IELTS Cue Card – Study Room

Most of us have a study room in our house. Well, there are some who have a completely different room for study, while there are some who have a corner of their house where they do study. This time we are looking at a cue card that talks about your study room.

Describe your study room.

You should say :

how it looks?

how much time do you spend there?

what according to you, an ideal study room should be?

also explain how would you like to change your study room?

SAMPLE ANSWER 1

Our house had a storeroom next to my bedroom, which I later changed to my study room. The room is a small room with a window facing the garden of our house. Opposite the window is where my study desk is kept, so I can always gaze outside when in stress. The room has a shelf where I keep my books and a smaller desk where I keep all the frequent things. Like, if I am reading a novel, it will be kept on the desk. But, if I had completed reading it, I would probably keep it back on my shelf.

The room is painted white in colour, except for the wall opposite my desk. We have painted it in a dark purple colour because of two reasons. One, it is my favourite colour. Second, it brings a sense of achievement, luxury and yet calmness in my life. Most of my time after the office is spent there! Either I would be reading a novel there or preparing my speeches. According to me, an ideal study room is the one where a person can study calmly. So, it should be far away from all the distractions like television. Also, I think having a window is very important because it gives a person the time to think when in stress. Even a mirror also helps. Because sometimes when you have to learn something or practise it, you need the help of a mirror.

I do love my room, but I would like to have a mirror in my room so that I can practise my speeches well.

SAMPLE ANSWER 2

Our house has two floors and my study room is in the ground floor which makes it isolated and so a better place to be in. The room is a big room with two parts to it, one where my study material is kept and the other where a bed is placed. So, in case I wish to sleep, I can doze off there. The room has a big window, opposite to which my study table is kept. The room has two cupboards where I have placed my books, and then there is a small shelf where I keep the frequent books.

To the right of my study table, there is a small table where my laptop is kept. So, whenever I feel like doing some work on my laptop, I sit on the mat and do my work. On the right of my study table, there is a big mirror where I practise my speeches and often read out novels loud. Well, for the past year, since I left my job, I have always been in my study room or out of the house itself. I think, to an extent, my study room is an ideal study room because it has the mixture of both openness and isolation. There is technology as well as room for old books. It has got a mirror and then a window, which is very essential.

If ever I were to change my study room, I would only change the colour of the room. Presently it is painted in plain colours of violet. I would love to have more vibrant colours like orange and red in the room.

WORD MEANING

gaze: look steadily and intently, especially in admiration, surprise, or thought.

isolation: the process or fact of isolating or being isolated.

Doze off: sleep lightly or fitfully … to fall into a light sleep unintentionally.

IELTS Cue Card – New Year Celebrations

With every ending comes a new beginning. The new year is the time when people try to forget their old ways and make resolutions to become better individuals. It is also the time when people party and often loose control. Apart from them, there are still so many people who do not understand the concept of New Year, that there is always hope in life. This time we are looking at sample questions that could be asked in the IELTS cue card section related to the New Year celebrations.

Describe a new year celebration that you still remember. You should say :

with whom did you celebrate?

what did you do in the party?

why is it so special for you?

Also, explain the importance of new year parties in your life?

SAMPLE ANSWER 1

I am 23 now and consciously attended around 12 parties. But I think the one party that I remember and cherish the most is the one we had in our first year of graduation. I had cleared a competitive exam, and during the new year our exams were going on. So, no question of going home. We all were feeling a little low, but at around 11 at night, we heard music. All of the students in our hostel wing came out only to find that our warden had organised a DJ and stuff to eat. He asked us all to join us. Overwhelmed by his gesture, we all went down and danced the whole night.

I remember dancing with around 400 people to songs I had never heard, in languages that I didn’t understand, but it was pure fun. We all became good friends after that and had a blast for the next four years of our graduation. I think the one reason I cherish it the most is because it brought with it a lot of new things for me. I met new people and did things I never did. Like, dancing like a serpent and then like a girl. We were purely enjoying ourselves. There was no senior or junior, just a bunch of people living the moment.

Although ‘party animal’ is not the word that I would choose for myself. But, yes, I do party on New Year. For me, it is the time when I meet all the people I know, the ones I care for. Most probably, go out travelling with them. I believe life is busy, and we should just grab every occasion that we get to enjoy.

SAMPLE ANSWER 2

New year celebrations have never been very exciting for me, but I remember the 2016 New Year. It was the best new year I had to date, and I assume it to be the best to date.

It was during the end of 2015 that there were a lot of personal and professional issues I was struggling with. For some reasons, I started feeling as if this is how life is going to be for a longer run now. Sitting on my couch when everyone else was partying, I remember crying and feeling really bad.

At around 11:30, a really good friend of mine, with whom I recently had a fight, dropped by me. She had been my school friend, and we had shared a lot of things together. Fighting with her did have an impact on me. She had beer with her, scooty keys, and we just left the home together.

When the entire world was partying outside, I remember feeling the air and then reaching our school terrace and drinking beer. We revived our memories together, things that we had done and how life had just changed in some years. How quickly we had grown up. There was nothing particular, but having that kind of talk actually rejuvenated me. It made things so much easier for me. Since that year, every year we meet at our school terrace for a bottle of beer and lots of memories together.

I think New Year parties are a good way of celebrating, and everyone should celebrate New Year, but I believe everyone should enjoy it in the way that best suits them.

Cue Card – Popular Teacher

IELTS Cue Card # Popular Teacher

Describe a popular teacher that you know.
You should say:

what this teacher looks like

what sort of person this teacher is

what this teacher helped you to learn

And explain why this teacher is popular

Sample Answer:

I will be talking about my teacher, Mr Sahay. He used to be my tuition teacher (8th year) for mathematics and science.

He was an elderly man in his late 60s, a retired engineer who had spent most of his life in South Africa. He was a true gentleman, well-mannered and highly educated, who was full of both bookish knowledge and knowledge gained firsthand from personal experiences. Apart from helping me with solving maths and science problems. He helped me with life skills, exposed me to Sydney Sheldon, Dean Koontz, Agatha Christie and how to be chivalrous.

He used to be really good with the taught subjects. His classes were quite interactive and fun-filled. He always had a practical approach towards everything in life. I believe he was the most popular human being and a teacher. I sometimes wish I could meet him again and be his student.
