CUE CARD -DESCRIBE A JOB YOU WOULD NOT LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE

April 17, 2024 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

DESCRIBE A JOB YOU WOULD NOT LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE

You should say:

What is the job?
How you heard about it?
Why you don’t want to do it?
How you feel about the job?

Sample Answer

There are extremely few jobs available due to increased competition and growing employment crisis. No task is simple to complete; all tasks demand arduous work.

While some individuals have a dream job, others may not prioritize that. One such job role that I would never do is customer executive. But I find it too challenging. It appears simple, but I don’t think so. These experts handle a variety of tasks, such as taking phone calls, responding to inquiries from clients, and helping with problems that clients may be having. They seem to be under a lot of pressure to respond quickly, have nice conversations, show empathy, and figure out the right answers when they need them. Most importantly, most employers seek out workers who can work nights because of the nature of the jobs.

Another gap is that working at night becomes risky, especially for girls. The day is more exhausting when headphones are worn. A cousin of mine works as a customer service representative. One of my cousins works up to 10 or 11 hours a day as a customer service executive. Sundays are not his off days. They actually don’t get many holidays in a given year. He reveals that they have daily goals to meet and that their pay will be withheld if they don’t. One cannot ultimately look up to this profession for future growth because only a small number of employees in this sector get promotions. I would prefer working as a web developer.

CUE CARD -DESCRIBE A PERSON WHO LIKES TO TALK A LOT

April 12, 2024 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card) DESCRIBE A PERSON WHO LIKES TO TALK A LOT

You should say:

Who this person is?
How do you know him/her?
What he/she likes to talk about?
And explain how you feel about this person?

Sample Answer

I know a lot of people who are gregarious and can talk to people all day long. Among them is Naina, my cousin. She enjoys interacting with others and is an extrovert. Naina is the younger daughter of my maternal aunt; she is eleven years old and enrolled in the eighth grade. Naina has curly short hair, a gorgeous grin, and a fair complexion.

What I really like about her are her adorable, plump hands. She’s always talking, so everyone calls her a chatterbox. Naina can speak for hours on end about anything. She is an animal lover, particularly of dogs. I once witnessed her outside her home bandaging an injured dog.

Naina is a generous girl who always help people in need. She has a happy disposition that lifts everyone’s spirits. She enjoys viewing movies, and when she gives me the tale, I get the impression that I’ve watched the film. Naina can put a smile on anyone’s face and make any circumstance seem less stressful. She aspires to be a teacher and is an excellent student. She is an outgoing person who enjoys making new friends. Her parents and instructors have reprimanded her for this practice, but nothing has changed. When she’s around, nobody can get bored. She walks every morning since she is highly aware of her health. Her tendency to talk a lot has occasionally gotten her into a lot of trouble. I adore this adorable talkative person, therefore when she is silent, I sense a problem and find it bothersome.

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 person who likes to talk a lot.”

Q1. In your opinion, what makes a conversation enjoyable?

Answer. The most interesting conversations aren’t about news, or politics, or sports: they are about emotions. Listening to the other person’s opinion and sharing your views. The feeling of carefree exchange of information. Mutually sharing things that are potentially enriching.

Q2. How do you usually respond when someone talks a lot during a conversation?

Answer. I occasionally find it difficult to interrupt or voice my own opinions when someone is talking too much. In certain situations, I could find it difficult to find opportunities to add to the conversation, but I might still nod or occasionally offer affirmations to show that I’m present.

Q3. Do you think being a good listener is as important as being a good talker?

Answer. Of course it is important to be a good listener, I believe in order to be a good speaker one has to be a good listener. It makes it possible for people to interact more effectively, value differences in viewpoints, and support peaceful relationships.

Word	Meaning	Sentence
Gregarious	talkative	Radha is a gregarious girl
Disposition	Nature	Shika’s disposition is to always think negatively.

Childhood is the time when we create memories. There are many memorable events from
my childhood. One of those is a trip to Bhadraj temple. The place was located in the western region of Mussoorie. It was a quaint temple. I visited the place with my parents when I was 12 years old. I vividly remember we reached the destination after a long, hard journey and we hiked a gigantic mountain. we were all fatigued; however, the breathtaking view from the apex of the mountain was worth it. The snow-covered peaks of the great Himalayan range were visible from there. The temple was made out of pure white marble, situated just in the cradle of mother nature, and was a symbol of purity and calmness. Fortunately, the weather conditions became favourable and we experienced snowfall for the first time. My parents and I tasted the essence of authentic garhwali food which included chains and dubuk. We tried to capture as many mesmerising views as we could with our digital camera. The trip was the most memorable event from my childhood because I spent quality time with my parents and created lots of memories

CUE CARD – Describe a time when you observed the stars.

September 29, 2023 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a time when you observed the stars.

You should say:

What did you observe?

Who told you about them?

What impressed you the most?

Sample Answer

Since my childhood, I have been fond of exploring new places and things especially the solar system, planets, constellations and orions. . I still remember once my grandmother and I were on the terrace and making our beds; and just out of curiousity, I asked her about my late grandpa. I questioned her where he would be or whether he knows that I am grown up now. She smiled and said your grandpa is still up there and he has become a star. Actually, it was a pole star that my grandma was referring to. Because I was a science student, I was way too skeptical but considering her feelings, I kept on listening to her. It’s not just about the legends but I have always wondered that these stars are way too far that even light takes millions of years to reach out to us. In school, I studied about Big Bang Theory and how the life commenced afterwards. It would be really fascinating if I could ever look beyond our galaxy and see if live exists on the rest of the stars too!

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 time when you observed the stars’.

Q1. Have you ever watched a movie on planets?

Well, I am a Sci-Fi fan and I have binged tens of movies like Star wars,Gravity, Interstellar which based on stars or parallel universe. In fact, there is one such movie Martian that really changed my perspective and actually showed me there is always a silver line. I mean this guy was left accidentally by the fellow astronauts on the Mars alone. The movie is all about how he survives with the adverse weather or how he grows food there. I think it’s a worth to watch.

Q2. Do you feel students should study about stars?

Why not?! I think the deeper they know about the stars, planets or galaxies, the closer we would be to know if we are or have been the only civilization in this universe. They can get to know about various elements which are not even in our periodic table or about the upcoming threats to our planet. Afterall, our planet is quite wide open up there.

Word	Meaning	Example
Periodic table	A science chart where all the elements like oxygen, hydrogen are enlisted.	I learnt Periodic table today.
Skeptical	To be doubtful	I am skeptical about your decision.
