IELTS Cue Card # Important Letter

August 29, 2022 IELTS Research

There are so many times when instead of choosing a direct face to face conversation, we choose letter or emails to express ourselves. Some of them are the

Describe an important letter you wrote to someone.

You should say:

When you wrote it

Whom you wrote it to

What it was about

And explain why it was an important letter.

Sample Answer One

There have been many letters that I have written which too an extent have shaped my life but I remember writing a letter to a friend I drifted apart after some misunderstandings. For a very long time, I wanted to know the reasons behind the things that happened in between us and why we tried to do the things that we did.
It was almost frustrating and annoying and after three years I gathered all the courage and wrote to him.

I told him about how I felt about our relation and what irritated me and how I felt after it all was over. The entire journey of three years, I penned it down, hoping for some explanation on his behalf as to why he did what he did. But, for my shock or surprise, he simply told me that he has forgotten everything and even if something had happen in the past, it is all over and there is no specific reason behind it.

I was shattered in the beginning because I truly had to think a lot before I could just pen down everything and instead of giving me any explanation he simply sided away. The reason the letter was very important for me because I could finally move on with my life and there were so many things that I learnt. One of them being that there is no point being silent in a relation and then you have to make sure that the first person to respect you and love you is you and you are responsible for whatever happens to you.

I believe had I not written the letter, I wont have ever gathered the will power to move on with my life and make something good out of it.

Sample Answer Two

There have been so many letters that I have written in my life, both at personal and professional level. But, the one letter that I regard as truly important for me and the one which actually helped me shape my career is my resignation letter.

I remember working for a multi national company for about a year and it was during that time that I realized that this job is not giving me any fun and excitement to live about. There is a fixed salary that I get and there is nothing much more than that. No targets to meet and nothing exciting.

There is no work pressure and the feeling of getting things done, because you are working as a team and it is more about collective, so neither the praise nor the punishment comes to individual and I think in some ways it takes away the individuality from the person.

The reason the letter is very important for me is because I had to think lot of times and it was after I had written around 3 resignation letters that I finally decided that I want to do something else with my life. It was a great experience in that company but what was great was to be able to end the journey at the right time. So, I had to fight with my friends and family and the people who care for me the most and then do something that is best for me.

It was after that letter that I realized that I do have lot of courage and can do whatever I want to in my life.

IELTS Cue Card # Ways To Relax

August 24, 2022 IELTS Research

There is so much work that we all do but when it is all work and no play we surely get tired easily. Most of the people, hence figure out a way to relax a bit. Let us today have a look at a cue card that talks about ways a person can relax.

Describe a way to relax that you find effective.

You should say:

what you do

where & when you usually do this

who you usually do it with

and explain why this is relaxing for you.

Sample Answer One

I really like taking short breaks while I am working. So, after having worked for almost like an hour, I would go out of my seat and walk a little bit here and there, drink water and just completely close my eyes for some time and be proud of myself for the work that I have done for an hour.

I do it almost for everything. So, it could be while I am playing or working or for that matter while I am studying. It is very important for me because I believe that having a ten minutes break in every hour, not only allows me to push myself harder, it also helps me not to get drained by the kind of work that I do.

I am a software engineer and doing the relaxing thing makes me more committed and focused towards the work. Although, people go out and relax with their friends, I prefer doing this activity alone, so I have no one to talk to and can completely feel good about peace and silence and just go back to work with new mind.

The reason it works for me is because, I am not that sort of a person who can work a lot. But, then I have got dreams which I need to get fulfilled. This every hour break makes me feel as if I am having my quality time and I am able to relax a bit here and there. This allows me not to be exhausted or over whelmed by the work that I do.

Sample Answer Two

I love relaxing after a tiring day but for me the best way to relax is by playing badminton. So, every day after I have finished my work I go out to play badminton with my friends. It is almost exciting and relaxing because to be able to play the game well it is very important for me to forget about whatever has happened in the entire day and focus on what is happening at the present.

This exercise not only makes me good because it is a kind of physical activity but also refreshes because there is so much of mental activity involved in it. And then I with my friends take up those silly competitions, like who is going to win, how long can we play and things like where to hit the target. It is amazing and makes me feel good and prepared for the other day.

Also, when I am playing, it makes me feel as if I am having both, work life balance which helps me go out and do my work in a better way. Because, after the work I know that I do have time for myself and I can enjoy with my friends.

The reason I love it is because apart from just whiling away my time, I am actually doing a physical and a mental activity and it helps me to be able to remain fit and work better.

IELTS Cue Card # Future Goals

August 22, 2022 IELTS Research

We all have future goals, we all want to be something, achieve something and put a mark in this universe. Let us today have a look at the cue card that focuses on this aspect of us, the goal that we have for our lives.

Describe what you want to do in the future.
You should say:

What is it?

When you want to do it?

How you want to achieve it?

and explain why you want to do it.

Sample Answer One

We all make goals for our lives, the ones that we all work hard to achieve. In my future, I would want to open a company that gives equal education rights to everyone. It is seen that the government is doing a lot in educating people. But, there are a lot of loopholes in it. For example, the education quality is not that good. Even more, there is discrimination that happens on the basis of caste and religion which does hamper the education.

I want to be able to provide good, healthy education to everyone. I wish that the people who study in my school are the ones who go about and shape the future. They are the ones who ahead of themselves think about other aspects of life and human beings as well. The ones who are not just machines doing things, but humans living life.

As per my plan, I have started taking baby steps towards it and I hope that in the near future it will become a part of me and I will be able to contribute more into it. There is no such particular time that I have set for achieving it. I just want to get it legally started in my 20s and make sure it grows and expands even after my death.

The only reason that I want to be able to do this is that I want to give back to the universe the gifts that I got. Education is the best of the gifts I have ever received. I believe that a person who is educated right can make society a better place and I wish I be the one who starts it.

Sample Answer Two

Every one has future goals and aspires to be someone or do something. I particularly have no future goals apart from the one which states that I want to live my life. I want to happy and I wish that ten years from now when I look back at my life, I should be able to recall it. So, I want to travel around the world, click photographs, talk to as many people as I can and explore my country.

I believe that my country India is very vast and apart from what has been written in the history books, there is so much more to it. There are stories of the common man, stories of uncommon kindness, stories that have kicked off the stereotypes and told that it is more about humanity and living happily. Everything else is secondary. I want to tell the world about my magnificent country. Find out what is written in the history books, the religious books, what is that is not written and everything. Someday I want that I am able to represent India and like me, every Indian is able to.

Most probably I would be having a blog in which I will put all my learning and experiences to be shared with the entire world.I wish to write about India and its magnificance. Once I am able to do this, I wish to explore the world outside, beginning with Africa. I want to find out reasons for things like war, peace, agreements, terrorist. Why when we all know we have got a small life, end up fighting, hating or ignoring. We are here to love ourselves, our work, our people and the beautiful world that we all are living in.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Career

August 20, 2022 IELTS Research

Describe the job/ career you have or hope to have.
You should say:

what the job is

what is involves

why you would chose it

and explain why you are interested in this job.

Sample Answer:

I love travelling, reading and writing. So, if ever I get a chance to switch my career from an IT professional it would definitely be of a traveler. I want to be the person who travels a lot, makes memories, meet lot of people and then write about it. My story has lot of stories in it and lot of characters and emotions. I wish, if ever I write story about myself, it be of lot of colors, experiences and moments.

Travelling involves basically travelling to lot of new places, exploring it and meeting new people. It is about getting to know about new cultures and new ideas. There are so many stories of our country that are hidden in the hearts of people and these are the stories that I want to explore. I wish that someday I am able to show the world the true India.

There is no particular reason why I chose it, it was neither for money nor for fame. The only reason that I want to travel all around the world is because I want to know people and their stories and what they feel about things. I just love it. You know when people express their fears, their joys, their emotions. It is so much more exciting. And then when you visit a new place, there is so much promising in it. You get to know about the history of the place and for some reasons the present starts making so much more sense when you know about your past.

Even more, it gives you that feeling of freedom. So, you are not associated with a particular job and there is no boss. You are your own boss, you need not to listen to anyone but your heart and it is very exciting for me. To do things, not because you are told to do them, but because you feel like doing them. There is no rationals behind them, anymore. It is so much more of heart and so much more fulfilling.

What is the most famous sector in your country?

Most of the people in my country are associated with Information technology. So, you would find lot of software engineers in my country. Apart from them, there are people who prefer banking sector or may be the teaching sector. However, in the recent times there has been a substantial change in the way people make career choices. Now, we find lot of people interested in going to photography or making a career out of writing and it is amazing. Because there are so many more creative heads out there.

Do you think people in your country are paid according to the work they do?

Well, for the most part I think people in my country are paid less when compared to the ones of foreign countries. People out here are much more talented but when it comes to salary, often people work at less wages and stressful days. It, I believe, is one of the major reason why people prefer going to companies that offer onsite opportunities or may be after some time start working for biggies that offer much more salary.
