Sample Answer

Learning is a continuous process that one undergoes throughout all his life. Schools are the starting phase of this journey where we learn a lot about various subjects. Such lessons stay with us all our lives. I still remember most of what I was taught in school but one particular lesson that I learned in my fifth standard math class is memorable.

I was taught mental math in a lesson during my fifth grade. Mental math is a way to calculate answers for simple mathematical problems using quick calculation skills and facts about mathematics. It helps me quickly solve various complex problems by the use of methods such as division, multiplication or addition. Practising mental math can enable us to mentally calculate without the need of writing. I have practised the lesson to set it in my memory. It is effective, faster, and aids during tough situations that might require quick and logical thinking.

During this lesson I learned various methods to make calculations in different ways which save time during tests or other real-life situations. This lesson also motivated me to practice such exercises to become more adept at estimation and computation of larger figures eliminating the use of pen and paper. I am thankful to my school for providing me with such useful knowledge which is of practical importance in my everyday life.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q1: Why do people learn maths?
Absolutely! Maths is one of the most important subjects taught in school. It builds our basic understanding of how things work. It helps in the development of the brain and enhances our cognition capability. Basics of mathematics like addition, subtraction, etc are something that we use in our everyday lives. Even a little kid wanting to buy candy would quickly make a calculation in his head about how many candies he can get. From candies to corporations, everything runs on mathematics. Thus, it is an indispensable part of learning.

Q2: How is maths helpful in our daily lives?
In my opinion, Maths is very useful in our daily lives. We need to make hundreds of calculations in a given day. Starting with grocery shopping to how we take our business forward, everything needs mathematics. Mathematics is also fundamental in the development of a child’s brain and kids who are better at maths have more chances of being more successful in life.

Q3: Should maths be compulsory for all students to learn?
Well, I think basic maths should be a part of our learning as it is indispensable to our day-to-day lives, and we can’t get away from it. However, some aspects of mathematics like advanced algebra and trigonometry can be done away with as these are too complex to be used by non-professionals and students can learn other more useful subjects instead.

Describe an exciting activity that you experienced with someone else

IELTS Cue Card,

Describe an exciting activity that you experienced with someone else

You should say:

  • What the activity was
  • Who you were with
  • When and where it happened

Sample Answer

I am fond of adventure, and I believe it ignites the hidden adventurist in me. I had thalassophobia since childhood until I tried rafting at Rishikesh. Whenever I visit Rishikesh in the summer, I make sure to try rafting. It is a thrilling water sport that intrigues many people these days. Today, I will be sharing my first rafting experience, which I had with my best friend. My best friend is a native of Rishikesh; he has been asking me to give rafting a try for a long time, but I couldn’t go. In 2021, on the occasion of his birthday, we decided to give it a final short. We straightaway went to the person who conducts this activity. After signing the contract, the instructor guided us about the safety measures we needed to follow. To be honest, I was frightened to see the Maa Ganga River. She looked calm from outside but was extremely fugitive inside. Before starting the ride, I greeted Maa Ganga, as she is the most worshipped goddess in our culture, who nurtures this planet and is said to remove everyone’s sin. When the ride started, I was very nervous, but as it went on, I gained confidence and got extremely excited. It was indeed a thrilling experience to face the real power of water. It feels absolutely magnificent to be swimming in the middle of Ganga Ji. Since then, I have tried this activity more than five times; it was a surreal experience I have had in my life.

Word Meaning Sentence
Intrigues Fascinating The story really intrigued me.
magnificent Truly beautiful, breathtaking She looked extremely magnificent at the party.

CUE CARD – Describe A Historic Place You Know

Speaking – Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a historic place you know

  • What kind of place it is?
  • What does it look like?
  • Where it is?
  • And explain how the place is related to history
Sample Answer

Historic structures serve as a reminder of our rich history and former splendour. Since I was little, I have always been fascinated by history. I used to read a lot and study the history of ancient times. I never pass up the opportunity to tour historical sites. It’s an intriguing encounter. I paid my aunt, who resides in Delhi, a visit last year. I had the chance to explore the Red Fort, one of India’s most popular tourist destinations, there. It is among the world’s seven wonders. It’s a massive red-painted palace. It was our first visit there.

The enormous gate that welcomed us was a stunning work of art. Many notable historical buildings remain, including Hira Mahal, Mumtaz Mahal, Rang Mahal, Meena Bazaar, and many more, despite the fact that the majority of buildings are either shattered or severely damaged. With a long history, Meena Bazaar is a well regarded destination for retrophiliac and antiquarian enthusiasts. In the past, it was mostly exclusive to women—royal ladies and noblemen’s wives, to start. It used to happen exclusively on designated days of the week or on significant occasions.

Nowadays, Meena Bazar is held every day from the afternoon till the evening, which has somewhat modified the situation. In addition to the massive garden’s doubled attractiveness due to its abundance of seasonal flowers and plants, I also saw a few peacocks. Overall, the Red Fort is a symbol of great Mughal architecture and prowess in the past.

Speaking -Part 3 (Follow up questions)

Here are some examples of follow up questions that the examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3)related to the cue card ‘DESCRIBE A HISTORIC PLACE YOU KNOW.’
Q1. How do you feel about the preservation of historic structures in your country?
Since it exposes historical events and helps us comprehend who we are, where we’ve come from, and perhaps even where we’re going, Second, they are one of the prominent tourist attractions that generate a considerable amount of GDP and are a source of livelihood for the natives.

Q2. Do you think people should learn about history?
Certainly, studying history allows us to observe and understand our past better so that we can learn from mistakes and figure out rational steps for the future. Learning history will allow us to understand how our ancestors lived and behaved, as well as the similarities we have.

Word Meaning Example
Antiquarian A person who studies or collects antiques or rare books Antiquarian booksellers are usually old
Splendour Magnificence Due to high tourism, this place has lost much of its original splendour.
