IELTS BAND7 Cue card Talk about a situation when you had to wait

Sample Answer:

Nobody likes to wait. Specially in these modern times, people have lost their patience because of the fast-moving technical era. In today’s world, everything is fast and quick. Be it the speedy delivery of food that we order on Swiggy and Zomato or ordering items on Blinkit. Even I am such a person who does not like to wait. However, there was a situation where I had to wait for a long time, and today I would like to discuss it. So this is a recent incident when my younger brother was appearing for his competitive examinations. He recently did his schooling, and he enrolled for a competitive exam, which is NEET. This exam happened in the month of August this year, and I went along with him to the examination center. The whole situation was quite stressful, and my brother was nervous for his exam. On our way, I was trying to calm him down. As soon as we reached the examination center, he went inside and started doing all the preparation procedures. I could see him standing in the queue, and I was waiting outside on a bench under a tree. Within 15 minutes, the whole queue had cleared up, and my brother went inside the examination hall, and I lost his sight. Now I had to wait for him till he completed his paper. His exam was for three long hours, and it was a hot, sunny day. For the first hour, I was just watching reels on my mobile phone, and the time passed easily, but soon my phone’s battery went low, and I had to keep my phone aside. It was now that I realized that it would get difficult for me to pass the time for the next two hours. The climate was getting more hot, and I was thirsty, so I walked out of the examination center to find a shop where I could buy a chilled water bottle. I couldn’t find any shops nearby, but luckily I saw a cafe. So I went to this cafe, and it had a very cozy corner where I sat and ordered some coolers and a sandwich for myself. I finished eating. I saw There was a magazine in this cafe, so I picked it up and started reading it. Soon I realized an hour had already passed. It was a great relief for me after eating and reading, and I went back to the examination center and started waiting on the same bench, but this last or seemed the most difficult to pass. The sun was on my head, and I was sweating. I realized that coming back to the examination center was a bad idea and I should have stayed at the cafe itself. After 10–15 minutes, I saw four little kids approaching the tree under which I was sitting. These kids came there to play, and I asked them if I could join. They were very happy to have my company, and we played for the rest of the time. This was the best thing that I did that day. It was very relaxing to play with the kids, and I relived my childhood. While playing, I suddenly heard the bell ringing, and it was the alarm about the examination’s ending. I waited for another five minutes for my brother to come out, and I was really happy to see him and hear that his exam really went well. So this was the longest time I had to wait however it was not that boring as I thought it would be.

Sample Answer:
The presented pie charts depict how much proportion of money U.S.A natives had spent on seven distinct categories in two specific years 1966 and 1996.

Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that food sector was leading in the beginning of the period, whilst cars segment overtook the position after 30 years of time span.

Looking at the details, in 1966, food was the most popular category amid Americans, constituting more than two-fifths of their spending (44%). Almost half of this percentage, customers allocated on cars, making it the second highest on list. In contrast, the lowest expenditure U.S residents made was on computers, accounting at just 1%. Expenses by them on furniture and petrol were nearly one-tenth each. Books and restaurants spending stood at 6% and 7% respectively.

Moving further, after 3 decades, food sector experienced/ underwent a steep decline and amounted to 14%, whereas expenditure on cars rose substantially from 23% to 45%. Interestingly, budget for books dropped to only 1%, while the computer segment had risen dramatically to 10%. Notably, restaurants spending percentage doubled from 7% to 14%. Lastly, the figure for furniture and petrol fell down to 8%. (194 Words)
