Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a successful business you know .

You should say:

Who this person is?

How you knew him/her?

What business this person does?

Sample Answer

Without a doubt, managing a business is a demanding endeavour . The upcoming ups and downs require patience and preparation. A very small percentage of people pursue careers in business. Zoravar , one of my friends, is a successful businessman. He was the one who would always think outside the box in our group. He, however, had always desired to launch his own company, even if the rest of us were training for government employment in order to have a stable future. He was full of business ideas, none of which we would consider plausible. But he never wavered in his self-belief or his resolve to manage a profitable company. Last year I met him after a long time at a friend’s wedding, he acted just like he always did. Zoravar also made appearances on well-known podcasts. He currently owns multiple companies. My favourite project of his is his well-known clothing line. Both the pricing and the quality are really excellent.

sick Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in dehradun

Sample Answer

A healthy lifestyle is an important factor in keeping a body healthy. It is highly necessary to maintain a proper routine in order to keep your body healthy. There are different ailments one can suffer from due to various reasons, such as cold, flu, nausea, and many more. I also fell ill at the start of this winter season, during last December.

I have recently shifted to Dehradun and this was my first winter season spent here. As I had shifted from another city and did not take heed of the weather change. Moreover, I ate a lot of cold foods and beverages and roamed around the city in the cold winds without wearing warm clothes. Due to these negligent practices, I caught cold and a high fever with severe body ache.

I was very tired that day due to lack of sleep. I was coughing, sneezing, and had a running nose. It was a very bad experience and it taught me a lot. With a lot of difficulty, I got ready and went to a doctor. The doctor advised me medicines and gave me strict instructions to follow regarding my routine and things to take care of during extremely cold weather. During my bed-rest, I had to take leaves from office, resulting in a disrupted routine, and loss of pay. My work and social life suffered equally, and I learned a lesson to maintain a proper routine and to take care of my health in order to prevent any future illnesses.

CUE CARD – Describe a place you visited where the air was polluted.

November 22, 2025 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a place you visited where the air was polluted.

You should say:

Where the place is?

When you visited?

Why the air was not good?

And explain how you felt about the place.

Sample Answer

With 8 Billion people living on our planet Earth, there isn’t much that’s left untouched by all of the humans. We need to exploit the earth’s resources in order to fulfill our daily basic needs. This is one of the main reasons as to why the pollution has grown so much throughout the years. I vividly remember that I went to Delhi, the capital of our nation, a few years ago with my family to meet some of our relatives who live there. As soon as we stepped into that city, we could feel the suffocation in the environment. There were so many people everywhere. The number of vehicles on the road was also enormous. We were stuck in the traffic jam for about 3 hours. To be exact about it, we entered Delhi at 4 pm but couldn’t reach our destination until 7:00 pm. The pollution caused by the rising population was quite evident in this metropolitan city. We couldn’t even breathe properly. Due to the pollution, we were feeling more hot and sweaty. After this trip me along with my family decided to not visit Delhi frequently as it was not our cup of tea. The government needs to consider the pollution there and take preventive measures to secure it from further exploitation.

Speaking -Part 3 (Follow up questions)
Here are some examples of follow up questions that examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to cue card ‘Describe a place you visited where the air was polluted’.

Q1. Is there more pollution now than in the past?

Definitely, it is an undeniable fact that the pollution has grown so much ever since humans have advanced in all the aspects of life. There is a huge difference between the older time period and now. Nothing is as fresh and pollution free as it used to be in the older days. Even the population has increased very rapidly.

Q2. In what wats can air pollution be reduced effectively?

According to me there are plenty of ways to reduce the pollution. Firstly, people should avoid using private vehicles and switch to public ones.
People can start planting as much as possible and the factories or power plants must install air and water purifiers.

Describe a time when you observed the stars

Where did you observe the stars?

Where and with whom you went?

Could you let me know what you observed?

And explain how you felt when you saw the stars.

Sample Answer

Since childhood, I had an immense interest in aeronautical science. Information related to space would always fascinate me. I guess, I inherited this interest from my grandfather who would always share stories related to planets and stars. He used to work at the space research team in India. My grandfather has narrated to me the numerous benefits of sky gazing. According to him, if anyone is searching for peace, calm, and a sense of purpose during this period of immense chaos, sky gazing proves to be the best alternative as it helps to our minds and rejuvenate our spirits. Apart from that, it makes us more compassionate towards others. I can easily recall many incidents when I would observe stars with my grandfather. But today, I will be mentioning a time when I observe stars with my grandfather. But today, I will be mentioning a time when I observed the stars alone. It was in 2021, I used to work as an accountant in a company. I had a hectic day at work and was completely drained out. After having dinner I went straight to the terrace where I usually have a stroll. I plugged in earphones and tuned into my favorite song. While walking I was gazing at the sky. Meanwhile, I noticed a bright light falling from the sky, at first I thought it was just a light pole but I was wrong. Watching closely I realized it was a shooting star. Some say that shooting stars can fulfill a wish hence I quickly made a wish. I am not sure whether it is going to get fulfilled but still I did it. After spending an hour on the terrace I felt relaxed and more rejuvenated than before. I think sky gazing therapy is quite underrated if compared with its benefits. I have recommended this activity to my friends and colleagues to which I have recommended this activity to my friends and colleagues to which I have received a good respond.
