Describe a sportsperson that you admire.

• Who is the person?
• What is their achievement?
• Why do you admire him?

Sample Answer

Sports and fitness activities play an important role in everyone’s lives. Apart from keeping a person fit and healthy, one can also excel at these to gain name and fame. All of us follow sportsmen and athletes that play different sports, and we also have personal favorites among them.

I also follow a sportsperson whom I admire and respect the most. He is Mr. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, a very well-known and esteemed ex-cricketer of the Indian national team. He is considered to be a living legend and one of the greatest batsmen of all times. He is the only player who has scored a hundred centuries in his international playing career.

Known as the little master, he started his international cricket career at the age of 16. He surprised everyone by scoring his first century in a test match against Pakistan when not many people knew about the talent he possessed. After that, he did not stop and made many records. He has since then received many awards and accolades not only for his exceptional playing capabilities but also for his good conduct on and off the playing field. Moreover, He has received the Arjuna Award, the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, the Padma Shri, and the Padma Vibhushan Award.

A very simple, down to earth person, he is also very kind hearted and honest. He has played cricket in all three formats namely test matches, one-day matches, and twenty over matches. He has recently retired from his cricketing career and is now appointed as a Member of Parliament. I admire his patience, dedication, and constant aspiration to improve as an individual. He has always played with the utmost spirit of sportsmanship and I respect him for it.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Talk about a good news that you heard recently.

• What was the news?
• Who gave you this news?
• How did this news affect you?

Sample Answer

In my life, I have received a lot of news that has affected me in different manners. There has been good news that made me feel elated, while some times brought discouraging news with them. One such memorable time when I received good news was when my elder cousin decided to get married.

He is paternal uncle’s son and they were trying to find a suitable match for him for the last two months. They finalized the bride during this January and when everything was decided, they broke the news to us. I was elated by this good news and felt happy for my brother.

This news was overwhelming as my brother has faced a lot of adversities moving up in life. He pursued a very tough degree in management while working alongside. He has lived a very simple life without any luxuries in order to save money for starting up his own business. He has now finally settled down his company and works day and night to progress.

He was very happy while giving me the news of his marriage as he had met the prospective bride and spoke to her at length. He had come to know that their thoughts matched and they had a lot of common interests. I am genuinely happy for my brother as his dream of starting a family has finally come true and we are excited to welcome one more member into our family.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Talk about a special date in your country history.

• Which date is it?
• Why is it special?
• What do you do on this date?
• What impact has it had on your country?

Sample Answer

My country has been through a lot of tough and great times and our calendars are marked with many important dates that correspond to many important events that India has witnessed. Possibly the most important date is 15 August 1947 and signifies a very important feeling of patriotism for each and every Indian. It was on this day that India got independence from the then 200-year-old British rule after innumerable sacrifices.

Furthermore, it was not a result any one person in particular. Thousands of important and influential people from villages, towns, and cities all over India had come together holding hands and raising their voice in unison against the oppressive British rule during the time. It was their efforts and the encouraging support of the common public that had led India to achieve its freedom.

My grandparents have told me various stories from the time and I have always been awestruck while listening to them and getting to know of the struggles and hardships of the people back then.

This day is celebrated by each Indian and inspires us to make our country proud and help it stand out on the world map. Indians embrace this day not only to celebrate the country’s freedom but also to pay homage and tribute to the sacrifices of all the freedom fighters who gave up their lives for the country’s sake. This day teaches us to envision a better India with each passing day of our lives and motivates every Indian to work towards it as a common goal.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Talk about a historical period you want to know more about.

• Which period is it?
• When did it occur?
• Why are you interested in it?
• Who all were involved in it?

Sample Answer

India has been through a lot of historical events under various rulers and governments. This has led to the long and highly interesting history of my country to be written for everyone to know and learn from. I am fond of reading history in general but the most fascinating period for me is from the year 1940 to 1947. It was the last phase of the Indian independence movement while being under British rule. The British rule in India lasted for nearly two hundred years. It was in 1947 on the fifteenth of August that India had finally gained its freedom from the oppressive and tyrannical British rule.

I am interested in gaining knowledge about all the proceedings that took place in this period as they increase my curiosity the most. I came across information on this era in my eighth-grade history book. Since then, I have spoken to my grandparents at length on this topic. They have told me many stories of freedom fighters standing up against the British army for their rights, apart from many of their own experiences during that time. I have also read many books and watched various movies and documentaries on this subject.

This period is full of various occurrences on a mass scale and involves sacrifices of innumerable freedom fighters who gave away everything to fight the British rule. During this time, our country was divided into two separate nations, and a new country named Pakistan came into existence. It is indeed one of the most important periods in the country’s history.
