Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste.

You should say:

When did you see it?

How you felt after seeing it?

Sample Answer

Plastic waste has become is a pressing global problem. I explicitly remember a time when I saw a lot of plastic waste.

Last year, my friends and I planned a trip to Goa, a place famous for its exquisite beaches and mesmerising sunsets. We had a lot of fun there and explored some interesting places. We went to one of the famous beaches in Goa. It was truly amazing and had beautiful spots.

We were completely lost in admiring the beauty of that place until we noticed a heap of plastic garbage near the beach. Undoubtedly, it was a blot on the beauty of that place. The worst part was that animals nearby were consuming the waste, which was very harmful for their health.

All of us were quite upset with what we saw. We decided to give that place a new look and make our trip memorable. Certainly, it was not a piece of cake, but we couldn’t just leave that mess behind. We were filled with firm determination to clean it, so we divided ourselves into two groups, which had different tasks. One group collected the waste and packed it in bags, while the other cleaned.

Watching us, other tourists joined us, and it became a big hit. We were able to clean the place within few hours. It was not less than a victory for each of us. The locals appreciated our efforts and apologised for the negligence they showed towards that place. They even assured us that from now on they would definitely take care of that place and would be vigilant about it.

Speaking -Part 3 (Follow up questions)

Here are some examples of follow-up questions that examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to the cue card ‘Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste’.

Q1. Why do people often like to use plastic?

I reckon, the ultimate reason why people use plastic is that it is durable. Depending upon the composition, most plastic items take years to decompose. Another reason why people prefer plastic is because it is cheaper than other options available, for example, jute or paper bags.

Q2. How can we reduce the use of plastic?

There are many things that can be done to reduce plastic consumption. For instance, we can opt for eco-friendly options like Jute bags in place of plastic bags. Apart from this, instead of using plastic containers or bottles, we can switch to steel or aluminium products.

IELTS Cue Card: Describe a television programme that you watch

June 13, 2025 IELTS Research

Describe a television programme that you watch.

You should say:

What kind of television programme it is?

What usually happens in the television programme?

Why you enjoy watching the television programme?

And explain why you would recommend the television programme to the other people.

Sample Answer:

I don’t watch TV so often but whenever I find a chance I always try and watch a show called “Kings of Restoration”. It is featured on the History Channel. It is a great show for anyone who has an interest in art and creativity.

The show starts with the announcement of the product received recently for restoration. Rick Dale, the owner and the host along with his team explores the product and tells about its current condition and what ideas they have for fixing it. They get a variety of products from old broken vending machines to automobiles. The whole team works hands in hands to get the original raw parts and prepare the required designs. The show telecasts the way they work on each of the old part.

I love watching this show for a number of reasons. I used to team up with my dad as a child and watch the whole series with uttermost fascination. So, this show holds memories with my dad. As both of us have a deep profound interest in machines and tools, we would often talk over our own suggestions and ideas while watching it.

This TV programme has also helped me come up with a lot of creative solutions for my old goods and helped me restore many items that weren’t in use. The best part about the show is always the ending scene when they finally give away the restored product to the owner. It leaves everyone of us including the customer enthralled and amazed. I recommend this show to everyone because it’s a perfect Sunday afternoon show for both the young and old. It not only entertains the viewers but also provides a lot of knowledge at the same time.

IELTS SPEAKING TASK CUE CARD : DESCRIBE A PERSON WHO HAS INTERESTING OPINIONS. Best IELTS Coaching in dehradun

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 CUE CARD # Describe your favorite movie.

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.
