IELTS Cue Card – A friend from childhood you remember very well

Leave a comment
A friend from childhood you remember very well.

You should know:

  • When and how did you first meet this friend?
  • What did you like to do together?
  • What did you have in common?

Sample Answer

Friendship is a beautiful relation that touches everyone’s lives in a different way. I too have had many amazing people as my friends, especially during my childhood. I can recall many such friends who were very close to me, but the closest one was Smith.

He was my best friend for a better part of my childhood. I met him when I was 6 years old. He lived in the neighbourhood just two houses away from ours. I met him on the first day in the society garden. I was roaming about aimlessly when he appeared and asked me if I live here. We started talking and discovered a lot of common things to talk about. Soon became the best buddies for almost 7 years until his family moved to another state. We had a lot of matching thoughts and hobbies. We both liked playing video games, collecting comic books, watching cartoons; and reading stories, amongst other activities. We used to go to school and many other outings together. We also played and studied together at both our homes.

Our goals in the future were also the same, as we both wanted to become teachers when we grew up. We even had a similar taste in food and dressing ideas. This friendship was important to me to such an extent that I considered him my sibling more than a friend. He was the only neighbouring kid who I spent the maximum amount of my time with. The best part is all the memories that we created together and the fact that I still cherish them in my heart.

IELTS CUE CARD # DESCRIBE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE. Best IELTS Band7 Coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER –

There are some movies that we watch and forget, while some others have an everlasting effect on our lives. I would like to talk about my favourite movie, 3 Idiots. It is a Bollywood movie directed and produced by a well-known Indian director, Raj Kumar Hirani. Since it was based on a renowned novel, ‘5 Points Someone’, and one of my favourite artists, Aamir Khan, is cast in it, I was extremely eager to watch this film.

The film is focused on three college friends from a prestigious institution of India. The plot revolves around the protagonists belonging to different cultural backgrounds who have different goals in life, but they end up in an engineering institution. Thus, talking about how Asian parents force the dreams on their children. One of them has a unique approach towards life and is blessed with a super technical mind. On the other hand, his friends were not that brilliant and were not interested in a particular field.

This movie was released in 2009, so it’s been quite a long time, but it still remains on the top of my all-time favourite movies. I remember watching it with my friends during my school days. The film is beautifully crafted and has some exciting twists. It gained pretty good recognition among audiences worldwide.

This is my favourite movie, as it has many messages to deliver on friendship, success and the education system of our nation. The movie highlights a friendship bonding among three college friends. It also teaches about following our passion instead of worrying about grades in order to be accomplished in life. The film also questions the Indian education system where one gets job placement based on grades rather than creative ideas and invention.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe a person you follow on social media

Speaking – Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a person you follow on social media
You should say:

    • What is he/she ?
    • When did you start following him/her ?
    • Why do you follow him/her ?
    • Explain how you feel about him/her ?

Sample Answer:

Accessibility and affordability of internet connection have drastically changed life. It is easy to connect with people across the globe. On top of it, the commencement of social media has proven to be the most widespread medium to connect with people. It has become a ubiquitous phenomenon by which information can be disseminated to millions of active users.

On social media, one can get a plethora of content depending upon their choice. At present we have several options to connect with people. Well, I follow many famous personalities on Facebook. I vividly, remember making my first Facebook account in 9th grade and getting excited every time I used to log in. I love checking out new content on it. One day scrolling through Facebook, I came across a content creator whose work I thought was worth giving a watch. His name is Sandeep Maheshwari. His videos were quite gripping, which kept me glued to his posts. He emphasises people being conscious about their mental health and not neglecting serious issues like depression. Through his videos, he tries to motivate people by providing them with numerous ways that they can apply in order to lead a happy, stress-free life. Sandeep Maheshwari is a self-motivated person having a good sense of observation. Apart from Facebook, he is active on other social media sites like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. I was completely blown away when I got to know that Sandeep Maheshwari has not monetised his YouTube channel even with millions of subscribers on it. He considers it social help to society. This selfless quality impressed me and inspired me to do something good for society. Since then I started following him religiously.

Apart from being an avid motivational speaker, he is also the founder and CEO of Imagesbazaar.com, the largest collection of Indian stock images that have made him one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurs in India. Today, Sandeep Maheshwari is a renowned name among youngsters and has gained a massive fan following not just in India but in many countries. He has also been featured in almost all the leading magazines, newspapers, and television channels. I consider Sandeep Maheshwari among the world’s best orators.

Speaking – Part 3 (Follow-up questions)
Here are some examples of follow-up questions that the examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to the cue card ‘Describe a person you follow on social media’. 

Q1. What can people do on social media?
Billions of people around the world use social media to share information and make connections. Social media allows you to communicate with friends and family, learn new things, develop your
interests, and be entertained. One can even use social media to broaden their knowledge in a particular field and build a professional network by connecting with professionals.

Q2. Do older people spend much time on social media?
I reckon not much, as they find more peace without using social networking sites; also, they consider social media sites time-consuming. Although, they do use common social apps like WhatsApp and Facebook to stay in touch with their loved ones.

Q3. Are non-social media like television and newspapers still useful?
Indeed, there are still many people who prefer newspapers and television as reliable mediums for getting information. However, with the commencement of social media sites, there is a decline in the use of television and newspapers. Moreover, old people still prefer non-social media over social media apps.

Q4. Do you think older people and younger people will use the same kind of social media software?
Definitely not; older people prefer to use social media in a limited manner, especially when they are bored or when they want to connect with their kith and kin. Whereas youngsters prefer spending time on these virtual apps not only for their research and study purposes but also consider it a ladder to gain fame.

IELTS Cue Card: Helped Someone

IELTS Cue Card: ‘When you helped someone’.

Describe a time when you helped someone.
You should say:

  • Who you helped and why?
  • How you helped this person?
  • What the result was?
  • and explain how you felt about helping this person.

Sample Answer:

I would like to talk about this one time from my childhood, when I helped someone, when I didn’t even know it was a form of help.
If I recall it correctly, the year was 1993; I must have been in my 3rd or 4th year of school. One night we (I, my sister and our parents) were returning from someone’s place; on the way, there was a religious procession going on, and we kids were offered some edibles. I was still holding my goodies when I saw an old man sitting by the road, a few houses away. I gave him those goodies to eat. While he was eating the food, I felt really good. From that night onwards I made it a point, while going to my school, to find him and give him my tiffin to eat. I did it for some time before my parents found it out and stopped me from doing it.
I loved to see his smiling face while eating the food. I know it must not have been much for him. He would always bless me, like a lot. I guess I am what I am today because of people like him.
