IELTS Cue Card – Environment Condition

June 19, 2026 IELTS Research

The environment has changed in the last few decades. As man has improved upon the technology, there has been a considerable decline in the environment, with some of the technologies causing more harm than ever. The ozone layer has depleted, and there are clear signs of other harmful effects found in humans and animals. Today, through the cue card questions, we shall be looking at a harmful environmental problem.

Describe a harmful environmental problem.

You should say:

What is it

How it is harmful

What harmful effects it creates

and explain what can be done to prevent this environmental problem.

enviroment problems

A healthy environment is the most important thing for being alive. However, with changing times and improving technologies and declining man-made activities, there has been a considerable effect on the environment, causing a lot of problems. I believe the one problem that we all are facing and will surely decline more is the reducing ozone layer effect.

The ozone layer is the most important layer for us, as it helps protect us from the harmful effects of UV rays, but with the holes in the ozone layer, it has been seen that the temperature of Earth is rising and then there are glaciers melting. Even more, since now the UV rays directly hit the humans, there are more chances of getting skin cancer and cataracts. Even more, some animals are losing their fertility because of ozone layer depletion.

In addition, it causes immune system depletion in human beings, making them susceptible to all possible diseases. There has been a seen effect on the plants, with some plants not being able to grow well, as there has been a decline in the photosynthesis and flowering. Ozone layer depletion has also caused loss of biodiversity in our oceans; rivers and lakes could reduce fish yields for commercial and sport fisheries.

There are several effects of ozone layer depletion, and the scientists are working towards improving the condition of ozone. It can be done if we start planting more trees and stop using the vehicles at such an alarming rate. Even more, a shift towards industries that shed less smoke needs to be promoted.

Our environment is on the decline, and there are several issues that have affected the lifestyle of human beings. One of them is the increased noise pollution. With the coming of railways, jets and vehicles, one can see that there is more honking and unnecessary noise being created.

Noise pollution can be caused by vehicles that honk for no reason, by aeroplanes and rails and often when a rocket is launched. It doesn’t seem to harm at the first point, so if there is someone honking, one won’t die, but when it happens on an everyday basis, so if every day a person is hearing only honks or other undesirable noises, he or she becomes more irritable. Even more, the kids who have very sensitive ears are likely to be affected very badly. In some cases, when the music was very loud, there have been cases of children going deaf.

Noise pollution is very harmful for the old people because, like children, they also have sensitive ears. It has been observed that it not only affects the ears but in some cases even causes heart attacks or nervous system failure.

Apart from humans, noise pollution affects the birds and the other animals, causing a shift in their behaviour. Many marine animals, especially whales, use hearing to find food, communicate, defend and survive in the ocean. Excessive noises are causing a lot of injuries and deaths to whales.

These effects may not sound troubling, but the truth is, with time, the consequences can be very worrying. There are different ways by which we can surely reduce noise pollution. One of them is switching off the devices when not in use. So, the fan should be switched off or the computer, because when not in use, it makes certain noises. Even more, construction of soundproof rooms for noisy machines in industrial and manufacturing installations must be encouraged. Also, vegetation along roads and in residential areas is a good way to reduce noise pollution, as it absorbs sound.

I believe we need to start working before it is too late.

Feel free to call for suggestions and queries.

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.
