IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Family Friend

We all make friends in our lives as we grow. There are some who remain our friends, some we lose touch, either ways, people who do come in our lives, come to change it, sometimes a little, sometimes forever. But, there are some friends we meet either through some previous family relations or we become so close to them that even our families come closer. Today, to talk and honor such friendships which bring two families together, let us have a look at the cue card that talks about a family friend you still remember.

Describe a friend of your family you remember from your childhood.

You should say:

  • who this person was
  • how you & your family knew this person
  • how often this person visited your house

and explain why you remember this person.

Sample Answer 1:

I remember living in a official colony, since my father was a government employee. Most of the people knew each other and gathered together for festivals and daily for evening walks. One such family was of Mr.Pancholi. They used to live next to our house and we both belonging to the same native place came upon to gel with each other.

Pancholi’s had three kids and the one that I became really good friends with was Sakshi Pancholi. Initially, we both had some sort of rivarly between us and did not liked each others company. However, with passing time as we came to know each other, we became really good friends. So good of friends that people started calling us soul sisters.

It was during that time, we would go at each others house almost daily. Sometimes to study together, sometimes eat together and then there were times that we even slept at each others house. It was a great relationship that we both shared and the families loved it. However, soon her father got transfered and they had to leave. When she left, I recall it was for the first time that I felt emptiness in my life.

We had been friends for almost three years and I was in class 3rd or may be 4th. The reason I still remember her is because, I have never been one of those person who had many friends. It was for the first time that I had a very good friend. And after her it was only in class 11th that I again made friend. She has been my first best friend till date.


Sample Answer 2:

As a child, I had many friends but there was this boy, I can remember, his name was Prateek. We did really became good friends and it was later that we realized that our families knew each other and we are sort of family friends. Prateek’s father was actually my father’s team mate and they both knew each other very well.

We both bonded over a match of cricket and then went on to talk about books and cars and famous people and almost everything. Although we were really good friends, I don’t recall having visted each others house very frequent. The only times we would go to the other person’s house would be when we had to call each other for playing game or for cycling or for studying. Most often we used to go to the public library to study because there we got not only silence but also some great books.

The reason I can still remember this person is because we truly had a great bond over the  period of four years. We would go about talk and cycle and play and then study. There were times when we would fight with each other and sometimes fight for each other. It was an amazing relation and we still are in touch. However, the relation is not the way it used to be, but however it is, it surely is great.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Photograph

Describe a photograph you have taken yourself which you particularly like.

You should say:

  • what the picture show
  • when you took it
  • why you took it

And explain why you particularly like this photograph.

Capturing photographs is a way of capturing moments, to remember them even after they fade from your memories. Until now, I had been capturing non-living things, but recently my friend told me the importance of capturing lives of humans and moments and since then I have photographed lot of humans and their emotions.

Recently I got my oppo neo 5, smart phone and it has got an amazing camera. The most recent photo that I took was of a father and daughter sitting in the beach and enjoying the waves. The daughter was sitting behind the father and had grabbed him by his waist. Whenever the waves were coming, he would get hold of her daughter more firmly than ever. It was an amazing moment for me, because in a simple act of holding and hiding and enjoying the waves, I could see the love and the care and the moment I captured it, it was amazing and I am almost in awe with it.

The one reason that I really love this photo is because it shows human relations and feelings so well. There is work and we all are fighting towards making our career but then there is love, fear and laugh. Every time the wave hit the father and touched the daughter, she got excited and you can almost get to know what exactly was happening in this one picture.


Photographs are image of the kind of life that we live and the things that we see. They show so much more that often gets hidden from our naked eyes and it is all so much more fascinating.

Recently, I bought a DSLR for myself and went on capturing moments of people, animals and monuments and so much more. Things about nature and life, but it was few months back that I was going through all the photographs that I had taken and saw the one photo I don’t even remember taking.

The photo is blurred, so the main focus of my photograph was a bird was was about to land but she got blurred but what I captured was very beautiful. So, in the middle is the bird, which has got hazed away, and to one side of it are a beautiful  young couple, having a quiet beautiful moment with each other and to the other side of the bird is a very old couple, holding hands together, most probably to support each other and it is so amazing, to capture love through all of its shades.

I know my mind wanted to capture a bird landing on earth, but what the camera captured was surely much more amazing than I could have ever captured. The beauty of human emotions.

There are several reasons why I love this photograph. One is that it captured human emotions so beautifully. It shows that no matter how much we talk about money and career and doing things and everything, the most important thing is life and successful person is one who is able to live the life with lot of happiness and love.

IELTS Cue Card # Television

LATEST IELTS CUE CARD

Describe a television program that you like to watch.You should say:

  • what program it is?
  • what the program is about?
  • How often you watch it?

and explain why you like watching this program.

Sample Answer One

Television has been my favorite time pass for a very long time. There have been so many shows that I have loved but the one which in some ways has stuck to my personality is ‘Dill Mill Gaye’. This was a romantic comedy that aired when I was in class VIII and have watched the entire show for the next two years.

The show was about doctors who fall in love and then struggle in between their personal and professional lives. It was, I believe and ultimate depiction of what love is in this century. With so many priorities around us, so much of ego, misunderstanding and failures, to be able to keep the love and friendship alive is of a big question and this is what happened in Dill Mill Gaye.

I remember having watched the show twice everyday. The first time when it used to be actually aired and then the next time when it was repeated. The reason I loved watching is too an extent unknown to me. The only thing that I can say is that I loved when the two main leads who were in love, fought with each other. The fact that they could just say about anything to the other person, yet knowing that the other person will always be theirs, the confidence that they had in their love,the madness. Too an extent, yes these were the things that I really loved and has defined what love is for me.



Sample Answer Two

Television has been an integral part of our lives. There have been many shows that I have watched on television, however, now I prefer watching YouTube.com. But, the one show that I really loved was Sherlock Holmes. The show is about a detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend Dr. Watson who go on to solve the tough mysteries which the police is not able to solve and then some which come directly to him.

I think rarely would there be a person who would not love the way Sherlock Holmes just solves the case. The way he just looks into the minute details and leave doctor watson in ultimate shock.

It is truly amazing. Right from the start of the episode one could just sit down wondering as to what might be the scenario this time. How will the events unfurl this time . What new places is Sherlock Holmes going to take us and what else is he going to show us. The mind comes to a reason to certain things and then the quick response from Sherlock Holmes leaves us baffled at the possibilities.

I have almost all episodes of its seasons and watch them whenever I feel lonely or upset or bored or anytime. There is no specific reason to watch Sherlock Holmes in action.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Trip On Public Transport

There are so many times that we go out to visit places on a public transport. Some of the times the trips are amazing, however there are times when the trips turn out to be night mares for us. This time we are going to talk about a trip on public transport.

Describe a trip that you made by public transport.

You should say:

  • When and where you went
  • What kind of transport you used
  • How was your trip

and explain why did you choose to use public transport

Sample Answer

Public transports, according to my father are the safest means of commuting from one place to another. So, one day, while coming back from shopping, I got late and decided to go by public transport. The place that I went to was 1 hour away from the training center where I had my accommodation fixed.

When I boarded the bus, it was kind of filled and I did not got any seat to sit. However, I thought that it might get empty as the journey would begin as people might start leaving the bus and would go for their homes. But, it was a wrong speculation made which I realized later on. With time passing by, more and more people started filling in and at one point of time we were all standing neck to neck with each other having no space between two bodies.

To worsen the situation, the bus did not had any opened windows and after some time it became very suffocating. Initially, I thought I will be able to bare it but to my surprise, after twenty minutes I fainted. I could barely stand and the girl sitting next to me, gave me her seat. It was a lovely gesture that she did and I thanked her for it.

The seat was a real relief, although there were still so many people standing on my head, with me being able to sit, I was able to regain some energy. The girl left the bus after some time and the one hour long journey came to end after some time.

It was a real terrific experience for me because I was emaciated and torn. It was that day that I swore not to travel by public transport. However, later I had to because of certain reasons, but the travel was fine. I suppose, it must have been a bad day.


Public transports are the most common way to commute between cities in our country. Most of the people use public transports like city bus or inter-city buses to travel. Last month I had to go to Puri to visit the Puri Rath Yatra and planned to travel by a taxi. However, due to some reasons the taxi driver refused to come and I had to travel using public transport. I chose the city bus to reach the bus stand and then from there took the bus to reach Puri.

Initially, I did not got seat for five minutes, but the conductor was kind enough to make changes in the seat arrangement and make sure that I have the seat, in the next five minutes. I got a window seat and was able to see the scenery outside. It was a real beautiful experience for me as it was the time of Rath yatra and along with me there were several other devotees. Some of them started chanting mantras and songs in praise of their deities. The entire environment was so soothing and nice that one could just instantly fall in love with everything.

I reached Puri in about an hour and half and from there went to the Rath Yatra. On coming back, I again preferred the city bus service as I found them really nice and comfortable.

IELTS BAND7

We all love our parents and believe that parents do play a very important role in everyone’s life. But the one parents, or for that matter, the one mother that I truly adore is the mother of great scientist Thomas Alva Edison. I don’t know much about her because of the reason that there is so less said about her but the one incidence that is talked about gives a lasting impression of the kind of lady she was.

It is said that once Thomas came back home with a note saying that he cannot read or write anymore and his mother read it and told that he is brilliant and can achieve whatever he thinks he can. Instead of losing faith on his child because of what the school said, her mother believed his child. She taught him and I think it was only because of her that the world had one of the greatest scientist of the century, Thomas Alva Edison.

There are parents who love their child, ones who teach their child but someone who could trust their  child even when the world went against them, it requires lot of love, perseverance and trust.

I believe to be a good parent requires you to be great individuals first. Because a child often learn more by what he or she sees than what he or she is told to do. Apart from that the one thing which I believe truly separates normal parents from the great parents, is the trust they have on their child and his or  her potential. It surely takes lot of love and more important trust ones own upbringing to be able to trust the child completely.

I believe it is only when a child is trusted and told that he or she is trusted that the true nature of the child evolves.
