Sample Answer

Gift giving is simply an act of love, care and gratitude. It always brings a smile on the face of the person who receives it. Certainly, selecting a gift for someone is actually a complex process. Nonetheless, it helps an individual to define relationships and strengthen bonds with family and friends. Recently, I gave a gift to my younger sister. Her name is Shraddha, and she studies in class 9. I had promised her to gift a watch if she would stand first in the class. Since she stood first in the class, I gifted her a branded wristwatch.

Although my sister is very intelligent and hard-working, I want her to be more disciplined and punctual. That is why I gifted her a watch to make her understand the value of time. Moreover, wearing a branded watch has also become a status symbol. A watch is a reflection of one’s style, taste and personality. People not only wear watches to see the time but also to make a style statement as well. Different varieties of branded and non-branded watches are available in the market. This certainly makes the choice easier.

The colour of the watch was black with a big round dial. The watch was simple yet elegant, just like my sister. Fortunately, I was able to choose and buy a perfect gift matching my sister’s personality. She felt so delighted to receive the much-awaited gift. She kissed and hugged me tightly to show that she really liked the gift. I could see the sparkles in her eyes and gratification in her gestures, which eventually made me happy.

Cue Card – Describe something you lost that was very close to your heart

June 9, 2026 IELTS Research

Cue Card

Describe something you lost that was very close to your heart.

What it was?
Where did you get it from?
Why was it precious?
How did you lose it?

Answer: Everyone has their favourite possessions, and losing them can be very heartbreaking. Today, I would like to talk about my one such experience. In the fifth grade, I had a friend named Kanishka, and we both were very close during our school days. I remember once she went on an international trip to visit her aunt in Australia.

After returning, she brought me a beautiful and functional souvenir. It was a lovely blue-coloured pen with a matching keychain. I still remember my excitement and happiness when she handed the gift to me. As I have never had an international gift before, at that young age it became really special to me.

The pen had a plastic body with printed kangaroos on it, and it wrote very smoothly. I used it only on special occasions because I was afraid of damaging it. Unfortunately, last year I misplaced it during a school event. Even though I searched for it everywhere, I couldn’t find it. I was genuinely very upset and disappointed, as it was not just a gift but a precious token of my friendship.

Although I lost the pen, I still have the keychain which reminds me of the good old memories. I have kept it in a safe place in my almirah and do not use it on daily basis as I fear losing it. I believe that the reason this loss affected me so much was because it was valuable not because of its price but due to the emotions which were attached to it.
