Describe a time when you borrowed something from someone.

You should know:

What did you borrow?

How did it help you?

What lesson, if any, did you learn from your experience?

Oh! I remember a time when I was appearing in my final exams in class twelfth. I was taking an exam and suddenly I ran out of ink. A day prior, I had planned to buy a new pen, but then it slipped out of my mind, and I forgot to buy it. Making things worse, Mr. Cloyd was our invigilator that day. He was one of the most feared teachers in our school. He was known for his discipline and his strict demeanor. He was certainly not the kind of person you would go to for help. I hesitantly asked him if I could borrow a pen from someone. Contrary to my expectations, he pulled out a pen out of his pocket and gave it to me. On top of that, there was a smile on his face. An hour later when I went to return it to his office he asked me to keep the pen and wished me good luck for my future.

I don’t know what got into him that day, but his kind gesture really left me stunned. I had always thought of him as someone to be the last person who would provide any kind of help but there he was, helping me in my time of need. We humans tend to make our opinions very quickly. We have this propensity of judging people, even before we know them well. I learnt from this experience that it’s always better to avoid having any preconceived notions about people, and to really make judgments about them only after we know them well. (294 words)

IELTS Cue Card 2024: A friend from childhood you remember very well.

August 14, 2024 IELTS Research

A friend from childhood you remember very well:

You should know:

When and how did you first meet this friend?

What did you like to do together?

What did you have in common?

Sample Answer

Friendship is a beautiful relation that touches everyone’s lives in a different way. I too have had many amazing people as my friends, especially during my childhood. I can recall many such friends who were very close to me, but the closest one was Smith.

He was my best friend for a better part of my childhood. I met him when I was 6 years old. He lived in the neighborhood just two houses away from ours. I met him on the first day in the society garden. I was roaming about aimlessly when he appeared and asked me if I live here. We started talking and discovered a lot of common things to talk about. Soon became the best buddies for almost 7 years until his family moved to another state. We had a lot of matching thoughts and hobbies. We both liked playing video games, collecting comic books, watching cartoons, reading stories, amongst other activities. We used to go to school and many other outings together. We also played and studied together at both our homes.

Our goals in the future were also the same as we both wanted to become teachers when we grew up. We even had a similar taste in food and dressing ideas. This friendship was important to me to such an extent that I considered him as my sibling more than a friend. He was the only neighboring kid who I spent the maximum amount of my time with. The best part is all the memories that we created together and the fact that I still cherish them in my heart.

Describe your home town.

You should know:

Where is your hometown?

What is it famous for?

What do people do here?

My home town is Dehradun a valley town nestled in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. A bouquet of picturesque sights and natural landscapes, it is certainly one of the most beautiful places one can visit in India. It is also the state capital of Uttarakhand, and is two hundred and fifty kilometers away from the national capital.

Dehradun is also colloquially known as the gateway to God’s abode. It is famous for its variegated plethora of tourist attractions such as Mussouri, Kempty falls, Camel’s back mountains, and many other such beautiful places. In addition to it, the suburb is also renowned as an education hub seeing that it plays a host to many good colleges and institutions. Many students from all over the country come to study here.

Furthermore, the Indian Military Academy is also situated near the heart of the city and is a crown jewel of the city, imparting a glorious prestige to the place. Other famous attributes include seasonal fruits such as lichi as well as the pleasant weather conditions that prompt tourism as well. In fact, it is one of the few places in the country where one can experience five different seasons of the year. Dehradun is a developing place and is home to many local businesses in the field of marketing, sales, information technology, construction, and food. In fact, people apart from farming and government jobs work in these sectors to make a living.

Moreover, it is a maze of long winding roads with a lot of twists and turns and has its own unique essence that the locals cherish. These are a few reasons for my hometown being beautiful and for my love for the place.

IELTS Cue Card 2024: Talk about a time when you complained about something.

August 9, 2024 IELTS Research

Talk about a time when you complained about something.

You should know:

What was the issue?

Who did you complain about it?

What was the result?

How did you feel about it?

Sample answer:

Complaining about a product or service that we buy is also a common phenomenon. We always contact customer services to know any details, to give feedback, or to discuss any issues. I have also complained about a lot of problems relating to the products that I purchase. I fancy myself as an electronic gadget collector and keep purchasing the latest gadgets and electronics that are releasing in the market every now and then.

I once purchased a new phone from a brand outlet in my city. Basically, it was a smartphone and I liked it very much. Two days passed by and the phone’s screen stopped working as soon as I put it on charge. This sudden issue in the device both surprised and saddened me. Anyway, I tried to power the device on and off and went through with all the steps listed in the user manual, but to no avail. Eventually, I called up the service centre, to complain about it and listed out the issue to them with details. They made me reboot the phone and reconnect the battery. These steps did not work and hence they told me to bring over the phone to the centre.

I eagerly took the phone to them and they told me after checking the device that it was a software issue. The staff were very polite and fixed the issue very quickly, without any extra cost. I was very happy about the prompt service and proper ownership of the staff. It was a satisfying experience visiting the service centre and receiving a prompt reply regarding my complaint.
