IELTS Cue Card – A friend from childhood you remember very well

A friend from childhood you remember very well.

You should know:

  • When and how did you first meet this friend?
  • What did you like to do together?
  • What did you have in common?

Sample Answer

Friendship is a beautiful relation that touches everyone’s lives in a different way. I too have had many amazing people as my friends, especially during my childhood. I can recall many such friends who were very close to me, but the closest one was Smith.

He was my best friend for a better part of my childhood. I met him when I was 6 years old. He lived in the neighbourhood just two houses away from ours. I met him on the first day in the society garden. I was roaming about aimlessly when he appeared and asked me if I live here. We started talking and discovered a lot of common things to talk about. Soon became the best buddies for almost 7 years until his family moved to another state. We had a lot of matching thoughts and hobbies. We both liked playing video games, collecting comic books, watching cartoons; and reading stories, amongst other activities. We used to go to school and many other outings together. We also played and studied together at both our homes.

Our goals in the future were also the same, as we both wanted to become teachers when we grew up. We even had a similar taste in food and dressing ideas. This friendship was important to me to such an extent that I considered him my sibling more than a friend. He was the only neighbouring kid who I spent the maximum amount of my time with. The best part is all the memories that we created together and the fact that I still cherish them in my heart.

IELTS Cue Card: Talk about a product from your hometown

IELTS Cue Card: Talk about a product from your hometown

Talk about a product from your hometown.

  • You should say:
  • What it is
  • How it is made
  • What it is used for
  • And explain its significance in your hometown

IELTS CUE CARD Talk about a product from your hometown

Sample Answer

Today I will talk about a product from my hometown. I come from a small village in Ghana; my native lands have a rich history in handicraft production and development. But for now I shall focus on the most versatile of them all: the basket.

Our handmade baskets were traditionally made from fibrous materials such as plant roots, bark, vines, banana leaves, cane and papyrus. These were naturally decomposable if rather flimsy. A good basket made in the traditional manner could last two to five years. Now, however, baskets are commonly made of plastic, wire, and in some cases, recycled materials. These have a far longer lifespan, and not all are eco-friendly.

When I refer to a “basket”, I imply a woven material crafted into all manner of shapes for all manner of different uses. Most young girls are taught from a young age how to braid these materials into cases, trunks, jar-like containers, jewellery boxes, carry bags, winnows – anything within the realm of possibility.

That’s why you can never find two identical genuine handmade baskets. There will always be something different among them, be it the structure, pattern, shape, lid, row count or material; anything can vary.

The art of crafting baskets is a cherished tradition. With the tourism industry booming, handmade baskets are a very good income for a rural household. This also gives some power back to the females of the village; in a male-dominated society, they still have a voice because it is their craft keeping the family afloat. During farming season, the grains are winnowed and sifted.

The grains, herbs and spices are stored in cases and jars. They are transported in carry bags to the market. There is hardly a task in my village one can think of that does not pay homage to the art of weaving.

In this way, the basket is more than just a product for our village; it is survival, it is our voice, and it is our craft.

IELTS CUE CARD: Describe your favorite movie

IELTS SPEAKING TASK – CUE CARD

Describe your favorite movie.
You should say:

  • What is it?
  • What is the story of it?
  • When you watched it?

And explain why this is your favorite movie.

IELTS CUE CARD # DESCRIBE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE. Best IELTS Band7 Coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER –

There are some movies that we watch and forget, while some others have an everlasting effect on our lives. I would like to talk about my favourite movie, 3 Idiots. It is a Bollywood movie directed and produced by a well-known Indian director, Raj Kumar Hirani. Since it was based on a renowned novel, ‘5 Points Someone’, and one of my favourite artists, Aamir Khan, is cast in it, I was extremely eager to watch this film.

The film is focused on three college friends from a prestigious institution of India. The plot revolves around the protagonists belonging to different cultural backgrounds who have different goals in life, but they end up in an engineering institution. Thus, talking about how Asian parents force the dreams on their children. One of them has a unique approach towards life and is blessed with a super technical mind. On the other hand, his friends were not that brilliant and were not interested in a particular field.

This movie was released in 2009, so it’s been quite a long time, but it still remains on the top of my all-time favourite movies. I remember watching it with my friends during my school days. The film is beautifully crafted and has some exciting twists. It gained pretty good recognition among audiences worldwide.

This is my favourite movie, as it has many messages to deliver on friendship, success and the education system of our nation. The movie highlights a friendship bonding among three college friends. It also teaches about following our passion instead of worrying about grades in order to be accomplished in life. The film also questions the Indian education system where one gets job placement based on grades rather than creative ideas and invention.

IELTS Cue Card: Helped Someone

IELTS Cue Card: ‘When you helped someone’.

Describe a time when you helped someone.
You should say:

  • Who you helped and why?
  • How you helped this person?
  • What the result was?
  • and explain how you felt about helping this person.

Sample Answer:

I would like to talk about this one time from my childhood, when I helped someone, when I didn’t even know it was a form of help.
If I recall it correctly, the year was 1993; I must have been in my 3rd or 4th year of school. One night we (I, my sister and our parents) were returning from someone’s place; on the way, there was a religious procession going on, and we kids were offered some edibles. I was still holding my goodies when I saw an old man sitting by the road, a few houses away. I gave him those goodies to eat. While he was eating the food, I felt really good. From that night onwards I made it a point, while going to my school, to find him and give him my tiffin to eat. I did it for some time before my parents found it out and stopped me from doing it.
I loved to see his smiling face while eating the food. I know it must not have been much for him. He would always bless me, like a lot. I guess I am what I am today because of people like him.
