IELTS Cue Card 2024: Describe a website which helped you to do something/ website you visit often/ use regularly.

 Describe A Website Which Helped You To Do Something/ Website You Visit Often/ Use Regularly.

You should say:

  • Which site is it ?
  • ⁠How did you know about it ?
  • How it helped ?
  • Why do you visit it often ?

Sample Answer

In this era, there are a plethora of websites that we use nowadays. These websites are advantageous for us. Today I would like to talk about a website that I often use.
The website that I frequently visit is Diksha.com . It was introduced to me by my colleague during covid time. It provides a wide variety of educational courses for teachers. At the time of COVID 19, it was important for the teachers to keep themselves updated and to conduct online workshops for students. This website was programmed by the government of India and it consisted of numerous online courses .

The best part was that after the completion of the course you even get a certificate which was government approved. I did many courses from that website and it proved to be beneficial. It even had a course on AI which was the need of the hour. Courses such as human well being, environmental safety, child well being proved to be exquisite. I use it a lot. There’s always some new content to look at. And this website has been extremely helpful to me in gaining knowledge and always learning something new.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q.1 What are the most popular and least popular apps in your country ?

I think it’s nearly the same all over the world. The most popular ones would be social media apps like Facebook and Instagram. If I talk about least popular apps I would say Mozilla Firefox is used less these days as people usually use Google as a search engine.

Q.2 Are libraries still beneficial? Why or Why not ?

Libraries are much more than a place with some collection of books. It is a place which provides a calm environment and thus, helps a person to concentrate on their work rather than getting distracted by social media over phone.

Q.3 Can internet help children in their study ?

Yes, definitely. The internet is a vast ocean of knowledge if used in the correct way. Internet provides a wide range of educational sites which could prove to be beneficial.

Q.4 What is the difference between the internet and TV ?

I would say the main difference here would be of choice. One can easily select what to watch or read over internet as compared to TV.

IELTS Cue Card 2024: Describe a person who inspired you to do something interesting.

  Describe a person who inspired you to do something interesting. 

You should say:

  • Who is this person ?
  • What they inspired you to do ?
  • How they inspired you ?
  • How you feel ?

Sample Answer

In the tapestry of individuals who have influenced my life, my friend Eugene shines as a guiding light. He is a gym trainer by profession. I met him at the gym where I go regularly. In no time we became good friends and as one day, we were sharing our interests I came to know that he is good at playing the guitar and I told him I have always wanted to learn guitar but couldn’t get enough time out of the busy schedule. As it is complex and requires a lot of training. But he insisted me on pursuing my passion. So, I asked him if he could guide me and he agreed.

I was truly inspired to see that he managed to keep up his passion while working a full time job. He inspired me to learn the guitar. But I felt as I’m older now, it’s too late to learn. But he told me that age is just a number and that learning anything new requires consistent practice. I got so inspired by him that I got myself a guitar and starting taking online classes in order to learn the new instrument. I was astonished by my progress in a month and soon I started playing it for my family and friends. Somehow, I realized that it relaxes my mind and it has become one of my favorite things to do. I will always be greatful to Eugene for inspiring me and helping me pursue my passion.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q.1 What motivates children the most ?

According to me at an early age, parents and teachers motivate children the most. Somehow, teachers and parents become a role model for these toddlers. But, as they grow up they start idolizing actors or sports personalities.

Q.2 How can teachers motivate children ?

Teachers play a vital role in encouraging young minds, as they act as role models. So, I believe teachers can motivate children by recognizing there efforts and allowing them to explore their curiosity.

Q.3 How is it different from teaching kids ?

Motivated students are more excited to participate in class as, their thought processing gets high because of the motivation. Whereas, unmotivated students can disrupt the whole class.

Q.4 What should teenagers have?

These days it is very challenging to  motivate teenagers. So, they need to feel accepted and valued by their friends. Parents need to keep a watch on them and respect their independence.

IELTS Cue Card 2024: Talk about a time when you gave advice to someone

Talk about a time when you gave advice to someone

You should say:

  • who did you give advice to?
  • what advice did you give?
  • why did you give advice?
  • How was it helpful and how did he/she feel about it?

 

Sample Answer

Advice is information that has the potential to positively impact life. Many relate it to finance and education. However, it has broader concepts like managing life, fixing relationships, and many more. However, one must be mindful before seeking advice and putting it to use. Today, I will be sharing a situation where my advice helped my friend Maya get back on the right track in life.

Six months ago, I received a call from my school friend, Maya. I got to know that she had moved to Australia for her further studies. When I inquired about her life in Australia, she started crying. I didn’t know what to do, but somehow, I calmed her down and requested that she share her agony. Maya broke down and mentioned that she feels home-sick and wants to head back to India. She further added that buying groceries was the only reason for her to step out of home; Maya had stopped attending her classes, which resulted in low marks in all her subjects. She explained that her health was declining too. After listening to her, I first asked her to relax and consoled her. I added that moving and settling in another country is indeed an onerous task; however, a lot of people manage it with ease, and she is not less than anyone. She was constantly asking me to help her. Looking after her health must be her first priority. I firmly told her to stop skipping meals and start mediating to attain peace and calm. Secondly, she should attend her classes at least five days a week and try to make friends with her classmates. Lastly, she should keep herself engaged by doing part-time work. Maya and I made a deal that she would follow this for a month, and if it didn’t help, she would return.

After a month, she called me, and this time she sounded better. She started attending her classes daily, taking good care of her health, and soon will start her part-time job at a library. Maya added that she has decided to continue this routine further and thanked me for guiding her in the right direction. I was happy that I was able to help her.

Word Meaning Sentence
Onerous difficult It was onerous to handle toddlers at the party.
Offspring child Lions offspring are the cutest.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q1. What kind of advice do parents give to their children?

Parents usually guide their children about studies and expect their children to perform better in life. Choosing wise friends and making good decisions in life are the most important pieces of advice that every child gets from his or her parents. Parents always wish the best for their offspring, so they want the best for their kids.

Q2. What advice do parents give to teenagers about making friends?

Parents want their kids to be able to recognize those who genuinely care about their interests. Parents want their kids to develop friendships with somebody they can rely on and be open and honest with.

Q3. How helpful is it to ask for advice before making a decision? 

I believe it is one of the wisest things one can do, as it is always prudent to consider or take opinions before concluding any action. After all, ultimately, it’s on us to choose, so having a variety of perspectives should make it simpler for us to pick wisely.
