IELTS Cue Card 2024: Describe a successful person with whom you once studied or worked.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

A successful person with whom you once studied or worked

  • Who this person is?
  • When you studied or worked with this person?
  • What this person did to become successful?
  • And explain how you felt about studying or working with this person?

Sample Answer

To become successful has become a struggle for all, and everyone is in the race to strive and succeed. However, regular efforts and consistent hard work can ease the process. Today I will be describing a person who faced several hardships and turned out to be an ultimate achiever. Kritika, my best friend since childhood, and I have completed our studies together at the same colleges. She didn’t have a very affluent family background; instead, her family was dealing with multiple problems, and this would distress her a lot. Kritika was determined to change her family’s poor state. She started working just after clearing her 12th and completed her further studies through distance learning. Initially, she started by giving home tuition; later, she joined a firm as a sales executive. Seeing her dedication and performance, she got promoted to sales manager. I guess that was the turning point in her life. Now that she has become Section Head of the company, she has a good salary package. Earlier, she was living in a rented house; recently, she bought a home for her family. She invited me to the inauguration ceremony. Kritika has proved that firm determination and perseverance have the ultimate power to change destiny. I feel extremely proud and happy for Kritika, as she has become a driving source of inspiration for many people around her.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q1. Is money the only measure of success in your country?
Absolutely not, there are multiple ways to measure success and everyone has different parameters to examine it. For some it could be earning money whereas for others it could be serving others or getting married.

Q2. How do you define whether a person is successful or not?
Well, I believe when a person’s achieve or fulfil his goals he can call himself successful. However, goals could be different some may define success by gaining status and accomplishments while for others it can be leading a simple and happy life

Q3. Is there a contradiction between success and happiness?
Many believe that success and happiness mean the same thing; some even consider happiness to revolve around success. But according to my opinion, I believe success is tangled with certain tasks and goals, whereas happiness, on the other side, is free and doesn’t specifically need to be achieved; it is felt. One may feel happy by listening to his favourite songs, but success can’t be achieved in the same manner. Success requires regular hard- work and effort.

IELTS Cue Card 2024: Describe someone in the news you would like to meet.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Someone in the news you would like to meet.

  • Who the person is?
  • What they do?
  • Why they are in the news?
  • And explain why you would like to meet them.

Sample Answer

There are innumerable mortals in the news, who often catch the news headlines of newspapers like politicians, singers, etc. Here I’d like to talk about Mukesh Ambani, a famous Indian billionaire business merchant also the chairman, managing director, and largest shareholder of Reliance Industries Limited. He, with his father, established India’s first private oil refinery at Gujarat that can produce about 33 million tonnes of oil per year.
He is currently the richest man of Asia and the 9th richest man in the world with a net worth of 21 billion dollars and lives in the world’s most big-budget private residence, whose value is approximately US$2 billion.
I saw him in the broadcast a few months back when I was watching the news, and there was information about him, that he donated 100 million dollars to Prime Minister’s emergency fund during the coronavirus pandemic. He shared that his money is of no value if he can’t help the citizens of his country. This quality affected me and had left a positive impact on me. Even though he has obtained a good reputation, he is very down to earth. Apart from this, he is a member of many non-state associations and does a lot of charity work.
I think he is not only intelligent and sympathetic, but also a successful businessman. Because of the fact that he manages his assets in such an effective manner. I have an eager ambition to meet this business tycoon in real life, so that I can learn some of his characteristics. I want to meet this big-hearted person and thank him for his kind step towards humanity. If I get a chance to meet him, I will not miss the boat.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q1. What types of people become famous in your country?
In my opinion, people, who work in the film industry and play sports, usually become famous in my country rather quickly. And politicians don’t lag very far behind them either. However, the difference is that famous people in the film industry and sports are “eminent” because most of the average citizens genuinely like them because of their creativity and performance while people “like” famous politicians out of “fear”.

Q2. What qualities does a person need to have to be famous?
I believe, that, becoming a famous and “successful” person is not a piece of cake. But, a person can become famous by winning against all the challenges and battles, thrown at him or her, because of carrying certain qualities in his or her life. And, some of these qualities are ‘passion, persistence (or patience), hard work, positive attitude, self-reliance, self-confidence, integrity, and rock-strong willpower’. Of course, a person also needs to have his or her fair share of “luck” as well to become famous. But, of all these qualities, I would say that “patience” may prove to be the most important and decisive factor in attaining “fame” as one may need to wait a long time to achieve it.

Q3. Describe how famous people influence the public.
Famous people, be they in sports, politics, cinema, or business can influence and inspire people with their talent, hard work, sincerity, and styles. Sometimes, the way they lead personal lives, and handle problems and relationships, can set examples for the general public. But, the problem is, sometimes, people tend to forget about their responsibilities as they may not be able to accept the mistakes of their favorite celebrity and they even try to justify the mistakes committed by them, which can be misleading for the rest of the general public.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card 2024: A faraway place that you would like to visit

  • Why do you want to visit it?

travel Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in dehradun

Sample Answer

Travelling is wonderful to experience and learn new things. I am a person who enjoys travelling and exploring new places. Travelling according to me is a great way to relax and unwind while making new experiences and memories.

Talking about a faraway place, it is an island named Bali in Indonesia. One of the most charming places in the world, it is a bouquet of beauty. It is famous for its volcanic mountains, beaches, sunset scenes, coral reefs, resort towns, temples and many more local landmarks. One can relax here in many ways and there is a lot to do and to explore.

I came to know about the island from a friend who had visited there last year. I looked it up on the internet and was instantly smitten by its natural beauty. The intriguing geographical characteristics of the island make for a host of wonderful places to visit, which is really interesting. My probable visit here would be in January next year and would be relatively easier than any other country like Canada or the United Kingdom. The visa process is very easy and the travel costs are affordable. The Indonesian currency is very cheap in comparison to the Indian rupee making the food and lodging costs highly affordable for the Indian visitors.

I have already visited and explored most of the Indian states and enjoyed the things they have to offer. I now wish to explore other lands to experience new cultures, meet new people, and to have a glimpse of what the other parts of the world look like. These are a few reasons as to why I wish to travel to Bali for a vacation.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q1: Why do people like visiting different places?
People, irrespective of where they live, get bored easily and want to experience new things once in a while. It’s because of this that tourism is one of the biggest industries of the world. People want to see how other people live, what their lifestyle is like, and what kinds of food they eat. With exposure to the internet, more and more people are aware of different places and cultures and thus would like to visit these places.

Q2: With whom do you go on vacation?
I prefer to go out with my friends. Once, I went with my family on a hiking trip, and it wasn’t a pleasurable experience. My parents weren’t able to climb quickly, and because of them, I had to keep on stopping from time to time. Moreover, our tastes don’t align, and we end up arguing where we should visit and what we should do. With friends, it’s relatively simple as we all have the same taste and requirements.

Q3: What all preparations do you do when visiting new places?
First of all, the kind of clothes I am going to wear while visiting other places depends on the weather conditions of that place. If it’s warm, then, of course, I would pack light. However, if it’s going to be cold, I would have to carry double the luggage with all the coats, jackets, etc. I also take into account the local customs of the place and try to wear the clothes that are not too different from the local attire. Locals always appreciate when we take the effort to appreciate their culture and their customs.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card: Something you learned in a math lesson in a primary school.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

  • What did you learn?

  • How do you feel about it?

 

school Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

Learning is a continuous process that one undergoes throughout all his life. Schools are the starting phase of this journey where we learn a lot about various subjects. Such lessons stay with us all our lives. I still remember most of what I was taught in school but one particular lesson that I learned in my fifth standard math class is memorable.

I was taught mental math in a lesson during my fifth grade. Mental math is a way to calculate answers for simple mathematical problems using quick calculation skills and facts about mathematics. It helps me quickly solve various complex problems by the use of methods such as division, multiplication or addition. Practising mental math can enable us to mentally calculate without the need of writing. I have practised the lesson to set it in my memory. It is effective, faster, and aids during tough situations that might require quick and logical thinking.

During this lesson I learned various methods to make calculations in different ways which save time during tests or other real-life situations. This lesson also motivated me to practice such exercises to become more adept at estimation and computation of larger figures eliminating the use of pen and paper. I am thankful to my school for providing me with such useful knowledge which is of practical importance in my everyday life.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q1: Why do people learn maths?
Absolutely! Maths is one of the most important subjects taught in school. It builds our basic understanding of how things work. It helps in the development of the brain and enhances our cognition capability. Basics of mathematics like addition, subtraction, etc are something that we use in our everyday lives. Even a little kid wanting to buy candy would quickly make a calculation in his head about how many candies he can get. From candies to corporations, everything runs on mathematics. Thus, it is an indispensable part of learning.

Q2: How is maths helpful in our daily lives?
In my opinion, Maths is very useful in our daily lives. We need to make hundreds of calculations in a given day. Starting with grocery shopping to how we take our business forward, everything needs mathematics. Mathematics is also fundamental in the development of a child’s brain and kids who are better at maths have more chances of being more successful in life.

Q3: Should maths be compulsory for all students to learn?
Well, I think basic maths should be a part of our learning as it is indispensable to our day-to-day lives, and we can’t get away from it. However, some aspects of mathematics like advanced algebra and trigonometry can be done away with as these are too complex to be used by non-professionals and students can learn other more useful subjects instead.
