IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Describe a song that has a special meaning to you.

• Which song is it?
• Who is the singer of this song?
• When did you first hear it?
• Why does this song have a special meaning to you?

Sample Answer

Music is one of the best things that have happened in this world. Its essence can be seen by the way it touches people’s hearts and invokes various emotions within. I am very fond of listening to music. I only listen to instrumental tracks when I work or study as they help me concentrate, but while lying idle or driving, I listen to a wide array of songs from different genres.

These can range from Rock to Jazz, depending on my feelings and whereabouts. A song that has a very special meaning to me is “Under Your Scars” by a band named Godsmack. I heard it first while looking for an older song from the band last year. The genre is Rock, and is sung and composed by the band’s lead singer, Sully Erna. The song is the most popular out of the album “When Legends Rise”. Sully Erna is an internationally renowned artist who is immensely popular in the Rock genre. His band is a commercially low profile band and I am a huge fan of it and the music.

The song is a rock ballad that invokes very strong emotions in my heart. It is about a person calling out his love and talking about their feelings and remembering the times when they were together. He urged his love on questions about things not going as planned. The lyrics are far more beautiful than how I show them, and I am in love with this song. I respect the singer from my heart and have been listening to this song every now and then ever since.

Something you learned in a math lesson in a primary school.

• What did you learn?
• How did it help you?
• How do you feel about it?

 

Sample Answer

Learning is a continuous process that one undergoes throughout all his life. Schools are the starting phase of this journey where we learn a lot about various subjects. Such lessons stay with us all our lives. I still remember most of what I was taught in school but one particular lesson that I learned in my fifth standard math class is memorable.

I was taught mental math in a lesson during my fifth grade. Mental math is a way to calculate answers for simple mathematical problems using quick calculation skills and facts about mathematics. It helps me quickly solve through various complex problems by the use of methods such as division, multiplication or addition. Practicing mental math can enable us to mentally calculate without the need of writing. I have practiced the lesson to set it in my memory. It is effective, faster, and aids during tough situations that might require quick and logical thinking.

During this lesson I learned various methods to make calculations in different ways which save time during tests or other real-life situations. This lesson also motivated me to practice such exercises to become more adept at estimation and computation of larger figures eliminating the use of pen and paper. I am thankful to my school for providing me with such useful knowledge which is of practical importance in my everyday life.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

A faraway place that you would like to visit.

• Which place is it?
• When do you plan to visit it?
• Why do you want to visit it?

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.
