IELTS Cue Card # A SEASON YOU ENJOY

October 26, 2021 IELTS Research Leave a comment

IELTS Cue Card # A SEASON YOU ENJOY

Talk about a season that you enjoy.

What season is it?

What is the weather like?

What kind of activities you do in this season?

And explain why do you like this season the most.

Sample Answer:

India is a diverse country having four distinct seasons, namely spring, summer, autumn and winter. While the southern and western India experiences moderate summers and winters, the northern regions witness the extremes. As I belong to Chandigarh, a city in the north India, most of the people including me love the winter season. This is because summers are long and sweltering while winters bring the much awaited respite from the blazing sun.
The winters begin by the end of October and last till the end of February. The weather is usually bright and sunny with few foggy days intermittently. I really enjoy basking in the sun with my friends and sipping a cup of hot coffee. During weekends, we plan to go window shopping in the seventeen sector market plaza followed by hot meals at one of our favorite joints. Also, we plan at least one trip to Shimla, a nearby hill station in the month of December , when there are chances of a snowfall. It’s still my idea of a perfect holiday with friends as there is a bit of everything to do like trekking, shopping, sightseeing , sledging and clicking loads of pictures.
Winters also bring in a lot of healthy fruits and green vegetables. This is the perfect time to try out different recipes which are colorful and full of nutrients. We do get some grandma style goodies too like peanut and jaggery sweet bars, which I absolutely love eating every now and then. What’s more, winters offer us to dress ourselves in some stylish overcoats, cardigans, caps and boots. All this and more make winter season, the most awaited season for me.

FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS

Q1. What are the seasons that you have in your country but other countries do not?
Ans. That’s a difficult question actually and I need to have a sound knowledge of other countries to answer it. Still, with whatever idea I have, I can say that India is much more diverse as there are 4 distinct seasons here unlike many foreign nations. For instance, while the gulf countries witness extreme Summers, the nations in north America and Europe have long and extreme winters.

Q2. Is there a seasonal festival in your country?
Ans. Yes, we do have many festivals to celebrate seasons. Harvest festivals are also seasonal festivals , celebrating both bounty and the change of seasons. Baisakhi is a festival of spring harvest in April celebrated by both Hindus and Sikhs. Then, Basant Panchmi is celebrated to welcome spring in the month of February. People dress in yellow to mark flowering of mustard fields. Also, Pongal is a harvest festival dedicated to the Sun God. It is celebrated in January in the south of India.

IELTS Cue Card # A good law in your country

October 25, 2021 IELTS Research Leave a comment

IELTS Speaking Task # Cue Card

Describe a good law in your country.

What it is?

How you know about it?

What people think about this law?

And explain why you think it is a good law.

A GOOD LAW IN YOUR COUNTRY. Best IELTS Band7 Coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Domestic violence is a severe economic and social problem not only for the women but the society on a whole. Coming from a patriarchal society, a majority of women are physically, sexually and emotionally abused by their spouses or in-laws. Today, I would like to talk about a good law which was introduced and passed by the parliament in 2005.

According to this act, any person who has been, or is in a domestic relationship with an abuser can file a complaint against him/her. It’s not necessary for the victim to be in a marriage relationship in order to file a complaint, as being abused in a shared household also comes under Domestic Violence. I got to know about this law in school, while studying Civics. I also implemented it in my real life when a cook working at my house told me about the kind of abuses she was facing at her in-law’s place.

I think most of the people think that it is a vital law which is mandatory for our country. Women of our nation will start taking their stand gradually and get out of men’s control in this male-dominated society. As domestic violence takes place not only in financially weaker families but also in economically stable families, therefore, this law is good for society as a whole.

In my opinion, this law will have a positive impact on our society. Abuses like physical abuse, sexual abuse, verbal or emotional abuse and economic abuse fall under the category of this Act.
The procedure of relief for the women that are included in the Act is residence order, monetary relief, custody orders and compensation orders as well. The court also ensures to provide the victim with safe shelter, medical and legal aid.

IELTS CUE CARD # TV SERIES. Best IELTS Band7 coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER

I have watched many television series. As a kid, I liked Dragon Ball z, Pokemon, Lizzie Mcguire and others. Growing up I fell in love with Suits, Friends, Sherlock Holmes, How I met your mother and others.

Today, I’m going to speak about one TV series that is still close to my heart. Its name is Sherlock Holmes. It is the story of a detective, Sherlock Holmes, who along with Dr Watson, his friend, solves crime mysteries.

Many renowned TV actors have acted in this series. But, I loved the pairing of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Sherlock and Watson. It’s is perfect. Their co-ordination and dedication to the mission are commendable.

In every episode of Sherlock Holmes, one can find a new case that comes in front of Watson and Sherlock and then for the next one and half hours one gets glued to the screen in amazement. The complications of the plot, the suspense and the way the crime unfolds, all capture my interest.

Coming to how I feel about this series, it’s is a great program. I find it very entertaining and informative. It gives me a deep insight into the lives of detectives and the risks involved in this profession. At the same time, it informs me about the intricacies of crime cases and the efforts required to solve them.
