IELTS Cue Card: RIVER OR LAKE IN YOUR COUNTRY

IELTS Cue Card: Talk about an important river or lake in your country

Talk about an important river or lake in your country
You should say:

  • Which water body is that?
  • How do you know about it?
  • Why does it impress you so much

Sample Answer

Water bodies like rivers are of paramount importance for the survival of humans and other living organisms on this planet. Although my country has vast rivers like the holy Ganges and the mighty Brahmaputra, I’d like to talk about the river Indus, which is one of the longest rivers in Asia. I witnessed the beauty of Indus on my visit to Leh last year. Originating in the Tibetan plateau, the river runs a course through the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir. Then it flows through the entire length of Pakistan before draining into the Arabian Sea. Going back in history, the Indus, or Sindh, River had a significant role in the development of the Indus Valley civilisation. The remains of the ancient cities of Harappa and Mohenjodaro were found on the banks of this river. The Indus merges with the Zanskar River near a place called Nimoo, a few kilometres from Leh. The confluence point offers the most mesmerising view, which is a treat for the eyes. What is even more impressive is that this river is the lifeline of people living in this otherwise arid and barren high-altitude desert. The Indus remains frozen for almost a quarter of the year, and locals provide ice-skating facilities for the tourists. One of the locals told me that the blind Indus River dolphin is a sub-species of dolphin found only in the Indus River and is on the verge of extinction. Although Pakistan generates hydropower with the help of dams and barrages on Indus, there is none on the Indian side. In the end, I’d like to say that it’s our duty to conserve our precious water resources for the sustenance of life on the Earth and for the betterment of future generations.

special-food Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

Food is one of our basic needs. Certainly, we need food to survive. Nevertheless, we need varieties of tasty cuisines to relish and feel satisfied. Food stimulates our brains and provides us satisfaction. Being raised in an Indian family, delicious food has always been my weakness. Food is the source of bringing family and friends together on different occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. Great and long-lasting memories are created while having lunch or dinner together. Everyone is fond of some or the other type of food; it depends on the taste and ethnicity.

My birthday has recently passed. My younger sister had organised a small surprise party for me at our home. She invited all my close friends. Though my sister did not know how to cook, she learned and cooked a special recipe for the party. She cooked litti chokha for the guests. It is popular in the states of Bihar and Jharkhand.

Litti looks like a small ball made up of whole wheat flour, whereas chokha is prepared by mashing brinjal, potatoes and tomatoes together. Traditionally, littis were roasted over coal or cow-dung cakes, but now the same can be roasted in a microwave. The richness of the dish is increased when a dollop of ghee is poured over the litti balls. It is a main-course recipe. It has an authentic flavour of ginger, garlic and Indian spices. It is generally served with spicy pickles and green chutney.

We all liked the dish and appreciated my sister for the efforts she put in to learn and cook a traditional recipe. This dish is special to me, as it was prepared by my sister for the first time just to surprise me. I was really touched by her sweet gesture of love and care.

rose Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in dehradun
Sample answer

Nature and its biodiversity have given us so many beautiful plants and trees of different kinds. These bear beautiful flowers and delicious fruits and vegetables. I find all of this greenery around me to be very attractive, and I like it very much. One of these is the rose flower, which I like the most. It is a perennial flower that grows on a woody plant. Highly abundant, this flower is found all over the world. It has many varieties in different colours.

Its beauty and intricate design have led to its use as an ornamental plant. Apart from that, it has a sweet and pleasing scent and has various uses. People use it for decorations, in bouquets, and for making perfumes. Also used in the making of food, drinks, and medicine, it is a highly beneficial plant.

Actually, I first saw it as a child, when I went to a rose garden with different rose varieties blooming in one place. A highly intriguing sight, these flowers enchanted me with their charm and pleasant smell, and I was lost in this picturesque sight. As I grew older, I found that it is also considered a physical representation of love and used in art for many years. Hence, I have started liking the rose flower very much since then.

ielts cue card space story

Sample Answer:

I am a person of varied taste when it comes to reading a book, watching a movie 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 hooked 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 fertilised with human waste. He even produces water by extracting hydrogen from leftover rocket fuel and utilises the stock of potatoes he had from his expedition to make a new crop of potatoes for himself, as he was to stay there for another 4 years before help could be sent to him.

The storyline has huge significance in today’s age, as we are eagerly looking forward to colonising Mars. Even NASA assisted the filmmakers with depicting the science and technology in ‘The Martian’ since it saw the movie had the 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.
