IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Describe a situation when you did not have enough time.

• What was the situation?
• When did it happen?
• What were you trying to do?
• How did you handle the situation?

Sample Answer

We face tough situations many times in life where we have very less time to do any particular task. I have also come across many such incidents, mainly due to my habit of procrastination. Due to my ways of postponing things to the last possible hour, I have faced many issues when I landed in trouble. I would like to talk about an incident that occurred during my tenure as a content writer in my first job.

I used to get a fair amount of time to write articles and publish them, so I used to be at ease and confident at all times. One day my boss handed me an assignment consisting of ten articles that were to be submitted on the coming Monday, after a three day festival holiday.

Anyway, I accepted it and came back home and started working on it. Before the day ended, I had completed one article and suddenly my friend called me up to invite me for a trip to a nearby town. I agreed and postponed my work till Sunday after I returned from the trip. The outing was very enjoyable but while coming back we got late as our car broke down. However, I reached back home on Sunday evening with very less time left to complete the assignment.

I sat down without wasting any more time and started working on it. I was awake the whole night completing the work and I somehow managed to finish it in the early hours of Monday morning. It was a very close call and I cursed myself for postponing my work without any foresight. This incident led me to take a firm decision to never procrastinate my work ever again.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Describe a place such as a park or sports ground which has developed in your city.

• Which place is it?
• Where is it located?
• How often do you visit there?
• Describe the place and the development?

Sample Answer

I live in Dehradun city which is home to many parks and gardens. The most illustrious of them, in my opinion, is a sports ground named Rajiv Gandhi International Sports Ground. It is situated on Raipur road near the center of the city and spreads over a massive area of forty thousand square meters.

The stadium is a crown jewel of Dehradun city and makes it capable to host international sports matches and championships. It is the largest multipurpose ground in the city and is the most favored place amongst fitness and sports enthusiasts. I visit it twice every day for a morning and evening jog. I also stay there for an hour after my jog on Sunday mornings to enjoy a game of badminton or basketball with my friends.

The ground is fully equipped with covered parking spaces on two sides, a cafeteria, drinking water dispensers, and an area designated for different sports such as basketball, football tennis, and badminton.

The place also has relaxing gardens with an ample number of trees and flowers. It is surrounded by a paved pathway lined with benches and evergreen trees with thick foliage at regular intervals. This pavement is ideal for walking and jogging. Such amenities make it worth a relaxing stroll in the morning or evening hours. Many health-conscious people visit this place on a daily basis for their routine exercises and playing different sports.

IELTS speaking task cue card Describe a journey that didn’t go as you planned

Describe a journey that didn’t go as you planned?

• • Where were you going?

• What was your planning?
• What went wrong?
• And explain what you would have done differently

Sample Answer

Vacations are supposed to be a fun break from the monotonous routine of our lives though sometimes it doesn’t go as expected. It reminds me of an incident of a failed solo trip I planned. After being inspired by various YouTube travel bloggers, I decided to at last tick it off my bucket list and got my bookings done for Andaman & Nicobar Islands. I researched quite a lot before my trip to avoid any major obstacles.

I booked my flight for the journey from Delhi to Port Blair from where I had planned to take a hotel to refresh myself for the sightseeing. It was a four days trip in which my idea was to cover Port Blair, Havelock Islands, Neil Islands and then return to Port Blair. Going by people’s advice and my own research, I had kept all the necessary things that might be necessary.

Everything was going as planned until I arrived at my destination. It was the climate of the place that didn’t suit me and I started to feel nauseous as soon as I landed. When I looked for my medical kit, I noticed that it was missing. I somehow reached my hotel by booking a cab where I found a Wi-Fi connection as there were network issues in the entire area. After contacting my family and telling them about my whereabouts, I went to see a local doctor and on my way back I lost my wallet. After pleading to some of the locals and telling them about my situation, they helped me reach the hotel. On the second day, after reaching my hotel at Havelock, I realized that I booked it for the previous date instead due to which I had to pay an extra amount to stay there. Later, my guide informed me about the unpredicted weather conditions due to which I had to spend my next two days in the hotel room as red alert was declared in the entire area.

As it is rightly said that to err is human, I learned quite a lot from the mistakes I made. Though I faced many hurdles during my journey, I realized that due to my carelessness and irresponsibility, I spoiled most of the enjoyable part of my first solo-trip. Had I been more cautious and accountable towards my bookings and carrying my medicines, it would have been a more gratifying experience.

Speaking Part 2:

Tell about a talkative person you know.

• Who that person is?
• Where you met this person?
• What that person talks about?
• How you felt after talking to that person?

Sample Answer

A prerequisite condition to start a relationship is to first initiate a dialogue. A healthy communication involves both listening and speaking. Some people are reserved and talk less ,whereas others are big mouthed. In order to maintain a healthy mind, we must share our thoughts and feeling with others. It also improves your bond with others, and encourages them to listen to you.

As a teenager, I was very shy and unable to express myself. Suddenly, I met the most talkative person of my life who completely changed me. She was my colleague and became my best friend in no time. I had heard that opposite attracts but I started believing in this after meeting her. We are still best friends.

Though, she looks very arrogant and pretentious, but actually she is outspoken and helpful. My friend is always ready to start a conversation with anyone about anything. She believes that whatever she knows is important and must be shared with others. We never have any  misunderstanding between us because she tries her best to explain every small detail.She finds talking is the best medicine to beat stress and anxiety. Due to her habit of talking, she is notable to many and has a large group of friends. Being with her, I have learnt the importance of talking to feel happy and confident.

To conclude, since, we know excess of everything is bad .Therefore, over communication sometimes makes a person deviate from the main topic of discussion. People ignore loquacious people as they do not listen and only talk. I believe, we must not impose our thoughts on others but should also listen to others.
