Sample Answer

Since my childhood I have been into Indian classical music, it fills me up with joy and pleasure. Undoubtedly my favourite celebrity is a great musician. The name of this person is A.R. Rahman. He is a film composer, producer, singer and songwriter who works predominantly in Tamil and Hindi films.

Some of my favourite songs by him are kun faya kun, tum ho, phir se ud chala. I like listening to his interviews on the internet, wherein he tells about the technicalities of classical singing in a very easy and practical manner.
The magic of his composition is what makes me his admirer. And apart from that he is also a great human being. Once I got a chance to meet him at Chennai airport and I was impressed by his generosity.

He has played a major role in introducing our beautiful music culture to the rest of the world. He has been awarded with Padma Bhushan, Academy Award for best music and Grammy awards for the 2008 film Slumdog millionaire.

I like him for his modest nature and his remarkable work in Indian Cinema. He has multiple times represented India on a global level and I think we need more musicians like him to make our cultural music popular in the globe and I am sure a lot of musicians see him as a role model.

IELTS Essay # more people choose to live on their own

June 3, 2021 IELTS Research

IELTS Essay more people choose to live on their own

In modern societies, more and more people choose to live on their own.
What are the reasons people choose to do this?
Is it a positive or negative trend?

Sample Answer

In today’s world people are more likely to live alone as they feel independent in doing so. The concept of joint family had plummeted in this modern world. In my point of view this is a negative trend which can lead to isolation and also create problems later in life.

There are different reasons why people choose to live on their own. One reason can be that it offers people liberating experiences of life. They can live their life completely on their own terms without any interruptions. This type of independence is not possible when they are living with a family or a partner. There are no restrictions when people live alone, they can do whatever they want to.
Another reason can be that people want to be self reliant, they don’t want to be financially or emotionally dependent on someone. They want to bear their own experience and be confident about life.

Living alone is having a negative impact on the future generations. There are serious problems arising from this trend such as depression. For instance, people are spending majority of their time alone at home and lack social values. Such kind of isolation is not healthy and can sometimes lead to depression and anxiety. Apart from this, there are day to day problems that occurs in one’s life when they live alone. Such as, there is no one to help while doing daily chores, it has to be done alone. Also there is lack of safety when an individual lives alone.

In conclusion, although it has become more popular among young generation to live alone, it is complicating the idea socialisation. It is creating a dis balance in the social construct hence it should not be encouraged. (289 words)

IELTS Cue Card # Describe an occasion when you ate a kind of food for the first time

Describe an occasion when you ate a kind of food for the first time
You should say:
– When you had it
– Where you ate it
– What it was
and explain how you felt about it

Sample Answer:

I am someone who likes to experiment with food that I eat. Although I love trying different cuisines but at the same time I try to keep it healthy.
A couple of weeks back during my home quarantine period i saw a TV commercial about the launch of a pizza that was somewhat like a burger, they named it “Bizza”. The commercial was very well presented and that I started craving for it. As I was not supposed to step out of my home due the pandemic, I opted for a home delivery. I ordered it with Coke and Fries, as they were giving a special discount on this combo pack. After ordering it, even waiting for half an hour seemed so difficult, moreover due to precautionary measures the delivery boy took even more time to deliver. But finally I got my order after a long wait of 45 minutes. As soon as I received it, I sanitized the outer packaging. The aroma that came from the parcel excited me even more. I opened the packet, it was a burger pizza by domino’s which had oven-baked buns with loads of cheese and pizza sauces. It felt so much fresh and unique to try out, I had never tasted anything similar to it. It brought mere joy to my face after savouring it. I felt amazing when I ate it and I’m glad that I ordered it. I was so much fascinated by the taste that I ordered it again the next day. Now it’s one of my favourite dish. After having it, I developed a liking for Italian cuisine.

Follow Up Questions:

Q1. What’s the difference between Indian food and western food?
Answer: When we talk about indian food it is mostly vegetarian in nature whereas western food has meat as the main part of the meal.

Q2. Is it expensive to eat out in your country?
Answer: Food ranges from five rupees for a vada pav to a thousand rupees for shahi paneer in a good restaurant, so it is totally subjective what people want to eat.

Q3. What kinds of foreign foods are popular in your country?
Answer: Many western breads and cheese have become quite famous, pastries and cakes are favourite desserts for people in India. Many types of non-veg dishes have also gained popularity in my country.

Q4. Are you concerned about your daily calorie intake when choosing something to eat?
Answer: I do not keep track of the calories I consume very precisely but yes I keep track of the quantity of food I consume. I think that works out well for me and I would say it is something that varies from person to person.

IELTS Cue Card # Describe an expensive activity that you enjoy doing occasionally

Describe an expensive activity that you enjoy doing occasionally
You should say:
– What it is
– Who do you do it with
– Why is it expensive
And explain how you feel about it

Sample Answer:

It would not be wrong to say that it’s the adventure, which attracts us towards the activity and not the price. Our financial condition may or may not allow us to savor it, but deep down we all want to cherish it.
I would like to mention about one such activity which I love doing erractically and that activity is shooting. Actually, we have an Olympic size shooting range in our city wherein all types of shooting facilities are available like 50m, 25m, 10m rifle and pistol shooting, trap and skeet for shotgun.
I developed love for this sport from my dad. Seeing my dad shooting during my childhood days made me want to do it. Now that I’m a grown up and eligible to play this sport old, it’s a perfect weekend activity for me. I go for shooting with my dad, both of us love to spend time together at the shooting academy. We both love the bullwhip like crack sound made by the bullet piercing the air and the competitive spirit shown by others in the range .
I would say that it is quite an expensive sport to play because of it’s high priced tools and equipments. One gets limited rounds to fire in the range and once exhaunsted the refill is quite hefty. In fact, it is one of the most expensive sports here in my town.
Shooting is the perfect activity to learn to stay calm and steady. It helps to keep your mind focused.

Follow Up Questions:

Q1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being rich?
Answer: The biggest advantage of being rich is that you don’t have to work just to earn money and you can explore the beauty of work-life balance. Whereas the biggest disadvantage of being wealthy is that people get much more influenced by the wealth you have accumulated and not the person which you have become.

Q2. Why are some of the sports expensive? Are they for everyone?
Answer: There are always things made for the elite class, not everything is made for everyone. But yes most of the sports require good level of fitness something which even the richest can’t buy.

Q3. What is the most expensive professional sport to play?
Answer: In professional terms Lawn tennis is undoubtedly an expensive sport played across the globe as it requires a lot of different equipments to play.
