ielts cue card space story

Sample Answer:

I am a person of varied taste when it comes to reading a book, watching a movie and or listening to music. When it comes to movies, I prefer watching sci-fi the most. Today I would like to talk about a Hollywood sci-fi movie “The Martian” 2015. Mark was the lead character, which was played by Matt Damon.

The plot of the movie is pretty simple yet it keeps you woven and intrigued. Mark gets stranded on Mars because of a storm, his team thinks he is dead, as the last telemetry from his suit indicates no sign of life. From here on his journey of survival on Mars begins. Mark, being a botanist, improvises a farm inside the habitat utilising Martian soil fertilized with human waste. He even produces water by extracting hydrogen from leftover rocket fuel, and utilizes the stock of potatoes he had from his expedition to make new crop of potatoes for himself, as he was to stay there for another 4 years before help could be sent to him.

The story-line has a huge significance with today’s age as we are eagerly looking forward to colonise the Mars. Even NASA assisted the filmmakers with depicting the science and technology in ‘The Martian’ since it saw the movie has a potential of promoting space exploration.

Right from my early childhood days, like any other kid of my age I was really fascinated by outer space, the universe and the explorations made by the astronauts. One thing which has always fascinated me, is the possibility of life on the other planets. To an extent, the movie has answered this question and also solidified my belief regarding the possibility of life beyond our planet Earth. (287 Words)

SAMPLE ANSWER

Over a period of time, I have realized that if you love doing something it always brings new opportunities and excitement in life. Today, I am going to talk about a thrilling day I got to spent because of my job. It was a few years back and I was working for a writing company back then. My job was to create new blogs for their website and it was mostly working from home. However, I used to often go to the office to meet the staff and my senior for inputs on the website.

One day, my senior asked me to write a script for the product the company will be releasing in the upcoming quarter. It sounded so exciting to me that once I had written the script I thought the work was done. Until one day I was told that I will be the assistant director for the shoot. The day of the shoot came on a fly. On the day of the shoot, I got to meet the best photographer of our town and then a really good actress. The entire day when by in cuts, retakes and it was really exciting.

The mere fact that I was on the sets of a shoot gave me goosebumps. The takes and retakes made feel as if I am a director. I remember coming back home late and my mother scolding me, but it was the best day I had lived in some while and nothing else mattered.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Questions # Family Member

Most of us live in a nuclear family but no matter what we all have our own extended families. There are some who have a smaller extended family but for many there are so many family members we meet during the summer holidays. But, there are only few we get together well with. The ones with whom we share our secrets and tell them about our fights. This time we are looking at a cue card that talks about the member of the family that you go along well with.

Describe a family member that you go on well with.
You should say :

  • who it is?
  • what relationship you have with that person
  • what that person is like
  • what you do together

also explain, why you get on so well.

NOTES
  • mayank
  • my brother
  • usually talk or travel.
  • understand each other well and give each other the required time.
SAMPLE ANSWER

I have many paternal and maternal cousins but I think the one person in my family that I really get along well is my brother. We have had our share of fights and ignorance in our growing years but I think over the period of time we have grown closer. His name is Mayank and is presently doing his Bachelors from a State owned university.

Mayank is a carefree yet careful child as I know him. The best part about him is that he knows which matters of life should be taken seriously and which ones should be considered in a lighter mood. This makes it so easy for us to interact because I know how he will take jokes. However, owing to his education and then my job we don’t meet very often but we do talk on phone and whenever we meet we mostly go out on rides to places we have never been.

The best part about our relationship is that we never need to hide anything from each other. Be it any of the darkest secrets or the stupidest habits that we form, we have always told each other about it and helped each other through out it. I think the only reason that we do get along with each other is because we do know each other. We know our problems and even if we don’t we are ready to go an extra mile to help each other.

WORD MEANING

paternal

of or appropriate to a father.

maternal

relating to a mother, especially during pregnancy or shortly after childbirth.

ignorance

 lack of knowledge or information.

stupidest

having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense.

go an extra mile

to do more than what is needed.

IELTS Cue Card Latest Questions # Daily Routine

The one thing that is common in all the successful people is that they all have a routine. Most people in this world, however, fail to have a daily routine. But, even then in the anonymity of the day that they will be living there is still left a sense of routine. This time we are looking at the daily routine of the individuals and what are things that they like in their day.

Describe a time of the day that you like. You should say:

  • what time of day it is?
  • what you do at that time?
  • who are you usually with?

and explain, why you like it?

SAMPLE ANSWER 1

There are certain days in life that are tough and then few others that are easy but no matter what the best part of the day for me are the evenings. Evening is the time when I am out of the office and usually at home or taking a walk in the park near me. When at home, I usually read novels or I am working on my blog. This is the time when I am alone in my room with a tea and either a laptop or a book in my hand. If I am not reading something most probably I am out on a walk with my friend, discussing things that don’t really matter and laughing at all the crazy things that we do. There are times that we go out and make random plans and do the crazy things.

I do love my evenings almost every day. Because they are either as calm as reading books and knowing oneself or as amazing as having fun with a good friend.

SAMPLE ANSWER 2

My day usually begins at 5 after which I do my exercise and then reading and go to office. Most of the times I am back at home by 8 but sometimes it even extends. But, I think in the entire day if there is one part which I really like about is the morning. Getting up and going out for jogging really does gives me the clarity in life to do things right in the beginning itself. Every problem that I am facing in life gets so easily solved during the jog. Post that, I freshen up and start reading newspaper followed by a novel.

Reading helps me and for that matter everyone expand their base of knowledge. One learns so much more from reading than anything in life. So, I read a newspaper and then a novel and sometimes solve some math problems. The reason I really like the morning is because they help me have a better day all throughout. Because no matter how many problems or issues that I face during the day, I know that I will find the solution the next day in the morning.
