CUE CARD – Describe A Historic Place You Know

Speaking – Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a historic place you know

  • What kind of place it is?
  • What does it look like?
  • Where it is?
  • And explain how the place is related to history
Sample Answer

Historic structures serve as a reminder of our rich history and former splendour. Since I was little, I have always been fascinated by history. I used to read a lot and study the history of ancient times. I never pass up the opportunity to tour historical sites. It’s an intriguing encounter. I paid my aunt, who resides in Delhi, a visit last year. I had the chance to explore the Red Fort, one of India’s most popular tourist destinations, there. It is among the world’s seven wonders. It’s a massive red-painted palace. It was our first visit there.

The enormous gate that welcomed us was a stunning work of art. Many notable historical buildings remain, including Hira Mahal, Mumtaz Mahal, Rang Mahal, Meena Bazaar, and many more, despite the fact that the majority of buildings are either shattered or severely damaged. With a long history, Meena Bazaar is a well regarded destination for retrophiliac and antiquarian enthusiasts. In the past, it was mostly exclusive to women—royal ladies and noblemen’s wives, to start. It used to happen exclusively on designated days of the week or on significant occasions.

Nowadays, Meena Bazar is held every day from the afternoon till the evening, which has somewhat modified the situation. In addition to the massive garden’s doubled attractiveness due to its abundance of seasonal flowers and plants, I also saw a few peacocks. Overall, the Red Fort is a symbol of great Mughal architecture and prowess in the past.

IELTS GT Writing Task1

Sample Answer
Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the services I received at your restaurant.
I visited the restaurant on June 29th, 2024, with my family to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Based on recommendations from relatives and colleagues, I had high expectations, but unfortunately, our meal and the service did not meet those expectations.
We arrived at the restaurant around half past seven and had to wait an hour to be seated. Then, when we tried to place the order, the waiters were not very attentive and it took ages to place the order. We ordered Chinese food and it was served cold. The soup lacked freshness, and the prawns were undercooked. Our main course, mushroom fried rice with vegetables, was mistakenly served as fried rice with eggs. Moreover, resolving this issue took over 40 minutes, which was frustrating. When we tried to address these concerns with the head waiter, he was unresponsive and dismissive.
I hope you will take this feedback seriously and work on improving the quality of your meals and the professionalism of your staff. Addressing these issues will help ensure a better experience for future customers.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Mary Woods

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.

look after your house and pet while you are on holiday.

Sample Answer:

Dear Emily,

I hope life is treating you well! I was relieved on your response that you will be taking great care of my dog, Bruno as well as my house while I will be away from my home town. In case there was no prior bookings done for my vacation to Maldives. I would not have bothered you as it is a much-needed break for me.
I will be sharing the contact details of my neighbor Mrs. Annie; she resides just next to my abode. She would be available round the clock in case you need some assistance. Her number is 02066543 but she can only be contacted over a landline. Hope this will not be much of a problem for you.
Though taking care of Bruno is a tedious task, one has to be on knees all day round, as he is very mischievous. You know him quite well; he has grown when he was a pup in front of you. He was the bestest birthday gift from you, indeed! You need to take him on walk twice a day. In addition to this, you have to prepare his meals in his bowl which I have placed in the kitchen area near the cutlery shelf.
Would you mind me asking for some more help, as I would not be around, my garden area would need some watering during the evening hours, no specific time. Could be done whenever you have free time at hand. Have placed the main keys beside the garden area under the vibrant red carpet. Will be back home within a week. No need to worry as I have a duplicate set of keys making it possible for me to get in when I reach home. You please feel at home and make yourself comfortable.
Eagerly waiting for you to visit!
Lots of love,
Emma.
