Describe a development in your city. (E.g. shopping center, club, etc.)

You should know:

• what development is it?
• where is it located?
• What are its features and benefits?
• How often do you visit it?

Sample Answer

I live in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand state. It is a prominent city in the region and is the home to many markets, complexes, and offices amongst other buildings. The most recent development in the city is the Promenade shopping complex which is the largest shopping mall in the city. It is located in the center of the city near the clock tower.

A huge and marvelous building with an all-glass front, it is splendid to look at. It is a five storey building with two extra floors dedicated to the parking space in the basement. It has many large showrooms occupied by different brands. Each floor has small shops, confectionaries and food vendors in the central area and a dedicated food court on the top floor. The place has a vibrant mix of colors with the ambient background lighting and other subtle décor materials.

It is a great place for an outing and offers a comfortable and eventful visiting experience. Besides the shops and showrooms the complex houses a cinema hall, a children’s playing area, and other modern amenities blended into the building. The staff is very nice and helpful, and the brands have all the latest products available. I have been to it many times with family and friends, and have enjoyed my visits thoroughly. I visit this complex mostly on the weekends for watching movies, shopping or having lunch in any cafe over there.

IELTS Cue Card: Describe a photo that you remember well.

You should say:

• Which photo is it?
• Why do you remember it?
• Why is it special?

Sample Answer

Photos are the best way to capture important moments in our lives. I have garnered a collection of many interesting photographs over the course of my life. These have been clicked in different places with different people, and mean a lot to me. The most special photograph in my collection is a picture of my family.

I distinctly remember the time it was taken. I live in a nuclear family and it is very rare to have a family get together as my father’s siblings and parents live far away in other cities. It was taken in May 2008 when my family had gathered for my cousin sister’s marriage. We all had come to Delhi at my grandfather’s place for the wedding and had a very good time. We were getting late for the reception ceremony on the last day, and after the morning chaos had died down and the family elders had fussed about small issues, we were ready to leave. My grandfather’s neighbor was a very cheerful person and jovially offered everyone to gather around for a family photograph. We all complied and the picture was successfully clicked after everyone settled down.

It is very special to me as it was the last photograph of my complete family. A few months after the wedding, my grandfather passed away, and my cousin brother left for his further studies abroad. Hence, May 2008 was the last time that we witnessed the complete family happy in togetherness, making the photograph a witness to that beautiful memory.

Something that you made by hand to give to your friend.

You should say:

• What did you make?
• How did you make it?
• Why did you give it to your friend?
• How did you feel about it?

Sample Answer

Art and craft are highly engaging and entertaining activities, and many people work on different arts and crafts during their leisure time. I also like doing art and craftwork such as pottery, origami, and painting. I am more involved with craft work, especially with toys and trinkets, and I have made a lot of small toys for toddlers.

I have a young friend in my neighborhood who plays cricket with me. While we were speaking one day, he told me about his fondness for cars. He also told me that almost all of his toys were cars, and he played a lot with them as well. At that moment, an idea struck me. I came back to my home and quickly took out a small battery operated motor that was lying around unused. My idea was to use that motor to make a homemade toy car and gift it to him. I went around the house in search of materials such as cardboard, nuts, bolts, bottle caps, wires, and batteries. After collecting all the items, I assembled the car and worked on it until I was satisfied with the result.

It took me two days to complete the toy car, fortunately in time for his birthday on the weekend. Thinking that it would be a sensible gift, I had painted it and gift wrapped it as well. On his birthday, I gave him the car as a gift, and he liked it a lot. He said that the gift meant a lot to him. Due to this, I felt elated and proud of my skill and my idea.

Talk about a special date in your country history

You should say:

• Which date is it?
• Why is it special?
• What do you do on this date?
• What impact has it had on your country?

Sample Answer

My country has been through a lot of tough and great times and our calendars are marked with many important dates that correspond to many important events that India has witnessed. Possibly the most important date is 15 August 1947 and signifies a very important feeling of patriotism for each and every Indian. It was on this day that India got independence from the then 200-year-old British rule after innumerable sacrifices.

Furthermore, it was not a result any one person in particular. Thousands of important and influential people from villages, towns, and cities all over India had come together holding hands and raising their voice in unison against the oppressive British rule during the time. It was their efforts and the encouraging support of the common public that had led India to achieve its freedom.

My grandparents have told me various stories from the time and I have always been awestruck while listening to them and getting to know of the struggles and hardships of the people back then.

This day is celebrated by each Indian and inspires us to make our country proud and help it stand out on the world map. Indians embrace this day not only to celebrate the country’s freedom but also to pay homage and tribute to the sacrifices of all the freedom fighters who gave up their lives for the country’s sake. This day teaches us to envision a better India with each passing day of our lives and motivates every Indian to work towards it as a common goal.
