IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

A part of your country that you find most interesting.

• Which part of the country is it?
• What is unique about this part?
• How do you feel about it?

Sample Answer

I live in India, a highly diverse country in terms of people, cultures, ethnicities, weather, and landscapes. India is a highly unique country in itself, due to the presence of such a huge variety of biodiversity and the human population. Every part of the country has different people with different ideologies, ways of living, dressing, food habits, cuisines, etc.

One such part of our country is Punjab, which also happens to be my native state. I find it the most interesting due to the people that live there. The native people here, also known as Punjabis, are very intriguing in terms of their lifestyles. Not only are they known for their extravagant lifestyles and loud behavior, but are also some of the kindest and jolly natured people around. They gel in well with other people, including strangers, and are good at holding light-hearted conversations. People there believe in the philosophy of “simple living, and high thinking”.  They are very helping in nature, and are ready to help someone in need at all times.

Basically known for its flourishing farming lands, Punjab has a rich cultural heritage that is not only reflected through the people but also through their architecture and the handicraft. Various cities in Punjab are known for innovative designs in terms of clothing, accessories, jewelry, and decoration items. There is a lot to see and feel in Punjab and even one small visit can give you beautiful lasting experiences. To sum it up, I would say that Punjab is a unique part of the country and adds to the overall beauty of the country in its own distinct ways.

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.

Speaking Part 2

Tell about an important decision you made with the help of another person.

• What the decision was?
• Who helped you?
• What the result of the decision was?

Sample Answer

A lot of conflict takes place inside our brains while making a decision. When we start suffering from the choice overload, we tend to avoid the efforts of making a correct decision. Hence, we start seeking suggestions from others.

Recently, I found myself standing on the crossroads and was unable to decide where to go. In that situation, I decided not to bear the burden of the crossroad questions alone. Therefore, in order to reduce that cognitive dissonance, I approached my father for his help.

I was working in a renowned Multinational Company as a manager. Although, I was drawing a handsome salary there, I was not feeling happy and contented as I always wanted to be a businessman. At that point in my career, leaving a stable job just to fulfill my dream seemed quite risky. I discussed my plan with my father and asked for his advice. I told him that I wanted to come back to my hometown for doing business. He motivated me and said that we get only one life to live our dreams. Moreover, he not only shown his belief in my entrepreneurial skills but also supported me financially to establish my own enterprise.

By the grace of God and my father’s blessings, I am running my business successfully. What is more, I am able to provide employment to hundreds of people. That one decision has changed my life completely and the credit goes to my father. It not only helped me to fulfill my individual responsibilities but social responsibilities as well.
