall, I believe that advertisements should be informative, relevant, and respectful of the viewer’s time. Although I acknowledge the value of advertising in general, intrusive pop-up ads can significantly diminish the user experience.

Cue Card – Describe a historical period / time you want to know more about.

April 2, 2026 IELTS Research

IELTS Speaking Task – Cue Card: Historical Period

Describe a historical period/time you want to know more about.
You should say:

which period it is

how you know about this period of history

what its importance is in history

and explain what you want to know more about this period.

SAMPLE ANSWER –

My country, India, is quite recognised for its rich and prosperous history. One such historical period was the Indus Valley civilisation that existed long back, but its prevalence was recently revealed in the 1900s by an archaeological survey. It was believed to be the core of art and culture during those days.

When I first studied this civilisation in class and the planning of this period’s urbanisation, it captivated me to a great extent. It was the first time that I took interest in history while learning about this time period. I learned that even in that era when there were limited resources available, the people of the Indus Valley civilisation enjoyed a highly developed city life.

This mysterious civilisation was situated on the banks of the river Indus in present-day Pakistan. I think that it’s an important part of the historical culture, as the town-planning and water management system which the people followed during that time is an excellent example for the modern world. Despite the absence of educational facilities, it is said that people who belonged to this time period had built well-equipped sanitary facilities and harvesting systems as well. When I further looked at the remains of artefacts of this civilisation, I was actually convinced that citizens of this civilisation led a comfortable and luxurious life.

I’m keen to learn more this time period and what led to its destruction. Though the town had well-managed farming and architectural construction, archaeologists are carrying on their research related to the specific cause of its disappearance. It is said that today’s world has a lot to learn about urbanisation and administration from the remains of the Indus Valley civilisation.

Describe a company/organisation you would like to join.
You should say:

The name of the company/organization.

Where it is located?

How you know about this company?

And explain why you would like to work in this company/organisation.

Sample Answer

^{Level IELTS Band 9} There are numerous national and international companies in my country. Today, I’m going to talk about an organisation I would like to be a part of. The name of the organisation is the Indian Space Research Organisation, commonly known as the ISRO. It is the space agency of the government of India headquartered in Bangalore, Karnataka. It was founded by Dr Vikram Sarabhai in 1969. The ISRO has many centres which are located in different regions of India. I have a keen interest in celestial objects like stars, galaxies and black holes. My father’s close friend is a scientist in the ISRO. I have learnt a lot about the projects of this organisation from him. In addition, I had the opportunity to visit the ISRO Satellite Center on a school trip. Over the last 47 years, the ISRO has emerged as one of the six largest space agencies in the world. It develops and delivers services in various fields. Communication, weather forecast, disaster management tools, geographic information systems, navigation, telemedicine and distant education satellites are some of them. Its mission of using space research for the development of the nation has always inspired me to become a scientist.
