Describe an actor or actress whom you admire.

Who he/she is?

What he/she looks like?

What kind of movie he/she appears in?

And explain why you admire this actor/actress?

Sample Answer

I am very fond of watching movies and web series. And, I admire the actors who bring their roles to life. Here, I would like to talk about an actor who I personally admired the most, Sushant Singh Rajput, who has truly impressed me with his acting skills & moreover his humble nature was to die for. Although, he’s not alive now but I still admire his work. In all the roles he has played, it seems like he has become the actual character, living his role to the fullest. I saw his immaculate work in the movie Kai Po Che where he played a lead role showcasing the struggles of a common man affected by 2001 Gujrat earthquake. Another movie in which he played an outstanding role was PK. He even played a lead in a romantic comedy movie Shudh Desi romance. Dhoni biopic, Raabta and Kedarnath proved to be the biggest hits of Sushant Singh in the bollywood movie industry. He gained much fame and recognition after these movies. Sushant Singh Rajput was a talented and promising Indian actor. He comes from a humble background and has faced many struggles in his journey. Most of his movies have been huge suceccess. His death was a heartbreaking incident to the nation but still he is present in our hearts through his spectacular work. Now, whenever I watch any old movies in which he has even a small role, I watch it till the end because of his captivating performance.

IELTS Cue Card 2024: Talk about a time when you gave advice to someone

June 7, 2024 IELTS Research

Talk about a time when you gave advice to someone

You should say:

who did you give advice to?

what advice did you give?

why did you give advice?

How was it helpful and how did he/she feel about it?

Sample Answer

Advice is information that has the potential to positively impact life. Many relate it to finance and education. However, it has broader concepts like managing life, fixing relationships, and many more. However, one must be mindful before seeking advice and putting it to use. Today, I will be sharing a situation where my advice helped my friend Maya get back on the right track in life.

Six months ago, I received a call from my school friend, Maya. I got to know that she had moved to Australia for her further studies. When I inquired about her life in Australia, she started crying. I didn’t know what to do, but somehow, I calmed her down and requested that she share her agony. Maya broke down and mentioned that she feels home-sick and wants to head back to India. She further added that buying groceries was the only reason for her to step out of home; Maya had stopped attending her classes, which resulted in low marks in all her subjects. She explained that her health was declining too. After listening to her, I first asked her to relax and consoled her. I added that moving and settling in another country is indeed an onerous task; however, a lot of people manage it with ease, and she is not less than anyone. She was constantly asking me to help her. Looking after her health must be her first priority. I firmly told her to stop skipping meals and start mediating to attain peace and calm. Secondly, she should attend her classes at least five days a week and try to make friends with her classmates. Lastly, she should keep herself engaged by doing part-time work. Maya and I made a deal that she would follow this for a month, and if it didn’t help, she would return.

After a month, she called me, and this time she sounded better. She started attending her classes daily, taking good care of her health, and soon will start her part-time job at a library. Maya added that she has decided to continue this routine further and thanked me for guiding her in the right direction. I was happy that I was able to help her.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q1. What kind of advice do parents give to their children?

Parents usually guide their children about studies and expect their children to perform better in life. Choosing wise friends and making good decisions in life are the most important pieces of advice that every child gets from his or her parents. Parents always wish the best for their offspring, so they want the best for their kids.

Q2. What advice do parents give to teenagers about making friends?

Parents want their kids to be able to recognize those who genuinely care about their interests. Parents want their kids to develop friendships with somebody they can rely on and be open and honest with.

Q3. How helpful is it to ask for advice before making a decision?

I believe it is one of the wisest things one can do, as it is always prudent to consider or take opinions before concluding any action. After all, ultimately, it’s on us to choose, so having a variety of perspectives should make it simpler for us to pick wisely.

IELTS Speaking latest cue card 2020. Describe a place where you want to read and write apart from your home? Best BAND7 IELTS Dehradun IELTS online simulator IELTS BAND 7 Coaching Classes

SAMPLE ANSWER

There are many places apart from my home where I read and write. One such place is my college library. It’s a new library that has been recently built in the college premises. The building is a beautiful structure with three floors. Each floor is dedicated to different genre of books. On the third floor there is a cafeteria and books for children to pass their leisure time. The students can bring their children as well.

I believe it’s a great initiative to inculcate reading habits in them. The furniture provided there is also very comfortable. This library provides several dedicated work stations with computers and internet connection. Besides that it also has online resources which the students can access and also save the relevant data on their laptops and other devices. All these features make it different from traditional libraries. In fact many students are attracted to visit this library for reference work.

I am studying a course in Travel and Tourism which requires a lot of research on other countries. The library has the latest collection of books on tourism industry. Some books are for reference only and can’t be borrowed so I often visit here to make notes. During my exams I go there every day as it helps me concentrate better than home. I love the ambience of the library. The librarian is also very helpful. He is always ready to search the required books for the students who come here.

Many of my friends also visit this library for making notes and consulting books for their research work. I believe it is one of the best places in the campus of the college to read and study peacefully.

CUE CARD – Describe a place where you go to do outdoor activities or play sports

August 1, 2023 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a place where you go to do outdoor activities or play sports.

You should say:

Where is it located?

What activities can you do at this place?

How often do you go there?

Sample Answer

Health is wealth, an adage that I follow religiously, especially in this contemporary period where health is often neglected due to increased workload and indolence. To keep up with my health, I perform various activities like swimming, yoga, and running; among these, my favourite is yoga. Doing yoga fills me with vitality and invigorates me both physically and mentally. I perform it in an open place that is 100 meters away from my home. One can perform numerous activities since it has a large space that can accommodate many people without any inconvenience, but since it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it doesn’t have many visitors; only those who live nearby are seen. The place has a calm and verdant environment. I regularly visit that place with my friends and sometimes even independently. The place is completely safe, as it is guarded by the army. The place is much cleaner than any other place in my town.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning	Sentence
Invigorates	To make somebody feel healthy, fresh and full of energy	I felt invigorated after working out for half an hour
