IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card: Describe a place near water.

• Where is this place?
• What did you do at this place?
• Who did you go there with?
• Explain why you liked this place?

Sample answer

There are a lot of places one can visit all over the world with many sights and attractions to offer, along with different features. Many landmarks have breathtaking beach views and much more. Personally, I prefer to visit locations near water. If a place has any kind of a water body, such as a lake, a pond, or a river, I would enjoy visiting the place and spending time over there.

Well, after visiting many beaches, riverfronts, lakes, and ponds all over India I got a chance to drive up to a lake in the Himalayan Mountains. I went there with three of my colleagues who are my good friends as well. We went there during last winters, in the month of November. About the lake, it is very famous and is named Deoria Taal. Situated in a densely forested area along with variegated wildlife, it is very quaint. We drove to the nearby village and trekked up the rest of the way to reach the lake. It was a huge water body with very clean water. There was a grassy area towards three sides of it and dense trees on one. The water was stagnant and beautifully reflected the high snow-capped mountain peaks in the distance.

We went there not only to visit but to experience the beauty of that place and draw some calmness from that deep water body. It was an enchanting sight with pleasing views all around. We decided to camp out on the grass for two days and then set up the camps. I loved the peace in the surroundings, the calmness that shrouded everything, and the feeling as if the time had stopped. This experience that Deoria Taal has given me would always be cherished.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

A game you enjoyed playing when you were younger.

 

• What was the game?
• What did you like about it?
• Who did you play it with?

Sample Answer

We have all played some game or the other during our childhood. The state of worry-free bliss and the passion that children have for their life brings pure joy to everyone’s hearts. Some children play indoor games such as chess or carom, while some children prefer outdoor games such as cricket or basketball.

I also used to play a lot of indoor and outdoor games with my friends when I was younger. I especially played a lot of basketball, and it was my favorite game. Basketball is a great game and has helped me in maintaining my health through full body exercise. We had a basketball court in our society, and all of the other children used to form two teams and play basketball for almost two hours every day. We used to have small competitions as well. Even in the game’s class in school, I spent most of my time playing basketball with my classmates. With time, I became better in the game, and my teacher and my parents supported me enough to become the school team captain.

I enjoyed myself in playing and representing my school and our team in other local championships and sports meets. This game has taught me a lot, such as leadership qualities, hand to eye coordination, team spirit, and most importantly, the value of physical fitness. I still remember those times and go to a court nearby to play basketball sometimes.

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 career. 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, 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, but I still know that it must be a very mesmerizing 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.
