Sample Answer

Life has given me a lot of happiness and moments to celebrate with my near and dear ones. I have celebrated many happy moments by hosting parties for someone and attending other people’s parties as well.

I have attended many parties on different occasions in my life but the most enjoyable one was a party that I held to mark my elder sisters twenty-fifth birthday. It was a surprise party that I planned with the help of my mother. It was on the twenty-fifth of September last year, and I had started to plan it two days before. After my sister left for work in the morning I started decorating our garden and installing the setup including the tables and chairs. My mother started baking her favourite chocolate cake while I called all her friends and our relatives to the party in the evening. I then proceeded to order snacks and appetizers along with the beverages for the evening. The celebrations finally commenced and all the guests had arrived before she came. We welcomed her with the birthday song and hugs from everyone.

We all had an amazing time at the party. Everybody socialized, we played party games, danced and had a lot of fun throughout the evening. The best part was the fact that everyone was happy with the celebration and there were smiles all around me. My sister got gifts from everyone and was all smiles when I gifted her a necklace. She was spellbound and thanked me profusely for organizing such an amazing party.

Sample Answer 2:

Frankly speaking, I am not a party buff and usually attend only those parties wherein I know some people or there is something exciting going on. The party that I am going to talk about is the one I went to last year. It was my friend’s friend birthday bash and she invited all of us. Initially, I was fine with going there but later on my friend told me she could not come along and I almost cancelled my plan, when my friend’s friend actually called and invited me again to come.

Hesitantly, I said a yes and I would say that was the best yes I had ever said. The party was in Rishikesh, a tourist spot in Uttarakhand, India. It was a night party and there were campfires, music, dance, games and a lot of interesting people. To my surprise, Anusha i.e. my friend’s friend knew a lot of people and had invited them all. And I met and talked to many interesting people that I might otherwise never have come across! This included the self-employed interior designers; marathon runners; entrepreneurs, and writers. It was exciting to talk to them and find out how they are connected with the host.

Not only were the people great, but the food and other services were also fantastic. There were stalls of different kinds and one could eat whatever they wished. And it was really tasty food too!!

What’s more, I discovered that actually, I did know quite a few people there after all. I am almost won over. Next time she offers to host a party, I might even find myself looking forward to it, you never know.

IELTS BAND7 Cue card Talk about a situation when you had to wait

Sample Answer:

Nobody likes to wait. Specially in these modern times, people have lost their patience because of the fast-moving technical era. In today’s world, everything is fast and quick. Be it the speedy delivery of food that we order on Swiggy and Zomato or ordering items on Blinkit. Even I am such a person who does not like to wait. However, there was a situation where I had to wait for a long time, and today I would like to discuss it. So this is a recent incident when my younger brother was appearing for his competitive examinations. He recently did his schooling, and he enrolled for a competitive exam, which is NEET. This exam happened in the month of August this year, and I went along with him to the examination center. The whole situation was quite stressful, and my brother was nervous for his exam. On our way, I was trying to calm him down. As soon as we reached the examination center, he went inside and started doing all the preparation procedures. I could see him standing in the queue, and I was waiting outside on a bench under a tree. Within 15 minutes, the whole queue had cleared up, and my brother went inside the examination hall, and I lost his sight. Now I had to wait for him till he completed his paper. His exam was for three long hours, and it was a hot, sunny day. For the first hour, I was just watching reels on my mobile phone, and the time passed easily, but soon my phone’s battery went low, and I had to keep my phone aside. It was now that I realized that it would get difficult for me to pass the time for the next two hours. The climate was getting more hot, and I was thirsty, so I walked out of the examination center to find a shop where I could buy a chilled water bottle. I couldn’t find any shops nearby, but luckily I saw a cafe. So I went to this cafe, and it had a very cozy corner where I sat and ordered some coolers and a sandwich for myself. I finished eating. I saw There was a magazine in this cafe, so I picked it up and started reading it. Soon I realized an hour had already passed. It was a great relief for me after eating and reading, and I went back to the examination center and started waiting on the same bench, but this last or seemed the most difficult to pass. The sun was on my head, and I was sweating. I realized that coming back to the examination center was a bad idea and I should have stayed at the cafe itself. After 10–15 minutes, I saw four little kids approaching the tree under which I was sitting. These kids came there to play, and I asked them if I could join. They were very happy to have my company, and we played for the rest of the time. This was the best thing that I did that day. It was very relaxing to play with the kids, and I relived my childhood. While playing, I suddenly heard the bell ringing, and it was the alarm about the examination’s ending. I waited for another five minutes for my brother to come out, and I was really happy to see him and hear that his exam really went well. So this was the longest time I had to wait however it was not that boring as I thought it would be.

IELTS CUE CARD – Talk about a time you received good news.

October 17, 2024 IELTS Research

IELTS CUE CARD : Talk about a time you received good news.

You shoukd say:

When it happened?

How you got the news?

What the news was about?

and explain why the news was special?

SAMPLE ANSWER

We always work hard in our lives to get good results. Sometimes good news are the outcome of hard work, but other times we get unexpected good news in our lives. Today, I would like to narrate such an incident that recently happened in my life.

I live abroad, away from my family. It has been one year since I have been living in London to pursue my higher education. I rarely get time to talk to my family in such a busy schedule, and video calls are only possible on weekends. This incident is of the day before yesterday, while I video called my mother at my home in India, I suddenly saw that she was holding a newborn baby in her arms. I was happy as soon as I saw the baby.

It was so cute—just a bundle of joy wrapped in my mom’s arms. I asked my mother who the baby was, and she exclaimed with joy that it was my nephew. It was indeed a surprise for me, as I have been far away from my family; therefore, I wasn’t aware that my sister was pregnant. In my whole life, this has been the best news that I have ever heard. At the same moment, my heart sank because I could not hold this cute little baby in my arms and give him a warm hug.

This was the most special news for me because it was the first baby in the third generation of my family. I could see a lot of other relatives in the video call who are roaming behind. They were all happy, cheering, having a good time, and enjoying with the baby. This is such good news that now, I have booked my tickets to India, and I will be traveling soon in the next week to meet my nephew and see him in real life and cuddle with him.

IELTS CUE CARD – Describe a crowded place you have visited

October 14, 2024 IELTS Research

IELTS CUE CARD – Describe a crowded place you have visited

You should say:

Where is it?

When you went there?

With whom you went there?

Explain how you felt about being there?

SAMPLE ANSWER

India is densely populated, so if we are stepping out of our homes we hardly find a place which is not crowded. I normally avoid visiting overcrowded places.

Recently a Shopping Complex was inaugurated in my hometown. It is situated on the outskirts. A lot of advertisements appeared in the local newspaper to promote it. One weekend I decided to visit the Shopping Complex with my friend. It was Sunday and we planned to go there in the afternoon. We reached the Complex around 3 p.m. I was in the mood of shopping clothes so we headed towards a clothes store inside the Complex. Both of us selected few garments and went towards the trial room to try the outfits.

Surprisingly, there was a long queue outside the trial room. I found it really funny. My friend and I started giggling about it while waiting for our turn. After waiting for about 15 minutes we were able to try our clothes. Both of us selected a dress each and went towards the billing counter to make payment. On finding a queue there I started laughing again and nudged my friend while waiting for our turn.

As soon as we paid our bills we rushed towards the Food Court as we were quite hungry. It was 5 pm already and the Food Court too was packed with people. With great difficulty we managed to buy burgers and fries for ourselves. While we were eating, the crowd kept on increasing.

We quickly finished our meal as I started feeling suffocated. I rushed out of the Complex gasping for fresh air.

That day, I decided I won’t visit this Complex on a Sunday ever again.
