IELTS Cue Card # Future Goals

August 22, 2022 IELTS Research

We all have future goals, we all want to be something, achieve something and put a mark in this universe. Let us today have a look at the cue card that focuses on this aspect of us, the goal that we have for our lives.

Describe what you want to do in the future.
You should say:

What is it?

When you want to do it?

How you want to achieve it?

and explain why you want to do it.

Sample Answer One

We all make goals for our lives, the ones that we all work hard to achieve. In my future, I would want to open a company that gives equal education rights to everyone. It is seen that the government is doing a lot in educating people. But, there are a lot of loopholes in it. For example, the education quality is not that good. Even more, there is discrimination that happens on the basis of caste and religion which does hamper the education.

I want to be able to provide good, healthy education to everyone. I wish that the people who study in my school are the ones who go about and shape the future. They are the ones who ahead of themselves think about other aspects of life and human beings as well. The ones who are not just machines doing things, but humans living life.

As per my plan, I have started taking baby steps towards it and I hope that in the near future it will become a part of me and I will be able to contribute more into it. There is no such particular time that I have set for achieving it. I just want to get it legally started in my 20s and make sure it grows and expands even after my death.

The only reason that I want to be able to do this is that I want to give back to the universe the gifts that I got. Education is the best of the gifts I have ever received. I believe that a person who is educated right can make society a better place and I wish I be the one who starts it.

Sample Answer Two

Every one has future goals and aspires to be someone or do something. I particularly have no future goals apart from the one which states that I want to live my life. I want to happy and I wish that ten years from now when I look back at my life, I should be able to recall it. So, I want to travel around the world, click photographs, talk to as many people as I can and explore my country.

I believe that my country India is very vast and apart from what has been written in the history books, there is so much more to it. There are stories of the common man, stories of uncommon kindness, stories that have kicked off the stereotypes and told that it is more about humanity and living happily. Everything else is secondary. I want to tell the world about my magnificent country. Find out what is written in the history books, the religious books, what is that is not written and everything. Someday I want that I am able to represent India and like me, every Indian is able to.

Most probably I would be having a blog in which I will put all my learning and experiences to be shared with the entire world.I wish to write about India and its magnificance. Once I am able to do this, I wish to explore the world outside, beginning with Africa. I want to find out reasons for things like war, peace, agreements, terrorist. Why when we all know we have got a small life, end up fighting, hating or ignoring. We are here to love ourselves, our work, our people and the beautiful world that we all are living in.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Career

August 20, 2022 IELTS Research

Describe the job/ career you have or hope to have.
You should say:

what the job is

what is involves

why you would chose it

and explain why you are interested in this job.

Sample Answer:

I love travelling, reading and writing. So, if ever I get a chance to switch my career from an IT professional it would definitely be of a traveler. I want to be the person who travels a lot, makes memories, meet lot of people and then write about it. My story has lot of stories in it and lot of characters and emotions. I wish, if ever I write story about myself, it be of lot of colors, experiences and moments.

Travelling involves basically travelling to lot of new places, exploring it and meeting new people. It is about getting to know about new cultures and new ideas. There are so many stories of our country that are hidden in the hearts of people and these are the stories that I want to explore. I wish that someday I am able to show the world the true India.

There is no particular reason why I chose it, it was neither for money nor for fame. The only reason that I want to travel all around the world is because I want to know people and their stories and what they feel about things. I just love it. You know when people express their fears, their joys, their emotions. It is so much more exciting. And then when you visit a new place, there is so much promising in it. You get to know about the history of the place and for some reasons the present starts making so much more sense when you know about your past.

Even more, it gives you that feeling of freedom. So, you are not associated with a particular job and there is no boss. You are your own boss, you need not to listen to anyone but your heart and it is very exciting for me. To do things, not because you are told to do them, but because you feel like doing them. There is no rationals behind them, anymore. It is so much more of heart and so much more fulfilling.

What is the most famous sector in your country?

Most of the people in my country are associated with Information technology. So, you would find lot of software engineers in my country. Apart from them, there are people who prefer banking sector or may be the teaching sector. However, in the recent times there has been a substantial change in the way people make career choices. Now, we find lot of people interested in going to photography or making a career out of writing and it is amazing. Because there are so many more creative heads out there.

Do you think people in your country are paid according to the work they do?

Well, for the most part I think people in my country are paid less when compared to the ones of foreign countries. People out here are much more talented but when it comes to salary, often people work at less wages and stressful days. It, I believe, is one of the major reason why people prefer going to companies that offer onsite opportunities or may be after some time start working for biggies that offer much more salary.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Historical Event

August 19, 2022 IELTS Research

Describe an important historical event in your country.

You should say :

when it happened

what is its significance

what were the important people involved in it

Also, say why is it important to the history of your country.

India is the largest democracy in the world and the largest country in South East Asia. But, India has not been democratic since time immemorial. We were under the rule of British for almost 200 years and it was after a long freedom fight that India became independent. In the midnight of 15 August 1947, when the world was asleep, India woke up to a new freedom, with the first Prime Minister as Jawaharlal Nehru.

But, what was the most happy moment for the entire country, required so much of effort and so may people becoming martyrs. No matter, how many people we say responsible for our freedom, I believe the first hammer that was struck to Britishers was by Rani Laxmi Bai in 1857. The revolt of 1857 was the first time that the entire India united against the British Rule. The revolt started from Meerut where some sepoys started a rebellion against the Britishers and soon it spread out to the different parts of the country, involving Rani Laxmi Bai, Mangal Pandey, Birjis Qadr,Babu Kunwar Singh and many more.

There was no one particular reason for the rebellion but many of them. Britishers had for a long time tried to rule the country indirectly, taking away all the resources of the country and weakening the internal power of the country, not allowing the rulers to rule. Although, at that time, India was being ruled by different forces, when the rebellion took place, the entire country went to Bahadur Shah Jafar.

Although, India lost that battle, but Britishers realized that if they want to rule the country, they need to rule from Delhi and Indians realized that they too can fight against Britishers. It was after this battle that several groups started coming in to fight against Britishers for freedom, which we definitely got in 1947.

What do you think we can learn by studying the events of the past?

We learn from our mistakes, and just like individuals learn from the mistakes made by themselves or by others, we as entire society can learn from the mistakes that we have made in the past. Also, there are things that we can repeat that were good in history. To be able to repeat and prevent it is very important to know the history and knowing history is not about knowing the names and characters but about understanding the entire flow of data.

What important events do you think might take place in the future?

With respect to my country, I believe there are certain events that are bound to happen in the future. One of them is the strengthening of women in our country. There is a certain degree of respect and love given to women in our country but there are certain areas in which we lack in terms of equality. I believe that in future there will be more of woman power coming up. Also, it is very likely possible that the matter of Kashmir will be solved in the future. It is high time that India and Pakistan are fighting over the case of Kashmir, causing distress to both Kashmir, Pakistan and India. I hope and believe that the decision will be made very soon.

Do you think internet is a good place to learn about history?

Definitely yes. For the initial startup, I do believe that internet is a great place to learn about history. You can learn from different sources, for free and figure out if you are really interested in learning about history. When that happens, one can very easily go for a formal course. Even though, if people are not interested in going for formal courses, one can learn about it from different websites and you tube and so much more.

IELTS Cue Card # Local Area

August 18, 2022 IELTS Research

Describe a change that will improve your locality. You should say:

What is the change?

How the change works?

What kind of problems the change will solve?

How you feel about the change?

Sample Answer One

I live in the west of my city, the place where most of the middle class people reside. There are several good things about my society, from good roads, to nice neighborhood and then there is this beautiful view that we have. But, the one thing that sometimes gets very annoying is that there are very few street lights in the area. So, although, it is not complete darkness, it is very close to that only. And in times when it rains heavily driving on that road becomes really scary.

I want to bring in more street lights for the locality. My friend works in PDW i.e. Public Development Works, the department handling such issues. So, I have talked with her and she told that this has been a concern for the department as well and very soon they will solve the issue.

I think once we have got street lights, it will be much more safer to travel in that area. There are situations when it gets too late and for a female that gets even more frightening. No matter you are in car or a two-wheeler the chances of a crime happening and it is not only we who are victims. Often in the dim light, one is not able to see any street animal, who get killed in the run.

Changing this situation has been a great event for me. I got to know that the system is not too bad and that we also can make changes in our lives and sometimes in others as well.

Sample Answer Two

I live in a Ho Chi Minh City. My father is a businessman. The locality that we are staying is quite good. We have got park and then security guards, proper lights and almost every amenity that one can think of. However, there is one thing that often bugs me and it is the absence of society. Most of the people in our locality live so busy lives that they never get to gel with each other.

We as youngsters of our society felt the need of a more better belonging because there were times when even festivals would go out dry. So, we started meeting in parks with lot of tantrums and we would invite even the kids of our locality. We used to have parties where everyone started talking with each other and the best part was the parties were game based. So, we would play badminton, or football or sometimes held on debates on stuff.

With the news reaching to the elders, they started joining us whenever they had free time and with that people actually started to get to know each other. We realized that we have some of the greatest talents of our country and it was truly amazing.

Latest cue card Tip:
Given above is a Latest cue card on the improvements that can be made in the local area. Write down the points in not more than 3 minutes and then try to speak it as many times as possible. The best way would be to record your answer in mobile phone each time and figure out in the long run how you have improved.
