October 15, 2025 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a successful small business.

You should say:

Who runs the business/how do you know about this business?

What is the business?

Where is it?

Explain why you think it is successful

Sample Answer

India’s economy is thriving. Nowadays, most people would rather work for themselves than an employer. People have established numerous tiny businesses, and now I’ll discuss one of their enterprises in my nation: jaywalking. Jay Jajhal, a youthful entrepreneur, founded the quick fashion company Jaywalking in 2016. He was raised in a family of aspirational lower-middle-class parents. He was a typical young man academically. Later, at the University of Mumbai, he pursued a bachelor’s degree in fashion design. He decided to start his firm after discovering his interest in business while studying fashion design. His clothing was extremely rare and had custom designs, which immediately made this brand popular. Regular consumers of this brand include actors Ranveer Singh, Amitabh Bachchan, Scoutt, Shubhman Gill, and many more. The vast customer base that this company has gathered in a short amount of time is the primary factor in determining its success. Additionally, this company works on many humanitarian issues and hires women. This company has been entirely self-funded up to this point and hasn’t received a single round of investment. The founder has plans to diversify the product line and appeal to clients around the world in the future. In conclusion, Jaywalking is among the fastest-growing businesses worldwide, and the quality of their goods surpasses that of many pricier clothing labels.

Sample Answer

In our warehouse, I came across an old ceramic pot. The scrapper comes every last Sunday of the month, and my father was selling some scraps to him. I was assisting my dad in clearing out the unwanted items from our storage area. From there, we were removing a number of damaged and useless objects. As I was clearing, I noticed a pot that was in horrible state resting amid the garbage.

I took it to my father after picking it up. He informed me that his grandfather purchased it, to store pickles, but it is now useless. I asked to keep it with me, and he granted my request. I had to clean it a lot because it was in the worst possible state. I succeeded after giving it succeeded after giving it multiple soap and water washes. The pot was a stunning specimen of old art, with its dark tone and finely painted designs.

My father looked at it for a long time and grinned when I showed it to him. He claimed it brought back memories of his granddad. In my room, I utilized it as a flower planter. The family’s collective gasp at the exquisite conversion of a shred into a gorgeous pot was shared by all. It’s my favourite pot out of all of them, and I still have it in my room. It’s really family oriented, thus I will always keep it in my room.

IELTS Cue Card # Talk about a product from your hometown

October 4, 2025 IELTS Research

IELTS Cue Card # Talk about a product from your hometown

Talk about a product from your hometown.

You should say:

What it is

How it is made

What it is used for

And explain its significance in your hometown

IELTS CUE CARD Talk about a product from your hometown

Sample Answer

Today I will talk about a product from my hometown. I come from a small village in Ghana, my native lands have a rich history in handicrafts production and development. But for now I shall focus on the most versatile of them all; the basket.

Our handmade baskets were traditionally made from fibrous materials such as plant roots, backwoods, vines, banana leaves, cane and papyrus. These were naturally decomposable if rather flimsy. A good basket made in the traditionally manner could last two to five years. Now however, baskets are commonly made of plastic, wire, and in some cases, recycled materials. These have a far longer lifespan and not all are eco-friendly.

When I refer to a “basket” I imply a woven material crafted into all manner of shapes for all manner of different uses. Most young girls are taught from a young age how to braid these materials into cases, trunks, jar like containers, jewellery boxes, carry bags, winnows; anything with in the realm of possibility.

That’s why you can never find two identical genuine handmade baskets. There will always be something different among them, be it the structure, pattern, shape, lid, row count or material, anything can vary.

The art of crafting baskets is a cherished tradition. With the tourism industry booming, handmade baskets are a very good income for a rural household. This also gives some power back to the females of the village, in a male-dominated society, they still have a voice, because it is their craft keeping the family afloat. During farming season, the grains are winnowed and sifted.

The grains, herbs and spices are stored in cases and jars. They are transported in carry bags to the market. There is hardly a task in my village one can think of that does not pay homage to the art of weaving.

In this way, the basket is more than just a product for our village, it is survival, it is our voice, and it is our craft. (333 Words)

neem-tree Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in dehradun

Sample Answer

Nature has been the primary resource for fulfilling all kinds of basic human needs. It is also highly beneficial due to its applications in healthcare. There is a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and plants that offer various health related benefits. Some plants are rare, while some are very common, and are found everywhere in a particular region, such as tulsi.

One such common plant is Azadirachta indica, commonly known as neem plant or Indian lilac. Neem is a fast-growing, evergreen tree, and reaches a height of 20 meters. The branches are long and wide, with toothed, pinnate leaves. It has white and fragrant flowers, and small, olive like, drupe shaped fruits that are bittersweet in taste.

The neem plant is native to the Indian subcontinent, and not only does it survive, but also thrives in less water. Furthermore, it can grow in different kinds of soil, and is a tropical or subtropical tree. This plant can resist high temperatures, but not very low temperatures. Furthermore, it can be found almost everywhere in India, growing in gardens, temples, parks, roadsides, and other public places. Known for its thick foliage, it is grown for its shade in different outdoor seating areas.

I find it very useful due to its long list of usage possibilities and medicinal benefits. The leaves are used in cooking different vegetables, salads, and pickling. Neem is highly beneficial and possesses many medicinal qualities. Its leaves are used to cure skin diseases, and the oil is used to keep healthy hair, for improving liver function, blood detoxification, along with balancing blood sugar levels. Neem twigs are used as natural toothbrushes and tongue cleaners. It has other applications such as in cosmetics, and sanitary products.
