SAMPLE ANSWER

Today, a wide range of transport are available and air travel is gaining popularity. More and more people are choosing to travel by planes. Here, I would like to talk about a person I know, who loves to travel by air. She is my former classmate, Shweta. She is an Assistant Professor, International Affairs at the South Asian University, New Delhi.

She is responsible for teaching cultural affairs and international relations to students coming from different South Asian Countries. Travelling to other countries to attend various seminars and conferences is an integral part of her job.

Even though we are not in the same profession, we share with each what’s happening in our day to day lives. She loves to talk about her experiences during her flights. Irrespective of the duration of flights she never gets bored during her air travel. The comforts and hospitality on board are the two things she enjoys the most. Her friendly nature attracts many people of different nationalities towards her while travelling. This has added to her experiences. Another thing that she likes about these plane journeys is the type of food offered during the flights.

Though my friend is a frequent traveler, she is super excited whenever she has to travel by plane. Her wonderful experiences always make me more inquisitive about her journeys. In fact very soon we are planning to go on a vacation together and she is going to plan our journey. I am looking forward to enjoying a plane journey with her.

IELTS Cue Card: Describe a mistake you made

February 13, 2020 Pooja Ph.D. CELTA

Describe a mistake you made
You should say:
• what the mistake was
• when you made it
• why you made it
• And explain how it affected you.

Sample Answer:

To err is human. Today, I’m going to talk about a mistake I made when I was in 6th class.

One day my sister was quite unwell. She was suffering from fever. There was only one doctor in my village and there were no mobile phones at that time. The only way to call the doctor was to send someone to fetch him. Unfortunately, my father had gone somewhere. My mother asked me to go to the doctor. Since it was quite cold and dark outside, I told her that I would fetch the doctor tomorrow.
In the night my sister’s condition deteriorated, her fever was touching the mark of 104-105 degree Fahrenheit. She started murmuring. That was the most difficult time for me and my mummy. I was cursing myself. If I had gone to the doctor on time, my sister would not have been in this situation.
I made this mistake without realizing that I was making a mistake. I was a child and I had no idea about how high fever can be life threatening for someone.
This incident affected me a lot. With God’s grace and my mother’s efforts, my sister survived. But, her complete recovery took a long time. Now, I am much more careful about health and I never ignore any kind of health problems.

IELTS Cue Card Questions # Practical Skills

February 8, 2020 IELTS Research

Practical Skills – skills are the things you can do better than most of the people, things that you excel at. So, practical skills are the ones that help you deal with real life problems efficiently. So, communication skills, teamwork or Microsoft office, these are the practical skills that help individuals in their lives. This time we are looking at a cue card that talks about practical skills.

Describe a practical skill you have. You should say:

what the skill is

how often you use it

who taught it to you

also, explain how it helps in your life.

SAMPLE ANSWER

I would like to talk about this one skill I learned as a child, unknowingly and have been using it in every part of my life.

Back in the 1990s, when computers were initially getting there a way to our lives my father taught me to write on a computer. I mastered the skill of typing without having to look at the keyboard. While studying, when other kids made notes on their notebooks, I prepared presentations for my chapters and read through them. I made notes on the Microsoft word and learned the diagrams on paint. Back then, their importance to me was not clear.

It was when I moved to my college and then corporates, when most people were struggling with presentations, I aced them. I could make good presentations from a huge data and explain it well. This has been with my life for almost a decade and has truly helped me.

As a software engineer, my work revolves around coding and it is so much of help when you can actually focus on the code and not be divided into deciding what to type and how to type! Even more, making design documents or for that matter analyzing data using Excel is a piece of cake for me.

I believe practical skills surely help an individual in later years of life and it is the responsibility of the school and parents to teach them to their folks.
