Cue Card

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a horror story you know / heard from someone

Describe a horror story you know / heard from someone.

You should say:

What was the story about
When and where you heard it
And explain how you felt after hearing it

ANSWER:

Well, I think stories come across some kind of horror in our lives, and experience fear.

I remember that when I was in first standard, my music teacher narrated a horror story to my class in school during the music period. The teacher told us that it was based on a real event, and this event happened with his classmate. My music teacher narrated the whole story. Once his classmate Sumit stayed behind at school to do his homework. Sumit used to travel by bicycle on a regular basis. That day when he was coming home, Sumit came across an old lady who was standing on the roadside.

Sumit stopped and asked her if he could drop her somewhere; the old lady just nodded and pointed towards the road. Sumit agreed, and she sat behind him. After a while, Sumit asked some basic questions to the old lady; however, her reply was always just a “Hmm”. Sumit then asked her the exact location of where he needed to drop her; for a few seconds there was no reply. So, he stopped the bicycle and turned around, and he was shocked to see there was no one. Sumit was terrified, so he started cycling fast, but when he was just about to reach home, there was again the scary sound of the old lady saying “hmm”. Sumit threw his cycle and ran into his house.

Later, he got to know from a neighbour that an old lady had died recently in his neighbourhood. After that incident, Sumit never came back from school late.

Overall, after hearing this story, I was petrified, and I was not able to sleep alone for days. It made me feel that fear is like a fire that burns without flames.

Cue Card

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a time when you felt embarrassed

Describe a time when you felt embarrassed.

You should say:

What kind of situation it was
When and where it happened
How it happened and why you felt embarrassed
And explain how you overcame the embarrassment

ANSWER:

Well, I believe that almost every person has a few embarrassing moments in their lives. At that time, we might feel upset about it, but later we may find the same situation funny. I do recall a few instances where I felt ashamed, but there is one particular incident that is still imprinted in my memory.

This happened when I was in high school. I vividly remember that I was once dialling my friend’s phone number, which I didn’t bother saving, as I used to call him daily. So, I called my friend Kevin, and after saying hello, I started talking about my day at school. Suddenly, Kevin cut me off and said I was talking to the wrong person. So, I asked him if he was Kevin’s friend, but I was surprised to know he didn’t know anyone named Kevin. I started laughing because I thought my friend was joking with me. So, anyway, I started blabbering about myself. After a few minutes I realised that someone was giggling from the other side of the phone and there was also no reply. I checked the phone number then, and I was extremely shocked to see that the last digit was actually wrong. So, I panicked and cut the call.

This incident stayed with me for a long time, as I felt really embarrassed that I was ranting to a stranger about my life. Later, when I told my friend Kevin, we both burst into laughter because, honestly, it was very hilarious. Basically, I didn’t do anything to overcome the embarrassment. I understood that it was a part of life.

Cue Card

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a dish that you like to cook often

Describe a dish that you like to cook often.
You should say:
• Which dish is that
• When and where you first tasted that dish
• How is that dish cooked
• And explain why you cook it often

Answer:
Well, I’ve cooked multiple dishes in my lifetime, and I also love experimenting with ingredients so that I can invent new dishes. Above that, I enjoy trying new cuisines, as I am a big foodie.
There is one dish in particular that I would like to talk about. It is an Italian dish named white sauce pasta. I came across this dish when I was staying at my aunt’s house during my high school summer vacations. I vividly remember my aunt’s daughter insisting on my aunt cooking white sauce pasta. At first, I was amused by the way my cousin was trying to coerce me in preparing this dish. She said that the dish was extremely delicious. So, it piqued my curiosity, and I started requesting my aunt to cook it. The moment I tasted that dish, it instantly became my favourite. Before that, I had not tasted anything that was so creamy and full of flavours. I can say with conviction that it was finger-licking good, and almost anyone would easily fall in love with it.
After tasting pasta for the first time, I learnt how to cook it from different YouTube channels. I realised that the process was quite simple. Firstly, we boil some pasta in hot water with a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of oil. While the pasta boils, we prepare the white sauce, for which we need some fresh cream, cheese and half a cup of milk. Basically, these ingredients are gradually added in warm butter. Once that’s done, in a separate pan we saute some garlic and some vegetables of our choice. Lastly, we add the boiled pasta in the pan and mix all the ingredients together and sprinkle some oregano on top.
Initially this was my best-loved dish, but then it became my family’s first choice too. So, I cook white sauce pasta quite often, and it made me realise that food is the key to everyone’s heart.
