Describe an interesting conference that you attended. You should say –

why it was interesting

who the speaker was

what was talked about

Also, explain why you found it interesting and educating.

SAMPLE ANSWER

I have recently joined the Toastmasters community and it is all about public speaking and leadership. Last Friday, I attended a meeting held in my office. It was a district level conference and people from all of the communities in the district came to attend it. Like in all meetings, there were two main speakers and lot of table topics. But the one thing that made the meeting different from others was the quality of the speakers.

There were two main speakers. The first speaker explained how in the latest of times we have philosophized life to an extent that we have stopped living. It was a humorous speech and in the end the message was clear, life is about doing what you love and letting everything else pass by. The second speaker talked about dreams. How dreams have been the driving force for so many eras and the beautiful concept of understanding the present circumstances through dreams.

I really loved the speakers and the way they presented their thoughts. There was drama in the speech and one could visualize the words of the speakers making it impactful.

IELTS Cue Card 2017 Questions # Shifting

November 27, 2025 IELTS Research

Gone are the days when people were born in one place and died at the same place. We are in times when people are always on movement, always shifting, changing places, friends and so much more. This time we are looking at a cue card that talks about how one feels when moving to a new school or home.

Talk about a time when you moved to a new school.

What were the reasons for moving to the new school?

explain how did you feel about it

do you think it is a good idea to change schools frequently?

SAMPLE ANSWER

Over the period of my school days, I have changed schools three times. Sometimes the shifting was because of my father’s transfer, the other time because of my education. Changing schools has always been a piece of cake for me because I do gel up with people. But one time that I really did not enjoyed changing school was when I came to Dehradun for my higher studies. Usually changing schools meant going along with parents, this time it was all new, making the experience entirely different.

Having changed so many schools, I think they do help in developing the personality of a child. It teaches how to gel up with people and be ready for change. But, then it also takes away the stability that sometimes we need in life. Children who frequently go to new schools are often not able to make lasting friendships which are required later in life.

Phrases

Over the period

Meaning – an amount of time

piece of cake

Meaning – something that is very easy to do

Synonym – child’s play, doddle, snap, nothing, breeze, cinch, gift

lasting friendships

Friendships that stay for a longer period of time

Sample Answer

A healthy lifestyle is an important factor in keeping a body healthy. It is highly necessary to maintain a proper routine in order to keep your body healthy. There are different ailments one can suffer from due to various reasons, such as cold, flu, nausea, and many more. I also fell ill at the start of this winter season, during last December.

I have recently shifted to Dehradun and this was my first winter season spent here. As I had shifted from another city and did not take heed of the weather change. Moreover, I ate a lot of cold foods and beverages and roamed around the city in the cold winds without wearing warm clothes. Due to these negligent practices, I caught cold and a high fever with severe body ache.

I was very tired that day due to lack of sleep. I was coughing, sneezing, and had a running nose. It was a very bad experience and it taught me a lot. With a lot of difficulty, I got ready and went to a doctor. The doctor advised me medicines and gave me strict instructions to follow regarding my routine and things to take care of during extremely cold weather. During my bed-rest, I had to take leaves from office, resulting in a disrupted routine, and loss of pay. My work and social life suffered equally, and I learned a lesson to maintain a proper routine and to take care of my health in order to prevent any future illnesses.

practical-skills Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

I have learned a lot of practical skills such as cooking, driving, working with wood, and working on computer amongst others. I was able to learn them from different places such as my school, my home, workshops and vocational classes. The most illustrious one as per me is graphic designing. I have always had a passion for drawing and art in my childhood. My father bought me a computer when I was in eighth grade, and I started using computer applications to design and draw things on the computer.

It started with painting on Microsoft Paint and later on, I learned other applications and designing possibilities with even more advanced software such as AUTOCAD and Photoshop. As time passed, I grabbed every opportunity to learn about designing and attended diploma courses to become adept at designing. After graduating from high school, I got many chances to work upon cards, posters, banners, and logos for the people I personally knew, and I earned my expenses through these.

I have gained and mastered the skill by practicing a lot. I have read different books on designing and its concepts and spent hours designing classes to hone my abilities. I took every work or freelancing opportunity that I could get and started earning money by putting this skill to good use.

Even though I have a long way to go, I am glad to have this skill, as I plan to build my career in the designing industry where this skill is a required basic necessity. This way, I can use my skill to earn a livelihood.
