Describe your daily routine.

What it is?

Sample Answer

Fortunately I don’t have a hectic schedule like most people these days. Since I’m a student so my primary objective is studying. I’ve always been an early riser, so getting up early is not difficult for me. I fervently adhere to the proverb “early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” I wake up at 5:00 AM and study for an hour. I give paramount importance to my health since I’m a fitness freak, good health for me is a non-negotiable, especially in the light years. I always make sure to worship before leaving the house as it gives me a positive start. I make sure to never skip breakfast because it is my main source of energy for the day. I’ve got four hours of classes, which leaves me exhausted, after returning back home I take some time to relax. I sometimes have a quick snooze. I like to spend time with my family and engage in some fun activities in the evening. This regimen makes me happy and gives me a sense of inner fulfilment since it allows me to divide my time rationally among the key responsibilities in my life: studying, participating in my favourite activities, and spending time with my family.

CUE CARD – Describe something you taught your friend/relative

December 24, 2025 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe something you taught your friend/relative.

You should say:

What you taught him/her?

When it was?

And explain how you felt about it?

Sample Answer

My cousin would always worry about her mother’s loneliness as she is a working professional, so she can’t spend much time with her. Her mother would often complain to her about her boredom. So she gifted her mother a smartphone, which could help her kill time and not get bored at home. I used to visit their home quite often, so my cousin requested that I help her with the technology as my aunt had zero knowledge about it. I had my classes too; we mutually agreed on the time that would suit both of us. I begin by teaching her how to make calls and use social media apps like YouTube and Instagram. My aunt is an avid Gardner, so I recommended that she follow some channels that post content in her genre. Initially, I had a lot of difficulty making her understand the complexities of a smartphone. I was amazed by the inquisitiveness and learning enthusiasm my aunt had. Her dedication made me not give up on her. Within a month, my aunt was able to use the phone without anyone’s help. Now she could make calls and watch videos. Learning this helped her get out of her loneliness. My cousin and aunt thanked me for the help. I consider that teaching is one of the most difficult tasks to perform, and I did that pretty well.

STRONG WORDS

Inquisitiveness	Curiousity	Her inquisitiveness managed to get a prompt reply.

Speaking -Part 3 (Follow up questions)
Here are some examples of follow up questions that examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to cue card ‘Describe something you taught your friend/relative’.

Q1. What are the things that young people can teach old people?

There is no shadow of a doubt that old people are a storehouse of knowledge, experiences and skills that young people can gain. However, there are many skills that young people can teach older people too. For instance, assisting them to learn new technology as they are new to it, so they often face difficulties understanding the complexities of smart gadgets. The older generation can also learn how to accept new things open-minded my from the younger generation.

Q2. Why do older people have problems learning new things?

One of the major factors that impact the learning capabilities of older people is their age. As a person grows older, the brain shrinks and its efficiency to memorise decreases. Another reason could be that one is not used to it, as learning new things could be challenging if one doesn’t have any prior knowledge about the same.

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a colorful event.

You should say:

What the event was?

Why it was so colorful?

What happened at the event?

And describe how you felt attending that event.

Sample Answer

An individual has to attend several events and occasions in his/her life. I too had enjoyed many functions related to different themes, but I am going to talk about a specific one which I most recently experienced. Pacing back to the month of March, the society in which I live organized an event to celebrate the festival of colors, which in India is popularly known as “Holi”. This festival is celebrated each year with zeal and enthusiasm by the followers of Hindu religion. While celebrating this festival, people plat with colors and have a varied selection of dishes to choose from. All the members of our locality contributed a fixed amount to the chosen president for this function. Ever since this function was decided to be celebrated, everyone had been keenly looking forward for it to arrive. On the day of the event, all of the members were full of joy and happiness. On a long table, different colors were placed on plates for the people to use and play with. Everyone there was exchanging greetings and sweets with each other. One could feel the togetherness present in the air that day. Big speakers blew in full volume with amazing Bollywood songs to set the mood of fun. Colors flew in the air as everyone was splashing on them on each other. Some were even using colored water through water cannons. There was harmony among all of us. To sum up, I’d say that it was one of the events where I felt the most present in the moment. It gave me a new beginning as I forgot all the hatred and sorrow that I had faced before this celebration.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning	Sentence
Contributed	Provide something	Harsh contributed the highest for the party.
Enthusiasm	Confidence	Her enthusiasm persuaded other participants to get through the tasks.

Speaking -Part 3 (Follow up questions)
Here are some examples of follow up questions that examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to cue card ‘Describe a colorful event’.

Q1. How do people celebrate public events?

In my opinion, it mostly depends on the type of the function. But in almost all events, a lot of varied food items are served, friends gather together to have chit-chat with each other and sometimes even enjoy deinks of their likings. These events are full of excitement and cheerfulness.

Q2. Do you think it is important to celebrate events?

Well, I partially agree with this statement as even though I do believe that life’s a short path and every little achievement deserves its own celebration, however, not everybody on this planet is fortunate enough to conduct a grand celebration due to limited financial resources.

CUE CARD – Describe an advertisement that you don’t like.

December 22, 2025 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe an advertisement that you don’t like. You should say:

When did you see it?

What it is about?

Where you saw it?

Why you didn’t like it?

Sample Answer

Advertisements are the heart and soul of business as it aids in generating the revenue and a good customer base. In this modern era, advertising firms are broadcasting their advertisements in a luring manner. Well, I am a movie buff. I vividly remember a time when I was watching a movie by being a couch potato on a lazy weekend, an ad popped up on my laptop’s screen and it was stating about a face cream which will eventually helps a person to become fair in complexion, which according to me was so demeaning because it was something promoting that fair complexion is all that matters. In that ad a girl who had dusky colour was worked out as she was not fair. So her friend came up to her and gave her the cream named FAIR AND LOVELY. Though that costed her an arm and a leg but she somehow purchased it and after applying it for one entire month she didn’t get any kind of change which made her even more sad.
After viewing these derogatory things I felt blue because complexion is something that an individual cannot change and should not even try to alter it. Complexion is an individuals identity.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning	Sentence
Broadcasting	The transmission of programmes or information by radio or television.	The cooking show will be broadcasted tonight at 8:00 P.M.
Demeaning	causing someone to lose their dignity and the respect of others.	The seminar was not demeaning to elderly.

Speaking -Part 3 (Follow up questions)
Here are some examples of follow up questions that examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to cue card ‘Describe an advertisement that you don’t like’.

Q1. Do people usually buy stuff after watching advertisements?

Well in my opinion it varies from individual to individual. Few folks are inclined towards purchasing goods after viewing the advertisements because they consider it as the clear picture of the product but on the flip side of the coin few people prefer to visit the store and look for the product in a tangible way and then make a decision regarding its purchase.

Q2. Is music useful in advertising?

Yes, undoubtedly music plays a crucial role in advertisements because without it the ad will be a dumb show. Good music always catch the attention of a person and the basic motive of ad is to lure the intending customer.
