IELTS CUE CARD: Describe an object that is important to you

Describe an object that is important to you.

You should say:

  • What the object is
  • Where did you get it from
  • How long have you had it
  • Why it is Important to you

ANSWER:

We all have certain belongings that mean much more to us than their actual price. I would like to take the opportunity to talk about my most important possession.

It is a wristwatch that my father gave me on my eighteenth birthday. It’s a silver-coloured, old-style watch, nothing fancy or expensive, but it holds a lot of value for me. I’ve had it for five years now.

I still remember the day he gave it to me. It was my birthday eve. I was excited all day because I was turning eighteen. At midnight, after cutting the cake, my father gifted me this watch. He said that a watch teaches a person the value of time. He wanted me to become a woman who values the time of others as well as my own. He said that punctuality brings discipline, and discipline brings success. Those words have been imprinted on my mind ever since.

From that day onwards, I’ve worn this watch almost every single day. What makes it even more precious is that it’s not just a gift but also a reminder of my father’s valuable advice. Whenever I look at it, I remember what he taught me, and it kind of motivates me to do better.

There was actually a time when I lost it for a few days, and I felt so anxious and upset, almost like I had lost something quite expensive. But luckily, I found it a few days later, and I was so relieved. I’ve been careful about the watch ever since then.

In the end, I would like to say that this watch is important to me not because of its monetary value, but because of the memories associated with it.

IELTS Cue Card: Helped Someone

IELTS Cue Card: ‘When you helped someone’.

Describe a time when you helped someone.
You should say:

  • Who you helped and why?
  • How you helped this person?
  • What the result was?
  • and explain how you felt about helping this person.

Sample Answer:

I would like to talk about this one time from my childhood, when I helped someone, when I didn’t even know it was a form of help.
If I recall it correctly, the year was 1993; I must have been in my 3rd or 4th year of school. One night we (I, my sister and our parents) were returning from someone’s place; on the way, there was a religious procession going on, and we kids were offered some edibles. I was still holding my goodies when I saw an old man sitting by the road, a few houses away. I gave him those goodies to eat. While he was eating the food, I felt really good. From that night onwards I made it a point, while going to my school, to find him and give him my tiffin to eat. I did it for some time before my parents found it out and stopped me from doing it.
I loved to see his smiling face while eating the food. I know it must not have been much for him. He would always bless me, like a lot. I guess I am what I am today because of people like him.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe an interesting hobby

Describe an interesting hobby.

You should say:

  • what it is
  • what kind of people do it
  • how it is done
  • and explain why you think it is interesting.

ANSWER:

Well, I believe because of individual differences, people find multiple activities interesting depending on their preferences. These activities can be dancing, singing, painting or others.

Personally, I would like to talk about an interesting hobby that I like to do in my leisure time. This hobby is doing mandala art. It is a type of art that originally originated in ancient India. It is actually not very common, but I consider it one of the best ways to release stress. The art is usually drawn in circles and follows a repetitive pattern. Drawing these patterns can be very cathartic. There are two different ways in which it can be done. One way is by directly drawing it; another is by filling it with colours through sketches or paints. I think most people would love doing it, as it is a unique way to pass time. Also, there are a plethora of mandala colouring books available in the market, and so it is not an expensive hobby.

Moreover, I believe that people who are even a little intrigued about art and creativity can begin this activity. I find this activity fun and interesting because if anyone begins their journey in this kind of therapeutic art, they will observe significant improvement in their mental health.

Cathartic: an action or experience that provides psychological relief.

IELTS Cue Card – Study Room

Most of us have a study room in our house. Well, there are some who have a completely different room for study, while there are some who have a corner of their house where they do study. This time we are looking at a cue card that talks about your study room.

Describe your study room.

You should say :

  • how it looks?
  • how much time do you spend there?
  • what according to you, an ideal study room should be?

also explain how would you like to change your study room?

SAMPLE ANSWER 1

Our house had a storeroom next to my bedroom, which I later changed to my study room. The room is a small room with a window facing the garden of our house. Opposite the window is where my study desk is kept, so I can always gaze outside when in stress. The room has a shelf where I keep my books and a smaller desk where I keep all the frequent things. Like, if I am reading a novel, it will be kept on the desk. But, if I had completed reading it, I would probably keep it back on my shelf.

The room is painted white in colour, except for the wall opposite my desk. We have painted it in a dark purple colour because of two reasons. One, it is my favourite colour. Second, it brings a sense of achievement, luxury and yet calmness in my life. Most of my time after the office is spent there! Either I would be reading a novel there or preparing my speeches. According to me, an ideal study room is the one where a person can study calmly. So, it should be far away from all the distractions like television. Also, I think having a window is very important because it gives a person the time to think when in stress. Even a mirror also helps. Because sometimes when you have to learn something or practise it, you need the help of a mirror.

I do love my room, but I would like to have a mirror in my room so that I can practise my speeches well.

SAMPLE ANSWER 2

Our house has two floors and my study room is in the ground floor which makes it isolated and so a better place to be in. The room is a big room with two parts to it, one where my study material is kept and the other where a bed is placed. So, in case I wish to sleep, I can doze off there. The room has a big window, opposite to which my study table is kept. The room has two cupboards where I have placed my books, and then there is a small shelf where I keep the frequent books.

To the right of my study table, there is a small table where my laptop is kept. So, whenever I feel like doing some work on my laptop, I sit on the mat and do my work. On the right of my study table, there is a big mirror where I practise my speeches and often read out novels loud. Well, for the past year, since I left my job, I have always been in my study room or out of the house itself. I think, to an extent, my study room is an ideal study room because it has the mixture of both openness and isolation. There is technology as well as room for old books. It has got a mirror and then a window, which is very essential.

If ever I were to change my study room, I would only change the colour of the room. Presently it is painted in plain colours of violet. I would love to have more vibrant colours like orange and red in the room.

WORD MEANING

gaze: look steadily and intently, especially in admiration, surprise, or thought.

isolation: the process or fact of isolating or being isolated.

Doze off: sleep lightly or fitfully … to fall into a light sleep unintentionally.
