IELTS Cue Card #Describe an experience about moving to a new house/school

Sample Answer :

Generally, many people have this break when they need to shift either from their school or home or both, may be. Shift from a place to another has definite psychological implications. Our family too, shifted from our old home to a new place, that was to become our new home. At that time, back in 2006, I was pursuing my first year of graduation. Our home was very old and with the rapid urbanization over the time, it became the centre of a huzzbuzz intersection of crossroads. Now, although the location became costlier in commercial sense, but it was misfit for a peaceful housing ambience. So, my father decided to shift to a new house in an ideal residential society.

I was born and brought up in our old home. All my childhood memories were encapsulated in those boundaries. Therefore, I felt a terrific nostalgic rush inside me while leaving. I could see the moments afloat, in those airs. Although the surroundings were very noisy and crowded but it was difficult to shed that inertia of accustomization. But then, there was that curiosity factor too, anxious to see and live in our new home. My father purchased a brand new home in a serene surroundings. So, along with, the thought of living there was making me curiously happy.

There were major noticeable advantages in our new home. Ample of parking space in front, calm peaceful green surroundings, good parks for the children nearby, school and hospital in proximity and that aromatic smell of fresh paints on the newly built strong walls of our new home were some of the benefits of shifting in the new house.

Needless to say, old memories lingered in our minds for quite some time. But since we retained our past property too, so we could go anytime to see that antiquity. Moreover, we started feeling good in the comforts of our new home. So, overall, it was a nice experience of shifting.

STRONG WORDS
Word Meaning
Encapsulate put inside a capsule: No single book can encapsulate the whole concept.
Nostalgic sentimental, lonesome: Old memories evoke a strong nostalgia.
Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 Has shifting process increased over the time? If yes, then state why?

Sample Answer: Yes, shifting from one place to another has increased substantially over the past few years. I think with the rapid urbanization, nucleus centres for work and commerce have developed in a concentrated manner. Due to this, migration has increased which leads to shifting of schools and houses.

Q. 2 Does it take time to get accustomed to new place?

Sample Answer: Although, in this digital era, strict heterogeneity among cultures and lifestyles is disappearing. All the basic amenities and patterned lifestyle is a common thing to be seen everywhere. But, still, there are some initial hesitations and strangeness about a new place which have to be dealt with. For e.g.: it might take some time to freely converse in a different language at a different place.

Q. 3 What are the problems faced by children in shifting school?

Sample Answer: Changing school comes as an abrupt interruption not only in academic cycle but in the overall social conditioning process. School is a major socializing agent. A child who has been gravitated in a particular company of teachers and friends, may find it difficult to assimilate in a different environment. It will take time for him to develop that awareness and friendliness of the new surroundings.

Q. 4 How should one think about the change, in general?

Sample Answer: Change is the basic nature of us and our universe. It cannot be stopped. Therefore, they say ’ Change is the only thing that never changes’. So, one should be willing to embrace the change in a happy manner. Initially, we might feel that change breaks our already established posture or flow but eventually, change is always for good.

travel Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in dehradun

Sample Answer

I am an avid traveler and have visited many cities across India and other countries for work and leisure purposes. My favorite city out of the ones that I have visited is Sydney. A major city in Australia, it is the state capital of New South Wales. It is situated on the southeastern coast of Australia near the Tasman Sea and is home to around 4.6 million people. I traveled to this city in 2013 after my high school for a vacation.

This city has many attractions and there are many reasons for my fondness. A veritable collection of beaches, natural areas, botanic gardens, parks, and high rising buildings add to its beauty. This city has many heritage buildings and landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House, Harbor Bridge, and the observatory.

It is known for the dynamic cultural hub and houses many famous museums and art galleries with great architecture. The weather is pleasant all round the year, and the views are beautiful.

The best part is the city planning and public services. I found the transportation services to be affordable and highly effective. The city is very well planned and it is very easy to commute or reach different places. People there are friendly and welcoming, and help the tourists with many things.

The city is lively and vibrant and offers a lot of other things to do apart from sightseeing. In my limited time there, I tried to visit as many places as possible, and soaked in the beauty of the marvelous places that I went to. I would visit this city again whenever I get an opportunity.

Speaking Task 2

Describe a time when you received money as a gift.

  • When did you receive it?
  • What did you do with it?
  • How did you feel about it?

money-as-a-gift Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in dehradun

Sample Answer

A gift always brings a smile on our face, whenever we receive it. Moreover, it shows our importance in other’s life. Different types of gifts are given on different occasions, as a token of blessings and love. I have also received many gifts so far on various occasions. On my last birthday, I received money as a gift from my elder brother.

Since he was confused about my preference for a gift, he decided to give me some money as a gift so that I could buy anything as per my choice. He made my birthday special when he had given me an envelope containing some cash. There was an exact amount of cash inside which I required to purchase an Apple Watch. I felt so overwhelmed that tears started rolling down my eyes. Next day, I and my brother went to the market and bought a white Apple Watch for me. Out of the excitement, I clicked a picture of that watch and posted on my social site to share my happiness with my friends and relatives.

I was really grateful to my brother for the gesture of love and care he had shown me. I really love him for his unconditional love and support. He understands my needs even if I do not tell him. That gift was indeed special for me but the person who gave me that gift is the most special one.

Describe something you received for free.

  • What was it?
  • Who did you receive it from and when?
  • How did you receive it?

And how did you feel?

SAMPLE ANSWER TWO-

One comes across few instances in life, when he/she receives freebies on certain occasions. One plus one is one such bogof, where you get to receive one gift free along with the one bought by you. At one point of time, I was the recipient of such a free giving occasion. It was a farm sized pizza, more than enough for even two people and we were only two, my wife and me, at that time.

We planned to go for some shopping in Delhi on the eve of our first wedding anniversary. It was the summer time and we went to Connaught place in central Delhi, where we can easily access big branded showrooms for both of us. By the time we were finished with the shopping, it was noon already. Sun was overhead and we felt like lounging ourselves in a chill restaurant for lunch. My wife immediately popped up with the idea of a pizza at MacDonald’s. We were the occasional gobblers of such fast foods therefore I, at once, gave my consent to it. We went to the one located nearby and placed ourselves well, waiting eagerly for the menu.

Just then, when we were merrily whispering about the special day, a waiter overheard us without our cognizance. He approached us asking for our favourite menu. My wife ordered a one for two, Veg pizza with extra cheese, for both of us. While we were waiting, waiter reappeared with a farm size pizza with extra cheese. I was about to enquire about the size when he interjected me with the greeting and a broad smile for our anniversary. He then informed us, how he came to know and how their place organizes a free treat for the couples on their special day.

Well, I was already feeling my pocket pinched after an exhaustive shopping spree along with a large ravenous appetite. I was simply overdelighted with that free offer of our choice. My wife’s eyes gleamed too and we together acknowledged it as the best gift on that ceremonial occasion.

STRONG WORDS

Word Meaning
Gleam Shine: Happiness brings gleam in our eyes.
Ravenous Very hungry: After a few hours of exercise, I felt ravenous.
Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 Why do we like free gifts?

Sample answer: A gift coming for free happens usually on particular special occasions like birthday, marriage and so on. But receiving one on some unusual day just springboards our surprise and joy. Getting something when one is not prepared to spend comes as a luxury.

Q. 2 Why do restaurants and shopping centres give free gifts?

Sample answer: In the present scenario of cutthroat competition, enterprises play several marketing stints to attract the customers. Offering free gifts on some occasions is a subset of that marketing propaganda to increase the no. of footfalls.

Q. 3 Do freebies really turn into motivation for customers to revisit?

Sample answer: Yes, many times, for majority of the people, it definitely leaves an alluring impression. Such freebies act as inducements, especially when the gift is likeable and the routine items sold by the shop are not of very inferior quality.

Q. 4 Can the excess of free gifts have the negative impact too?

Sample answer: Yes, indeed. Excess disbursing of free items can lead to an altogether different perspective about the enterprise, in the minds of customers. They may feel sceptical about the quality or they might just be addicted to that free item only. In this case, strength of the genuine customers might be affected adversely.

HAPPIEST-SITUATION Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in Dehradun

Sample answer

There have been many times I have felt happy about my life, but if I had to talk about the happiest situation, it was when I got placed in a leading company. It was after a lot of perseverance that I landed myself into the company. I joined around three years back and it has been an amazing ride since I have joined the company.

Actually, I consider myself to be a hard-working individual, and I have proved it time and again. One day my seniors organised a meeting with all the associates and told us about a very difficult assignment which needed to be worked upon for a client. We received different task allocations and started working upon them. After poring into the data and figuring out the solutions, I finished my work and submitted it. I then proceeded to help my colleagues and played my part in finishing the project before the deadline. During all this time, our seniors kept a close eye on our individual progress.

Now at the next meeting, we were told that our work was good and the client appreciated our efforts. My manager called me over and proceeded to announce that everyone was pleased by my exceptional work ethics, and they have decided to promote me as a team leader. My joy knew no bounds at that moment and I thanked everyone profusely. I felt satisfied knowing that my efforts helped me achieve success. It is indeed a great feeling when your endeavor pays off with such results.
