IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Computer Games

July 29, 2022 IELTS Research

There is this one thing that most of us have done during their childhood and some do even now and that is playing computer games.Be it playing Mario or the newer games like Counter strike, computer games have always been amazing. Let us today have a look at the questions related to computer games that might be asked as a cue card.

Describe a computer game you have played.

You should say:

What it was

When you played it

What the game was about

And explain how you played this game.

I have never been a huge fan of computer games but the one game that I loved playing as a child on my computer was Mario. I believe Mario is one of the most famous games of our times and it is rarely anyone who has not played the game.

I remember, I was in class fourth when my father brought home computer and at that time the games were sold in CDs. So, me and my friends got a CD and installed it on our computer. We loved the game and played it during holidays. We would have bets as to who will reach to how far a level and how much points a person will score.

We used to keep track of all those things and then if there used to be a tie, we would find out what is the score of the person. There was so much of fun and excitement associated with the game that we hardly got time to think of anything else.

The game was about this guy Mario who was out there to save his queen, so his aim and hence our aim was to make sure that he reaches the queen. To do so, he had to fight lot of enemies and animals and jump through fires and lots more to reach destination.

We used to play the game using keyboard and had some dedicated keys for the particular actions of Mario. Most of the times we used to play in group, but sometimes I even enjoyed playing it alone. But, one thing is for sure, the game was amazing and almost addictive. I have loved it through my entire childhood and remember playing it even when I grew up.

I loved playing computer games as a child, so me and my friends would figure out what is the new game that is being launched and would go and buy its CD. Although, later on the games started becoming available online and we could transfer games through pen drives, I still believe that there was much more fun associated with buying games from CD.

Although, there have many games like angry birds and counter strike that have come up and surely they are very exciting, but the one game that I still love is Doom. It was an amazing game and almost exciting. So, in this game you had your gun and you need to check out every door and see if their is a killer on the other side and kill it before he does, or their is life on the other side.

And in the midst of all that, find out the key that takes you the next level. I used to play this game alone on my PC and enjoy. But, me and my brother used to have bets as to who will reach a particular stage faster and who will score the more.

I remember those days and it was so much fun, fighting over the computer and playing games and enjoying life.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Help Received

July 25, 2022 IELTS Research

There are so many times that we help people and more often receive help. Help is the only way, people believe, that we remain human. A person who cannot help others is of no use being called human. Let us today have a look at a cue card that talks about a help that you received.

Describe a time when someone helped you.

You should say:

Who helped you

When it was

Why s/he helped you

And describe how you felt about it.

Sample Answer One

There have been many a times when I received help and it is something so often that I wonder what would have happened had I not received the help. But, I clearly remember a day when I was helped and I felt really nice.

I had to go to my brother’s college for some work and I was not aware of how to reach there. So, the local transport dropped me at a place and I thought from there the college would be a mere km away. Thinking that I started walking down the road but after walking around an hour I could not find even a hint of his college. As I was exhausted and started asking people as to where the college is, there came a boy in his scooty and told me that the college is really far and there is no way I can reach there on my foot. He asked me to get into his scooty.

Initially, I was scared, because I had really no idea about the place and it was all jungle around. So, either ways I hopped onto his scooty and he did dropped me outside the college. There were times when I was worried but he later asked me if I wanted to go back along with him as well. Although, I refused that help, I was really happy and felt grateful for his help. He did knew me and just like others he could have behaved strangely but he left me to my destination and in no ways sounded someone who wanted any evil out of me.

It was a true pure help and I wished him all the best for his life.

Help Received

Sample Answer Two

There are so many times that I get help but the one time I remember getting help was when I was in eighth grade. I had decided to participate in our school annual festival and was among the seven girls who were part of the dance team. We used to practice a lot and everything but I was one of the weakest. There were times when it took me days to get the step right and then there were days when I would just even after trying so much could not get the step right.

Those were some irritating days and after some time even my team members started coming in and telling that I should rather leave the group. My initial reaction was that I wont be leaving the group. I have practiced and I will do good. Although I had said that, I felt bad and I started crying in the stairs. May be my teacher came to know about it or whatever, she called me and told me that in life it is not how much you know but how much you practice to get what you want in life.

She told me that I had done a great thing and I should move on with it. After that, she started teaching me extra lesson for the dance and I was able to actually dance well than most of the girls in the school.

I remember it till now because it was for the first time, I can recall, I stood for myself. And then people did started coming in to help me. It felt great because I felt as if I am important as well and my opinion does matter. It has helped me a great deal to do things in life the way I do them now.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Journey You Went

July 21, 2022 IELTS Research

Describe a journey you went on –
You must say –
– Where did you go on your journey?
– Why did you got to this particular place?
– What did you do and with whom?
and describe why you enjoyed your journey? Or if not why?

I like visiting to random places without much information and planning and figure out things for myself. One such trip that I took with my father was a journey to Nainital.

The journey was one of the best I had taken in several years and it happened around three years back. We all were at our maternal grand parents house and my uncle came and invited me, my brother and my cousin brother to go to Almora, that is the place where my paternal grand-parents lived. I was very much excited about the trip and had my bag packed and was about to leave when my mother objected, saying I can’t go.

I felt very bad and ended up crying that day. The next day my father came to me and said that he wanted to go to market to buy things and he wants me to come along. To my surprise instead of going to the market, we went on to the road that took us to Nainital, a hill station in India. It was a fantastic road with great weather. The best part was we were travelling on a scooty on hills, so we couldn’t go beyond 20 km/hr. Going smoothly and slowly, my father told me about his school days, he showed me the place he visited as a child and the first place he worked at. The journey was like a father telling his experiences to his daughter while driving a scooty in the hills and eating corn.

After about 2 hours, we reached Nainital, and that was really special, because me and my father were doing boating for the first time and that to together. It was Nainital and all of the hills were surrounding us, there was this beautiful voice of birds and ducks. He told me about how the place used to be and how it has changed. So, for me it was a very emotional and exciting trip.

On reaching home, everyone was like you just went for an hour and it is now ten hours. We all laughed and it is still the most memorable trip that I had.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Favorite Song

September 1, 2021 IELTS Research

We all listen to music, it is for all of us an escape from reality. The times when we feel sad about things, when we feel happy, most often than not we try to express through music. Let us today have a look at a cue card that talks about favorite song.

Describe a song that you like.

You should say:

What is it.

How often you hear it.

What types of people listen to it.

and explain why you like this song.

I really love music and over the years there are lot many songs that have come up to inspire me and help me to get out of the rut that I am living in. But, the one song that I really fell in love and have enjoyed over the years is, “Both Of Us by BOB and Taylor Swift”.

The song is about the people who are trying to fulfill their dreams. It talks off their struggle, their emotions and how they feel when the world rejects them. The singer says that he is there for all of the people who are trying to fulfill their dreams. It is about how it is not about just lifting yourself from rut but also the people near you.

I love this song because in some ways it helps me to stay focused and move on towards my dreams. It is very motivating and the background music is amazing. I remember hearing this song on a loop when the days are tough and I am not able to do anything. Because it is on these days that I can fully relate with this song.

Most of the people hear to it, most probably the ones who are bothered about something or are trying hard to achieve something in their lives. It is that powerful, that strong, that you can actually feel powered hearing it.

Our film industry is famous for making songs and we have produced some great songs of all times. But, the one song that helped me in so many different ways was
“Brothers Anthem”. The song is talking to an individual and is persuading him or her to believe that they have the potential and that they love God and now they need work so hard that even God, rises up and asks for his or her wish.
The reason that I love this song is because it is very positive and motivating. It does not talks about what you need not to do but rather what you have to do for becoming successful. And more importantly, it tries to explain the essence of life. It is truly amazing and one could just go about listening to it again and again.

I remember during my training days, there were times when I was tired and did not knew what to do, there were times when I could not understand anything and in those times I used to listen to this song in a loop. For some reasons, this song gives me the motivation to move ahead in my life, to cross all barriers and just focus on my goal.

I think most of the people listen to this song for the same reason. It has got high beats and when you listen to it in a speaker it gives you the Goosebumps to go out and achieve something.
