IELTS Cue Card #Describe a person you only met once and want to know more about him

Sample Answer :

Life is full of coincidences. These are the strange looking moments when things follow their course in an unexpected manner, absolutely out of chance. Sometimes, these moments become a part our memory thread which keeps on revoking beauty and inspiration within us. In the same way, I also had a beautiful incident when I got a chance to meet one of my favourite authors, Salman Rushdie. I met him in the fall of 2005.

As I said, this meeting cropped up purely by chance; when I, out of my scholastic interests, went to Book Fair held at Jaipur. Although I was aware of the sudden uninformed visits of the literary figures in this fair, I did not expect that visit on the same day I visited, and that too of such a literary mammoth. I was standing at a stall gazing through a book when I heard a husky voice behind me, asking to make the way for him. I turned back and it took my mind a few seconds to acknowledge his gracious presence. In an anxious haste, I greeted him with a smile which was reciprocated instantly.

At that very moment, he stood at the same stall and started penetrating the shelves. All of a sudden, my mind started wondering for the right phrase to introduce myself to him. Appropriation and organization of words for speaking, seemed too puzzled and graceless, in front of that words’ wizard. Out of nowhere, I could just raise my right hand for a handshake along with the gentle murmuring of my name. He shook my hand and walked away. It is this brief encounter rather a meeting that left an insatiable craving in me to meet him again and know more about him, to be precise, about the secret of his writings.

If I get another chance to meet him, after making a recall of our brief encounter, I shall be appreciating all of his works and thanking him for such an immense contribution to the literature.

Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 Why do we feel curious in meeting someone for the first time?

Sample answer: Man, being a social animal, longs to have the company of people. In a meeting or gathering, energy is being exchanged between individuals. This interplay of energy and emotions brings its own colours. The curiosity of the unknown before the first meeting generates anxious vibes inside us. Self-consciousness about the presentation in the meeting makes us curious.

Q. 2 Why do you like to meet someone again?

Sample answer: When I find a person cheerful, bright, logical with a good sense of humour, I feel him interesting. That interest perpetuates the spirit of getting familiar with the person and desire of meeting him again. Common interests can also be a key affinity factor. For instance, I have good interest in reading literature and therefore my adoration for a great writer who I had read earlier was natural to come.

Q. 3 What kind of people you don’t want to meet again?

Sample answer: Well, there are some people who keep on bragging about themselves incessantly. They are very poor listeners and believe in imposing their viewpoints on the other. They seem to be self-contradictory, inconclusive and illogical. People with dull spirits is another class I don’t want to meet.

IELTS Speaking Task # Cue Card

Describe a famous person whom you admire.
You should say:

Who this person is?

What makes him/her famous?

Where does he/she live?

and explain why you admire him/her.

SAMPLE ANSWER-

I think we all look for certain qualities in a person we admire or follow. I have always been a huge admirer of Amitabh Bachchan. He is a Bollywood superstar and globally recognized cinema thespian. Being one of the senior most celebrity of actor, he is 76 years of age but his energetic performance does not reflect the age.

Amitabh Bachchan’s tremendous universal appeal and influencing personality makes him top the list of World’s Most Admired People. His qualities and down to earth nature are the reasons why people regard him as one of the greatest actor any film industry has ever produced. When I read an article on his biography, I came to know about the struggles he has gone through during the early days when he encountered rejection and flopped movies. Even after being a global personality, Mr. Bachchan is well known for his punctuality and giving his 100% in all tasks. Age is just a number for him as with increasing age, he’s getting even better with his performance on screen.

Mumbai is the film capital of our country and Amitabh Bachchan belonging to India lives there. He lives there in a mansion where fans religiously stand outside on weekends just to get a glimpse of the legend.

I admire Mr. Bachchan not only because he’s a great actor, but for his contribution to society as well. He is a social activist. His donations to various non-profit organizations and reliefs funds are also worth a praise. Mr. Bachchan has also been honored with popular Indian awards, which makes me admire and respect him even more.

And what qualities do you admire in him?

SAMPLE ANSWER TWO-

Famous persons become personalities or stars for the bourgeois society. They are intentionally broadcasted on media exhibiting their panache and lifestyle, in general. Most of us feel highly immersed in their charisma and get mesmerized by their auras. People even endeavour to impersonalize those famous characters. I, being no exception, am devotedly interested in that genius maestro of cricket and considered God by Indian cricket lovers, Sachin Tendulkar. I used to watch and play cricket since 1980’s but beginning from 90’s and for the next fifteen years, what I witnessed was a phenomenon whenever he used to be on pitch.

No, unfortunately I could never grab that opportunity of meeting the cricket doyen, but I was always in a state surpassing even anxiety and thrill, whenever I Imagined that moment. Still, I have not yet belied my hopes and I am very optimistic of meeting him some day.

Out of my curiosity for this wizard, I read and heard about him a lot. Sachin Sir hails from a middle class Brahmin family near Dadar, Mumbai. His father was a poet and mother was working with Insurance industry. He took up cricket at a very young age of 11, getting admission in India cricket Club. He has represented Bombay domestically and India internationally for nearly 25 years. He made his international test debut against Pakistan’s menacing bowling attack, when he was just 16. Later on, he traversed almost every milestone and earned immense fame and love for setting his own new landmarks in cricket.

Well, his courteous and humble personality, despite being Sachin, has always taken the wide applause everywhere. His focus and elegance in his play of game is apparently superhuman. His adroitness and blitzkrieg reflexes are awesome. His intelligence and temperament sets him apart from rest of the contemporaries.

Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 How do you think a person becomes famous?

Sample answer: Success journey to fame, wealth and power comes at a great expense. One has to be passionately involved in an action to bear good fruits. Practice, dedication, watchfulness and unwavering hope for the goal makes a person successful and success brings fame as an appendix.

Q. 2 How do you think about those who are famous for notoriety?

Sample answer: Actually, the people who get the news attention because of their misdeeds are not famous, they are rather infamous. This brings a sham for him and all those who are associated with him. Path has prominent importance in reaching to a destination. Even though infamous people earn money but they never get that respect and dignity from society.

Q. 3 Do you want to get famous? If yes, then in which field?

Sample answer: Yes, I also want to get famous. But here I should be judgemental about my talents and passions. Because, until and unless, you have an alloy of both, there are only bleak chances of success and fame. I think writing is my passion and I possess apt talent too. So, I think, with the consistent pursuance of my passion, one day I shall be a famous person.

Q. 4 Do you think there is a change in attitude of people after becoming famous?

Sample answer: We can say that, attitude inversion, is a widespread common characteristic witnessed in celebrities, nowadays. They float hefty airs around them and apparently believe in ostentation. Special attention down poured on them by public imbibes an arrogant artificiality in them. But, I think that, there do exist famous people who still live a humble and courteous life and remain polite in their demeanour and Sachin is one of them.

exercise Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in dehradun

Sample Answer

Life has become very fast paced and hectic in modern days. This has had a negative impact on individual health. I have experienced deterioration in my health due to similar reasons. I was fed up with various health problems plaguing my body last year and this year I decided to maintain a proper routine including physical exercise in order to avoid such problems and to maintain my health. Since then, I have chosen to wake up early in the morning and go for jogging for an hour every day.

I remember my mother advising me to start my day with this activity, and now I go along with her to jog. I go with her to my society garden, which is large and full of greenery. I jog on the pathway around it completing several laps. I wake up at 5:30 am sharply and come back at 6:30 to start my day.

Mornings are a time when the air and the environment is fresh and less contaminated than any other time of the day. So breathing the fresh air, doing the exercises and jogging amongst the greenery is definitely a very healthy habit. I feel rejuvenated and more ready to face the day. This activity has shown a drastic visible impact on my health and has helped me improve at an increased rate. It not only helps me keep a healthy body, but also a sound mind. This is why I have chosen this physical activity that I enjoy a lot.

IELTS Cue Card # A good law in your country

June 1, 2022 IELTS Research

IELTS Speaking Task # Cue Card

Describe a good law in your country.

What it is?

How you know about it?

What people think about this law?

And explain why you think it is a good law.

A GOOD LAW IN YOUR COUNTRY. Best IELTS Band7 Coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Domestic violence is a severe economic and social problem not only for the women but the society on a whole. Coming from a patriarchal society, a majority of women are physically, sexually and emotionally abused by their spouses or in-laws. Today, I would like to talk about a good law which was introduced and passed by the parliament in 2005.

According to this act, any person who has been, or is in a domestic relationship with an abuser can file a complaint against him/her. It’s not necessary for the victim to be in a marriage relationship in order to file a complaint, as being abused in a shared household also comes under Domestic Violence. I got to know about this law in school, while studying Civics. I also implemented it in my real life when a cook working at my house told me about the kind of abuses she was facing at her in-law’s place.

I think most of the people think that it is a vital law which is mandatory for our country. Women of our nation will start taking their stand gradually and get out of men’s control in this male-dominated society. As domestic violence takes place not only in financially weaker families but also in economically stable families, therefore, this law is good for society as a whole.

In my opinion, this law will have a positive impact on our society. Abuses like physical abuse, sexual abuse, verbal or emotional abuse and economic abuse fall under the category of this Act.
The procedure of relief for the women that are included in the Act is residence order, monetary relief, custody orders and compensation orders as well. The court also ensures to provide the victim with safe shelter, medical and legal aid.
