IELTS CUE CARD # DESCRIBE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE. Best IELTS Band7 Coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER –

There are some movies that we watch and forget, while some others have an everlasting effect on our lives. I would like to talk about my favourite movie, 3 Idiots. It is a Bollywood movie directed and produced by a well-known Indian director, Raj Kumar Hirani. Since it was based on a renowned novel, ‘5 Points Someone’, and one of my favourite artists, Aamir Khan, is cast in it, I was extremely eager to watch this film.

The film is focused on three college friends from a prestigious institution of India. The plot revolves around the protagonists belonging to different cultural backgrounds who have different goals in life, but they end up in an engineering institution. Thus, talking about how Asian parents force the dreams on their children. One of them has a unique approach towards life and is blessed with a super technical mind. On the other hand, his friends were not that brilliant and were not interested in a particular field.

This movie was released in 2009, so it’s been quite a long time, but it still remains on the top of my all-time favourite movies. I remember watching it with my friends during my school days. The film is beautifully crafted and has some exciting twists. It gained pretty good recognition among audiences worldwide.

This is my favourite movie, as it has many messages to deliver on friendship, success and the education system of our nation. The movie highlights a friendship bonding among three college friends. It also teaches about following our passion instead of worrying about grades in order to be accomplished in life. The film also questions the Indian education system where one gets job placement based on grades rather than creative ideas and invention.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a person you follow on social media

Speaking – Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a person you follow on social media
You should say:

What is he/she ?

When did you start following him/her ?

Why do you follow him/her ?

Explain how you feel about him/her ?

Sample Answer:

Accessibility and affordability of internet connection have drastically changed life. It is easy to connect with people across the globe. On top of it, the commencement of social media has proven to be the most widespread medium to connect with people. It has become a ubiquitous phenomenon by which information can be disseminated to millions of active users.

On social media, one can get a plethora of content depending upon their choice. At present we have several options to connect with people. Well, I follow many famous personalities on Facebook. I vividly, remember making my first Facebook account in 9th grade and getting excited every time I used to log in. I love checking out new content on it. One day scrolling through Facebook, I came across a content creator whose work I thought was worth giving a watch. His name is Sandeep Maheshwari. His videos were quite gripping, which kept me glued to his posts. He emphasises people being conscious about their mental health and not neglecting serious issues like depression. Through his videos, he tries to motivate people by providing them with numerous ways that they can apply in order to lead a happy, stress-free life. Sandeep Maheshwari is a self-motivated person having a good sense of observation. Apart from Facebook, he is active on other social media sites like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. I was completely blown away when I got to know that Sandeep Maheshwari has not monetised his YouTube channel even with millions of subscribers on it. He considers it social help to society. This selfless quality impressed me and inspired me to do something good for society. Since then I started following him religiously.

Apart from being an avid motivational speaker, he is also the founder and CEO of Imagesbazaar.com, the largest collection of Indian stock images that have made him one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurs in India. Today, Sandeep Maheshwari is a renowned name among youngsters and has gained a massive fan following not just in India but in many countries. He has also been featured in almost all the leading magazines, newspapers, and television channels. I consider Sandeep Maheshwari among the world’s best orators.

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 person you follow on social media’.

Q1. What can people do on social media?
Billions of people around the world use social media to share information and make connections. Social media allows you to communicate with friends and family, learn new things, develop your
interests, and be entertained. One can even use social media to broaden their knowledge in a particular field and build a professional network by connecting with professionals.

Q2. Do older people spend much time on social media?
I reckon not much, as they find more peace without using social networking sites; also, they consider social media sites time-consuming. Although, they do use common social apps like WhatsApp and Facebook to stay in touch with their loved ones.

Q3. Are non-social media like television and newspapers still useful?
Indeed, there are still many people who prefer newspapers and television as reliable mediums for getting information. However, with the commencement of social media sites, there is a decline in the use of television and newspapers. Moreover, old people still prefer non-social media over social media apps.

Q4. Do you think older people and younger people will use the same kind of social media software?
Definitely not; older people prefer to use social media in a limited manner, especially when they are bored or when they want to connect with their kith and kin. Whereas youngsters prefer spending time on these virtual apps not only for their research and study purposes but also consider it a ladder to gain fame.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a book you recently read

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a book you recently read.

You should say:

What the book is
What it is about
Why you decided to read it
Explain how you felt about it

Sample Answer:
Reading has always been my favourite pastime. I would like to take this opportunity to talk about a book that I read recently.
The title of the book is “The Alchemist”. It’s written by Paulo Coelho. It’s a fictional novel based in Egypt. The main character is a young boy named Santiago who is a shepherd. In the story, he travels from Spain to Egypt in search of a treasure. The novel focuses on Santiago’s journey and how he learns about life along the way.
I decided to read this book because a colleague recommended it to me. He kept saying how this has completely changed his perception of life. That really sparked my curiosity, and I decided to give it a chance. The storyline was so interesting that I ended up finishing it in just a few days.

The story follows Santiago as he leaves his family to follow a recurring dream about a treasure near the Egyptian Pyramids. Along the way he meets several people who teach him valuable lessons about life, people and the consequences of actions.

What I found most interesting was the way the author used simple language to teach such intricate things about life. There’s a line in this book about how the universe conspires to help you when you truly want something, and that particular idea really touched me.

In the end, I would just like to say that I felt genuinely inspired after reading this book. It reminded me that it’s important to keep working towards our goals, and no matter how many obstacles come in the way, we will achieve them. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fictional stories with deep meaning.
