IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card

Describe a club you organized or involved in it.

What type of club it is?

What is your involvement there?

And explain why it is important to you.

SAMPLE ANSWER

During my graduation days, I was an active member of the college youth club as I took part in various extra-curricular activities and organized youth clubs as well. Here I would like to talk about a Youth Cultural Club which I was a part of. It was basically a club that encouraged university students to participate in cultural activities. The students irrespective of their field, organized and participated in the events organized by the club such as youth festivals, inter-college competitions.

I was a member of this club for nearly three years. Coming from a commerce and business background, my involvement was basically towards the promotion and management of events organized by the association. It aimed at enhancing the personal skills and talents of the students thereby boosting their self-confidence, teamwork and time management skills. I felt responsible and mature enough when we had to collaborate for the entire team and worked day and night to make our cultural events a huge success. After graduating, though I’m no longer an active member of the club, I still feel very passionate about everything that I’ve learned there.

The cultural club was a crucial part of my college days as I learned a lot about self-discipline, creativity and facing obstacles during events. Being a part of this club helped me realize that life isn’t a bed of roses and once has to come across criticism from time to time. Before joining this organization, I was more of an introvert but it helped mold my personality and I got great exposure by being a member of this club.

Talk about a time when you teamed up with an old person

Sample Answer

Teaming up with an elderly can be a memorable experience. Today, I’m going to share one such experience with you.

I was in 10^th class. The preparation for board exams was a never ending process. I found it quite hard to stick to a monotonous routine. Finally, the exams got over but they had drained my energy. All I wanted was a change in my daily routine. My parents were working full-time. They took many days off during my exams. Naturally, it wasn’t possible for them to take me on a holiday. At last, I asked my grandfather if he could come and take me to the village.

To my surprise, he came the very next day. I was very excited about my holidays. I packed my bag and we happily set off in the afternoon. We reached the village late in the evening. My grandfather showed me the house. Even though it was dark, I could clearly see some work was going on in the garden. My grandpa said we would work together tomorrow.

The morning was beautiful. After breakfast I went to the garden. It looked a little rusty and needed a make-over. My grandpa was building a bench. I observed him for a while and then joined him. The bench was ready in the evening. We decided to place it in front of the pond. Our next plan was to plant some new colourful flowers. He had already bought pots of many different shapes and sizes. So, I helped him in filling them in with soil and compost and planting flowers like marigolds, lilies and dahlias etc. We kept all plants at different places. I dug out a fire pit too.

Our garden renovation project lasted for more than a week. I loved it as each day was different. We could see the progress of our work which gave us a sense of fulfillment. Together we transformed a dull garden into a lovely outdoor space. All in all, it was the best time I’ve ever spent with an old man. I will never forget those holidays.

Cue Card # Describe a common dress that females in your country wear.

March 21, 2022 IELTS Research

IELTS Speaking Task # Cue Card

Describe a common dress that females in your country wear.
You should say:

What type of dress it is?

What it looks like?

Is it common in other countries?

and explain whether you like this dress or not.

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Sarees are pretty common attire for the women in India. As a matter of fact, India is a land of traditions and according to our ancestors, women generally wore cover up clothes like sarees and suits which is a symbol of Indian cultural values. There are 29 states in my country and each state has different types of sarees available and the material depends upon the climatic conditions of that state. A traditional saree is more than just a piece of clothing as it is said to accentuate women’s beauty and elegance.

Saree is a classic long piece of unstitched fabric draped by women. It is passed down through generations in our country. In fact, there are nearly 50 ways in which one can drape a saree and it looks graceful in each way. The Indian women consider saree to be one of the most practical dress and they hardly take five minutes to drape it.

Though saree is not a common dress in other countries, western women nowadays like to wear it occasionally as they believe it highlights the curves of the body and helps conceal the flaws as well. Many lightweight and printed sarees are gaining popularity in the international market these days and has become a subject of appreciation for worldwide designers.

I personally admire and choose to wear a saree on special occasions as they are available in different materials and designs. Adding a saree to one’s collection adds a sweet spot to a women’s wardrobe. Though I don’t own a saree of my own, I consider my mother’s saree collection to be a special treasure as they have a vintage touch to it which makes them all the more beautiful and exquisite.

Well, there are times in life where we face tough choices or predicaments that leave us confused in terms of decision calls. We always have someone or the other in our lives who may give us a piece of correct advice or help us with decision-making processes. I too have also faced a few dilemmas regarding my life choices from time to time.

One such time was when I had completed a year in my bachelor in engineering degree. I was tensed as I took up the course under parental pressure and it was not my first choice of career. In spite of my best efforts, I was unable to perform and score passing marks. I was at my wit’s end and thought about changing my course in order to opt for another one. Subsequently, I decided to speak to my maternal uncle about the issue. He has been a very supportive pillar all my life. He took note of my issue and knowing my aptitude for business studies, suggested me to opt for bachelors in business administration instead. I was always connected to him and he understood somehow, that I could do well in this field. I made up my mind and let my family know as well.

In the end, with his support, I changed my course and completed it with flying colors. Indeed, it was a great decision as it has turned around my life for the better. As a result of this decision, I was able to secure a well-paying job.
