IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

A competition you would like to take part in.

• What is the competition for?
• When and where does it take place?
• Why do you want to take part in it?

Sample Answer

Life is full of competitions and challenges. At each step in our life, we face a new kind of contests, which teach us a lot. I have taken part in a lot of them as well. I have performed well in some of them while being average in others. Competitions such as debates, painting meets, athletic championships have surely piqued my interest since childhood, but writing competitions are something I am very fond of, and always ready to participate in.

One such writing event also takes place during a bi-annual literature festival held in our city. It is a very grand affair, with people from all over the city and nearby towns in attendance. Many established writers also take part in it, making it harder. I want to partake in this competition as it will be a tough challenge, and a rewarding experience in terms of learning as well as the prize.

The event is judged by a panel consisting of esteemed novel and fiction writers from all over the country. It is about writing a story based on a topic that is of a certain social importance, such as any current issue or propaganda. The factors that are judged include vocabulary, grammar, flow, direction, and how well the story can move or touch human emotions.

I really believe that I can pen down such a piece of fiction that could touch the hearts of the reader and form an emotional connection with them as well. Since writing is my passion, I really want to join this contest and reach new levels of understanding with such an affair.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Something that helps you concentrate on work

• What is it?
• Why do you use it?
• How does it help you concentrate?

Sample Answer

Life in the modern era has become very busy and people often find it difficult to focus and keep up with their responsibilities. In such times, concentration has become a highly important factor for success. Sometimes in life, I also find it very difficult to concentrate on my work and studies. Thankfully, there are activities like memory games, walking, or reading that we can do to rebuild our focus on our daily tasks. People have different ways to do so, and I find music to be the most effective way to concentrate on my tasks.

Music offers a melodious continuity that can help the mind to be relaxed and channelize the thoughts to be focused on the task at hand. I listen to instrumental music tracks that are devoid of lyrics. The beats steer me away from other noises and keep the distractions at bay. I feel calm, relaxed and energized to do whatever work I am supposed to. It occupies my mind and does not let my thoughts wander away while I study or work. I find it beneficial as it helps me maximize my productivity by increasing the speed with which I work and eliminating the need for frequent breaks in between.

Music has proven to be very beneficial for me in a lot of ways. It has helped me by clearing mental stress. It has a rejuvenating and soothing effect that keeps me energetic and positive throughout my day. I have come to believe through experience that music is the best way for me to build and maintain my concentration.

Sample Answer

The Internet is a marvelous result of modern technological advancements. It is a powerful tool that has made human lives easier in many ways. I use the internet as well, and there are various sites that I frequently visit. One of these is Quora.com. It is a social forum based on a knowledge sharing platform.

Also termed as a database of intellectuals, this forum is a place for asking and answering questions. People from all over the world come and discuss a variety of topics and get knowledge from experts on different things. One can also get to discover other people’s views on a certain agenda or an idea through this website.

I use Quora and browse through it several times a day. It has a feed that gets constantly updated with new questions that I like reading through to update my knowledge. I also ask questions that I want answers for. These queries can be about an abstract thought or something relating to a school or college project.

Quora is a highly advantageous webpage that has benefited me a lot in the past few years. It is a sort of a database that I can turn to, for clearing my doubts. A place where I can learn new things in a fun and interactive manner. It has helped me grow intellectually apart from helping me develop new skill sets.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

A quiet place where you like to spend time.

• Which place is it?
• How do you spend time there?
• Why do you like spending time in that place?

Sample Answer

It is important to spend time in quiet places in the fast-paced life of today. There are a few quiet places around us that we can visit for a few relaxing moments of peace. I would like to talk about a place where I go quite often and I find great comfort in the silence the spot has to offer.

The place I am referring to is a hill next to a shallow stream near my locality. I live in Dehradun which has many such places but they are populated by tourists. This place that I visit is not a tourist attraction and is also not connected to any main roads. In all my time going there I have never seen much people except for the occasional villager passing through. I go there every weekend to enjoy the serenity of the stream, the grassy land, and the hills that tower in front of it. I go there as I like to be surrounded by nature and I can do that there without any unwanted noises.

As soon as I reach this place, I am wrapped in a blanket of calmness and it helps me rejuvenate. I go there because I like writing and the area somehow enhances my creativity to the point where thoughts flow freely and clearly in my mind. I really like going to this location with my writing pad all alone, and write whatever I feel like for hours on end. The time spent there is quality time as I am disturbed by no one, and there is no noise to interrupt my mind.
