Who does not loves restaurant? Well, I would agree that nothing can compare to the food we eat at home and going to restaurants regularly is not only difficult in our pockets but also not the best choice for our health. But, occasionally, going to those fancy restaurants and eating the fancy food, getting served, it is all so beautiful. But, what if, what if you are not served well. Imagine going to a restaurant and waiting for long minutes before you get water and then hours before you get your order. Or for that matter, getting stale food or cold food! The worst of all are the managers who do not try to rectify their mistakes or the service people who behave rudely. This time in our cue card we are talking about the time when instead of bad, you received a really good service.

Describe a time when you received a good service. You should say –

• What was the service?
• When and where did you receive the service?
• Whom were you together with?

also, explain why did you like it?

SAMPLE ANSWER

Buying clothes for me has been the toughest thing to do. Not because it is something that bores me but growing up in an environment where I got them from others, I never knew how to buy clothes for myself. The first time I came to a new place for my job, I had to buy clothes and that to all alone. That was a terrible thing to do and when I went to the shopping mall, I felt irritation. The people around came asking if there is something they can help me with, giving me options and I would just go and check them.

I scrolled through the entire mall for about 2 hours checking clothes there and finally picking a set of clothes. Only to realize after a few minutes, that I wanted something else. The cashier there was very kind to me. He asked me to buy those clothes and get them changed the next day if I wished to. And I did exactly the same. The next day I went to the shop asking for a change.

This time, the cashier and his team helped me find the right clothes for me. They were very patient and understood that it is indeed the first time I am buying clothes and it is freaking me out. After hours of trying, I came back finally to the first set of clothes that I bought for myself and fell in love with the shop. The people there were more patient with me than most others. They waited patiently even giving me suggestions on what looks good to me and what does not. While leaving one of them said, “It probably was your first time and therefore was tough. But, keep doing things that you find scary or have never done before.”

That advice has been with me for a life.

SAMPLE ANSWER

The only thing that makes me visit a place again is the service of it and that is true for almost everyone. A few weeks ago along with my mother, I visited a local market in Pipli, a place near Bhubaneswar. The town is one of the most celebrated places in Orissa as people there sell handmade products. Most houses there have shops inside of their homes and earn a livelihood from selling their items.

We reached the place at around 5 and after roaming about and buying different things landed ourselves into a very small shop. But, what looked like to us like just a small shop turned out to the best experience we had in Pipli. The man had a house from where he sold his products. He asked us to move with him and on doing so, we found their entire family telling us all about their articles.

The entire process of buying was no longer about what looked best, but what actually was best. They all told us about how they made it, the colors they used and what time it took. The history of handmade products in Orissa and how it is exported to the entire country. The ways in which they make their lives and the difficulties.

I loved shopping at Pipli because when buying it was not about what I was buying but more about why I was doing it.

IELTS cue card: A TV documentary you watched

Describe a TV documentary you watched that was particularly interesting.
You should say
• What the documentary was about?
• Why you decided to watch it?
• What you learnt during the documentary?
And explain why the TV documentary was particularly interesting.

Sample Answer

I recently watched an amazing documentary that left a lasting impression on my mind. It’s called Kurt Cobain – Montage of Heck.
It is based on the real life story of the legendary musician and the lead guitarist of the band, Nirvana. The documentary is well-versed and depicts various aspects of his life. It describes his struggle against depression and drug addiction. It is heartbreaking to see his downfall which eventually led to his death at the age of 27. The documentary was released 2 decades after his suicide.
Kurt Cobain is one of my favorite musicians. I came across the documentary while reading an article that was published about him. The reviews were quite applauding and thoughtful. The critics praised the movie to their heart’s content. I was really impressed. So, I decided to watch it.
The documentary is an inspiration for the entire young generation today. It depicts the journey of a young talented musician who becomes addicted to drugs and eventually ends his life. The movie shows the struggle of an individual suffering from mental illness and his fight to overcome the trauma. Apart from this several personal audio recording and juvenilia are also added in the movie.
The documentary doesn’t only describe the man as a rock and roll saga and typical doomed artist but also gives an insight into his artistic expressions and his infamous relationship with his wife, Courtney Love. It taught me that the choice to be successful or unsuccessful lies only and only in my hands and as an individual one has to learn to differentiate as to what is preferable or not preferable for them as they grow up. Overall, it was an overwhelming documentary. I will surely recommend it to everyone.

IELTS Speaking task cue card

Describe a person who has interesting opinions.

• Who this person is?
• How do you know this person?
• What interesting idea he/she gave?
• Explain why it was important.

SAMPLE ANSWER
We all are, at some point, in our lives effected by the opinions of others. It eventually broadens our viewpoint and thinking process. The topic reminds me of our school’s Psychology teacher whose influential opinions affected me the most. Her name was Ma’am Pooja and she was quite admired among her students mainly due to her optimistic attitude towards life and the way in which she gave her personal suggestions and recommendations while teaching, making the students comfortable in any situation. Her cheerful nature was absolutely remarkable.

As I told earlier, Ma’am Pooja was my Psychology teacher at school but she was also one of my closest friend’s mother. With time, I started discussing my confidential matters with her. She taught me to keep a positive view towards life and with her help and guidance I was able to improve my confidence substantially.

This all started when once I went to visit my friend and I had a low spirit that day regarding my choice of career. My parents wanted me to pursue my profession in Chartered Accountancy, while I was interested in Photography. She guided me to speak to my parents about my passion in this field and gave me a brilliant idea of taking them to an International Photography Event that was being conducted in my city. This helped me change their perspective towards this profession. Since that day, I constantly take Ma’am’s advice related to many things without hesitation. I’m extremely grateful to her guidance because of which today I’m a widely known Photographer of my country. Had I not followed her advice, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have so far.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Describe any practical skill you have.

• What is the skill?
• How often do you use it?
• Who taught it to you?
• Explain how it helps you in your life.

Sample Answer

I have learned a lot of practical skills such as cooking, driving, working with wood, and working on computer amongst others. I was able to learn them from different places such as my school, my home, workshops and vocational classes. The most illustrious one as per me is graphic designing. I have always had a passion for drawing and art in my childhood. My father bought me a computer when I was in eighth grade, and I started using computer applications to design and draw things on the computer.

It started with painting on Microsoft Paint and later on, I learned other applications and designing possibilities with even more advanced software such as AUTOCAD and Photoshop. As time passed, I grabbed every opportunity to learn about designing and attended diploma courses to become adept at designing. After graduating from high school, I got many chances to work upon cards, posters, banners, and logos for the people I personally knew, and I earned my expenses through these.

I have gained and mastered the skill by practicing a lot. I have read different books on designing and its concepts and spent hours designing classes to hone my abilities. I took every work or freelancing opportunity that I could get and started earning money by putting this skill to good use.

Even though I have a long way to go, I am glad to have this skill, as I plan to build my career in the designing industry where this skill is a required basic necessity. This way, I can use my skill to earn a livelihood.
