Describe A Website Which Helped You To Do Something/ Website You Visit Often/ Use Regularly.

You should say:

Which site is it ?

⁠How did you know about it ?

How it helped ?

Why do you visit it often ?

Sample Answer

In this era, there are a plethora of websites that we use nowadays. These websites are advantageous for us. Today I would like to talk about a website that I often use.
The website that I frequently visit is Diksha.com . It was introduced to me by my colleague during covid time. It provides a wide variety of educational courses for teachers. At the time of COVID 19, it was important for the teachers to keep themselves updated and to conduct online workshops for students. This website was programmed by the government of India and it consisted of numerous online courses .

The best part was that after the completion of the course you even get a certificate which was government approved. I did many courses from that website and it proved to be beneficial. It even had a course on AI which was the need of the hour. Courses such as human well being, environmental safety, child well being proved to be exquisite. I use it a lot. There’s always some new content to look at. And this website has been extremely helpful to me in gaining knowledge and always learning something new.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q.1 What are the most popular and least popular apps in your country ?

I think it’s nearly the same all over the world. The most popular ones would be social media apps like Facebook and Instagram. If I talk about least popular apps I would say Mozilla Firefox is used less these days as people usually use Google as a search engine.

Q.2 Are libraries still beneficial? Why or Why not ?

Libraries are much more than a place with some collection of books. It is a place which provides a calm environment and thus, helps a person to concentrate on their work rather than getting distracted by social media over phone.

Q.3 Can internet help children in their study ?

Yes, definitely. The internet is a vast ocean of knowledge if used in the correct way. Internet provides a wide range of educational sites which could prove to be beneficial.

Q.4 What is the difference between the internet and TV ?

I would say the main difference here would be of choice. One can easily select what to watch or read over internet as compared to TV.

IELTS Cue Card 2024: DESCRIBE A SKILL YOU ARE GOOD AT.

June 17, 2024 IELTS Research

Describe A Skill You Are Good At

You should say:

Where did you learn it from?

How do you benefit from it?

Are you getting better at it?

Have you taught it to someone?

Sample Answer

People develop special abilities to do something with enough practice. I have the capability to do many things, but something I am very good at is driving. As a child, I used to enjoy rides with my father, and I was always curious about how he did it. I wanted to learn to drive from my father, but he always told me to wait till I was old enough. The minimum driving age for a two-wheeler in my country is sixteen, but I couldn’t wait long enough. Once, my friend, who was allowed by his parents to drive, gave me a chance to get my hands on the steering wheel.

I was a bit nervous initially, but once the car started to move, I was thrilled. My father did help me get better at it and also helped me get a driving license. There are a lot of advantages to knowing how to drive. I save a lot of time when I take my own convenience to any place. Once, I drove my neighbor’s car when they needed to get to the hospital urgently.

I would say I am getting better at it because now I can drive for longer hours with fewer stops in between. Driving on steep turns on mountainous routes is not that complicated for me now. I also assist my father on long journeys during a family trip.
I did teach driving to my younger brother. It takes a lot of patience to teach something to a complete beginner. I am hopeful that he will be of help to others, and I also keep giving and taking driving-related tips.

Who is this person ?

What they inspired you to do ?

How they inspired you ?

How you feel ?

Sample Answer

In the tapestry of individuals who have influenced my life, my friend Eugene shines as a guiding light. He is a gym trainer by profession. I met him at the gym where I go regularly. In no time we became good friends and as one day, we were sharing our interests I came to know that he is good at playing the guitar and I told him I have always wanted to learn guitar but couldn’t get enough time out of the busy schedule. As it is complex and requires a lot of training. But he insisted me on pursuing my passion. So, I asked him if he could guide me and he agreed.

I was truly inspired to see that he managed to keep up his passion while working a full time job. He inspired me to learn the guitar. But I felt as I’m older now, it’s too late to learn. But he told me that age is just a number and that learning anything new requires consistent practice. I got so inspired by him that I got myself a guitar and starting taking online classes in order to learn the new instrument. I was astonished by my progress in a month and soon I started playing it for my family and friends. Somehow, I realized that it relaxes my mind and it has become one of my favorite things to do. I will always be greatful to Eugene for inspiring me and helping me pursue my passion.

According to me at an early age, parents and teachers motivate children the most. Somehow, teachers and parents become a role model for these toddlers. But, as they grow up they start idolizing actors or sports personalities.

Teachers play a vital role in encouraging young minds, as they act as role models. So, I believe teachers can motivate children by recognizing there efforts and allowing them to explore their curiosity.

IELTS Cue Card 2024: Describe an advertisement that you don’t like.

June 15, 2024 IELTS Research

Describe an advertisement that you don’t like.

You should say:

When did you see it ?

What is it about ?

Where you saw it/ how you came to know about it ?

Why you didn’t like it ?

Sample Answer

Well, I generally don’t like to watch many advertisements because I believe they are simply a waste of time & in turn lure people to buy unnecessary items. Although some ads are quite informative and genuine, but at the same time most of them just provide fake scenarios. Today, I would like to talk about one such advertisement which I really dislike whenever it is on air. It is an advertisement about Pan masala. It is endorsed by the top most celebrities of our country. They present that deadly tobacco packets in such a way that it lures the youngsters of the nation to try it. The people of our country are very much into imitating the doings of some famous celebrities, and when these deadly cancer causing products are showcased by them, it is hard for people to resist. The pan masala is said to be saffron-infused and designed under the theme of “Daane-Daane Mein Kesar Ka Dam”. Although the precautions clearly state that it contains tobacco and it may cause cancer. I believe these big shots should not promote such deadly products which affects the health of the people. It contains portions of tobacco, hence it is highly recommended to place it within reach of children. After having several warnings the product is still endorsed as a fit to consume item. I feel disheartening because such a dangerous product is endorsed by the idols of our country and this fascinated the teenagers, which in turn affect their overall health. Nowadays, this ad can be seen on most of the social networking sites like YouTube and Instagram. I wish there was a method that allowed us to ban several ads if they use false means to sell the product.
