birthday Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer

Life has given me a lot of happiness and moments to celebrate with my near and dear ones. I have celebrated many happy moments by hosting parties for someone and attending other people’s parties as well.

I have attended many parties on different occasions in my life but the most enjoyable one was a party that I held to mark my elder sisters twenty-fifth birthday. It was a surprise party that I planned with the help of my mother. It was on the twenty-fifth of September last year, and I had started to plan it two days before. After my sister left for work in the morning I started decorating our garden and installing the setup including the tables and chairs. My mother started baking her favourite chocolate cake while I called all her friends and our relatives to the party in the evening. I then proceeded to order snacks and appetizers along with the beverages for the evening. The celebrations finally commenced and all the guests had arrived before she came. We welcomed her with the birthday song and hugs from everyone.

We all had an amazing time at the party. Everybody socialized, we played party games, danced and had a lot of fun throughout the evening. The best part was the fact that everyone was happy with the celebration and there were smiles all around me. My sister got gifts from everyone and was all smiles when I gifted her a necklace. She was spellbound and thanked me profusely for organizing such an amazing party.

Sample Answer 2: 

Frankly speaking, I am not a party buff and usually attend only those parties wherein I know some people or there is something exciting going on. The party that I am going to talk about is the one I went to last year. It was my friend’s friend birthday bash and she invited all of us. Initially, I was fine with going there but later on my friend told me she could not come along and I almost cancelled my plan, when my friend’s friend actually called and invited me again to come.

Hesitantly, I said a yes and I would say that was the best yes I had ever said. The party was in Rishikesh, a tourist spot in Uttarakhand, India. It was a night party and there were campfires, music, dance, games and a lot of interesting people. To my surprise, Anusha i.e. my friend’s friend knew a lot of people and had invited them all. And I met and talked to many interesting people that I might otherwise never have come across! This included the self-employed interior designers; marathon runners; entrepreneurs, and writers. It was exciting to talk to them and find out how they are connected with the host.

Not only were the people great, but the food and other services were also fantastic. There were stalls of different kinds and one could eat whatever they wished. And it was really tasty food too!!

What’s more, I discovered that actually, I did know quite a few people there after all. I am almost won over. Next time she offers to host a party, I might even find myself looking forward to it, you never know.

IELTS Speaking Part 3: questions related to parties/celebrations

Question. 1: What are the main reasons why people organise family parties in your country?

Answer: Family parties are very popular in my country. Most People organize special parties on birthdays and marriage anniversaries. Some young adults give parties after getting good grades in their exams or after being promoted to a high level position.

Question 2: In some places people spend a lot of money on parties that celebrate special family events. Is this ever true in your country? Do think this is a good trend or a bad trend?

Answer: Yes, wealthy people in my country throw lavish parties to celebrate special family functions. The pictures of their parties are often shown in newspapers. Even though it’s their own money, I feel that it’s a disturbing trend. It promotes discrimination in society and widens the gap between the rich and the poor.

Question 3: Are there many differences between family parties and parties given by friends? Why do you think this is?

Answer: Yes, there are. Family parties tend to be more formal as compared to parties organized by friends. Social decorum and elegance both are maintained in family functions. On the other hand, people feel freer in the parties of their friends. They normally don’t mind too much drinking or dancing, but in family functions any kind of misbehaviour can create a lot of problems.

National celebrations
Question 4: What kinds of national celebrations do you have in your country?

Answer: My country has two main national celebrations: the Independence Day and the Republic Day. The Independence Day is celebrated on 15th August and the Republic Day is celebrated on 26th January.

Question 5: Why do some people think that national celebrations are a waste of government money? Would you agree or disagree with this view? Why?

Answer: Some governments spend huge sums of money on national celebrations. If a country is facing problems like unemployment, illiteracy, poverty or poor infrastructure, then people will certainly complain about the money spent on national functions. In my view, the government should focus on the development of the nation rather than showcasing their military might in national celebrations.

late Time

SAMPLE ANSWER

Usually, I am quite punctual. But, one day I was really late for an important appointment. Today I will talk about that incident.

A few months ago, I appeared in the IELTS test. My speaking exam was scheduled on the 13th June, Monday, 9:00 am. I was supposed to report at the test venue, hotel JSR continental, Dehradun, at 8:30 am.

It rained heavily on Sunday evening and the weather forecast predicted incessant rain for a few days. Considering the bad weather, I set the alarm for 6:00 am and went to bed early. I was feeling very nervous and I couldn’t sleep well. Despite that I woke up on time. After getting ready, I left the home to catch the bus. When I reached the bus station, to my surprise, there was no bus and many commuters were stranded.

It was quite chaotic as nobody knew the reason why buses were not plying as usual. It was 7:50 am and I was still at the bus station. My anxiety was increasing enormously because there was no other mean to reach Dehradun from my village. Fortunately, a bus arrived and I boarded the bus. It took a lot of time to reach Dehradun as there was a head-on collision of a truck and a car on the main road. Looking at the site, I understood the reason why buses were running late.

Finally, I reached the center at 8:55 am. I explained the situation to the center manager and requested him to allow me to appear in the interview. He was very understanding. Later, I was given the permission to give the speaking test. Even though I was very late, I didn’t lose hope. In the end everything worked out well. I did my best. I thanked god for everything and went home happily.

IELTS Cue Card #An interesting dish you like

An interesting dish you like

 

  • What it is
  • Where you ate it
  • How it is made
  • Why you liked it

 

An interesting dish you like

Sample Answer:

In today’s world internet has made it easier for people to try different cuisines of the world. I have a passion for cooking and in fact internet has also helped me to learn about different recipes from around the globe. Cooking is my favourite leisure activity and I do it whenever I feel down as it helps me boost, my creativity as well as helps me satiate my cravings. Today I would like to discuss about one interesting Dish that I really like. The dish is Som Tam. It is a Thai cuisine salad. I first ate it an Asian restaurant in my city “Kylin”. I really loved the flavour of this salad so last Sunday, I also tried making it at home. I was really surprised that it turned out to be as authentic and tasty as I experienced it in the restaurant. It is super healthy as it is made of raw papaya and that is the only made ingredient which is used. Because of one ingredient it gets effortlessly easy to prepare. I just added some crushed chilies, garlic and peanuts. The dressing is really easy to prepare as one has to just add few sauces and the mouthwatering flavour is ready. Everyone in my house like it and praised my cooking skills. Now I make it almost every other day and have it during snack time. It has helped me to do healthy snacking. Moreover, it’s really beneficial for our gut health. Som Tam has proved to be particularly healthy for me as it is good for women’s health, specially in curing PCOD/ PCOS. Therefore, I suggest it to every woman around me who is suffering from any such disorders.

FOLLOW UP Questions:

Q1: Should advertisements for unhealthy food be banned? Why or why not?

Answer: Definitely, advertisements for unhealthy food must be banned as they are harming the masses on a large scale. People today are inclined towards consuming such unhealthy foods because they are advertised widely with the false narrative.

Q2: Do you think films and TV-series should promote healthy eating?

Answer: Nowadays youth is influenced by celebrities and they in fact follow them religiously. People try to imitate their favourite celebrities’ lifestyle as well as their food habits so that they can look as beautiful and flawless like the celebrities. TV series and films are the best way of promoting healthy habits.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Mobile Application

Describe an app you use in your mobile phone. (Describe a mobile application that you use.)
You should say:

  • what it is?
  • how you use it?
  • what benefits do you get from it?

and explain why this mobile app is important to you.

Sample Answer1:

My smart phone has many pre-installed applications in it and some that I installed and I love using them all. However, if I had to choose one, I will definitely go for WhatsApp. I think it is one of the best applications made in the history of mankind making it so easy for us to be in touch with people we care about and then it doesn’t matter where we are in the world. It is affordable, user-friendly and easily accessible. We can not only talk, send text messages, but we can share videos, audios and photos with anyone. What an amazing thing to do!

One is free to do whatever they want to. We can form groups and be connected with so many people together, it is almost like talking to so many people together and having fun. Not only for friends and family, I have even found WhatsApp very important for my workplace. It is a one step solution for sharing documents, discussions and follow-ups with clients. The best part is that we do not have to worry about the hefty bills and roaming charges.

The reason this application is very important for me is because I have a job which requires me to travel a lot and then I have got family and friends back home. It is with WhatsApp that I am able to share my whereabouts with my loved ones and the amazing life that I have.


Sample Answer2:

There are several applications that I have downloaded on my smartphone but I think the one application that is very important for me and I cannot barely live without is definitely YouTube. The best part about the application is that I can put the videos that I like in offline mode and watch them anytime I want to and even more, the videos don’t take up my phone’s memory but are stored in some server making space for more things that I can do on my phone.

I have made my account on Google using which I use the YouTube application. This application was pre-installed in my smartphone and I remember watching a lot of videos on it, before doing a video offline. It has been almost more than four years since I have been using this application whenever I need to find out something. It could be a lecture on a course that I am taking or may be a song that I want to listen. Also, almost all movies upload their trailers on this site, which can be accessed using this application. It is more like that friend you need when there is no one around.

I remember learning DBMS, a course important for my job taking from this application and doing a great job. The reason this app is so important for me is because using it I can learn so much and be updated about the social life and then get updated about the latest news or songs or everything that is happening in this world. It is so easy and yet so powerful.


mobile application

Sample Answer3:

I believe we are living in the world of applications, I mean there are so many apps out there and so much that can be done. But, the one app that is very important for me is blogger. Being a blogger it is more like God for me. There used to be times when I wanted to write down things and those were the times which were haphazard and I just didn’t knew where to write. Because writing it on phone memo, meant when I am actually putting it down, I need to re type it again which took away the creativity of it.

But, with blogger it is so much more easy. I can just write down memos into it, make some drafts and then put them into proper format when I feel like or when I go down to typing in the laptop. Even better I can very easily edit any of my own posts and get to know the people visiting the blog. And for doing all of it, neither do I require any laptop nor any specific requirements. A simple smart phone and that is it.

The reason it is important for me is because, no matter the final blog I put out is from my laptop but the drafts, I make them mostly using this application. Also, it is so much more easier to do things, be creative and enjoy writing just at my fingertips.
