open market Cue Card IELTS Band7

Sample Answer:

In this fast-paced world where more and more people are turning to online shopping, open-air markets seem to have lost their popularity. But, I come from a small town in which such markets are still quite popular. Today, I am going to talk about a well-known bazaar that I loved visiting.
It is called Sunday Market. Every weekend local shopkeepers set up their stalls in a huge ground that covers an area of about 4 square kilometers, making it one of the biggest open-air markets in my state, Punjab. This place has a lot to offer to shoppers. The main items sold in the market include traditional seasonal clothes, shoes, utensils, bed sheets, duvets and blankets etc. Some stalls sell fresh fruits, pulses, spices, herbs and vegetables as well.
I visited this market last year. I felt that it was a great place to shop at. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming there. Not only the products were of high quality but their prices were very reasonable too. There was plenty of space for people to walk and shop. This matters a lot in my country because some markets can be overcrowded at times, making it almost impossible to move.
Normally, buyers in open-air markets don’t have the privilege to return any purchased items, but to my surprise, shopkeepers were encouraging people to buy what they wanted and return it later if there was a problem. The best thing about this market was that the facilities such as toilets and car-parking were well-maintained. All in all, this market had everything which customers require. (263 Words)

Cue card: A writer you would like to meet

December 15, 2021 Pooja Ph.D. CELTA

IELTS cue card: A writer you would like to meet

Describe a writer you would like to meet.
You should say
• Who the writer is?
• What you know about this writer already?
• What you would like to find out about him/her?
And explain why you would like to meet this writer.

Sample Answer

Books are man’s best friend. Books enlighten a small mind and help one become a better person. If given a chance to meet my favorite writer, I’d like to meet J.K. Rowling, the author of the famous 7 book series, Harry Potter. My childhood has been full of enchanting and magical stories, thanks to this worthy author. She’s been a role model since my childhood.

I’ve learnt a lot about J.K. Rowling. She first came across the idea of Harry Potter on a delayed train from Manchester to London. She got her manuscript rejected at almost 12 publishing houses before getting it finally published with Bloomsbury. Her first work was titled “Rabbit”. She has stated in several press interviews that the source of inspiration for her writing was her mother.

J. K. Rowling is also awarded as the ‘Most Influential Woman in Britain’. She is a single mother who thought of herself as the biggest failure until later she paved her way to being a multi-millionaire in the short time span of 5 years. Personally, she has a beautiful heart too. She is often witnessed in various charity events. One fascinating thing that I read about her in a blog post was that she actually had to go to a psychiatrist to handle the amount of success she was receiving. I found it hilarious.

I’d like to know her source of inspiration for the idea and theme of the story and characters portrayed in Harry Potter. I’d like to ask her several of her making and breaking moments and what actually kept her motivated even after so many rejections. I’ll ask her whether magic schools really exist and whether she has ever planned to attend one.

I have a list of reasons to meet her. Being an amateur writer myself I look forward to asking her lot of guidelines and hacks to improve my writing. I will also want if she can review some of my own written work and give me her valuable suggestions. Lastly, I’ll make sure that I tell her that I’m one of her biggest fans alive.

Cue Card: A time when you moved to a new school

December 11, 2021 Pooja Ph.D. CELTA

IELTS Cue Card Describe a time when you moved to a new school

Describe a time when you moved to a new school
You should say:
• When it was?
• Where you moved to?
• Why you moved there?
• and explain your feelings about this change.

Sample Answer

Like many other children I too had to change my school when I was young. Today, I’m going to share one such time with you.
My father was an officer in the Indian army. His job involved frequent transfers from one place to another. I was in 7th class and my dad was posted in Dehradun. At that time I was studying in Army Public School, Dehradun. One day he received his transfer order for a city called Jodhpur. It’s a historical city in Rajasthan state of North India.

The children of the majority of army men in India attend central schools which are either run by the army or central government. Whenever government employees are ordered to relocate, their kids move to these schools. The process of changing school for children is normally simple and straightforward. Once you reach a new place, the kids can start their school immediately. For me that was around April in the year 1999.

This was a newly established school. Most of the facilities like swimming pool and playgrounds were still under construction at the time of my arrival. I did take some time to fit into the new environment, but soon enough I felt like I really belonged there. I made some great friends and had a great time overall.

Describe a person who has done a lot to help people. IETLS Cue card. Please find Sample Answer at level IELTS Band9. He is my neighbor Dr. Mehra. Best BAND7 IELTS Dehradun IELTS online simulator IELTS BAND 7 Coaching Classes

Sample Answer

^{(Level Band9)} Today I’m going to talk about a generous person who is well-known for his sincere efforts to help people from all walks of life. He is my neighbor Dr. Mehra, a physician. I have known him since I moved to Dehradun in 2000.

Dr. Mehra is in his 50s and he runs a clinic in the city center. Notably, he is an alumnus of the King George Medical Collge, Lucknow. Apart from treating patients in his clinic, he regularly organizes health camps in remote villages of Uttarakhand. His team distributes free medicines to patients and gives valuable advice to people about how to lead a disease free life.

This is a great help for village dwellers as medical facilities in these places are very poor. He has changed the lives of thousands of villagers in Uttarakhand. His determination to improve the public health in inaccessible regions is praiseworthy.

In fact, he is a role model for me. I met Dr. Mehra in 2000. Since we are neighbors, we know about each other’s work. I often accompany him as a volunteer in his health camps. Of course, if I am ill, he is the first person I call.
