IELTS SPEAKING TASK CUE CARD # DESCRIBE A T.V. SERIES WHICH YOU ENJOY WATCHING. Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER

The T.V. Show which I’m currently obsessed with is ‘Lucifer. It’s an American T.V. Series that was first premiered on Fox in 2016. The Show is about the life of the protagonist, Lucifer, who after being dissatisfied to be the Lord of Hell, resigns from his throne against the wishes of his father (God) and starts residing on Earth. He settles down in Los Angeles, where he ends up running his own nightclub by the name Lux and also guided the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department)

Lucifer, which was first broadcasted in 2016, has 5 seasons in total holding 24 episodes each. The show is broadcasted in every six months. After Fox cancelled the series, Netfix authorized it. The fifth and the final season is released in 2019.

The main actors of this Series include Tom Ellis, D.B. Woodside, Lauren German who play the book adaption characters of The Sandman. Out of all the actors, Tom Ellis who plays the character of Lucifer is my favorite mainly due to his charming personality, humorous dialogues and British accent.

The thing that interests me the most about the entire series are the celestial activities that take place from time to time among the biblical characters. The demonic possessions and their connection with the lifestyle of L.A. draws my undivided attention. The best part is although it’s fictional, the unrealistic characters appears to be so real to the viewers. Each episode has a new murder mystery to solve where Lucifer, Chloe and Dan work together. The thing that appeals to me was the mysterious ending of each episode where I couldn’t resist myself from watching the next episode.

OTHER OPTIONS-

The Kapil Sharma Show, a well-known family comedy show of India. The Show revolves around the Kapil Sharma and his team which includes renowned comedians of our country like Bharti Singh and Kiku Sharda. Many Bollywood celebrities appear as guest in this show in order to promote their upcoming movies.
‘Friends’ is a globally popular T.V. Show which has viewers of different age groups. The storyline goes around the personal and professional lives of six friends who reside in Manhattan, New York. The series casts my all-time favorite actress, Jenifer Aniston, who plays the role of Rachel in the Show.

IELTS CUE CARD #DREAM COLLEGE/ UNIVERSITY

February 23, 2022 IELTS Research

IELTS CUE CARD #DREAM COLLEGE/ UNIVERSITY

Describe your dream College/University.
You should say:

Where the College/University is?

What attracted you to this College/University?

What courses are you interested in?

and explain why you feel this College/University would be a dream to attend.

Sample Answer:

The University of my dreams would surely be the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Also previously known as Ingolstadt University. As the name itself suggests, this University is located in Munich, the capital of Bavaria state, Germany.

The chief allure for me is the region and language. You see, I spent a significant portion of my childhood in Germany. For me, there is nothing more beautiful than the German language and especially the culture that it promotes. And I am very lucky in that aspect; I can choose to enter the German taught or English taught courses as per my preferences.

Furthermore, this University specializes in the sciences. Besides being a science student myself, I know for a fact that few can compete with LMU’s excellence and education standards.

Likewise, another draw to this University, in particular, is its previous alumni. Namely, the 42 Nobel laureates that graduated from this very Institution. Not to mention the fact that the grounds can be dated back to 1472, which is just fascinating to think about. I can not even imagine walking the same hallowed halls as my idols!!

As for courses I am interested in, the “Bachelor of Sciences in Computer Sciences” sounds right up my alley. It is a three-year undergraduate degree course in Computer Science itself. In which I would learn about the fundamentals of computer science in theoretical, practical and application-oriented point of view.

Thus indeed, I do truly believe this University is the perfect choice for me. It is highly ranked with a significant international student ratio. Further, the faculty is world-renowned and the results truly do speak for themselves as well. With that in mind, it also helps that the school is state-funded, meaning it has ample opportunities for scholarships.

In the above, I have illustrated my reasons for believing LMU to be my dream university and the course I would want to avail.

IELTS CUE CARD – Describe an indoor game that you liked to play when you were a child

IELTS CUE CARD – Describe an indoor game that you liked to play when you were a child

Describe an indoor game that you liked to play when you were a child

What is it?

With whom did you play it?

How often you played it?

How did you feel about it?

SAMPLE ANSWER

Like other children I’ve played several games, both indoor and outdoor, and in fact, try to play whenever I get time.

Among those games, I enjoyed playing snakes and ladders more than others. It’s an indoor board game based on numbers where 2 to 4 players can play at a time. Since this game required placing the foldable board on a surface and using dice and tokens, it was convenient to play snakes and ladders almost anywhere.

I usually played it with my friends on weekends and with my cousins during my school vacation. Sometimes I played it with my father also. In f

act I would admit my father taught me to play this game. He wanted to teach me how to count and playing this game made learning exciting.

What I liked most about this game was the excitement of climbing the ladders on board as well the rolling of the dice. When the opponent players landed on a snake and had to come sliding down gave me utmost joy! When I lost the game I used to end up crying.

I still remember, my father used to lose the game deliberately so that I could win. I used to get jubilant on winning from him.

Even today, I like to play this game as it brings back fond memories of my childhood. It’s a great way to create a bonding with our loved ones and spend quality time with them.

STRONG WORDS

WORDS	MEANING
Utmost	of the greatest possible degree or amount: utmost seriousness eg. The situation needs to be handled with utmost care.
Jubilant	feeling great joy eg. The fans were jubilant over their team’s victory.

IELTS speaking task Cue card # Describe a book that influenced you?

February 19, 2022 IELTS Research

IELTS speaking task Cue card

Describe a book that influenced you?

What that book was?

How you first heard of the book?

What is the main story of the book?

Why this book is important?

SAMPLE ANSWER

The book /novel that had a major impact and developed my interest in reading is ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte. It was published in 1840s, (1847 to be precise).Though many readers thought of it as a disturbing and a novel full of contradictions, I personally enjoyed every detail of it.

There’s a popular saying that there’s no friend as loyal as a book. Being a person of impatient and restless nature, I had the habit of not completing any book I started reading. It was when a teacher of mine recommended us to read the ‘Wuthering Heights’ while she was discussing about the Bronte sisters and Jane Eyre at a seminar.

The book is about a powerful love story of Heathcliff and Catherine, but it is very different from a typical love story as it follows the self-destructive way of Heathcliff and his vengeful nature due to his unrequited love for Catherine. The subject of revenge, envy, gender inequality clashes between social classes predominate the book. The novel also incorporates gothic and supernatural elements like the appearances of ghosts. Moreover, physical violence and abuse are also present in most part of this book.

The reason why ‘Wuthering Heights’ plays such a significant role in my life is that firstly, it is written by a female writer during those days when it was considered unethical for a woman to pen down her thoughts especially when the novel is autobiographical. Secondly, after reading this book my perspective towards English literature changed completely and I developed a keen interest in reading as well.

OTHER OPTIONS-

In the book, the author sells his mansion and Ferrari in order to head to the Himalayas to attain wisdom and knowledge.
‘I Have A Dream’ is another Indian book authored by Rashmi Bansal in which the author illustrates the lives of twenty people who were social entrepreneurs. These people aimed to bring contentment and happiness in other’s lives. These social workers worked for the betterment of our society. It also shows that individual has the capacity to take up an issue and make this world a finer place to live in and highlights the power of determination.
