IELTS Speaking Cue Card: Describe your Favourite Song

IELTS Speaking Part 2

Describe your favourite song.

  • Which song is it?
  • Why you like it?
  • When you first heard it?
  • Why you feel attached to it?
Sample Answer

My favourite song is “Skyfall”. It is the theme song of the James Bond film named “Skyfall. It is an orchestral pop song performed by English singer Adele. She had also co-written the Skyfall theme with Paul Epworth. They both have won Grammy for this song in the category of ‘Best Song Written for Visual Media’. The song is based on the plot, about two people being together to face all the obstacles of life courageously.

This song has always been close to my heart since I first heard it. My friend made me hear this song while driving back to home from our office. We both like watching series of James Bond movies and this song sounds exactly like a typical Bond song. I loved it straight away and played it again and again. I think, this song is simple yet has a profound meaning .It truly motivates us if we correctly interprets its hidden meaning. The lyrics of this song are in sync with the plot of the film. It tells about the cycle of “death and rebirth”, and how we spend the journey of life. Even in the most dreadful moment of life, we can conquer anything if we have the support of our loved ones.

The sky and the earth paradoxically coming together portrays a point where one life ends and other starts and the soul becomes free. In the beginning of this song, the music is very slow, light and soothing, makes me feel serene and composed. Gradually, it becomes bold, strong and exhilarating. Whenever I listen to this song, it empowers me and gives me a combined sense of excitement and tranquility. This song may refer to a spiritual journey of life, or the connection between two souls but it certainly gives you goose bumps. Moreover, Adele’s soul-stirring voice definitely compliments it well.

Overall, I feel that orchestral music is so versatile, which gives you a mixed kind of emotions while listening to it. Due to such kind of music, this song has become deep, beautiful and uplifting.

Obesity Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

Obesity has now become a matter of concern worldwide. An obese person is prone to various health risks like diabetes and heart disease etc. Some people believe that this problem can be handled with proper education and awareness, whereas, others think that there is no link between education and obesity. There are valid opinions to weigh both the sides of the discussion, which I will consider in the following paragraphs.

On one hand, education can help to prevent obesity and other health problems by spreading awareness. People often ignore their health to maintain their work-life and forget the fact that health is the real wealth. After all, good health indicates fitness and longevity. A proper education system will enable people to adopt different ways to stay fit and healthy. They will learn to focus on balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

On the other hand, lack of education is not the only cause of obesity. In developed countries, in spite of having high education level, people are becoming obese. This fact indicates that diet and lifestyle are the key contributors to this problem. Moreover, our attitude is also responsible for overeating and less physical activities. Even if people have time, they do not participate in outdoor activities and consume much more food than required. Thus, people should take onus of their health by following a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Overall, in my opinion, knowledge is futile if we do not apply it in a correct way. Due to obesity, quality of life suffers and also people often lose their self-esteem. People should get education for realising the importance of healthy diet to lead a happy life. Other causes of obesity should also be examined to find solutions accordingly.

Furnishing-Homes Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

A house is indeed its owner’s pride and identity. Everyone has a dream to own a beautiful and comfortable house. Decorating a house is important not only for the owner but for the visitors too as it exhibits our personality and lifestyle. It also enhances the aesthetic beauty and utility of a house.

Choice of a house and its décor largely depends on an individual’s personality, income, need and lifestyle. People having higher income are likely to spend more on beautification. They will buy luxurious things to decorate their homes like chandeliers, branded furniture and paintings etc. On the other hand, people with limited income will opt for a basic décor. We can have a better quality of life inside our homes by choosing the right type of furniture, lighting, colours and accessories. However, on an average, people spend around ten percent of their total budget on furnishing irrespective of their age and income.

Everything usually starts with fashion. Clothes we wear and the place we inhabit represent our choices and preferences. When it comes to fashion, everyone has a personal aesthetic that we like to show to others. The same applies to our homes as well. Apart from this, due to pattern recognition and colour psychology, some trends never fade away. Every now and then we introduce new and exciting changes in the interior to keep our home fresh and trendy. By following various trends, we can develop our own style sensibility and find the best decor to incorporate in our living space.

To conclude, we can say that being an important part of our house, decoration cannot be overlooked. Home, not only has a direct impact on our well-being but also decides our status in the society. Hence, it has become more than a shelter now.
