IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Talk about something you borrowed from a friend.

 

• What was it?
• What did you do with it?
• When did you borrow it?
• Who did you borrow it from?
• Why did you borrow it?

Sample Answer

Man is a highly social being, and we as people build up a web of relationships as we go. One such relation is friendship, wherein like-minded people come together, and make life better by adding joy in each other’s lives. Friends always make life better by celebrating each other’s joys, supporting in the sorrows, and helping in the times of our need.

I have a lot of good friends that I have come to be with, in this beautiful journey of life. I have helped them and they have done the same for me on numerous occasions. One of these friends, Manan, stands out in my memory and in my heart as well. A very amazing person to spend time with, he has always looked out for me. Actually, I met him after joining college, and soon we started sharing an apartment as well. He always understood my financial issues and acted accordingly. After a month, I decided to apply for a job to sustain my expenses.

I consulted Manan, and he urged me to apply in a few companies, in addition to supporting my decision. I applied for the jobs and got an interview call as well. After preparing for it, on the day of the interview, I went to him and asked him to lend me formal clothes for the interview. He was gracious enough to comply and gave me his best formal suit to wear. I was actually humbled at his gesture and thanked him profusely. I then gave the interview, and I was cleared for the job. It was a great help on Manan’s part, and he was happy when I credited him for this success.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Something interesting a friend has done that you would like to do yourself.

• What did your friend do?
• Why do you wish to do it?
• What are your plans on doing such an interesting thing?

Sample Answer

I have a lot of friends that are into different fields of careers. We sit together every now and then to share our experiences of our lives and the things we do. Every other time or so, someone or the other has an exciting story to share about something interesting that they did. I love listening to such experiences and stories that they share. This is because I get to know about and learn a lot of new things.

In addition, I also get new ideas for a hobby, a vacation, or any other new thing to try out during my leisure time. I have a friend who recently came back from a trip to a hill station in the Himalayan Mountains. His trip was very exciting and adventurous, and even while listening to his story, I started to plan my own trip to the place. He stayed there and enjoyed many adventure sports such as rock climbing, river rafting, and trekking in the woods, but the main and probably the most enjoyable activity was paragliding.

I have seen paragliding in many movies, and I really wish to do it and experience the feeling of flying in the sky like a bird. Even though I have not done it, I still know that it must be a very mesmerising experience. Flying high in the sky and looking down upon the land beneath brings a cherished feeling of ecstasy to every enthusiast. I have decided to plan my next vacation during the upcoming winters, and I will go to the hill station and get a hands-on experience of paragliding.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card

Something you borrowed from a friend or a family member.

• When was this incident?
• What did you borrowed?
• How was your experience?

Sample Answer

Friends and family are highly important relationships that stand by you in your time of need. Man is a social entity and always forms ‘give and take’ relations, where they take help and help those in need every time. I have a lot of good friends and caring, supportive family members as well. We all stand by each other’s side during tough times. One such incident is worth mention, and it is about my cousin brother. It happened when I had just completed my degree and joined my first job. I liked my job very much even though it was a very hectic one.

I had a load of assignments I needed to complete, which often required me to work after hours from my home. This posed an issue as I did not own a computer then. One day, I was on an outing with my cousin, who was very fond of me and adored me. Being the elder brother, he taught me a lot through real-life examples of life and its problems with the utmost compassion. I told him of this issue during our discussion, in hopes that he would help me out with his advice there as well. To my surprise, he took me to his place and gave me his personal laptop computer. He basically lent it to me and told me to return it only after I had purchased one of my own.

I was humbled and thankful to him for this huge help, as well as worrying about hampering his work. He assured me that he had an official laptop as well, and it was sufficient for his work. I thanked him a lot and used the laptop for the next three months. After saving from my salary, I purchased a new laptop for my own use and returned my cousin his laptop. I still keep that incident as a cherished memory and thank him for his graciousness.
