SAMPLE ANSWER

The world is rapidly changing and from times of stone age we have moved towards the age when we are surrounded by the cutting-edge technology. In today’s world if someone is hesitant in using computer, he/she is likely to lag behind other people. However, this is not the reason why I love computers. My love towards computers is because I believe that they have made our lives easier like never before. Not only this, computers have opened up so many new career prospects that its absence is felt the hard way.

I personally use computers for either coding or writing. There is this thing about coding, it makes you feel as if you are the creator and it is truly an amazing experience. Even more, being a blogger, I need to put content on my site and do things like video editing and other stuff. Having a computer allows me to have the best of both worlds. To an extent, it is actually my bread earner. Not only this, when combined with Internet, there is almost nothing that one cannot achieve. To an extent, the device has actually made me a cyber addict.

Sometimes I wonder if I don’t have computers, there would nothing else that I will be able to do because it consumes so much of me. However, I do have a love for reading so may be I will join some publishing house where articles are printed the usual way. Or may be I could work more on my badminton skills and do something there.

IELTS Cue Card # Admire

Describe a person, much older than you, whom you admire:
You should say –

  • Who the person is?
  • How you know the person?
  • How this person has influenced you?
  • Why you admire this person?
Sample Answer – One

It has been a pleasure to be able to meet so many great people around. Right from work to school to the place where I live. There have been people who have been successful in the eyes of others and then the ones who were right for themselves. But, the one person who I admire is Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple. Although, I have never met him in person, but I know about him from the books and documentaries made on him.

There is something about Steve Jobs that is so amazing that one could just be spell bound by him. From his story to the way he talks and the attitude that he carries, it is almost amazing. And the one thing that I really like about him is that was a born fighter. He never gave up and it is so amazing.

Anyone else in his shoes, would have easily quit when he was kicked out of his company but getting kicked out of his company did not stopped Steve Jobs, he went out and tried his fortune in other ventures and ultimately came back to Apple and then brought back Apple to what it is now. A company we look forward to. A company with principles that are so inspiring. He in so many ways has taught our generation how to lead life.

Sample Answer – Two

There have been several people who have influenced me in so many ways. But, the one person I think who actually brought about a change in the way I think is my father. There is nothing particular as to why I admire him but there are so many things that make me fond of him.

I have never seen a man more hardworking and selfless than him. He would go out and do things right and that is what he has taught us. Starting from a broken family to unfaithful relationships to broken trust to so much more. Being born in a poor family and then rising to do what he has actually done, I think it is truly amazing. There are others like Bill Gates, Sachin Bansal and Indira Nooyi who people think to be successful and yes they are but sometimes I believe had my father also got the right environment, where people would have pushed him forward rather than backward, he might also have had a bungalow near the beach.

But, inspite of that, in spite of the fact that his family has always been against him and there have so many struggles, the one thing that I love and admire about my father is that he has always been very positive. Positive about the things around him, about his life and his future which I believe is truly amazing.

 

Tips:

There are so many people we come across, so many of them from whom we learn things and then there are people whom we admire. In today’s cue card, talk about someone who you admire.

You can spend 2-3 minutes figuring out the points that you are going to say. Once you are ready, go on and hit the target. While practicing make sure that you don’t give up on the first attempt, you need to try as many times as you can, record it and then evaluate yourself. Make sure your last attempt is the your best one.

IELTS Cue Card # Interesting Conversation

Describe an interesting conversation you had with someone you did not know.
You should say:

  • who the person was
  • where the conversation took place
  • what you talked about

and explain why you found the conversation interesting.

Sample Answer-One

There are lot of conversations that we have, sometimes with our friends, the other times with our family members, but I clearly remember a conversation with a senior consultant at NRI consulting dehradun about my future Job. It was more of his love to make sure that I am able to do things in my life and my concern of being limited in some certain boundaries.

Consultant was trying to make me understand the importance of job and a good life. We were talking of the great people in our family and I remember out of no where, words started coming into my mouth. I was finally talking and talking about some serious things in life. I told him that for me it is about loving my work and doing it more often. It is about getting up every morning to do more of work and live life as it comes.

And this is not going to happen if I look for job security. For some reasons it was not coming out of my head and every word that I said was from my heart.

The reason the conversation is so important for me because when I look back at it after Two years of it happening, I realize that I never knew that whatever I am telling will be true and I will definitely live a life that is true to my heart and achieve things no one ever thought of.

It was this conversation that made me realize that to be successful in life it is very important to be confident, confident even in the darkest of hours.
Interesting Conversation

Sample Answer-Two

Few months back, while I was in the training center, I was part of a SOFTEN initiative which was about teaching kids and interacting with them, most of those who had a rough past. While I was a volunteer there, I met a guy, he was our senior and we both were part of a team. So, we had these five people, most of them were child labors and me and Debashis, the guy, we were the ones leading the team.

So, the entire day we were telling the children about the games and the quizzes, teaching them things here and there and when the workshop got ended, me and Debashis went for a coffee near our campus. Now, this was the first time I had ever gone for a coffee with someone and had a real good time.

We talked about poor people, the down trodden lives of them and how they survive and are able to live their lives. We did shared the same opinion that assuming just because a person is not wearing good clothes, does not mean he or she is not to be respected. From the lives of poor we went on to talking about the work that we do for the organization. He was a part of the project of Boeing and had learnt so much more about aircrafts and he was fascinated talking about it and I was amazed by hearing his passion. The same way I did talked about lot of things here and there.

The reason I loved the conversation because it was more of listening and understanding. So, neither of us was trying to tell the other person what they had to share but we were more concerned about listening to the other person and responding to it. Also, it was from that conversation that I realized I could talk and interact with people in a good way. This confidence has helped me striking lot more conversations.

Tips

There are so many  people that we meet in our lives but then there are some with whom we end up having great conversations. These are the people who in some way plant a seed for a new future or a new path. The conversation could be about anything, right from sports or models or food or may be passion.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Important Day

 

Describe an important day that you celebrate in your country.

You should say:

  • when do you celebrate it?
  • what is its historical importance
  • who are main people involved in it?

explain how you celebrate the day.

There are lot of days in our country which have got some importance associated with them. From having relegious importance to being very important nationally, we celebrate these days with lot of vigor. One of these days is the republic day which is celebrated every year on 26th of January.

This is the day when the constitution of our country came into effect. Although, the country had made up its constitution and all the 308 members had signed on 24 January 1950, the constitution came into effect on 26-January. This was to mark the importance of 26th January. Two decades back, on this day the Indian people had started celebrating the Independence of the country, even before it had become free. To mark the importance of this event, the day was chosen to celebrate the republic day.

On this day, ceremonious parades take place at the Rajpath, which are performed as a tribute to India; its unity in diversity and rich cultural heritage. The event’s main lead is the President who unfurls the national flag and there are several a-list ministers invited. Along with them, a person from a foreign country is invited to be part of the event. On this day, several bravery awards are given and different schools and the the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force perform the beating retreat.

important day

Lot of more events are held and apart from the main event in Rajpath, it is celebrated across the entire country, with schools and colleges preparing for it for a long period of time. You can hear lot of patriotic songs being played all over the country.

Most of the times, I along with my friends go out to a historical place and figure out more about our country on this day.  Last year, I remember we all sat down to read the constitution of our country. It is always amazing for all of us to know more about a beautiful country like India, we are proud to  be part of.

There are several days which are important to the country and are celebrated with lot of excitement and preparations through out the country. One of the events is the “Rath yatra” that takes place every year in the month of July/June in Puri. This is the day it is believed that God comes out to meet his devotees. What is special about this event is that otherwise, people of other religions apart from Hindus are not allowed in this temple and when the deities do come out, people from all around the world come to see the God and touch him.

It is believed that the one who is able to pull the chariot gets to get rid of all his or her sins. And so people from all over the country come, bare foot to be able to touch the chariot in which the God is taken from the Jagannath temple to the place where they are assumed to rest for some time. There are lot of stories associated with this event. One is that one this day, Lord jagannath with his brother and sister go towards their aunt’s house and in the mean while they forget to visit Laxmi. So, on their journey back, their is this entire drama that takes place where Laxmi refuses to let Jagannath in the house.

One can find lot of plays being enacted for the audience. People watch them and cheer for their God. Every year, it is believed that stampede could be possible and people do die, but the excitement and the faith with which people come to see their God is amazing. People shout, smile and almost loose themselves to be able to just see their God, to touch them.

I visit the Rath yatra at Puri every year and have managed to pull the chariot lot many times.
