IELTS Cue Card : Talk about a time when you complained about something.

January 7, 2026 IELTS Research

Talk about a time when you complained about something.

You should know:

What was the issue?

Who did you complain about it?

What was the result?

How did you feel about it?

Sample answer:

Complaining about a product or service that we buy is a common phenomenon. I have also complained about the problems relating to the products that I purchase. Today I am going talk about one such time.

I am very fond of electronic gadgets and I always buy the latest items that are released in the market. I recently purchased a new phone from a renowned outlet in my city. It was a smartphone and I liked it very much.

For the first two days, the phone worked well. But, after that the screen stopped working while being on charge. This sudden issue in the device both surprised and saddened me. I tried to power the device, switched on and off and followed all the steps listed in the user manual, but the problem did not solve. Eventually, I called up the customer service centre to lodge a complain and explained the issue to the executive. Initially, he made me reboot the phone and reconnect the battery. When these steps did not help at all, I was asked to bring the phone to the outlet.

I immediately went to the store and gave the phone at the counter. After checking the device, the staff on duty told me that it was a software issue. The staff were very polite. They fixed the issue very quickly, without any extra cost. I was very happy with the prompt professional service and support provided by the staff. I thanked them and returned home with a positive experience.

Feel free to call for suggestions and queries.

January 6, 2026 IELTS Research

Describe your hometown.

You should know:

Where is your hometown?

What is it famous for?

What do people do here?

My hometown is Dehradun. It is a valley town nestled in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. Picturesque sights and natural landscapes make it one of the most beautiful places to visit in India. It is also the state capital of Uttarakhand, and is about two hundred and fifty kilometers away from the national capital, New Delhi.

For its central location and religious significance, Dehradun is colloquially known as the gateway to God’s abode. Apart from the holy spirit, tourist attractions like Mussoorie, Kempty falls, Camel’s back mountains, Robber’s cave and the Forest Research Institute give Dehradun a different feel. Adding further, this city is renowned as an education hub. Students of all age groups from different parts of the country come to study here.

Another notable centre of attraction in Dehradun is the prestigious Indian Military Academy. It is a crown jewel which imparts a glorious prestige to the whole state of Uttarakhand. The pleasant weather of Dehradun also deserves special mention here. It is one of the few places in the country where one can experience five different seasons of the year.

In terms of the infrastructure and businesses, Dehradun is developing gradually. Education, manufacturing, food production and information technology are the main sectors which provide employment to a large number of people. As a whole, Dehradun has its own unique essence that the locals cherish. Its natural beauty, weather and quality of life, all make it a lovable place for everyone, including me.

IELTS Cue Card – Describe a person who thinks a lot about music.

January 5, 2026 IELTS Research

Describe a person who thinks a lot about music.

You should say:

Who this person is?

How do you know him/her?

What music he/she likes?

And explain how you feel about him/her

SAMPLE ANSWER

Music has no boundaries and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Today, I’d like to talk about my brother, who is a music enthusiast. His entire life revolves around music.
For my brother, music is not just a mere form of entertainment but a therapy that rejuvenates people and provides inner peace. He is also extremely fascinated by different genres, their history, and the musical instruments used to produce the beautiful tones that captivate our minds. I’ve seen him researching the types of music and how and when they originated, which sometimes makes no sense to me, but then I realise: Is this what is being called crazy about something?
I sometimes talk with him about music, and his answers surprise me. Conversations with him often circle back to music. When he listens to music, he doesn’t hear it; instead, he tries to absorb each detail of the song. He loves listening to all genres, but I feel the ones he is crazy about are classical and rock music.
I don’t know exactly how much the knowledge of music is helpful and how far it would take my brother. However, seeing him, I’ve realised that one needs to be passionate enough to learn something new. With time, patience and practice, we can achieve everything we aim for.

IELTS Cue Card- Describe a school you went to in your childhood

January 3, 2026 IELTS Research

Describe a school you went to in your childhood.

You should say:

Where it was?

What it was like?

What did you learn there and explain how you felt about it?

SAMPLE ANSWER

When we talk about childhood, the first memories that we can recall are of our good times spent in school. I studied in Convent of Jesus & Mary, Dehradun. It is one of the most prestigious and oldest schools in Dehradun. Even though many years have passed since I left school, I vividly remember the impressive layout and architecture of my school.

There was a huge church at the entrance. After the church, there was a beautiful garden on one side and the rows of colourful seasonal flowers gave a warm welcome. All the students walked along this floral path towards the main building. A sense of calm pervaded over me when I stepped into the school every morning and walked down towards the main building.

The junior and senior sections had dedicated buildings. A vast playground separated the two wings. The playground was fully equipped with swings, monkey bars and sea-saws. Swings were my favourite. It was a routine for me to reach early so that I could play on the swings for few minutes before going to my class.

All the teachers in my school were very loving and caring. Throughout my schooling we were taught how to lead a disciplined life. The focus was on all round development and the teachers encouraged the students to participate in a range of extracurricular activities, from dramatics, dancing, singing to sports. The personality of every student was nurtured with utmost responsibility.

I consider myself fortunate to attend this school. Whatever I have achieved today the credit for it goes to the dedication of my school teachers.

STRONG WORDS

WORDS	MEANING
Pervaded (past tense)	spread through and be perceived in every part of e.g. The fragrance of the flowers pervaded the air.
Dramatics	the study or practice of acting in and producing plays
