IELTS CUE CARD: Describe an interesting hobby

Describe an interesting hobby.

You should say:

  • what it is
  • what kind of people do it
  • how it is done
  • and explain why you think it is interesting.

ANSWER:

Well, I believe because of individual differences, people find multiple activities interesting depending on their preferences. These activities can be dancing, singing, painting or others.

Personally, I would like to talk about an interesting hobby that I like to do in my leisure time. This hobby is doing mandala art. It is a type of art that originally originated in ancient India. It is actually not very common, but I consider it one of the best ways to release stress. The art is usually drawn in circles and follows in a repetitive pattern. Drawing these patterns can be very cathartic. There are two different ways in which it can be done. One way is by directly drawing it; another is by filling it with colours through sketches or paints. I think most people would love doing it, as it is a unique way to pass time. Also, there are a plethora of mandala colouring books available in the market, and so it is not an expensive hobby.

Moreover, I believe that people who are even a little intrigued about art and creativity can begin this activity. I find this activity fun and interesting because if anyone begins their journey in this kind of therapeutic art, they will observe significant improvement in their mental health.

IELTS Cue Card – Study Room

Leave a comment

Most of us have a study room in our house. Well, there are some who have a completely different room for study, while there are some who have a corner of their house where they do study. This time we are looking at a cue card that talks about your study room.

Describe your study room.

You should say :

  • how it looks?
  • how much time do you spend there?
  • what according to you, an ideal study room should be?

also explain how would you like to change your study room?

SAMPLE ANSWER 1

Our house had a storeroom next to my bedroom, which I later changed to my study room. The room is a small room with a window facing the garden of our house. Opposite the window is where my study desk is kept, so I can always gaze outside when in stress. The room has a shelf where I keep my books and a smaller desk where I keep all the frequent things. Like, if I am reading a novel, it will be kept on the desk. But, if I had completed reading it, I would probably keep it back on my shelf.

The room is painted white in colour, except for the wall opposite my desk. We have painted it in a dark purple colour because of two reasons. One, it is my favourite colour. Second, it brings a sense of achievement, luxury and yet calmness in my life. Most of my time after the office is spent there! Either I would be reading a novel there or preparing my speeches. According to me, an ideal study room is the one where a person can study calmly. So, it should be far away from all the distractions like television. Also, I think having a window is very important because it gives a person the time to think when in stress. Even a mirror also helps. Because sometimes when you have to learn something or practise it, you need the help of a mirror.

I do love my room, but I would like to have a mirror in my room so that I can practise my speeches well.

SAMPLE ANSWER 2

Our house has two floors and my study room is in the ground floor which makes it isolated and so a better place to be in. The room is a big room with two parts to it, one where my study material is kept and the other where a bed is placed. So, in case I wish to sleep, I can doze off there. The room has a big window, opposite to which my study table is kept. The room has two cupboards where I have placed my books, and then there is a small shelf where I keep the frequent books.

To the right of my study table, there is a small table where my laptop is kept. So, whenever I feel like doing some work on my laptop, I sit on the mat and do my work. On the right of my study table, there is a big mirror where I practise my speeches and often read out novels loud. Well, for the past year, since I left my job, I have always been in my study room or out of the house itself. I think, to an extent, my study room is an ideal study room because it has the mixture of both openness and isolation. There is technology as well as room for old books. It has got a mirror and then a window, which is very essential.

If ever I were to change my study room, I would only change the colour of the room. Presently it is painted in plain colours of violet. I would love to have more vibrant colours like orange and red in the room.

WORD MEANING

gaze: look steadily and intently, especially in admiration, surprise, or thought.

isolation: the process or fact of isolating or being isolated.

Doze off: sleep lightly or fitfully … to fall into a light sleep unintentionally.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a person you admire

Describe a person you admire.

You should say:

  • Who this person is
  • How you know this person
  • What qualities this person has
  • Why you admire this person.

ANSWER:

We meet so many individuals on a regular basis, but there’s usually one person who leaves an impression in your life. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to describe one such person in my life.

A person that I really admire is my uncle. He is my father’s elder brother. Although he is my father’s brother, but he has always acted like a father figure for everyone in my family. My ‘Baba’, as we dearly call him, has struggled a lot in his life. My paternal grandparents left this world when my father and uncle were just kids. Since then, my uncle has taken care of my father and fulfilled all his needs. He compromised his education so that my dad could eat properly. And throughout this, he kept smiling. And that’s what I admire about him the most – his patience, resilience, and his ability to smile even in the toughest of times. Apart from this, he’s also very caring. Whenever anyone in the family is going through a difficult time, he is always the first person to step up and support them, whether it’s financially or through good advice.

Another thing that I respect about him is that he never stopped learning, even at this age. A few years back, he learned how to use a smartphone just so he could video call me as I started living away from home due to my studies. According to me, that shows how open-minded he is.

I know him so well because we’ve spent so much time together, especially during my childhood. Honestly some of my best childhood memories are with him.

To conclude, I just want to say that I admire him because of his strength, patience, resilience, and his ability to smile in hard times. He has taught me a lot and I hope I become even a little bit like him someday.

IELTS Cue Card: RIVER OR LAKE IN YOUR COUNTRY

IELTS Cue Card: Talk about an important river or lake in your country

Talk about an important river or lake in your country
You should say:

  • Which water body is that?
  • How do you know about it?
  • Why does it impress you so much

Sample Answer

Water bodies like rivers are of paramount importance for the survival of humans and other living organisms on this planet. Although my country has vast rivers like the holy Ganges and the mighty Brahmaputra, I’d like to talk about the river Indus, which is one of the longest rivers in Asia. I witnessed the beauty of Indus on my visit to Leh last year. Originating in the Tibetan plateau, the river runs a course through the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir. Then it flows through the entire length of Pakistan before draining into the Arabian Sea. Going back in history, the Indus, or Sindh, River had a significant role in the development of the Indus Valley civilisation. The remains of the ancient cities of Harappa and Mohenjodaro were found on the banks of this river. The Indus merges with the Zanskar River near a place called Nimoo, a few kilometres from Leh. The confluence point offers the most mesmerising view, which is a treat for the eyes. What is even more impressive is that this river is the lifeline of people living in this otherwise arid and barren high-altitude desert. The Indus remains frozen for almost a quarter of the year, and locals provide ice-skating facilities for the tourists. One of the locals told me that the blind Indus River dolphin is a sub-species of dolphin found only in the Indus River and is on the verge of extinction. Although Pakistan generates hydropower with the help of dams and barrages on Indus, there is none on the Indian side. In the end, I’d like to say that it’s our duty to conserve our precious water resources for the sustenance of life on the Earth and for the betterment of future generations.
