IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

A person you know who likes to talk a lot.

• Who is he/she?
• What does he/she talk about?
• How do you feel about them?

Sample Answer

There are a lot of people that we know or meet in our daily lives. Each and every one of us has different personalities and perceptions about life. While some people are introvert and do not like to indulge in conversation, some are extroverts who like to make their thoughts known through speaking them out.

I have met all such kinds of people, yet one of them stands out in my memory. A friend of mine, Paul, is a person who is very loquacious and has a dynamic personality to match this character trait as well. He is a trainer by profession and is quite elder to me. We are fast friends since my school days, and I like his company a lot. He was a public speaker in the school and practiced his communication skills by taking part in debate competitions. I have a habit of spending hours on end with him, listening to whatever he has to say. This is because he observes small details and has garnered a lot of experience since childhood that has taught him a lot. He likes to share such incidences and his thoughts on them with me, as I am a patient listener. I have learned a lot from whatever he has to say, and whenever I am in any doubt, I go to him and ask for advice.

Moreover, he shares his ideas and other thoughts with me as well, and I get to understand and build perspectives about a lot of new things. I really admire him due to this habit of his and believe that my time spent with him is quality time, as I get to learn a lot from him.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Something that you made by hand to give to your friend.

• What did you make?
• How did you make it?
• Why did you give it to your friend?
• How did you feel about it?

Sample Answer

Art and craft are highly engaging and entertaining activities, and many people work on different arts and crafts during their leisure time. I also like doing art and craftwork such as pottery, origami, and painting. I am more involved with craft work, especially with toys and trinkets, and I have made a lot of small toys for toddlers.

I have a young friend in my neighborhood who plays cricket with me. While we were speaking one day, he told me about his fondness for cars. He also told me that almost all of his toys were cars, and he played a lot with them as well. At that moment, an idea struck me. I came back to my home and quickly took out a small battery operated motor that was lying around unused. My idea was to use that motor to make a homemade toy car and gift it to him. I went around the house in search of materials such as cardboard, nuts, bolts, bottle caps, wires, and batteries. After collecting all the items, I assembled the car and worked on it until I was satisfied with the result.

It took me two days to complete the toy car, fortunately in time for his birthday on the weekend. Thinking that it would be a sensible gift, I had painted it and gift wrapped it as well. On his birthday, I gave him the car as a gift, and he liked it a lot. He said that the gift meant a lot to him. Due to this, I felt elated and proud of my skill and my idea.
