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.

public-transport Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in dehradun

Sample Answer

Public transport is a medium of transport that is provided by a government or a private entity for the public. Highly convenient, reliable, and affordable as well, this medium of transport is a boon to millions of people worldwide. I also find it very beneficial, and it has proved to be of great importance time and again.

With so many people travelling from home to work, city to city, or interstate as well, it is important for them in order to commute from one place to another.

I personally find it to be a great service, as well as a blessing whenever any urgent task has required me to travel without a personal vehicle. There have been various instances wherein my car or motorcycle was not working, and I had to reach my workplace, or when I had to travel to another distant city and I couldn’t travel by car. One such memorable incident took place when I was in college. My summer vacations were about to end, and I suddenly fell ill. I could not use my car to travel due to fatigue, so I decided to take a bus. Reaching college was very important, so I booked my tickets and reached the bus station.

The bus started after a little while, and I sat down on my seat, looking out of the window. It was a very relaxed journey, as I did not have to drive, and I could eat snacks and read a book. I also had conversations with my fellow passengers and got time to look out at beautiful views from the window. Though I chose bus travel as I was ill, the amazing journey that I covered changed my perspective on bus travel as well. If I get a chance to travel by bus again, I would definitely choose it again.

IELTS CUE CARD #EVENT WHEN YOU WERE CONGRATULATED

Sample Answer:

It’s a common gesture of appreciation that one receives for doing something good and worthy. We get appreciation for the good things we do for others or for our great achievements or personal excellence. One similar occasion when I was congratulated was when my debate team won the district/county-level championship.
It was 2012, and I was in my 10th grade. I was an influential member of my school debate team and had participated in a lot of different solo and team debate competitions. The yearly inter-school division/county-level championship was considered to be the most amazing and prestigious tournament, and in those days the finals were broadcast on local TV channels as well as on the radio and on the internet.
Our school had a very bad past history, as it was not able to win the championship before 2012. They had their last victory in the 90s, and everyone was waiting to hear the winning bells again. Though some of the debate teams participated till the semi-finals of the championship, they never made it to the finale.
That year I was heading the debate team, and to everyone’s great astonishment, we won the finals. Most of the people of our city watched the finals on TV and were super excited, happy and proud to see me on air, and it was an added attraction that we won.
The school arranged an assembly specifically to congratulate us for our achievement, and I found more than five hundred students, their guardians and local people who were eagerly waiting for us and were present there to join us in this victory. I was so proud of the whole team and excited about the occasion, and when all those people started congratulating me, I felt like I was flying above the sky, and my happiness knew no leaps and bounds.
Later I received many congratulations and appreciations as I grew up in my life, but none of them mattered as much as that one occasion did. We walked through the gushing crowd towards the stage of the auditorium, and people stood up, greeted us and clapped their hands. A lot of teachers, local political leaders, upper-level government employees and renowned personalities were also present there. The ceremony went on for almost 3 hours, and we got many gifts and bouquets as well. I’ll always remember that moment.

Follow-Up Questions:

Q1. What kind of people are successful in your country?
Ans: In India, generally movie stars, politicians and business tycoons are the most popular and successful people. Influential people who make social and environmental changes are also considered successful.

Q2. Is the definition of success the same today as it was in the past?
Ans: Success has different meanings to different people. People in the past considered success to be more about respect and dignity and paid more focus on the idea of getting known. The idea of popularity still remains the same, but today people evaluate success in terms of money and material possessions acquired.

Q3. Why are some celebrities and movie stars more successful than others?
Ans: Some celebrities are famous because the generation today is biased, and they prefer knowing or watching only those certain celebrities who are more popular, and they don’t really prefer quality. They just go with the brand name, and they prefer to stick with the passive crowd and go along with the fan following.

  • Why did you like it?
  • What did you like?

helping-someone Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in Dehradun
ANSWER-

I think describing a perfect weather for someone is a bit tricky, as it may vary from individual to individual. However, if I talk about myself, ideal weather for me would be a combination of cold breeze, sunlight and a clear sky. This is because the weather really affects my mood and my state of mind.

I remember there was this evening when I was sitting in the veranda of my house. It had recently rained, and then a few minutes later, I saw a rainbow, after which the sky turned pink. That was a moment of awe for me. And I wished to capture the entire splendid moment in my eyes.

Later on, I recorded and clicked many pictures of sky from different angles. Each one of them was unique and different from the others. I loved them. Moreover, watching the view, I could not stop myself from picking up my art book and start painting it. I believe that nature is the greatest artist, so that was a great opportunity for me to witness natural colours and add them to my own palette.

After some time, my mother joined me with two cups of tea and started appreciating my art. We had a lovely chat, a nice day, a memorable evening in the veranda having tea and looking at the beautiful sunset.
