IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Something interesting a friend has done that you would like to do yourself.

• What did your friend do?
• Why do you wish to do it?
• What are your plans on doing such an interesting thing?

Sample Answer

I have a lot of friends that are into different fields of career. We sit together every now and then to share our experiences of our lives and the things we do. Every other time or so, someone or the other has an exciting story to share about something interesting that they did. I love listening to such experiences and stories that they share. This is because I get to know about and learn a lot of new things.

In addition, I also get new ideas for a hobby, a vacation, or any other new thing to try out during my leisure time. I have a friend who recently came back from a trip to a hill station in the Himalayan Mountains. His trip was very exciting and adventurous, and even while listening to his story, I started to plan my own trip to the place. He stayed there and enjoyed many adventure sports such as rock climbing, river rafting, trekking in the woods, but the main and probably the most enjoyable activity was paragliding.

I have seen paragliding in many movies, and I really wish to do it and experience the feeling of flying in the sky like a bird. Even though I have not done it, but I still know that it must be a very mesmerizing experience. Flying high in the sky, and looking down upon the land beneath brings a cherished feeling of ecstasy to every enthusiast. I have decided to plan my next vacation during the upcoming winters, and I will go to the hill station and get a hands-on experience of paragliding.

Speaking Part 2

Tell about an important decision you made with the help of another person.

• What the decision was?
• Who helped you?
• What the result of the decision was?

Sample Answer

A lot of conflict takes place inside our brains while making a decision. When we start suffering from the choice overload, we tend to avoid the efforts of making a correct decision. Hence, we start seeking suggestions from others.

Recently, I found myself standing on the crossroads and was unable to decide where to go. In that situation, I decided not to bear the burden of the crossroad questions alone. Therefore, in order to reduce that cognitive dissonance, I approached my father for his help.

I was working in a renowned Multinational Company as a manager. Although, I was drawing a handsome salary there, I was not feeling happy and contented as I always wanted to be a businessman. At that point in my career, leaving a stable job just to fulfill my dream seemed quite risky. I discussed my plan with my father and asked for his advice. I told him that I wanted to come back to my hometown for doing business. He motivated me and said that we get only one life to live our dreams. Moreover, he not only shown his belief in my entrepreneurial skills but also supported me financially to establish my own enterprise.

By the grace of God and my father’s blessings, I am running my business successfully. What is more, I am able to provide employment to hundreds of people. That one decision has changed my life completely and the credit goes to my father. It not only helped me to fulfill my individual responsibilities but social responsibilities as well.

IELTS Speaking Task 2 Cue Card: someone gave you something you really wanted.

Tell about a time someone gave you something you really wanted.

• When it was?
• What it was?
• How did you feel?

Sample Answer

A lot of things happen to us on a daily basis. Some of the incidents we forget and the others become memories for a lifetime. A few days ago, due to a meeting, I had to stay back in the office after office hours. While going back to home, I noticed that my car was in a reserve mode owning to insufficient petrol. Since, I had gotten late, I did not stop at the petrol pump to get the fuel filled in my car. Moreover, I had withdrawn myself from the possible consequences of that negligence.

After reaching a few kilometres away from my office, the car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. As it was already 10 at night, the roads were empty and desolate. Hence, no assistance was available nearby. On the top of that, I forgot my mobile in the office.  I was unable to ask my family and friends for any help. I was perplexed and totally blank in that awful situation. However, I was still waiting for a miracle to happen. I was standing on the road and looking left and right with a hope in my heart. Fortunately, I saw a biker coming towards me, whom I stopped and inquired about a fuel station close by. I came to know that it was a few kilometres ahead from there.

As I could not leave my car there, I decided to push the car until I find it. After an ordeal for almost an hour, I finally reached there and found it closed. I felt so disappointed and frustrated. While I was standing there, completely tired and hopeless, a person emerged out of the air. When he asked about my problem, I briefed him the whole incident. Without giving a second thought he called up his friend and asked him to bring some petrol for me.After a while his friend brought the petrol in a plastic bottle.Moreover, he denied for any payment in return. We exchanged our numbers and that angel has later become my best friend.
