IELTS CUE CARD SAMPLE QUESTIONS # 2018 SERIES, IELTSBAND7 DEHRADUN
Music brings soul to so many people’s lives! It teaches us to enjoy life and in many ways helps us to move forward during the tough times of our lives. This time we are looking at some speaking questions about music.

Do you listen to music often?

Music has been a very important aspect of my life and it has helped me to go through all the sad and the happy times. It has not only taught me some great things about life, it has also taught me how to turn around things when nothing seems to be going right.

Do you listen to music when you are studying or driving?

I do listen to music while I am studying or driving as it helps in clearing my mind. The more I listen to music the more I feel relaxed. But, while studying if the work is highly important to me I prefer to do it in solace.

What kind of music do you prefer? Why?

Music is a great thing to listen and I usually prefer the songs that motivate me to be better individual. So, in my playlist it is all about all the motivational songs. There are some rock songs, some country songs and then there are even some Hindi songs.

Do you download music from website or buying a CD? Why?

I prefer buying music from the website, because it is better to store it in the phone than to carry a CD. Either ways, in our current world, the entire world is moving toward digitalization, so I prefer keeping my entire world at one place.

Do you think your taste in music will change in future? Why?

I am not very sure of it, but most probably it will change.

What kind of music do people in your country prefer?

Most people in my country are preferring the Bollywood songs over the newer English songs. However, there is also a good chunk of people who do listen to the Hindi old classics.

Do people in the present listen to the same music that people used to listen in the past?

Music has changed over the past decades. In my country, a few years back, people preferred more of classical music rather than the rock or EDM sort of music. But, with time the taste of individuals has changed. More people are today inclined towards music with lots of beats and mix of different cultures.

IELTS academic essay writing about Job Market

April 8, 2021 IELTS Research

IELTS academic essay writing about Job Market

In today’s job market it is far more important to have practical skills than theoretical knowledge. In the future, job applications may not need any formal qualifications.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

BAND7 DEHRADUN

Sample Answer:

In the present scenario, it is extremely important to have experience rather than just the subject knowledge. With the passage of time, practical skills are overpowering the value of formal degrees. In my opinion, skills and theoretical knowledge both are equally essential, which will be discussed in this essay.
Formal education provides an evidence that an individual is qualified for a job which also inculcates job-specific skills. We can not trust a doctor who does not possess a medical degree. For professions such as doctors, engineers, teachers, it’s essential to have a formal education otherwise it will put a question mark on their authentication. In addition, Educational achievements and income are associated to each other, better the education, higher the salaries. For instance, doctors, engineers, advocates are among the highly paid professionals, hence it is very important for individuals today to complete a college education.
On the contrary, any formal degrees can not prove that an individual is actually capable of the job in the real world situation. There are instances where better-educated workers also have lower rates of unemployment due to lack of experience and practical skills. Acquisition of new skills always adds weightage to one’s professional value. That is the reason why internships are gaining popularity these days. These trainings provide skills and hands-on experience to individuals.
To recapitulate, in an ideal case, both the education and experience are required for an individual to excel in real-world job situation. Academic knowledge helps in being more versatile while practical skills help in advancing your expertise. (260 Words)

IELTS Essay – Extra classes for children after school

March 30, 2021 IELTS Research

IELTS Academic Writing Task 2. Essay – Extra classes for children after school

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

Many parents today organize extra classes for their children after school and at the weekends.

Do you feel that this is worthwhile thing to do or do you feel children have enough education at school?

Sample Answer

Over the past few years, people have become used to the idea of extra classes. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of this practice is a matter of debate. While some assert that it puts a burden on a student’s life, I think that these classes can be highly beneficial.

To begin with, extra classes are more personalized and problem-specific for the students. Children have the freedom to discuss complicated questions with the teacher which is not possible in a formal class as the teacher is under the pressure of completing the syllabus. What is more, teachers can give full attention in one-to-one sessions. Students, therefore gain a piece of in-depth knowledge about the topics. It also encourages students to do group study which enhances their team spirit. Supplementary classes can also help the students to revise what they have learnt in schools. Such classes improve and enhance the knowledge of a student as they can get immediate solutions from the teacher which is not possible in self-study.

On the contrary, extra classes can be an unnecessary burden on children. Not every student requires extra attention. When students are forced to attend extra classes they become uncomfortable and lose their interest and attention in regular classes. What is more, every student is unique and has different needs apart from academic. Extra classes will waste the time that can be utilized in games, competitions or developing other important life skills.

Overall, in my opinion, extra classes are an effective approach to enhance students’ academic performance. However, parents should understand the needs of their children and focus on their overall development. (270 Words)

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card: Describe your favourite part of the day.

February 16, 2021 IELTS Research

Describe your favourite part of the day.

Which part of the day is it?

What do you do during this time?

How is it different from other parts of the day?

evening-hours Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in Dehradun

Sample answer

A day is divided into four parts namely morning, afternoon, evening, and night. I like evenings more than any other time of the day. I am not a morning person at all and find evenings to be more in sync with my character.

Evening hours follow the afternoon from four or five o’clock to seven or eight o’clock. Mornings to me seem highly tiring and it is a chore to wake up every morning and go about my daily routine. Evenings, on the other hand, are more relaxing for me. This is the time when I can be done with my routine tasks and get some time to relax. Actually, I have many evening rituals that consist of having a cup of coffee along with a good book to read, to watch a movie, to sit and talk with my family, or to play with my dog and take it out for a walk. This time is soothing and rejuvenates me after a hard day’s work. I can find different ways to unwind and reinvigorate myself.

Evenings are different from other times in the day as they have a more calming effect and urge you into a state of relaxation. The sun sets during this time and it goes dark signifying the start of the third part of the day. This phenomenon is always a satisfying sight to see, regardless of the surroundings and the weather. This is why I really enjoy the evening more than the other times of the day.
