Sample Answer

I am a party lover. I am very popular among my friends and family to make every party a huge success.

I have been to many parties where I enjoyed a lot. One of the parties which I can never forget was a reception party of my best friend.

Last year my best friend got hitched to love of his life. Our whole friend circle was very happy and excited for his wedding as we all witnessed his struggle to get married with that girl. It was a thrilled journey with lots of ups and downs and finally, they both managed everything and tied a knot.

My friend threw his reception party in Goa, a place known for its most happening parties around the world. Goa was on top in all of ours bucket list. We always wanted to visit Goa along with friends. However, unusually, college days had been very hectic for us and after that all of us got busy in our professional lives. We could not get an opportunity to plan a visit to Goa together. To keep in mind all of ours dream to visit Goa, my friend decided to throw that party in Goa. On a sunny day, at one of the most famous beaches of Goa, all the preparations were made to celebrate this auspicious occasion. We were all gathered there to be a part of his new journey.

His wedding reception became a great reason for all one of us to meet with each other after a long time. We spent a quality time there. That party had all the arrangements to cater the need of every age group of people. We enjoyed his reception party thoroughly as well as relived our college life moments.

IELTS CUE CARD # Describe the person who impressed you the most when you were in primary school

Sample Answer :

Children often have a tendency to choose their role models, by whom they are highly impressed. His mannerisms and qualities are considered to be flawless and perfect, and often serve as the reference point for the children, to build upon their character. When I was in primary school, I was fascinated by our headmistress, Mrs. Robinson.

Since she was our headmistress, therefore she was in charge of every activity in the primary wing of our school. She used to address the assembly, every morning, in auditorium. I happened to meet her for the first time, when she appointed me as the head boy of primary wing. Once appointed, I needed to summon up the daily attendance and performance report to her desk, in her office.

Well, Ma’am always used to dress elegantly and had a unique penchant of presentation. She had an impressive English oration and an enriched vocabulary collection, which made her concise and precise in her communication. She was a very prudent decision maker and an able administrator. Her leadership skills in running the school were very impressive. She was a strict martinet in matters of academic and sports performance. She exposed the children to various cultural and educational, interactive programmes, which were very beneficial. She used to teach us English too. Her ability to make the students understand, the basics of learning a language, were very simple and highly effective. I give full credentials to Ma’am, for offering me such a strong foundation in English proficiency. Moreover, she stressed on the importance of time table and discipline in life, most essential tools to achieve success. She inculcated the basic civic sense and instilled tremendous confidence in us.

I feel blessed by her mentorship. Her pedagogy was significantly helpful to me in several spheres of life. I thank her for everything I learnt from her in my childhood.

Martinet	strict discipline lover: Martinet is needed in defence forces to toe the line
Pedagogy	teaching and mentoring style: Arjun gave the credit of his archery to his Guru’s pedagogy

Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 Why do children make role models?

Sample answer: Childhood and specially adolescence is the age of confusion and self-doubt. There is a constant conflict between dependency and personal freedom. Value system undergoes a major scrutiny, whereby, one’s own validated norms and values are established. In such a state of uncertainty, young people cling to someone who they feel good in justified sense. Then they start imitating the person and try to impersonalize his style.

Q. 2 What is the first aspect of impression?

Sample answer: The very first aspect of impression is physical personality and the manner of communication. Physical built up is the first thing, one observes in a person in the first meeting. It is the suaveness in the speech and manners that impresses next. True character and attitude become the impression indices, only after growing familiarity with the concerned person.

Q. 3 Do the role models change for the primary standard students?

Sample answer: I think, they may or may not. A child studying in a primary standard is too susceptible and sensitive to the novel phenomena exhibited by the people. Therefore, there is a fair probability, that a child likes a person on one day and the next day he starts admiring some other person because of the different qualities. So, in this way, he can even have multiple role models. For instance, a sports minded child may be impressed by Mike Tyson and Usain Bolt equally.

IELTS CUE CARD # Speak about a gift you would like to buy for your friend

Sample Answer :

I have Ajay as my best friend. Most of the time he stays in India and I have to go to places abroad, as per the demands of my marketing job. Due to this, we get the chance to meet, only occasionally. But, otherwise, we have regular chats and video sessions, as such. He has picked up jogging very seriously, recently. He has this problem of bent feet, that are uncomfortable even in the super branded sports shoes. He often complains about the pain in feet, so one day, I made queries to find out a shoe parlour in Italy, where they have a rich experience of designing customized shoes as per the requirements. I am currently located in Switzerland. Therefore, I can easily get those shoes availed in Italy. As I have mentioned, I have chosen those particular shoes, as I feel those as the perfect requirement for him right now, so he can get well with his running after I gift him those shoes.

His birthday is coming in next month. I have decided, that I should send him the courier with this special pair of shoes on his birthday. By that time, it would also be feasible for me to locate those shoes in Italy and make arrangements for shipping.

I am sure, he would be delighted, after seeing this surprise on his birthday. I can understand the trouble he is persistently facing with his sports shoes. He has left no brand untried, whichever is available in India. He has searched on net, for customized shoes and came to know only ambiguously, that the shoes can be found somewhere in Europe. It was then, when he asked me to find out from locals in Europe. After gifting him those shoes, I shall be feeling very satisfied to see my friend happily comfortable. I will feel, that the effort made to handpick these particular shoes from a place far away from India, has been fructified.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning
Ambiguous	unclear: Children facing board exams are ambiguous about new exam pattern

Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 When do we generally exchange gifts?

Sample answer: Only on some special occasions like anniversary, birthday or on some festivities like Diwali, Eid do we exchange gifts with our close friends and relatives.

Q. 2 What is the importance of Gifts?

Sample answer: Gifts are the things, which may be of some utility or purely for entertainment. They are chosen as per the special liking of the person. I think, gifts acts as souvenirs or symbolic gestures that represent the feelings of one person for other. They actually represent the love, kindness, compassion and empathy for the person. Whenever one looks at the gift, he will remember the person who gifted that particular gift.

Q. 3 Do you thing expensive gifts are better than the ordinary ones?

Sample answer: No, I don’t think like that. I believe it is the feelings and emotions that matter the most in presentation of a gift. Expensive gifts are not necessarily the better ones. Take for instance, when I finished my graduation, my friend gifted me a watch. It may not be that expensive watch but it symbolized his emotions for me and his advice to me to stay updated with time. So, the price factor did not matter at all.

IELTS Cue Card #Describe a thing you cannot live without

March 28, 2022 IELTS Research

IELTS Cue Card #Describe a thing you cannot live without

Describe a thing you cannot live without.
You should say:

What is that thing?

Why and since when is it so important for you?

Has it ever been absent in your life? How did you feel then?

And what will happen when it expires.

IELTS CUE CARD #Describe a thing you cannot live without

Sample Answer :

We all have few things or commodities in our lives, which are considered to be indispensable to our daily lives. That might be a pet for someone, a bike for a mountaineer, makeup for a celebrity star or a balanced diet for a health conscious person. It is really difficult to think of living in their absence. Similarly, I am hooked to my daily work out. I mean, I just can’t imagine what my life would be, without my daily rigorous set of exercises. I do not go to a gymnasium. Rather, I prefer free hand exercises in open.

I have been a heath freak since my early teens. I used to play football in my school. I was very fond of running, cycling and swimming too. When I started with my graduation, I watched a famous movie Rocky, played by Sylvester. It had a mind blowing effect on my psyche. I just loved his fitness and training workout schedule. It was so bare and brazenly bold rigorousness, in his physical workout, that it caught me by the nerves, instantaneously. Since then, it has become like a ceremony for me, to daily indulge in my workout. It keeps me fit and gives me that feel of feeling good about myself. Watching my body drenched in my sweat gives me jets of adrenalin rush.

Whenever I visit my home, I get immersed in a total relaxed, cool kind of fun with my parents and children. On those days, I just chill and forget my daily ritual. I spend most of my time talking with my family or watching some movie or just lazily basking in the sun. I feel blissed in those moments too, spending good time with my family. Obviously, I miss my schedule, but that is compensated by love and affection I receive at home.

I will try to maintain this discipline till my last days. With age, there might be a mitigation in my physical strength and consequently, in hardness of my exercise. But, I will keep on doing regular exercises to feel healthy and happy.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning
Indispensable	necessary: Oxygen is indispensable for us
Brazen	bold: Prime Minister has a brazen manner of communication
Indispensable	reduction: Over the time, there has been mitigation in water table

Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 Do you think that addiction to good things is good?

Sample answer: I think the word addiction does not denote a negative connotation here. If one gets habituated to a discipline that brings good results for his body and mind, then that addiction is definitely considered to be good.

Q. 2 Some people have a special nostalgia for particular things like old gifts, coins or any piece of clothing which they always keep with them. Why do they have such association that they can’t live without them?

Sample answer: Emotional gatherings accumulated over a period of so many years take the form of a particular thing. All the past memories of people and incidents are absorbed in some particular thing; to which we get associated. So, losing that thing implies virtual loss of those feelings and emotions too, which makes us feel very uncomfortable.

Q. 3 What is one thing that children can’t live without?

Sample answer: Children simply can’t live without love and care. Little children do not know the basic survival techniques and require great attention and love in order to sustain. In an atmosphere of utter negligence and hatred, it would be very difficult for children to live.

Q. 4 Does our association with the material things bring us pain?

Sample answer: Yes. Although association with the material things brings us joy and pleasure initially but it becomes a bitter experience in the absence of that particular thing. For instance, a student who is addicted to play video games on his mobile, will feel restless, if that phone is lost or due to any reason, he is not able to play the video games. Therefore, one should be aware of this cause effect relationships.
