IELTS CUE CARD # DESCRIBE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE. Best IELTS Band7 Coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER-

There are some movies that we watch and forget while some others have an everlasting effect on our lives. I would like to talk about my favorite movie, 3 idiots. It is a Bollywood movie directed and produced by a well-known Indian director, Raj Kumar Hirani. Since it was based on a renowned novel ‘5 Points Someone’ and one of my favorite artist, Aamir Khan is casted in it, I was extremely eager to watch this film.

The film is focused on three college friends from a prestigious institution of India. The plot revolves around the protagonists belonging to different cultural backgrounds who have different goals in life but they end up in an engineering institution. Thus, talking about how Asian parents force the dreams on their children. One of them has a unique approach towards life and is blessed with a super technical mind. On the other hand, his friends were not that brilliant and were not interested in a particular field.

This movie was released in 2009 so it’s been quite a long time but it still remains on the top of my all-time favorite movies. I remember watching it with my friends during my school days. The film is beautifully crafted and has some exciting twists. It gained pretty good recognition among audience worldwide.

This is my favorite movie as it has many messages to deliver on friendship, success and the education system of our nation. The movie highlights a friendship bonding among three college friends. It also teaches about following our passion instead of worrying about grades in order to be accomplished in life. The film also questions the Indian education system where one gets job placement based on grades rather than creative ideas and invention.

IELTS Cue Card : How do old people spend their Leisure time?

April 19, 2025 IELTS Research

How do old people spend their leisure time?

You should say:

Who they spend it with?

How often do they do it?

How do they like it?

Sample Answer

The way people spend their leisure time changes dramatically as they age. Old people mostly spend their time watching television or listening to the radio. I remember my grandfather wasn’t much interested in watching TV but he was big on the news. He used to listen to the news every night religiously, and then he would have a sort of round-table discussion over the current issues with his friends.

Another way old people get together is when they meet for a walk. They never miss a chance to catch up with their buddies while they get themselves some fresh air in the park every day. They would, actually, talk more but walk less. But it’s good. Old people need someone to talk to otherwise they feel very lonely and left out.

The third most common way of spending time for old people is to have fun with their grandchildren. In joint families, it’s mostly the grandparents who spend their time with the little children while their parents are busy at work. It is thought that since they were too busy while raising their own kids, old people now can sort of compensate it and enjoy their time frolicking with the toddlers.

IELTS Cue Card – Describe a person you know who likes to talk a lot

April 15, 2025 IELTS Research

Describe a person you know who likes to talk a lot.

You should say:

Who this person is?

How do you know him/her?

What he/she likes to talk about?

And explain how you feel about this person.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Some people can talk endlessly for many hours, and surprisingly, they never feel bored. On the other side, I am the type of individual who would prefer solace and speaking the bare minimum. At my workplace, I’m surrounded by many talkative individuals. Ritu happens to be one of them. She is my lovely colleague who has a pleasing personality. She is tall with dusky complexion and possesses a beautiful smile.

Ritu is an absolute talker, so having her around will keep anyone entertained. She is not limited to any one subject to discourse on; rather, she is self-sufficient. Ritu has a lot of talents, but her sense of humour makes her the ultimate performer. She does stand-up comedy and completely nails it during our holiday meetings and business get-togethers. She can, however, occasionally become a bit annoying and challenging to manage. Ritu once received a severe reprimand from our manager for talking nonstop about the product at a meeting.

I believe she was making every effort to impress the clients but she was unable to control her tendency to talk excessively. The client found too much information confusing and didn’t show much interest in our services. Fortunately, the deal was saved by one of our brilliant negotiators. I believe, she has a kind heart, but sometimes her overly chatty personality gets her into problems.

STRONG WORDS

WORDS	MEANING	Sentence
Reprimand	To tell someone officially that he/she has done something wrong	The boss reprimanded his employees for being careless towards their work.
Nailed it	To skilfully/creatively complete a task	It was her first time performing in public, and I guess she nailed it.

Part 3 follow-up questions

Q1. What communication skills are important?
I believe verbal communication and the skill of confidently stating one’s opinion are very essential. Moreover, I would like to add the importance of being a good listener for having smooth communication in conversation.

Q2. What jobs need employees to be talkative?
Jobs related to sales and marketing require employees to be expressive and have the ability to convince people. Additionally, people working at radio stations, especially radio jockeys, are expected to be entertaining by cracking jokes and talking a lot.

Q3. Should children be encouraged to talk more?
Well, children should definitely learn to present themselves without being scared, and learning communication skills will definitely help them in the long run. What needs to be closely checked is knowing what to say and where to say it. Being a good communicator requires a person to know how much to say and how to convey their opinion without being rude or disrespectful.

IELTS Cue Card – Describe a sportsperson you like or admire

April 9, 2025 IELTS Research

Describe a sportsperson you like or admire.

You should say:

who this sportsperson is?

⁠what sports he or she plays?

and how successful he or she is?

explain why you like or admire him/her.

SAMPLE ANSWER

I am a medical student, I usually don’t get free time to watch sports channels or matches in my day-to-day life. However, the recent Olympic games in France in 2024 has made me develop an interest in sports. I watched all the sports’ highlights on my Jio TV at the end of the day.

One evening I was watching the highlights and I came across the men’s pole vault competition. It was a very new game for me. I hadn’t seen that earlier. In this game, the player has to run with a long pole and jump over a high bar with the aid of the pole. The match that I saw was a record-breaking one. In this tournament, a young player contested. He was from Sweden. His name is Armand Duplantis and he won his second consecutive Olympic gold medal, setting a world record of 6.25 meters (20 ft 6 inches). While watching this match, I felt that it was a game of concentration. In the first two attempts, Armand was quite anxious and he could not perform well.

However, his last attempt was quite different. He calmed himself and gave an excellent performance that broke all the previous world records. Another thing in this match that I noticed was that right after making the record, he ran to his family. This shows that he is a family-oriented person. Since then, he has become my favorite sportsperson because I really admired his focus and passion for the sport and his love for the family. He has achieved great success at a very young age and I aspire to do the same.

FOLLOW UPS

Q.1 What type of sports is most popular in your country?

Cricket is one of the most popular sports in India. This was probably even more evident when India won the World Cup and there was a road show of all the famous cricketers in Mumbai. That was a once in a lifetime event. The roads were jam packed with fans dancing and enjoying all over the roads. Apart from cricket, other sports like kabaddi, wrestling, boxing et cetera are very popular in India.

Q.2 What are the benefits of playing a sport?

There are immense benefits of playing sports. Physically, playing sports improves our health and fitness levels. It also relaxes our mind and contributes to overall well-being. I have always observed that sportspersons are always fit and they remain young for years. We all must take inspiration from such Sportspersons and follow a healthy lifestyle. One must definitely practice their favourite sports to maintain their physical fitness.

Q.3 Do you often play a sport? Why/why not?

I used to play regularly when I was in school, and I’ve won multiple medals in sports. Now, I practice yoga daily in the morning, which keeps me fresh throughout the day. Moreover, I always try to take out some time in the evening and play badminton with my brother. It keeps me more active, and I take a sound sleep after that.
