You should say

what the situation was
when it happened
who was with you
and explain why it was the happiest moment of your life.

Sample Answer

One of my most cherished moments in life was when I won the interdepartmental table tennis competition at my college. It happened last year, and I received gold medal for the Girls Singles competition. I had been practicing table tennis for almost 3 years now I have developed strong passion for the sport and wish to take my skills to the next level.

The competition was organized by college to promote sportsmanship among the students. All the matches were played in the sports hall where all the judges, audience and my friends were present. At first, I felt quite nervous due to the pressure of representing my own department. However, as the game begun I became more confident and enjoyed passing strong spins and shots.

The final match was very exciting as it was a tough competition which made the game challenging and exciting at the same time. The scores of both the teams were very close which created a strong momentum in the game. When the referee announced the results, I felt extremely happy and content with my own performance as all my efforts paid off.

After the match we celebrated our victory with friends and family. This was the happiest situation of my life as it was both an enriching as well as a learning experience for me. Its memories are always close to my heart.

Feel free to call for suggestions and queries.

May 29, 2026 IELTS Research

Speaking – Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste.

You should say:

When did you see it?

Where did you see it?

How you felt after seeing it?

Sample Answer

Plastic waste has become a pressing global problem. I explicitly remember a time when I saw a lot of plastic waste.

Last year, my friends and I planned a trip to Goa, a place famous for its exquisite beaches and mesmerising sunsets. We had a lot of fun there and explored some interesting places. We went to one of the famous beaches in Goa. It was truly amazing and had beautiful spots.

We were completely lost in admiring the beauty of that place until we noticed a heap of plastic garbage near the beach. Undoubtedly, it was a blot on the beauty of that place. The worst part was that animals nearby were consuming the waste, which was very harmful for their health.

All of us were quite upset with what we saw. We decided to give that place a new look and make our trip memorable. Certainly, it was not a piece of cake, but we couldn’t just leave that mess behind. We were filled with firm determination to clean it, so we divided ourselves into two groups, which had different tasks. One group collected the waste and packed it in bags, while the other cleaned.

Watching us, other tourists joined us, and it became a big hit. We were able to clean the place within a few hours. It was not less than a victory for each of us. The locals appreciated our efforts and apologised for the negligence they showed towards that place. They even assured us that from now on they would definitely take care of that place and would be vigilant about it.

Speaking – Part 3 (Follow-up questions)

Here are some examples of follow-up questions that the examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to the cue card ‘Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste’.

Q1. Why do people often like to use plastic?

I reckon the ultimate reason why people use plastic is that it is durable. Depending upon the composition, most plastic items take years to decompose. Another reason why people prefer plastic is because it is cheaper than other options available, for example, jute or paper bags.

Q2. How can we reduce the use of plastic?

There are many things that can be done to reduce plastic consumption. For instance, we can opt for eco-friendly options like jute bags in place of plastic bags. Apart from this, instead of using plastic containers or bottles, we can switch to steel or aluminium products.
