IELTS CUE CARD – Describe a place where you want to read and write apart from your home

Describe a place where you want to read and write apart from your home

what is it

where is it

why do you go there to read and write

SAMPLE ANSWER

There are many places apart from my home where I read and write. One such place is my college library. It’s a new library that has been recently built in the college premises. The building is a beautiful structure with three floors. Each floor is dedicated to different genre of books. On the third floor there is a cafeteria and books for children to pass their leisure time. The students can bring their children as well.

I believe it’s a great initiative to inculcate reading habits in them. The furniture provided there is also very comfortable. This library provides several dedicated work stations with computers and internet connection. Besides that it also has online resources which the students can access and also save the relevant data on their laptops and other devices. All these features make it different from traditional libraries. In fact many students are attracted to visit this library for reference work.

I am studying a course in Travel and Tourism which requires a lot of research on other countries. The library has the latest collection of books on tourism industry. Some books are for reference only and can’t be borrowed so I often visit here to make notes. During my exams I go there every day as it helps me concentrate better than home. I love the ambience of the library. The librarian is also very helpful. He is always ready to search the required books for the students who come here.

Many of my friends also visit this library for making notes and consulting books for their research work. I believe it is one of the best places in the campus of the college to read and study peacefully.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Questions # Perfect Holiday

December 13, 2025 IELTS Research

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. True it is in all sense. Work is definitely the most important part of our lives but only work often makes our lives dull and mundane. This is the reason most people take holidays, sometimes to spice up there lives and more often to

What would your perfect holiday look like? You should say –

where would it be?

whom would you go with?

how would you spend it?

also, explain, why do you think it would be perfect?

SAMPLE ANSWER ONE

My perfect holiday would most likely be in a snow decked winter
landscape. Somewhere cold, sunny and high up view to behold.

I would go with my sister, she too adores the fresh mountain
air. And I am sure my cousins would love to tag along, together we would be a
really rowdy bunch. We would go skiing, sledging and ice skating. I can just
imagine their faces when they slip up on the ice, me laughing with them.

We would go to the Christmas Carnival and have delicious hot
chocolate while joking about how are feet are going to freeze off. Baking
cookies and watching some movies when it gets too cold out, all huddled up
together. Making blanket forts after long days of snowball fights and building
snowmen are some other things I imagine we
would do.

It would be perfect, because we would all be together, having
the time of our lives as a family. There is nothing more I could ask for.

SAMPLE ANSWER TWO

Holidays have been an important part of my life. Not only do I like giving it to others, I enjoy them for myself as well. They could be either group trips or solo trips. But, my perfect holiday would be on an all India tour all by myself. It has been my dream for a very long time to be able to travel across India and write down the stories of the country. Of meeting new people and getting to know their stories.

I would start off from my base location and move ahead towards the east. Traveling across all the east, and moving towards north, west and then south. It will be all an all travel to the different cities, the major festivals, major temples, and more importantly the common people of the place. I want to meet all those people and then interview them. Get to know their stories and write about it.

If I am able to do this holiday, it would be the best thing to happen to me. Not because, it will be a big one, but because it would be for me a dream come true. Knowing my country, and getting to know its past, present, and future is what makes this holiday perfect for me.

CUE CARD – Describe a time when you lost your way

December 12, 2025 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a time when you lost your way.

You should say:

When and where did it happen?

How did you feel when you were lost?

How did you find your way out?

With the aid of modern technology, getting anywhere is now pretty simple. However, they cannot always be trusted or depended upon, particularly with the introduction of Google Maps. I once went through a lot of trouble by relying solely on it. I decided to go to Rishikesh alone for the first time. My family and I have visited Rishikesh a few times, so I felt pretty confident that I wouldn’t run into any
problems. Before becoming lost between two roads, I had comfortably finished the first half of the distance. I used Google Maps to help me escape the situation, and it directed me to a mysterious location where I could not see anyone. I was quite terrified and regretted choosing to travel alone.
Fortunately, I came upon a police officer, who assisted me in getting out of the sticky situation. The cop was incredibly polite and generous, and he made sure to deliver me to my destination securely. On that day, I discovered two extremely important lessons: first, one should not always rely on technology, and second, one should be well informed on the routes being travelled.

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 cue card ‘Describe a time when you lost your way?’.

Q1. How do people feel when they are lost?

Well, it depends on person to person and how they handle the adverse situation. Generally, people feel confused if they are not well-versed in technology. They will have to depend on the people around them to reach their destination.

Q2. What kind of problems do old people have when they get lost?

Old people are not very sound in technology, unlike youngsters, so it becomes pretty confusing for them to use Google Maps. However, they can communicate with localities where they have got lost to get on the right track.

Word	Meaning	Example
Well-versed	skilled in	I am well-versed in arithmetic.
Sticky situation	a difficult, awkward or sensitive situation	How can we get out of this sticky situation?

Describe an actor or actress whom you admire.

You should say:

Who he/she is?

What he/she looks like?

What kind of movie he/she appears in?

And explain why you admire this actor/actress?

Sample Answer

I am very fond of watching movies and web series. And, I admire the actors who bring their roles to life. Here, I would like to talk about an actor who I personally admired the most, Sushant Singh Rajput, who has truly impressed me with his acting skills & moreover his humble nature was to die for. Although, he’s not alive now but I still admire his work. In all the roles he has played, it seems like he has become the actual character, living his role to the fullest. I saw his immaculate work in the movie Kai Po Che where he played a lead role showcasing the struggles of a common man affected by 2001 Gujrat earthquake. Another movie in which he played an outstanding role was PK. He even played a lead in a romantic comedy movie Shudh Desi romance. Dhoni biopic, Raabta and Kedarnath proved to be the biggest hits of Sushant Singh in the bollywood movie industry. He gained much fame and recognition after these movies. Sushant Singh Rajput was a talented and promising Indian actor. He comes from a humble background and has faced many struggles in his journey. Most of his movies have been huge suceccess. His death was a heartbreaking incident to the nation but still he is present in our hearts through his spectacular work. Now, whenever I watch any old movies in which he has even a small role, I watch it till the end because of his captivating performance.
