IELTS Cue Card Describe an interesting place in your country that is not visited by many tourists.

Describe an interesting place in your country that is not visited by many tourists.

You should say:

Where is this place?

What do you like about it?

How do you go there?

Sample Answer

India is a multicultural country with many beautiful tourist attractions. For a number of factors like location, ease of travel and popularity, some destinations remain less-known. Uttarakhand is home to a few such places that are difficult to reach as they are nestled deep into the Himalayan mountain ranges.

One such place is Deoria Taal, a lake situated on a hilltop near a village called Sari. Located at a distance of 250 kilometers from the state capital Dehradun, it is a quaint lakeside place. I love its beautiful surroundings and breathtaking views. One can clearly see two of the tallest peaks in the Himalayan range from the viewpoint near the lake. The diversity of the flowers and the trees, coupled with the serenity of the water body provide a soothing and calm environment to the visitors, making it an ideal spot for a weekend visit.

To reach the lake, visitors have to trek for about three kilometers. The nearby area is surrounded by dense forests on high peaks and is largely uninhabited. Moreover, Deoria is a freshwater lake with a grassy area next to it, making it perfect for camping in the lap of nature. Also, there is a lot of wildlife that comes to the lake to drink water. So, lucky visitors can enjoy the wildlife as well. Even though the lake is open throughout the year, summer is the best time to visit this place.

IELTS Cue Card : Talk about a time when you received poor service

Talk about a time when you received poor service:

You should say:

When was it?

Where did this happen?

What did you do about it?

Sample Answer

We often go to various places to avail different kinds of services. I too have been to many places like hotels, offices, car showrooms and garages. Today, I’d like to talk about a time when I received poor service.

I work as a senior manager in a software company. A few months ago, my team and I went to a popular restaurant near our office. It was a team lunch to celebrate our successful year. We were greeted, welcomed through the grand entrance and seated. The place was full and quite busy. It took almost fifteen minutes for the waiter to bring water to our table and present the menu. I felt bad but I didn’t make any issue about it. All of us chose our preferences and gave our orders. We kept on talking about different things. Half an hour passed but no one brought our orders. It was very upsetting because we were getting late.

I went to the reception to complain about the delayed service. The receptionist apologized and went ahead to expedite our order. We finally received our drinks and food. We started eating but when two of my colleagues found strands of hair in their soups and in pieces of bread, the situation became unbearable. This was the last straw, we all got up and left the place without saying a single word. After reaching the office, I sent a formal letter of complaint to the restaurant manager. In compensation, we received an invite to an evening meal for all of us, along with a sincere written apology and promise of the best service. We didn’t go there again but it somehow made us forget that bad experience.

IELTS Cue Card : DESCRIBE YOUR FAVOURITE CHILDHOOD ACTIVITY.

Describe your favourite childhood activity.

You should say:

What type of activity it was?

How you used to do it?

Who did you do it with?

Sample Answer

Childhood is the most cherished facet of everyone’s life. I have several favorite moments of my childhood, but the days spent with my maternal grandmother hold a special place in my heart. She was my best friend, and I loved her the most. Together, we would engage in a variety of enjoyable activities such as cooking, gardening, and field work. Any activity I engaged in with her would naturally become enjoyable. Worship was one of my favorite things to do. As a devout person, I would like to thank my grandmother for always encouraging me to perform prayers and adhere to rites. Every time, I would go with her to the temple and she would show me how to offer it properly. In the evening, we would sit together and sing devotional songs and prayers. My grandmother would always a narrate story before going to bed. My thirst for her stories was uncontrollable and often end up troubling her to narrate two stories in a day. The best part was the lesson and moral values her stories would lead to. My grandmother has always imparted to me her finest wisdom. I believe one must spend time with their grandparents as they are the store house of abundance love and knowledge. I think my grandmother’s lessons are what make me the nice person I am.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q.1 What activities do kids like to do in school apart from studying?

Well, I believe kids love to engage themselves in playful activities with their friends in school. They enjoy participating in other co-curricular activities like dance, debate, and quizzes, which would give them a paradigm shift from academics.

Q.2 With whom do kids like to play, old people or persons of their age group, and why?

I believe both. When they are at home, they make their grandparents their best friends and learn various things from them; however, when they move out of the house, they enjoy games with kids of their age.
