IELTS Cue Card: Describe a television programme that you watch

Describe a television programme that you watch.

You should say:

What kind of television programme it is?

What usually happens in the television programme?

Why you enjoy watching the television programme?

And explain why you would recommend the television programme to the other people.

Sample Answer:

I don’t watch TV so often, but whenever I find a chance, I always try and watch a show called “Kings of Restoration”. It is featured on the History Channel. It is a great show for anyone who has an interest in art and creativity.

The show starts with the announcement of the product received recently for restoration. Rick Dale, the owner and the host, along with his team, explores the product and tells about its current condition and what ideas they have for fixing it. They get a variety of products, from old broken vending machines to automobiles. The whole team works hand in hand to get the original raw parts and prepare the required designs. The show telecasts the way they work on each of the old parts.

I love watching this show for a number of reasons. I used to team up with my dad as a child and watch the whole series with uttermost fascination. So, this show holds memories with my dad. As both of us have a deep, profound interest in machines and tools, we would often talk over our own suggestions and ideas while watching it.

This TV programme has also helped me come up with a lot of creative solutions for my old goods and helped me restore many items that weren’t in use. The best part about the show is always the ending scene when they finally give away the restored product to the owner. It leaves every one of us, including the customer, enthralled and amazed. I recommend this show to everyone because it’s a perfect Sunday afternoon show for both the young and old. It not only entertains the viewers but also provides a lot of knowledge at the same time.

IELTS Cue Card – A friend from childhood you remember very well

A friend from childhood you remember very well.

You should know:

When and how did you first meet this friend?

What did you like to do together?

What did you have in common?

Sample Answer

Friendship is a beautiful relation that touches everyone’s lives in a different way. I too have had many amazing people as my friends, especially during my childhood. I can recall many such friends who were very close to me, but the closest one was Smith.

He was my best friend for a better part of my childhood. I met him when I was 6 years old. He lived in the neighbourhood just two houses away from ours. I met him on the first day in the society garden. I was roaming about aimlessly when he appeared and asked me if I live here. We started talking and discovered a lot of common things to talk about. Soon became the best buddies for almost 7 years until his family moved to another state. We had a lot of matching thoughts and hobbies. We both liked playing video games, collecting comic books, watching cartoons; and reading stories, amongst other activities. We used to go to school and many other outings together. We also played and studied together at both our homes.

Our goals in the future were also the same, as we both wanted to become teachers when we grew up. We even had a similar taste in food and dressing ideas. This friendship was important to me to such an extent that I considered him my sibling more than a friend. He was the only neighbouring kid who I spent the maximum amount of my time with. The best part is all the memories that we created together and the fact that I still cherish them in my heart.

What is happening in the photograph?

When and Why was it taken?

And describe the photograph in detail.

IELTS Speaking latest cue card 2020. Describe a picture or a photograph in your home /room that you likeWhat is it about?

Sample Answer

Photographs capture moments in time clearer than our memories are capable of. Humans have used photographs in abundance in the past decade to try and capture life’s most important and most trivial moments. This has led to a fad of over-documentation, often at the cost of missing reality to be able to capture it virtually.

Today I will talk about a very special photograph of me when I was around the age of 5. In the image, I am seen sitting on ‘Santa Claus’s’ lap for a special Christmas event in a fully decked-out mall. Behind it, one can make out a giant Christmas tree adorned with fairy lights and baubles and giant piles of decorative presents underneath.

My likeness can be seen wrapped up in a warm shawl and my very favourite red cap, rosy cheeks and the biggest grin as I have just whispered to ‘Santa’ my wish. ‘Santa’ had on a heavy blush, a nose red enough to make even Rudolf blush, and the classic half-foot-long white misty beard cum moustache.

The event was held every year on the days leading up to Christmas. In most major malls, parents would take their children to see a friendly volunteer as ‘Santa’, who would listen to all the kids’ dreams, laugh a big belly laugh and give his blessings. Some days book readings were also conducted.

Back when the photo was taken, our family had just moved there and was unfamiliar with this custom, for it was our first Christmas in a Christian country. My parents tell me the photo might never have taken place had they not delayed their last-minute gift shopping. But I am glad the events played out the way they did; else, today I would not have this heartwarming image sitting framed in a cheesy glitter and mistletoe frame on our mantelpiece. It is a reminder to always smile and keep going; that is one image which will never become a waste of space.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Some photographs are for decoration while some capture the best moments of our lives and keep our memories of those cherished moments alive. A few months ago, I was going through my collection of photo albums when a family photo caught my attention. It is one of my favourite photographs where I am standing with my parents in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It was taken several years ago when I visited Paris with my parents as a child. I got it framed recently, and it is placed on the wall above the study table in my bedroom.

Whenever I look at the picture, it reminds me of the good times I had with my parents, especially during that particular vacation abroad. I remember vividly; it was my birthday, and this trip to see the Eiffel Tower was a gift from my parents. I can clearly recall how my parents had a small celebration near the water fountains and rows of flowers, where this picture was taken. It was one of the best birthday celebrations I ever had as a child.

My parents have grown old now, and when I see this photo, it brings back fond memories of my childhood. I don’t see them often now, as I have moved to another city, and whenever I miss them, I have a look at the photograph. It doesn’t let me feel lonely, and I feel them around me. Seeing my parents extremely young and lively in it brings a gentle smile on my face!
