IELTS CUE CARD # Describe something you bought but did not use much.

April 4, 2022 IELTS Research

IELTS SPEAKING TASK # CUE CARD

Describe something you bought but did not use much.
You should say:

What you bought?

When you bought it?

Why you bought it?

and explain why you didn’t use it much.

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Sometimes, we buy things we think we actually need but we regret that later. Being an impulsive buyer, I usually end up buying things that seem attractive at first but later I realize their futility. Not long ago, I bought a fancy home theatre system for my room. Though my parents were totally against it, I somehow convinced them to let me buy one. It was a newly launched Japanese company’s home theatre system.

Recently, when my room was getting renovated, I wanted to bring some changes to it. After convincing my parents, it kept an accurate consideration of the space required for the home theatre. To install the system, the walls and ceiling of my room needed modification so that it looked completely fit with the surrounding. Therefore, I got my room renovated coming the home theatre in mind.

Being a movie enthusiast, I always dreamt of having a home theatre installed in my house so that I could binge watch my favorite films and TV series. When I saw its advertisement, it really fascinated me. It was the most advanced Home theatre system in the market which offered an excellent audio quality. The realistic 3D sound effect promised theatre like experience.

After using it for a few weeks, I got preoccupied with studies and used it very occasionally. Rearranging the entire system for every use used to be very unhandy for me. As I’m not very technically sound, I find difficulty operating the system due to which I use it very rarely.

Sample Answer

I am a party lover. I am very popular among my friends and family to make every party a huge success.

I have been to many parties where I enjoyed a lot. One of the parties which I can never forget was a reception party of my best friend.

Last year my best friend got hitched to love of his life. Our whole friend circle was very happy and excited for his wedding as we all witnessed his struggle to get married with that girl. It was a thrilled journey with lots of ups and downs and finally, they both managed everything and tied a knot.

My friend threw his reception party in Goa, a place known for its most happening parties around the world. Goa was on top in all of ours bucket list. We always wanted to visit Goa along with friends. However, unusually, college days had been very hectic for us and after that all of us got busy in our professional lives. We could not get an opportunity to plan a visit to Goa together. To keep in mind all of ours dream to visit Goa, my friend decided to throw that party in Goa. On a sunny day, at one of the most famous beaches of Goa, all the preparations were made to celebrate this auspicious occasion. We were all gathered there to be a part of his new journey.

His wedding reception became a great reason for all one of us to meet with each other after a long time. We spent a quality time there. That party had all the arrangements to cater the need of every age group of people. We enjoyed his reception party thoroughly as well as relived our college life moments.

IELTS CUE CARD # Describe the person who impressed you the most when you were in primary school

Sample Answer :

Children often have a tendency to choose their role models, by whom they are highly impressed. His mannerisms and qualities are considered to be flawless and perfect, and often serve as the reference point for the children, to build upon their character. When I was in primary school, I was fascinated by our headmistress, Mrs. Robinson.

Since she was our headmistress, therefore she was in charge of every activity in the primary wing of our school. She used to address the assembly, every morning, in auditorium. I happened to meet her for the first time, when she appointed me as the head boy of primary wing. Once appointed, I needed to summon up the daily attendance and performance report to her desk, in her office.

Well, Ma’am always used to dress elegantly and had a unique penchant of presentation. She had an impressive English oration and an enriched vocabulary collection, which made her concise and precise in her communication. She was a very prudent decision maker and an able administrator. Her leadership skills in running the school were very impressive. She was a strict martinet in matters of academic and sports performance. She exposed the children to various cultural and educational, interactive programmes, which were very beneficial. She used to teach us English too. Her ability to make the students understand, the basics of learning a language, were very simple and highly effective. I give full credentials to Ma’am, for offering me such a strong foundation in English proficiency. Moreover, she stressed on the importance of time table and discipline in life, most essential tools to achieve success. She inculcated the basic civic sense and instilled tremendous confidence in us.

I feel blessed by her mentorship. Her pedagogy was significantly helpful to me in several spheres of life. I thank her for everything I learnt from her in my childhood.

Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 Why do children make role models?

Sample answer: Childhood and specially adolescence is the age of confusion and self-doubt. There is a constant conflict between dependency and personal freedom. Value system undergoes a major scrutiny, whereby, one’s own validated norms and values are established. In such a state of uncertainty, young people cling to someone who they feel good in justified sense. Then they start imitating the person and try to impersonalize his style.

Q. 2 What is the first aspect of impression?

Sample answer: The very first aspect of impression is physical personality and the manner of communication. Physical built up is the first thing, one observes in a person in the first meeting. It is the suaveness in the speech and manners that impresses next. True character and attitude become the impression indices, only after growing familiarity with the concerned person.

Q. 3 Do the role models change for the primary standard students?

Sample answer: I think, they may or may not. A child studying in a primary standard is too susceptible and sensitive to the novel phenomena exhibited by the people. Therefore, there is a fair probability, that a child likes a person on one day and the next day he starts admiring some other person because of the different qualities. So, in this way, he can even have multiple role models. For instance, a sports minded child may be impressed by Mike Tyson and Usain Bolt equally.

IELTS CUE CARD # Speak about a gift you would like to buy for your friend

Sample Answer :

I have Ajay as my best friend. Most of the time he stays in India and I have to go to places abroad, as per the demands of my marketing job. Due to this, we get the chance to meet, only occasionally. But, otherwise, we have regular chats and video sessions, as such. He has picked up jogging very seriously, recently. He has this problem of bent feet, that are uncomfortable even in the super branded sports shoes. He often complains about the pain in feet, so one day, I made queries to find out a shoe parlour in Italy, where they have a rich experience of designing customized shoes as per the requirements. I am currently located in Switzerland. Therefore, I can easily get those shoes availed in Italy. As I have mentioned, I have chosen those particular shoes, as I feel those as the perfect requirement for him right now, so he can get well with his running after I gift him those shoes.

His birthday is coming in next month. I have decided, that I should send him the courier with this special pair of shoes on his birthday. By that time, it would also be feasible for me to locate those shoes in Italy and make arrangements for shipping.

I am sure, he would be delighted, after seeing this surprise on his birthday. I can understand the trouble he is persistently facing with his sports shoes. He has left no brand untried, whichever is available in India. He has searched on net, for customized shoes and came to know only ambiguously, that the shoes can be found somewhere in Europe. It was then, when he asked me to find out from locals in Europe. After gifting him those shoes, I shall be feeling very satisfied to see my friend happily comfortable. I will feel, that the effort made to handpick these particular shoes from a place far away from India, has been fructified.

STRONG WORDS

Ambiguous	unclear: Children facing board exams are ambiguous about new exam pattern

Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 When do we generally exchange gifts?

Sample answer: Only on some special occasions like anniversary, birthday or on some festivities like Diwali, Eid do we exchange gifts with our close friends and relatives.

Q. 2 What is the importance of Gifts?

Sample answer: Gifts are the things, which may be of some utility or purely for entertainment. They are chosen as per the special liking of the person. I think, gifts acts as souvenirs or symbolic gestures that represent the feelings of one person for other. They actually represent the love, kindness, compassion and empathy for the person. Whenever one looks at the gift, he will remember the person who gifted that particular gift.

Q. 3 Do you thing expensive gifts are better than the ordinary ones?

Sample answer: No, I don’t think like that. I believe it is the feelings and emotions that matter the most in presentation of a gift. Expensive gifts are not necessarily the better ones. Take for instance, when I finished my graduation, my friend gifted me a watch. It may not be that expensive watch but it symbolized his emotions for me and his advice to me to stay updated with time. So, the price factor did not matter at all.
