IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Important Email

We are living in this digital world with almost everyone having an email account. We all are connected with our family, friends and the people we either work for or in some way are connected. In today’s era, almost every information comes on mail and there are certain things which are really important for us. So, for example, it could be the first job letter, your winning game article or for that matter anything. Let us today have a look at a cue card that talks about an important email that a person got.

Describe an important email you have received.
You should say:

  • who sent it to you.
  • when you got it.
  • what was it about

and explain why this email was important to you.

Sample Answer One

There are so many websites that I subscribed to and there are so many emails that I get every day but I remember, having to receive a mail about my selection for the Gartner.Inc. It was truly an amazing feeling because it meant I would be able to work with the best company providing BI services and it also meant I had proved my mark.

I can clearly recall, I was sitting on my couch with my laptop in hand and working over a new assignment that I had got and meanwhile, something just struck me. I went to my mail and started scrolling the mails. The mail that I got was of the previous day and it said that I need to sign some documents and then some other formalities before I could go and start my work at Gartner.

The reason it was very important for me because I had truly worked for it, sacrificing a lot of things that people of my age were doing. There were times when I felt exhausted and the other times when I just did not have anyone to talk to. On receiving the mail, I first called my parents and they were proud and I was happy. Finally, I could work on something that was creative.

Sample Answer Two

I am a travel blogger and just like any other job, initially, it is tough!  There are days, months when one is just giving his or her best and working on the blog, putting content and yet does not receives any money. I remember, when I started my own travel blog, it took me around six months before I started getting some decent amount of money. It was only with that money that I could make some other plans as well.

It was some time back and I was sitting on my couch, completely exhausted over a particular post trying to figure out something and worried about paying my bills. The landlord had come to my house sometime back asking for the rent and I had nothing to give. For the first time in years, I had really questioned my job and my decision to become an entrepreneur.

Lost in my thoughts, I opened my mail account and there was this mail from Google. Initially, I thought, it must be some random mail but later on when I started reading it, it was the mail regarding the number of viewers on my site and Google has decided to finally pay me for the services that I was doing and it was a check of 70000 rupees.

In a time when I did not have money, when I could not even think of surviving, when I had started questioning my dreams and my decisions, the mail was an assurance that I was on the right path and that I am meant to be successful and that the only thing that I need to take care of is my work.|

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Special Thing

There are so many things that we want in our lives, but no matter how rich you are, there are certain things that are so special that we wait for the right time, the right amount of money, we make sacrifices in other things, and save for that one big thing, the one thing that is really special for us. Let us today have a look at the cue card sample question related to it.

Describe something special that you saved money to buy.

You should say:

  • what was it
  • why you bought is
  • how long you saved money to buy it

and explain why it was important to you to buy it.

SAMPLE ANSWER 1

I remember buying my first laptop after months of saving. At that time, there were two kinds of job that I was doing, one was as a freelance writer and the other was of a Software Engineer. Although I could have bought a 30000 laptop from the earning of a month when the day came closer of actually buying the laptop, I for a second thought about it again and for some reasons decided not to buy a normal personal computer and decided to buy a Macintosh.

There was no definite reason for buying it. It is just that while I was about to buy my first laptop, something just came back to me. Some years ago while having a conversation with my uncle, I told him it is a laptop which is very important for me. I would buy myself a Macintosh as the first laptop.

The Macintosh that I fell in love with was MacBook Air. You could just go on doing your work in it forever. And then there is so much attachment with the machine because of his founder, Steve Jobs. I mean every time you work on a Macintosh it feels like you are doing great work and you are being unique.

I remember having saved for three months before I could buy a Macintosh and it took me many sleepless nights before it was mine and trust me the day it was mine, it was amazing, beautiful. Its features were so amazing that it has been six years since I first bought my first Macintosh and it is still running fine.

The reason that I bought it was that I wanted to know Apple better and it is when you use a device of a certain company that you are able to know the company and its ethics better.

SAMPLE ANSWER 2

I am a blogger and there was a time when I wanted to open my own travel blog. For me to be able to open and run an efficient blog, I required a camera. Having thought a lot about it and talking to many people, I decided on buying a DSLR. But, DSLRs are expensive and the one that I thought was fit for my job cost me around 50000.

During that time, I remember earning 35000 monthly and after having covered my expenses I was left with almost 15000 per month. It took me around 3 months before I could buy my first DSLR.

It is because of it that today I am able to click great photographs and also shoot videos. At that time, I felt as if I am spending money, but looking back at it I can surely say that I had done investment. My blog is now running really well and it is great to be able to make something new every day.

love

SAMPLE ANSWER

There are so many people who come in our lives but then there are few who do make a difference in our lives. For me, the one person who has been the most important part of my life is my husband, Avinash. I got to know him during my stint at a MNC that I worked with for two years. We hit it off the first day we met at a badminton match. I loved playing badminton and was playing to beat a friend of mine. After almost five matches, we both started enjoying the game together and it was so much of fun. 

We did not, however, met for sometime until it was for a toastmaster event. I remember him giving an outstanding speech and from there we started meeting often. We were very different on the outer and so very similar on the core. He for me was a good friend, an adviser and my partner in the company I opened after few years. 

He is the one person who has been with me always, for no reason and tying knot with him is my life’s best decision till date. I have grown as an individual with him and we are almost a house on fire when together. There are so many people who have been with me, but with Avinash, life seems so much more beautiful, so much more simple and a lovely affair. I almost forget about everything that worries me and figure out a solution to the toughest problem. The only reason I love spending time with him is because he makes me feel the time well spent.
