Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a positive change in your life

You should say:

What the change was about?

When it happened?

How it happened?

And describe how it affected you later in life

Sample Answer

Since my childhood, I was in the impression that being from a metropolitan named Delhi, makes me superior to others and gives me an upper edge. I would always treat my mates, belonged to Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities, in a not so welcoming manner. Until, I came across this girl, Anjali. She put up from one of the remotest areas of Uttarakhand. The kind of command over English she possessed, yet the humbleness she had in herself, was truly inexplicable. She really made me think that being better at one skill or being an urban guy doesn’t make you an elite personality. I, who always procrastinated my tasks yet boasted stolen thunders, actually pondered over it, in fact, I had to. Well, eventually, I endeavoured to be like her. I began to see everyone from the same prism. Seems like, now, I have started giving priority to assessments over judgements.

Q1. Do you feel youngsters should have right attitude towards money?

Indeed, one has to be familiar with the fact that earning money needs time and efforts. Merely, having it isn’t suffice. Maintaining and managing it is also a skill. Especially, adolescents, who are always quite vulnerable towards baffling arrays of life, needs to be cautious while spending.

Q2. Do you agree: love of money is the root cause of all evil?

Well, if not an evil, surely one of the catalysts that pushes you to be. I mean have a look at the criminal cases like robbery, theft, and some of the murders, happen to seem like just one cause behind and that’s money. Love to earn and make it double isn’t a concern, but when this love turns into greed, surely it is lethal.

Word	Meaning	Example
Baffle	confusing	It always baffles me to pick between science and commerce.
Lethal	that can cause a great damage	It’s quite lethal to smoke.

Teasers in almost all movies are intriguing, but sometimes the actual movie turns out to be the opposite of it.

The film generated immense excitement among the viewers but ultimately failed to impress the audience. The movie tried to blend action with a historical context. However, it suffered from a weak and boring plot that struggled to maintain sense. even the versatile actors couldn’t save it from the criticism it received. Despite investing, high production value “Thugs of Hindustan” failed to deliver a compelling narrative and engaging characters which led viewers to delusional

CUE CARD -DESCRIBE A HOUSE OR APARTMENT YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN

March 6, 2026 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card) DESCRIBE A HOUSE OR APARTMENT YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN

You should say:

What is it like?
Where would it be?
Why would you like to live in this house/apartment?
How do you feel about this house/apartment?

Sample Answer

Home is where the heart is and having a own house is on the top of my bucket list. Ideally, I don’t fantasize about living in a house that is too spacious. Rather, I’d love to reside in an abode that allows me to have my peace of mind all day long.

Firstly, it will be a one-storied bungalow inspired by the design of the Victorian Era. I want my house to be on the slap bang of the city, surrounded by nature. The covered area should be 2000 sq. Ft and it would have 5 rooms with one master bedroom. Every room would have a balcony from where beautiful views of snow- covered mountains is visible. There should be enough empty space around so that I can have a perfect view of the mesmerizing surroundings.

Apart from this, I am really desiring that my house should be loaded with all sorts of mod cons. Including, a gym, a gigantic pool, a game Centre with a home theatre with recliners and a table tennis table to help me enjoy my time during my free time. At the top of it, I really desire a large L- shaped kitchen with a glass cabinet, dishwasher and a 12- seater dining table. Finally, in the open space there should be separate parking slots for the 4 wheelers.

I would love to reside in this apartment because it will be filled with all the comforts anyone could dream of. Besides, it would allow me to stay close to nature and far away from hustle and bustle of city.

Q2. Do young people in your country like to live with their parents or by themselves?

Answer. Mostly the younger generation in my country prefer to live with their parents as they provide constant support and guidance for their child. They do move out of their homes in situations where they have to pursue higher studies or if they have better career prospects outside in some other city or country.

Mesmarizing	Something that catches or holds your attention.	She had the most mesmerizing blue eyes.
