IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a time when you gave someone something special

Describe a time when you gave someone something special.

You should say:

  • What was it?
  • Whom did you give it to?
  • Why did you give it?
  • And explain how you felt?


ANSWER:

Well, gift-giving is a universal way of expressing feelings that words sometimes fail to convey. Handcrafted gifts add charm and strengthen the beautiful bond with the receiver. There are many gifts I have received and given in my lifetime. I’d like to talk about the time when I gave a gift to my friend on her birthday.

I had decided to draw her picture on a canvas and decorate it in a unique way. I wanted to give her something special which she can cherish later and understand how much I valued our friendship. I made a painting of her which included thread beads and motifs to decorate the painting, which gave the painting a rich texture. Not only did I brush and colour the background of the painting with acrylic paints, but I also used hand stitched beads on the canvas to create a three-dimension effect. The most interesting part was when light fell on the beads; they shone, like tiny dew drops, making the painting feel alive. Although it was a time-consuming task, it was a labour of love. The simple picture turned into a masterpiece which took more than 20 days, and it was worth the hard work. When I gifted her the painting, she was flabbergasted by the way it was created. She genuinely appreciated the intricate details engraved into the canvas. I had put my heart and soul into that painting. It was reflected in her deep appreciation. She said that it was the incredibly thoughtful and meaningful gift she had ever received.

Overall, I enjoyed the process of making that special gift for my friend, as I got an opportunity to showcase my creativity. The most surprising thing was her reaction, which was truly a rewarding experience for me.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a person who has a significant influence on your life

Describe a person who has a significant influence on your life.

You should say:

  • Who is this person?
  • Where did you meet him/her?
  • What kind of person are they?
  • And explain how they have influenced you.


ANSWER:

Well, I think in today’s world people easily get influenced, especially by influencers on social media platforms and well-known celebrities. There are a lot of people who have had a significant influence in my life, but there is one particular person who has affected me the most. This person is my elder sister, and I have known her since my childhood. My elder sister’s name is Bhavi. She is three years older than me, and there are a multitude of reasons why I am influenced by her.

She is a student of psychology, and she is an extremely empathetic person. She is also a great listener. Whenever I share anything with her, I am always surprised by her level of calmness and understanding. So, one of the most inspiring things about her is her emotional intelligence. Since childhood I have seen her tackle a lot of difficulties in her life effortlessly, no matter how complicated the situation was. So, this influences me to not give up easily in any kind of predicament. Other than this, she’s really aware of a lot of social issues, which makes her an unflinching advocate. She often mentions to me that she wants to bring about positive changes in society.

To be honest, I have learned a lot from her journey, as her life is a lighthouse, and she has guided me in my highs and lows. I also wanted to follow her footsteps and become a person who is resilient and kind-hearted at the same time.

IELTS Cue Card – A friend from childhood you remember very well

A friend from childhood you remember very well.

You should know:

  • When and how did you first meet this friend?
  • What did you like to do together?
  • What did you have in common?

Sample Answer

Friendship is a beautiful relation that touches everyone’s lives in a different way. I too have had many amazing people as my friends, especially during my childhood. I can recall many such friends who were very close to me, but the closest one was Smith.

He was my best friend for a better part of my childhood. I met him when I was 6 years old. He lived in the neighbourhood just two houses away from ours. I met him on the first day in the society garden. I was roaming about aimlessly when he appeared and asked me if I live here. We started talking and discovered a lot of common things to talk about. Soon became the best buddies for almost 7 years until his family moved to another state. We had a lot of matching thoughts and hobbies. We both liked playing video games, collecting comic books, watching cartoons; and reading stories, amongst other activities. We used to go to school and many other outings together. We also played and studied together at both our homes.

Our goals in the future were also the same, as we both wanted to become teachers when we grew up. We even had a similar taste in food and dressing ideas. This friendship was important to me to such an extent that I considered him my sibling more than a friend. He was the only neighbouring kid who I spent the maximum amount of my time with. The best part is all the memories that we created together and the fact that I still cherish them in my heart.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a special event (e.g., a festival, carnival, or other celebration) that takes place in your country

Describe a special event (e.g., a festival, carnival, or other celebration) that takes place in your country.
• You should say:
• What is the special event?
• When does the event take place?
• Why does it take place?
• And explain how people celebrate it

ANSWER:

Well, I think that special events play an important role in every individual’s life, as celebrations promote togetherness and spread positivity. There are many festivals that are celebrated in my country, such as Holi, Diwali, Eid and much more.
One festival that I would like to talk about is Dussehra. This festival is celebrated in the month of October every year. There is an interesting story behind this festival. Basically, according to Hindu mythology, Lord Ram killed a monster named Raavan, who kidnapped Lord Ram’s wife, Sita. So, on this auspicious occasion, people celebrate the victory of good over evil.
On Dussehra, people spend time with their families and friends. In the morning, families pray to the gods and also offer them sweets and flowers. Other than this, delicious food is cooked at home. The most surprising part for those who might not be familiar with this festival is that, in the evening, most people build huge effigies of the monster Raavan and burn it in the evening to show the destruction of evil. The celebration is quite loud because as the effigy of the monster Raavan burns, firecrackers shoot into the sky. This whole event makes the celebration very exciting. In many societies there is a complete theatrical drama of the whole story on a stage.
Overall, I absolutely enjoy every second of this occasion every year. This festival is not only the way to spread joy but also to spread awareness that good deeds will always result in sweet fruits.
