IELTS CUE CARD – Describe your dream house

IELTS CUE CARD : Card Describe your dream house

You should say :

  • What it would look like?
  • Where it would be located?
  • What facilities this would have?
  • Explain why you want to live there.

Sample Answer

Home is where the heart is. A house becomes a home truly when those occupying it, like to live there. I was born and brought up in the Doon valley situated on the foothills of the Himalayas. I grew up in a house overlooking the mountains. My work commitments forced me to migrate to Delhi, where I still reside. Whenever I want to take a break from work, I always prefer to go back to Doon and enjoy its serene beauty. I love this place and infect I have planned to build my dream house in Dehradun in the coming few years.

It’d be a small-sized villa situated in the middle of a large piece of land mountain facing. The external architecture will resemble the houses located in the European countryside giving it a rusty look. I would also like to have a garden with seasonal flowers right after the entrance gate. Having my morning and evening tea in the lawn of my dream house has always been on my bucket list.

Apart from the front garden, I’ll also make arrangements for a well-equipped kitchen garden in the backyard. Nowadays, organic farming is quite popular and I’d like to experience the luxury of homegrown fruits and vegetables, a privilege I enjoyed in my childhood.
Coming to the interiors of this house, it will have two bedrooms, a study, a living room and an open modular kitchen overlooking the living room. The kitchen will be equipped with all the latest gadgets to make cooking easier as well as exciting. The other rooms will have interesting and trendy décor giving them a peaceful ambience.

Since I’m a voracious reader, I’d like the study to be laced with all my favourite books wherein I can indulge in endless reading sessions and muse over my reading experiences, while looking at the mountains from the study window.
I intend to work really hard to build my dream house where I can resort to/spend solitary time during the summers and take a rejuvenating break from the mundane city life.

IELTS CUE CARD – Describe a place where you like to spend time alone

IELTS CUE CARD : Describe a place where you like to spend time alone
You should say :
  • Where is that place?
  • Why do you like to go there?
  • What activities do you do there?

Sample Answer

I am an introverted person; therefore, most of my time is spent alone. It’s not that I hate people, but I guess I don’t get along with social gatherings and stuff, I believe this one of the reasons why I don’t have friends. My room is my dearest place to spend time doing my favourite things like reading, playing guitar, and sleeping.
Since I come from a huge family, it’s not always easy to maintain privacy, so to find a peaceful place, I have discovered a place that is nestled with lush green forests, and only a handful of people go there.It is a kind of place where time seems to stand still and the hectic outside world disappears. It’s a place of calm and seclusion where I can unwind, think, and just be among the simplicity and serenity of the natural world. This place has everything that a person who admires serenity and tranquillity needs.
Whenever I go there, I practice sketching and even play music. To my surprise, I made a friend there who shares the same taste in reading and music. Her name is Rachel, she belongs to Gujrat and had recently shifted here along with her family and cute little puppy Max. He is a bunch of happiness altogether, playing with him makes me forget my all worries. I love this place a lot and I always pray that it stays unrevealed to people otherwise it would be ruined.
Word Meaning Sentence
Handful of A small number (of some body/something) Only a handful of people came to the meeting.
serentity State of being calm I admire her serenity in the midst of so much chaos.

IELTS CUE CARD – Talk about a time you set a goal

IELTS CUE CARD : Talk about a time you set a goal
You should say :
  • What was the goal?
  • Did you achieve the goal?
  • What did you learn along the way?
  • And Explain why you set that goal.

Sample Answer

During Quarantine the world seems to have come to a standstill. Time, weekdays, and routines have become an abstract alien concept to the majority of us. To keep myself preoccupied and to prevent myself from wasting this precious time, I set myself some goals.
My Goals were as follows: getting up early, every single day consistently; continue a modified version of my workout even at home; and to learn a new skill.
The first two goals were easy enough to implement once I got used to the ideas. I made sure to keep my favourite song as an alarm tone. Rather than keeping my phone next to me while I sleep, now I kept it in the kitchen which is all the way across the apartment. Once in the kitchen, I have a glass of water to freshen up and get about the rest of my day.
I soon noticed that getting up became easier every day, my moods got a whole lot better, and I just felt generally more productive. I managed to do variations of indoor yoga six days a week, for I gave myself a pass on Sundays. That’s another thing I did, I made sure not to lose track of the weekdays, I treated every day like a work vacation; a day to get the most out of.
Now as for my last goal, it was to learn a new skill to keep me focused. The skill I chose to learn was animation. It was slow, time-consuming work; reading from the manuals and online free tutorials I could get my hands on. But lo and behold, two weeks later I had finished my very first simple animation of a 90-frame loop of a walking bird. I am very proud of my creation.
So far, the quarantine is still not over but I am proud to announce that I have indeed achieved the goals I have set out for myself – I even look forward to achieving them tomorrow, and every day that is to come in the future. The main thing I learned along this journey is realizing as an adult how much your choices reflect in your lifestyle. How good improvement actually feels, and how easy it is to take that first step into the unknown.
Useful words and their meanings
Quarantine a period of time during which an animal or person that might have a disease is kept away from other people or animals so that the disease cannot spread
Standstill a condition in which all movement or activity has stopped
lo and behold (a phrase) something that you say when you tell someone about something surprising that happened

IELTS CUE CARD – Talk about a time you received good news.

IELTS CUE CARD : Talk about a time you received good news.

You shoukd say:

  • When it happened?
  • How you got the news?
  • What the news was about?
  • and explain why the news was special?

SAMPLE ANSWER

We always work hard in our lives to get good results. Sometimes good news are the outcome of hard work, but other times we get unexpected good news in our lives. Today, I would like to narrate such an incident that recently happened in my life.

I live abroad, away from my family. It has been one year since I have been living in London to pursue my higher education. I rarely get time to talk to my family in such a busy schedule, and video calls are only possible on weekends. This incident is of the day before yesterday, while I video called my mother at my home in India, I suddenly saw that she was holding a newborn baby in her arms. I was happy as soon as I saw the baby.

It was so cute—just a bundle of joy wrapped in my mom’s arms. I asked my mother who the baby was, and she exclaimed with joy that it was my nephew. It was indeed a surprise for me, as I have been far away from my family; therefore, I wasn’t aware that my sister was pregnant. In my whole life, this has been the best news that I have ever heard. At the same moment, my heart sank because I could not hold this cute little baby in my arms and give him a warm hug.

This was the most special news for me because it was the first baby in the third generation of my family. I could see a lot of other relatives in the video call who are roaming behind. They were all happy, cheering, having a good time, and enjoying with the baby. This is such good news that now, I have booked my tickets to India, and I will be traveling soon in the next week to meet my nephew and see him in real life and cuddle with him.
