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.

IELTS Speaking Cue Card # Stress

August 17, 2022 IELTS Research

Describe a stressful day at work.
You should say –

how the day started

how things went wrong

who were the people who were involved

Why was it stressful?

There are so many days that are stressful when I am not able to understand why things are the way they are and why am I not able to do things. Although, often these days very soon get replaced by much brighter day, I remember one particular day that started off with great promises but turned out to be a one kind of a hell, when I just couldn’t respond to anything.

I woke up at around 5, did go to jogging and by 7 started off my work. I worked till 9 in the morning on my blog and then got ready to reach office. On reaching office, I started working on the project and when at around 1, someone just told that there is some work that needs to be done and I am responsible for it. So, just when I was about to go for my lunch, I had to I had to wait and do the work. The work got completed by 2:20 and I had to go to the training from 2:45 to 5:30.

In between, there were calls from family and friends and I could not pick them up. Not only was I exhausted but when I thought that I would go out and relax with my friends, I met some rude and upset faces. It took such a long time to make them believe that I was truly busy, but the sour remained. It was that day, when I was left alone, completely exhausted by work and with no one to comfort me.

By the end of the day, I decided to just let go off the feeling and went on to read Archies comics and ended the day, laughing off and having a good night sleep.

Which would you choose: A stressful job with very high pay or a relaxing job with considerably low pay? Why?

I think it would depend on the situation in which I am. So, if I have the money and I am not in an urgent need of it, I would prefer a relaxing job. But, if the choice is given between two jobs out of which one is what I love to do and the other is not, I would no matter how much stress is there, would go for a job that is close to my heart.

Do you suffer from stress when you have too much work to do?

Yes, sometimes I do. The most stressful days for me are the ones in which I have to work a lot and then there is no one whom I can talk to or fight with and comfort myself. I believe after every stressful or low moment, there should be a day where one can relax and just recharge oneself to be able to do more work.

How can you judge what is the right amount of stress for you?

There are times when I start crying for no reasons known and in those days I realize that I am stressed very much. Because, I don’t know the exact reason of my agony and it comes out in the form of pain. When things like these start happening at frequent times, I just realize that stress is getting over me. But, then there are times, when I am worried about something and I keep on working and going on about it, because I just am in so much fear of losing. I think stress of that kind is fine because it is very much motivating.

Do you keep your worries a secret from everyone?

Most of the times, yes I do. I don’t like troubling people with my issues but then there are times when things get out of my control and when that happen, I tend to share my sorrows with people who are very close to me. They are either my friends or sometimes I even write about it.

IELTS Cue Card # Adventurous Person

August 10, 2022 IELTS Research

There surely are some people who we meet in our lives, who are adventurous. The ones we look at and feel amazed. Let us today have a look at a cue card related to an adventurous person that might be asked in IELTS cue card.

Describe an adventurous person who you know.

You should say:

who the person is

how you know this person

what this person does that is adventurous

and explain why you think this person likes to take risks.

SAMPLE ANSWER – One

I have a friend whom I met in one of the trekking trips that I took to Rishikesh. We were part of the same team and so were most of the times having fun together. It was there that I came to know about how he left his 9 to 5 job, to do what he loves the most, travelling.

Arjun, my friend is a traveler and travels to new places and visits all the extreme locations. So, he has been to Ladakh, Rajisthan, Rishikesh and has done almost all the adventurous sports. But, what fascinated me more about him, apart from these adventurous sports is the fact that he had imbibed in him the feeling of adventure. He believed that it is not just about doing those exciting things which we find exciting but adventure is just moving a bit away from the comfort zone.

And it is in this way that you can actually live your life in the most exciting way. Meeting him then and over a period of time, I realized that in some way he was not just adventurous but a person who lived every moment of the life as the largest one. So, when everyone went to the pool for swimming, he went to oceans. When everyone was busy watching movies, he was creating stories. For him it was never adventure and in some way he made me realized it as well, it is about giving everything to this one moment.

SAMPLE ANSWER – Two

I think the most adventurous person I have ever known has to be my brother. It was in the last year of his Bachelors that he realized his flair for travelling. When everyone was looking for jobs, he decided to travel. Earning some money through freelancing he started travelling. It was in those travels that he picked up day jobs, to let him survive and let the journey going.

It was after one long year that I met him and the stories that he told were amazing. He went hitch hiking from Dehradun to Kanyakumari, taking with him an initial amount of only 1000 rupees. So, there were times when he took lifts, did jobs to let him earn some money and mixed with local people. In the entire journey he was able to learn the basic language for almost 5 languages and can now very well interact with us using those language. He made friends and there are people he goes to meet even now.

When I asked if he did any adventurous sports, he replied saying he did lived an adventurous life. And this was something that did strike me.

Knowing absolutely nothing about what can happen the next moment and then having the faith that everything will work out fine is something that he has learnt from this trip. Although he has taken up a job, but the adventure in him is still alive, the reason why he takes trips every six months.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Family Friend

August 8, 2022 IELTS Research

We all make friends in our lives as we grow. There are some who remain our friends, some we lose touch, either ways, people who do come in our lives, come to change it, sometimes a little, sometimes forever. But, there are some friends we meet either through some previous family relations or we become so close to them that even our families come closer. Today, to talk and honor such friendships which bring two families together, let us have a look at the cue card that talks about a family friend you still remember.

Describe a friend of your family you remember from your childhood.

You should say:

who this person was

how you & your family knew this person

how often this person visited your house

and explain why you remember this person.

Sample Answer 1:

I remember living in a official colony, since my father was a government employee. Most of the people knew each other and gathered together for festivals and daily for evening walks. One such family was of Mr.Pancholi. They used to live next to our house and we both belonging to the same native place came upon to gel with each other.

Pancholi’s had three kids and the one that I became really good friends with was Sakshi Pancholi. Initially, we both had some sort of rivarly between us and did not liked each others company. However, with passing time as we came to know each other, we became really good friends. So good of friends that people started calling us soul sisters.

It was during that time, we would go at each others house almost daily. Sometimes to study together, sometimes eat together and then there were times that we even slept at each others house. It was a great relationship that we both shared and the families loved it. However, soon her father got transfered and they had to leave. When she left, I recall it was for the first time that I felt emptiness in my life.

We had been friends for almost three years and I was in class 3rd or may be 4th. The reason I still remember her is because, I have never been one of those person who had many friends. It was for the first time that I had a very good friend. And after her it was only in class 11th that I again made friend. She has been my first best friend till date.

Sample Answer 2:

As a child, I had many friends but there was this boy, I can remember, his name was Prateek. We did really became good friends and it was later that we realized that our families knew each other and we are sort of family friends. Prateek’s father was actually my father’s team mate and they both knew each other very well.

We both bonded over a match of cricket and then went on to talk about books and cars and famous people and almost everything. Although we were really good friends, I don’t recall having visted each others house very frequent. The only times we would go to the other person’s house would be when we had to call each other for playing game or for cycling or for studying. Most often we used to go to the public library to study because there we got not only silence but also some great books.

The reason I can still remember this person is because we truly had a great bond over the period of four years. We would go about talk and cycle and play and then study. There were times when we would fight with each other and sometimes fight for each other. It was an amazing relation and we still are in touch. However, the relation is not the way it used to be, but however it is, it surely is great.
