IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Subject Taught

Describe a subject taught in your school.
You should say –

– How was it taught?
– What did you learn from the class?

and explain how it helped you.

Many subjects were taught in my school. The subject I’d like to talk about is English. Each year a new teacher used to teach us English.  I remember Ms. Sujata, Mr. Rajan and Sister Rose Charles were among the few teachers who taught us English in different years.

I think we were fortunate to have qualified English language teachers who knew how to teach.  Our teachers made us so engrossed in the subject that we took it seriously. Firstly, each chapter was thoroughly discussed. Then, questions were asked from any part of the chapter, vocabulary could be any word of the chapter and we had to be well prepared for it. So, we were not just limited to questions given in the book or the ones given by the teacher, instead we had to make short questions from the chapter and learn lots of words. Of course it was tough, but it was fun, I’d say. When a chapter with a play came, we enacted it.

So, I did not just learn English, I was fully involved in it. Learning English has been very helpful for me. At a personal level, it gave me  a broader exposure of different cultures, people and their perspectives.  When it comes to work, communication is an integral part of my day-to-day life. I work as a business development manager so I have to communicate with businessmen, stakeholders and many other individuals, all from different parts of the world. Owing to my effective oral and written English language skills, I have achieved great success in my career. Certainly, the credit for this goes to my teachers, my school and my parents.
