IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Subject Taught

Describe a subject taught in your school.
You should say –
– What was it and who taught it?
– How was it taught?
– What did you learn from the class?

and explain how it helped you.

Many subjects were taught in my school. The subject I’d like to talk about is English. Each year a new teacher used to teach us English.  I remember Ms. Sujata, Mr. Rajan and Sister Rose Charles were among the few teachers who taught us English in different years.

I think we were fortunate to have qualified English language teachers who knew how to teach.  Our teachers made us so engrossed in the subject that we took it seriously. Firstly, each chapter was thoroughly discussed. Then, questions were asked from any part of the chapter, vocabulary could be any word of the chapter and we had to be well prepared for it. So, we were not just limited to questions given in the book or the ones given by the teacher, instead we had to make short questions from the chapter and learn lots of words. Of course it was tough, but it was fun, I’d say. When a chapter with a play came, we enacted it.

So, I did not just learn English, I was fully involved in it. Learning English has been very helpful for me. At a personal level, it gave me  a broader exposure of different cultures, people and their perspectives.  When it comes to work, communication is an integral part of my day-to-day life. I work as a business development manager so I have to communicate with businessmen, stakeholders and many other individuals, all from different parts of the world. Owing to my effective oral and written English language skills, I have achieved great success in my career. Certainly, the credit for this goes to my teachers, my school and my parents.

Part Time Jobs # Essay For IELTS

Some people think that young people should be allowed to do unpaid work helping people in the community. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Education is undeniably the most important thing for an individual. However, in today’s world, mere education is not enough, gaining valuable experience is very necessary to get a good job in future. Most people assert that youths must attend unpaid work in a community to get more advanced experience, while others are of the opinion that it can disturb their education.

Volunteering for a community work brings with it great advantages. Firstly, unpaid work in a curriculum offer better chance for kids to improve themselves in their field. As young, one is energetic, passionate and motivated to learn new experiences and the job can act as an opportunity to involve in a real work force that they are interested in.

Secondly, it provides students a sense of being pivotal in society, which makes them proud and helps them learning the importance of contribution.

Turning to the other side of the argument, studying in advanced level requires abundant of time to concentrate on assignments or exams. Enrolling in unpaid job could seem quite unpractical as even if the student has time, he or she will more likely participate in sports clubs or enroll in additional class. Even more, if students are hell bound to take an unpaid job it could be a hassle and distract them from their responsibility.

Overall, in my opinion, even though attending unpaid jobs could be a hassle in the beginning, but by learning time management, a student can easily take on both and add wings to their career.

Restriction On Noise # Essay For IELTS

Some people believe that individuals must be allowed to make as much noise as they want to, while others are of the opinion that the amount of noise that people make should be strictly restricted. Discuss both views and give your opinion with examples.

With the change in the way people did their jobs, there has been a considerable shift in how people live. With more and more people taking up tiring day jobs, they are left with only night and tend to party. This has caused a debate on whether there must be a regulation on noise or not. Some people believe that the city should regulate the level of noise in residential area while others say that this measure is too strict for some citizens.

With increasing stress in their work places, some people assert that they have their basic rights to generate noise freely in their places. They argue that after a long tiring day, they only get the night to relax and spend time with their family. If in this time, they do recreational activities like karaoke, or may be party, it only helps them relax. Secondly, everyone does not have the same way of living and trying to fit in a certain norm of lifestyle is too much of a burden.

On the other hand, it is certainly true that people also have the right to deserve peace and quiet when they stay in their houses. For instance, children who have their schools in the morning tend to get disturbed by the noise causing poor performance in the school. Even more, exposure to excessive levels of noise for a long time can cause detrimental effects such as sleep deprivation, depression or healing impairment.

Overall, in my opinion, every one surely has their own rights to generate noise, but we live in a society and therefore city must issue some regulations to limit noise pollution.
