Describe an interesting news about which people were very excited
You should say:

• And explain why this news story was interesting to you.

Sample Answer One:

I read the newspaper regularly. Today, I’m going to talk about a latest news that was exciting for many people.
The story was about India’s biggest test victory outside Asia. The Indian cricket team thrashed West Indies by an innings and 92 runs in the first test match. This was a challenging match as the opponents are known for their record breaking runs in test cricket.
I think this win was particularly crucial for the Indian team to prove their potential as the team was playing with a new coach. Apart from that, there were many young players who were participating in their first international test match. The result of this match was an achievement for the whole team and the nation.
Since cricket is a very popular sport in my hometown, almost everyone in my neighborhood was talking about this match. I found it fascinating because cricket is my favorite sport and I am the captain of my school team. We have played many state and national level matches. In the future, I want to be a part of the Indian cricket team so that I can bring laurels to my country. This thumping victory was very motivating and encouraging to me because I am a bowler and bowlers can be the game changers in this unpredictable game.

Sample Answer Two: (Writer: Akshay Tomar)

The other day I was browsing through the internet, when I read an article on some mind-blowing facts about Indian railways.
The article was about the maiden journey of Indian railway that was on April/16/1853 between Mumbai n Thane and its glorious history. Though, one theory suggests as per the archives of IIT Roorkee’s report on the Ganga Canal (1860) first train ran between Roorkee and Piran Kaliyar on Dec/22/1851.
The article was extensively covering about the history of India railways, as well some amazing facts were shared…… Indian railway has world’s fourth longest railway network, daily more than 23 million people travel with Indian rails. A train by the name “Fairy Queen” was certified by Guinness World Record as the world’s oldest steam locomotive in regular operations, in the year 1998. Under construction Chenab Railway Bridge, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir is expected to be one of the highest railway bridge when completed. As well four of the Indian railway sites have been declared “world heritage site” by UNESCO, they are Darjeeling year 1999, Mumbai CST Building 2004, Neelgiri Mountain Railways 2005, Kalka Shimla Railway 2008.
Throughout the years that I have spent in my country, I never realized that we have such a glorious past in the terms of Indian railway and this article certainly makes me proud of my country and its accomplishments.(228 Words)

Sample answer:

One particular event which I remember quiet clearly was when I had to babysit my little niece Apu. She was about 4 years old and adored stories. In order to entertain her,29 I picked the obvious route of introducing her to a story telling based game. This game heavily relied on the use of a creative imagination. I started off with a sentence which she in turn completed. Together we both created a magical world with flying mermaids and ice cream houses, it would have been quite a sight to behold. As we were creating the world beyond our dreams, I realised I felt like a mischievous kid. Once more I was free and happy, oblivious to what lay beyond our happy little world. Together me and Apu had a blast, we did not even notice when the time flew by. Since then it’s become her favourite game and we always play it together whenever I visit her.

IELTS Speaking 2021 Cue Card: A person who knows a lot about something

October 6, 2021 Pooja Ph.D. CELTA

IELTS Speaking 2021 Cue Card: A person who knows a lot about something

Describe someone who knows a lot about something

You should say:

Who he/she is

Where he/she lives

What he/she does

Explain why you think he knows a lot.

Sample Answer:

I’ve met many knowledgeable people in my life. Today, I’m going to talk about a person who knows a lot about automobiles.

His name is Gagan Agarwal. Originally, he is from a small town in Panjab but his family moved to Delhi 5 years ago. So, now, he lives in Delhi with his parents.

Gagan works as an executive car designer in Suzuki, a renowned automobile company. He is appointed in the head office in Delhi. He completed his Bachelor’s of Technology in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Delhi in 2015. Thereafter, he was selected by Suzuki.

I feel that Gagan is a towering intellectual. Despite being a fresh graduate, he was offered a place in a world-class organization. Many senior people struggle for years to join such companies. He made it in the first year of his career. That’s is definitely a remarkable achievement. Unquestionably, the credit for this goes to his in-depth knowledge of various disciplines of mechanical engineering and his creativity.

Another reason why I think he is brilliant is that he is an active learner. Normally, when anyone starts working, they don’t pay attention to improving their knowledge or skills. But, this is not the case with Gagan. He is always willing to expand his knowledge and learn new skills. He often reads magazines and attends seminars to keep him up to date with the latest technology. All these things make him different from others. I can’t stop admiring him. He is a role model for me.

IELTS Cue Card: A special cake you made for someone

August 24, 2021 Pooja Ph.D. CELTA

IELTS Cue Card: A special cake you made for someone

You should say:

who you made the cake for

what the occasion was

what type of cake it was

and explain how that person felt on receiving the cake.

Sample Answer

Any special occasion is incomplete without cakes. That’s what I suppose. On last Mother’s day, I thought of giving my mom a little surprise. I planned to bake a delicious cake for her.

Early morning I went to a nearby grocery store to buy all the ingredients I needed to make the cake. I bought flour, cocoa powder, some cookies, chocolate chips and whip cream. I bought a big bar of dark chocolate as well.

My mom happens to be a big fan of dark chocolate. I decided to bake a dark chocolate cake for her. I searched for a recipe online and followed the process step by step. I mixed the flour well with butter and added the cocoa powder according to the measurements described. I melted the dark chocolate bar and added the same to the mixture. The batter smelled great.

Once the batter was ready, I heated the oven and poured the batter into the mould and let it go for baking. Meanwhile, I went to a nearby florist to get some red roses for my mother. Once the cake was ready I decided to decorate it with everything that I had on hands. I used Oreo cookies to build the boundary layer around the cake, accompanied by a fine cream rim. I made a small wafer board with “Happy Mother’s Day” written and put it on the cake.

I took the cake to my mom and she was surprised to see it. I gave her the flowers too. She was delighted beyond words. She happily took the knife and cut the cake and offered me a piece. It was delectable. I wished her a happy Mother’s Day and hugged her. As it was a big cake, she even shared it with her friends. Everybody loved it. I felt great for making her day special.
