look after your house and pet while you are on holiday.

Sample Answer:

Dear Emily,

I hope life is treating you well! I was relieved on your response that you will be taking great care of my dog, Bruno as well as my house while I will be away from my home town. In case there was no prior bookings done for my vacation to Maldives. I would not have bothered you as it is a much-needed break for me.
I will be sharing the contact details of my neighbor Mrs. Annie; she resides just next to my abode. She would be available round the clock in case you need some assistance. Her number is 02066543 but she can only be contacted over a landline. Hope this will not be much of a problem for you.
Though taking care of Bruno is a tedious task, one has to be on knees all day round, as he is very mischievous. You know him quite well; he has grown when he was a pup in front of you. He was the bestest birthday gift from you, indeed! You need to take him on walk twice a day. In addition to this, you have to prepare his meals in his bowl which I have placed in the kitchen area near the cutlery shelf.
Would you mind me asking for some more help, as I would not be around, my garden area would need some watering during the evening hours, no specific time. Could be done whenever you have free time at hand. Have placed the main keys beside the garden area under the vibrant red carpet. Will be back home within a week. No need to worry as I have a duplicate set of keys making it possible for me to get in when I reach home. You please feel at home and make yourself comfortable.
Eagerly waiting for you to visit!
Lots of love,
Emma.

The line graph below shows the production of paper, wood pulp and sawn wood in the UK from 1980 to 2000.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting main features and make comparisons where relevant.

Line graph production of paper, wood pulp and sawn wood in the UK

Sample Answer:

The linear representation provides information about the production of three forest materials, namely, paper & packaging, wood pulp and sawn wood in the UK for 21 years, between 1980 and 2000. The data is measured in million tonnes.
Overall, what stands out from the graph is that the production of paper & packaging witnessed an increase, whilst it declined in the case of wood pulp and sawn wood in 2000 compared to the initial years’ figure.
Looking at the details, the production of paper & packaging was the highest of all three materials in 1980 and accounted for approximately 235 million tonnes. Later, the figure rose modestly till 1990 to exactly 250 million tonnes, then skyrocketed to 300 million tonnes in 2000.
By contrast, a significant difference of around 30 million tonnes can be observed in the production between wood pulp and sawn wood whose individual production stood at nearly 170 and 200 million tonnes respectively. Surprisingly, in 1990, the production of both materials was identical, meanwhile in 2000, wood pulp outraced sawn wood in terms of production.

IELTS Cue Card #An interesting dish you like

December 5, 2024 Bhumika

IELTS Cue Card #An interesting dish you like

An interesting dish you like

What it is

Where you ate it

How it is made

Why you liked it

An interesting dish you like

Sample Answer:

In today’s world internet has made it easier for people to try different cuisines of the world. I have a passion for cooking and in fact internet has also helped me to learn about different recipes from around the globe. Cooking is my favourite leisure activity and I do it whenever I feel down as it helps me boost, my creativity as well as helps me satiate my cravings. Today I would like to discuss about one interesting Dish that I really like. The dish is Som Tam. It is a Thai cuisine salad. I first ate it an Asian restaurant in my city “Kylin”. I really loved the flavour of this salad so last Sunday, I also tried making it at home. I was really surprised that it turned out to be as authentic and tasty as I experienced it in the restaurant. It is super healthy as it is made of raw papaya and that is the only made ingredient which is used. Because of one ingredient it gets effortlessly easy to prepare. I just added some crushed chilies, garlic and peanuts. The dressing is really easy to prepare as one has to just add few sauces and the mouthwatering flavour is ready. Everyone in my house like it and praised my cooking skills. Now I make it almost every other day and have it during snack time. It has helped me to do healthy snacking. Moreover, it’s really beneficial for our gut health. Som Tam has proved to be particularly healthy for me as it is good for women’s health, specially in curing PCOD/ PCOS. Therefore, I suggest it to every woman around me who is suffering from any such disorders.

FOLLOW UP Questions:

Q1: Should advertisements for unhealthy food be banned? Why or why not?

Answer: Definitely, advertisements for unhealthy food must be banned as they are harming the masses on a large scale. People today are inclined towards consuming such unhealthy foods because they are advertised widely with the false narrative.

Q2: Do you think films and TV-series should promote healthy eating?

Answer: Nowadays youth is influenced by celebrities and they in fact follow them religiously. People try to imitate their favourite celebrities’ lifestyle as well as their food habits so that they can look as beautiful and flawless like the celebrities. TV series and films are the best way of promoting healthy habits.

IELTS GT Writing Task1

Sample Answer
Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the services I received at your restaurant.
I visited the restaurant on June 29th, 2024, with my family to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Based on recommendations from relatives and colleagues, I had high expectations, but unfortunately, our meal and the service did not meet those expectations.
We arrived at the restaurant around half past seven and had to wait an hour to be seated. Then, when we tried to place the order, the waiters were not very attentive and it took ages to place the order. We ordered Chinese food and it was served cold. The soup lacked freshness, and the prawns were undercooked. Our main course, mushroom fried rice with vegetables, was mistakenly served as fried rice with eggs. Moreover, resolving this issue took over 40 minutes, which was frustrating. When we tried to address these concerns with the head waiter, he was unresponsive and dismissive.
I hope you will take this feedback seriously and work on improving the quality of your meals and the professionalism of your staff. Addressing these issues will help ensure a better experience for future customers.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Mary Woods
