IELTS Essay : Visitors to other countries should follow local customs

November 8, 2024 Anamika

Some believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs and behaviour. Others disagree and think that the host country should welcome cultural differences. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Sample Answer:

In recent times, travelling to international destinations has become a trend. With this a few individuals believe that travellers must follow the local culture of the serving country, whereas, the opposite believes they shall be given the freedom to follow the custom as per their preferences. I will discuss both the viewpoints in impending paragraphs and reach a logical conclusion.

Undoubtedly, following the customs of any local place would diversify the cultural knowledge of an individual as one person can get an in-depth knowledge of the host country’s culture. Resultantly, their perception about its culture would definitely improve. India would be a clear example of this since many global personalities have over the time claimed India to be a culturally rich nation.

Alternatively, freedom of cultural preference should be provided to a visitor for numerous reasons. Firstly, any individual wants to feel comfortable on vacation; if given a choice to follow their personal tradition, one can fully enjoy their leisure time. As a result,only that individual is likely to visit that place again as they felt relaxed and at-home while visiting this country.

In my perspective, following the local customs is much preferable as the visitors will be able to explore more. If they are ready to accept the new culture, local citizens would also take a keen interest in comprehending the cultural references for them.
In conclusion, although it is important to rejuvenate while on a vacation, I believe following a country’s local rituals would enhance one’s knowledge and also make them familiar with local people.

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.

The given pie charts compare the consumer spending on 7 different categories in 1966 IELTS BAND7 Best Coaching

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)

IELTS CUE CARD – Talk about an animal you like

November 6, 2024 IELTS Research

IELTS CUE CARD : Talk about an animal you like

You should say:

What this animal is

What is special about this animal?

How it looks like

And explain why you like this animal.

Sample Answer

Animals are eclectic creatures; they go all the way from the very friendly and domesticated to the lethal and feral. They come in a manner of shapes, sizes and colours. Even animals of a single species are incomparable to their counterparts due to the sheer number of differences.

Today I will talk about one of my all-time favourite animals; the horse. Now, again, horses come in all sorts of combinations. Shetland ponies have a stockier body, round shape, thick fur, and short stubby legs, they are not all that much used in athletic pursuits. Now Arabian Horses, on the other hand, are taller, sleekly built with light bones, used exclusively for racing. Now both of these are scientifically speaking horses, but are oh so different in appearance, nature and purpose.

Although despite the physical dissimilarity, all horses have some things in common which earn them the top spots among my favourite animals. For one, their movements. Whenever a horse moves, I can’t help but admire the powerful muscles bulging and gliding beneath their coats, the sheer potential power they have in each step is breathtaking. The way they move is more elegant than most humans can ever hope to achieve. Their might is undeniable. For another, they are loyal, intelligent, and empathetic creatures. The bonds that a rider and horse may form is second to none. The care they give to their young is much alike to the way humans interact with their parents. I find this incredibly heartwarming.

Additionally, horses are really fun to draw, be it in action poses or just dramatically standing on the edge of a cliff, they give a great perspective on autonomy along with spicing the image up with their natural dramatic flair. A great example of this is in the painting done by George Stubbs named “Whistlejacket”, the painting has absolutely no background, and yet you can feel the power radiating outward from that piece. It was one of my very first case studies on how to draw horses.

Speaking part 3 follow up questions:

Q.1 Do people in your country keep animals at home?

Animals like cows, buffaloes and goats are domesticated widely in the countryside. In fact, livestock rearing provides sustainable livelihoods to millions of people living in rural areas.

Q.2 Do you think pets are important?

Yes, certainly. Pets can bring love and companionship into our life. Many studies have shown that keeping pets reduces our stress levels, thereby improving our health and well-being.

Q.3 Do animals have rights?

Humans use animals for food and related by-products, farming and a variety of other uses. Everyday millions of different types of animals are killed for food globally. Just by looking at these figures, I’d say that these creatures should at least have the right to live. But, who cares? Laws are made for protecting animals but they don’t work in reality.

Useful words and their meanings
Eclectic	consisting of different types, methods, styles, etc.
