Sample answer:

One particular event which I remember quiet clearly was when I had to babysit my little niece Apu. She was about 4 years old and adored stories. In order to entertain her I picked the obvious route of introducing her to a story telling based game. This game heavily relied on the use of a creative imagination. I started off with a sentence which she in turn completed. Together we both created a magical world with flying mermaids and ice cream houses, it would have been quite a sight to behold. As we were creating the world beyond our dreams, I realised I felt like a mischievous kid. Once more I was free and happy, oblivious to what lay beyond our happy little world. Together me and Apu had a blast, we did not even notice when the time flew by. Since then it’s become her favourite game and we always play it together whenever I visit her.

IELTS Band7 Speaking Cue Card. Describe a holiday destination you have visited. Best BAND7 IELTS Dehradun IELTS online simulator IELTS BAND 7 Coaching Classes

Sample answer

Today I am going to speak about a place where I went on holidays.

The name of the place is Manali. It’s a picturesque hill station located in Himachal Pradesh, a state in northern India.

I went to Manali last week with my family. Since it is quite far, approximately 500 kilometers, from my hometown Dehradun, we decided to set off on Friday night. It was a very long drive, about 12 hours. We reached there on Saturday morning.

Manali has a lot to offer to its tourists of all ages. For the elderly and religious people, there are many ancient temples. Young adventure seekers have a wide range of sporting activities like skiing, snowmobiling, rafting, river crossing, trekking and paragliding etc. at their disposal.

On the first day of our holiday, we trekked through a dense cedar forest to reach Hadimba temple. It is the oldest temple of Manali and has a lot of religious significance in the local community. The next day we went to Solang Valley. Fortunately, we found plenty of snow in the valley. Without wasting our time, we made a small but very pretty igloo. We took the photographs of all the places we visited.

This place has impressed me very much. The main reason is its pleasant weather. Apart from that, people are honest, friendly and co-operative. They always give you the right information. Transport facilities and hotels are also well-maintained.

IELTS Speaking latest cue card 2020. Describe a crowded place you have visited Best BAND7 IELTS Dehradun IELTS online simulator IELTS BAND 7 Coaching Classes

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.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Each one of us has personal preferences regarding the season they like. Some like summers, some like winters while others enjoy the rainy season. If I talk about myself, my favourite season is the winter.

I was born and brought up in Dehradun popularly called the Doon valley. It is situated in the foothills of Mussoorie, one of the coldest hill stations of Northern India. Due to its geographical location the Doon enjoys all four seasons. The weather begins to change around mid-October, when the mornings and evenings start getting a bit colder. The winter season sets in November and ends in February. Despite being cold, the days are sunny. I like to bask in the sun with a hot cup of tea and read a book on a cold sunny morning. I usually spend hours reading in my garden without really being bothered by what’s happening around. There are special flowers that bloom during this season, the chrysanthemums and marigolds are the most common varieties. I love to gaze at these flowers in my garden in between my reading sessions.

A wide range of winter foods is another specialty of this season. I love to cook and I spend my time in the kitchen cooking hot meals which are a favourite among all my family members. Usually, at the end of the day I take a cup of hot milk and watch my favourite TV show before going to bed.

I follow this routine throughout the 3-4 months of the winter that prevails in my town. This is the most enjoyable period of the year. I always look forward to this season.
