Sample Answer

The world is progressing each day in all aspects and people are not only increasing innovation in terms of infrastructure but creativity as well. The prime core of infrastructure development lies in the buildings and such other structures. Builders and architects around the world have become highly creative in designing different buildings, converting this field into an art form. Many famous designers have pioneered in this arena, giving us beautiful buildings such as Burj Khalifa, World Trade Centre, White House, Shanghai tower, and many more. These buildings are highly beautiful and have various detailed aspects of their design that add to their grandeur.

I find all these buildings around the world highly fascinating. I would love to gather knowledge about their past history, the materials used, and the design inspiration. The one building that I like the most is the Burj Khalifa, a building located in Dubai. Also known as the tallest building in the world, it was built to be the centerpiece for Downtown Dubai. With an approximate height of 829 meters, it houses a variety of clients and businesses such as private suites and the Armani hotel.

The design of this tower is derived from Islamic architecture, and the outer shape is spiraling and the interiors are grand, well adorned with mesmerizing artwork in abundance. The nearby area is surrounded by a beautiful fountain and a park and the impressions of the building are unique and truly amazing. They also add a flair of an awe-inspiring idea to the locality and the city. The modern artwork, the shape, and the design of the building make this building my favorite.

IELTS cue card: How do old people spend their Leisure time?

July 22, 2025 IELTS Research

How do old people spend their leisure time?

Who they spend it with?

How often do they do it?

How do they like it?

Sample Answer

The way people spend their leisure time changes dramatically as they age. Old people mostly spend their time watching television or listening to the radio. I remember my grandfather wasn’t much interested in watching TV but he was big on the news. He used to listen to the news every night religiously, and then he would have a sort of round-table discussion over the current issues with his friends.

Another way old people get together is when they meet for a walk. They never miss a chance to catch up with their buddies while they get themselves some fresh air in the park every day. They would, actually, talk more but walk less. But it’s good, nonetheless. Old people need someone to talk to otherwise they feel all lonely and left out.

The third most common way of spending time for old people is -since most of them are grandparents- to have fun with their grandkids. In joint families, it’s mostly the grandparents who spend their time with the little children while their parents are busy at work. It is thought that since they were too busy while raising their own kids, old people now can sort of compensate it and enjoy their time frolicking with the toddlers.

IELTS Cue Card: Describe a television programme that you watch

July 22, 2025 IELTS Research

Describe a television programme that you watch.

You should say:

What kind of television programme it is?

What usually happens in the television programme?

Why you enjoy watching the television programme?

And explain why you would recommend the television programme to the other people.

Sample Answer:

I don’t watch TV so often but whenever I find a chance I always try and watch a show called “Kings of Restoration”. It is featured on the History Channel. It is a great show for anyone who has an interest in art and creativity.

The show starts with the announcement of the product received recently for restoration. Rick Dale, the owner and the host along with his team explores the product and tells about its current condition and what ideas they have for fixing it. They get a variety of products from old broken vending machines to automobiles. The whole team works hands in hands to get the original raw parts and prepare the required designs. The show telecasts the way they work on each of the old part.

I love watching this show for a number of reasons. I used to team up with my dad as a child and watch the whole series with uttermost fascination. So, this show holds memories with my dad. As both of us have a deep profound interest in machines and tools, we would often talk over our own suggestions and ideas while watching it.

This TV programme has also helped me come up with a lot of creative solutions for my old goods and helped me restore many items that weren’t in use. The best part about the show is always the ending scene when they finally give away the restored product to the owner. It leaves everyone of us including the customer enthralled and amazed. I recommend this show to everyone because it’s a perfect Sunday afternoon show for both the young and old. It not only entertains the viewers but also provides a lot of knowledge at the same time.

CUE CARD – Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste

July 21, 2025 IELTS Research

Speaking – Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste.

You should say:

When did you see it?

Where did you see it?

How you felt after seeing it?

Sample Answer

Plastic waste has become is a pressing global problem. I explicitly remember a time when I saw a lot of plastic waste.

Last year, my friends and I planned a trip to Goa, a place famous for its exquisite beaches and mesmerising sunsets. We had a lot of fun there and explored some interesting places. We went to one of the famous beaches in Goa. It was truly amazing and had beautiful spots.

We were completely lost in admiring the beauty of that place until we noticed a heap of plastic garbage near the beach. Undoubtedly, it was a blot on the beauty of that place. The worst part was that animals nearby were consuming the waste, which was very harmful for their health.

All of us were quite upset with what we saw. We decided to give that place a new look and make our trip memorable. Certainly, it was not a piece of cake, but we couldn’t just leave that mess behind. We were filled with firm determination to clean it, so we divided ourselves into two groups, which had different tasks. One group collected the waste and packed it in bags, while the other cleaned.

Watching us, other tourists joined us, and it became a big hit. We were able to clean the place within few hours. It was not less than a victory for each of us. The locals appreciated our efforts and apologised for the negligence they showed towards that place. They even assured us that from now on they would definitely take care of that place and would be vigilant about it.

Speaking -Part 3 (Follow up questions)

Here are some examples of follow-up questions that examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to the cue card ‘Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste’.

Q1. Why do people often like to use plastic?

I reckon, the ultimate reason why people use plastic is that it is durable. Depending upon the composition, most plastic items take years to decompose. Another reason why people prefer plastic is because it is cheaper than other options available, for example, jute or paper bags.

Q2. How can we reduce the use of plastic?

There are many things that can be done to reduce plastic consumption. For instance, we can opt for eco-friendly options like Jute bags in place of plastic bags. Apart from this, instead of using plastic containers or bottles, we can switch to steel or aluminium products.
