You should say:

and explain what influences it has on people nowadays.

Describe-a-thing-that-has-become-a-matter-of-status-nowadays IELTSBAND7

SAMPLE ANSWER –

Throughout time, the possession of certain items has been linked to achieving a higher status, such as having a car. The ownership of expensive car brands indicates financial superiority and marks an image in the minds of the people in the society. Therefore, in this materialistic world, people of different cultural and financial backgrounds want to have a four-wheeler.

In some countries, the majority of people cannot afford a car, but with the emergence of options like car loans and the availability of second-hand cars, everyone enjoys this privilege. Millennials today believe in giving a ‘good impression’ to others, because of which they urge their elders to invest in fancy and the latest models. Possessing a car has its own convenience and comfort, which also comes with some liabilities like maintenance and environmental concerns.

Of course, my parents do own a car, but I still prefer taking public transport in order to avoid the traffic on the congested roads of my country. Not everyone thinks the same way.

All in all, the utility of a car is replaced by the image and status symbol that it offers. With the booming economy and stagnant car prices, more and more people are getting influenced to purchase a car in the future. However, people consider ownership of an expensive four-vehicle equivalent to a luxury. In addition, in the period of conscious environmentalism and hefty fuel prices, people must be more concerned about the pollution it causes rather than their own image and status.

practical-skills Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

I have learnt a lot of practical skills, such as cooking, driving, working with wood, and working on computers, among 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 far as I’m concerned, is graphic designing. I 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 learnt 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 them. After graduating from high school, I got many chances to work on 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 practising 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 design industry, where this skill is a required basic necessity. This way, I can use my skill to earn a livelihood.

IELTS CUE CARD – Favorite Drink

March 16, 2026 IELTS Research

MY FAVORITE DRINK

Name your favorite drink

Tell me something about the taste

When do you drink it

SAMPLE ANSWER

My favourite drink is Coca-Cola. I drink it whenever I am upset or worried or confused about something. You can say I am almost addicted to it. My fridge is always stuffed with chilled cans of Coca-Cola. It was five years back when I saw an advertisement for it on television. I was very impressed by the message it gave. It said one must always share their happiness. So, when I had a house party, I thought, why not bring in Coca-Cola? It is since then that I have loved its taste, especially the chilled one.

It is easy to tell about the taste of the drink. It has a unique taste, and it feels a little sweet and different. It tastes best when it is chilled and even better when mixed with vanilla ice cream. I cannot describe the feeling and the taste, but you could get a good idea of its quality and taste if you try it yourself.

I drink it whenever I feel a very strong emotion; it could be either happiness or sadness or love or anger. It helps me calm down in moments of distress and brings in the extra joy when I am happy. I don’t mind sharing my can with others unless I also get a bit of share. You can say I go by the ad of Coca-Cola: sharing brings happiness.

In the era of globalization, the internet proves to be the best source of entertainment
as there are various programs available online. The show which I like to watch on
The internet is Shark Tank India. It is an informative program that improves the
knowledge of viewers regarding business and finance. Aspiring entrepreneurs pitch
their business ideas to business professionals who are self-made business people.

motivated me to embrace the businessperson within me. Moreover, I have learned
various practical concepts of marketing which would be difficult for me to learn from
any book. Among all the telecasted episodes, my favourite was Skippy Ice Pop

company in the history of Shark Tank. To conclude, the uniqueness of this show
made it an instant success. In my opinion, it is the best show available on the
