IELTS Cue Card – New Year Celebrations

With every ending comes a new beginning. The new year is the time when people try to forget their old ways and make resolutions to become better individuals. It is also the time when people party and often loose control. Apart from them, there are still so many people who do not understand the concept of New Year, that there is always hope in life. This time we are looking at sample questions that could be asked in the IELTS cue card section related to the New Year celebrations.

Describe a new year celebration that you still remember. You should say :

with whom did you celebrate?

what did you do in the party?

why is it so special for you?

Also, explain the importance of new year parties in your life?

SAMPLE ANSWER 1

I am 23 now and consciously attended around 12 parties. But I think the one party that I remember and cherish the most is the one we had in our first year of graduation. I had cleared a competitive exam, and during the new year our exams were going on. So, no question of going home. We all were feeling a little low, but at around 11 at night, we heard music. All of the students in our hostel wing came out only to find that our warden had organised a DJ and stuff to eat. He asked us all to join us. Overwhelmed by his gesture, we all went down and danced the whole night.

I remember dancing with around 400 people to songs I had never heard, in languages that I didn’t understand, but it was pure fun. We all became good friends after that and had a blast for the next four years of our graduation. I think the one reason I cherish it the most is because it brought with it a lot of new things for me. I met new people and did things I never did. Like, dancing like a serpent and then like a girl. We were purely enjoying ourselves. There was no senior or junior, just a bunch of people living the moment.

Although ‘party animal’ is not the word that I would choose for myself. But, yes, I do party on New Year. For me, it is the time when I meet all the people I know, the ones I care for. Most probably, go out travelling with them. I believe life is busy, and we should just grab every occasion that we get to enjoy.

SAMPLE ANSWER 2

New year celebrations have never been very exciting for me, but I remember the 2016 New Year. It was the best new year I had to date, and I assume it to be the best to date.

It was during the end of 2015 that there were a lot of personal and professional issues I was struggling with. For some reasons, I started feeling as if this is how life is going to be for a longer run now. Sitting on my couch when everyone else was partying, I remember crying and feeling really bad.

At around 11:30, a really good friend of mine, with whom I recently had a fight, dropped by me. She had been my school friend, and we had shared a lot of things together. Fighting with her did have an impact on me. She had beer with her, scooty keys, and we just left the home together.

When the entire world was partying outside, I remember feeling the air and then reaching our school terrace and drinking beer. We revived our memories together, things that we had done and how life had just changed in some years. How quickly we had grown up. There was nothing particular, but having that kind of talk actually rejuvenated me. It made things so much easier for me. Since that year, every year we meet at our school terrace for a bottle of beer and lots of memories together.

I think New Year parties are a good way of celebrating, and everyone should celebrate New Year, but I believe everyone should enjoy it in the way that best suits them.

IELTS Cue Card – Childhood Skill

We all are the ultimate result of the skills that we learn. There are people who can paint well and, for that matter, some who can play games or write. And it takes the time to build those skills. Skills even as simple as typing can help people go a long way. This time let us have a look at a recent question asked in the IELTS Speaking section.

Tell us about a skill that you have learned in your childhood.

What is that skill?

How has it helped you in your life?

Did your teachers, parents played an important role in nurturing the skill?

Also explain, if you think learning can be done best when someone gives their heart into it or they are forced to do it?

SAMPLE ANSWER

The one thing that has really helped me in my life is my control of keys on the keyboard. I learnt to type when computers had yet not gained much momentum, and we really did not know that it would be of so much use in the near future. However, I really am thankful to my father, who helped me work on it. So, when other children were busy learning by writing things in their notebooks, I used to make my notes on the computer and get them printed.

The entire thing came back to me only when I took up a job as a blogger. When one is writing something, it is good to have the entire focus on what needs to be written rather than how it finally gets entered. My typing speed has not only helped me write better articles but also type them fast, giving room for more assignments and so more money.

Even more, being a coder, it is nice to have control of the keyboard. After all, it is a way by which you can actually interact with the CPU and get things done. Better control means things are done faster and there is less frustration over petty matters.

I believe children need to be exposed to all the new possibilities around them and then let them decide what they actually want. Even if they are indecisive, they should be allowed to try their hand at more than one thing. With time, they as well as teachers and parents will know the one thing the child will be best at.

IELTS Cue Card – Environment Condition

The environment has changed in the last few decades. As man has improved upon the technology, there has been a considerable decline in the environment, with some of the technologies causing more harm than ever. The ozone layer has depleted, and there are clear signs of other harmful effects found in humans and animals. Today, through the cue card questions, we shall be looking at a harmful environmental problem.

Describe a harmful environmental problem.

You should say:

What is it

How it is harmful

What harmful effects it creates

and explain what can be done to prevent this environmental problem.

enviroment problems

A healthy environment is the most important thing for being alive. However, with changing times and improving technologies and declining man-made activities, there has been a considerable effect on the environment, causing a lot of problems. I believe the one problem that we all are facing and will surely decline more is the reducing ozone layer effect.

The ozone layer is the most important layer for us, as it helps protect us from the harmful effects of UV rays, but with the holes in the ozone layer, it has been seen that the temperature of Earth is rising and then there are glaciers melting. Even more, since now the UV rays directly hit the humans, there are more chances of getting skin cancer and cataracts. Even more, some animals are losing their fertility because of ozone layer depletion.

In addition, it causes immune system depletion in human beings, making them susceptible to all possible diseases. There has been a seen effect on the plants, with some plants not being able to grow well, as there has been a decline in the photosynthesis and flowering. Ozone layer depletion has also caused loss of biodiversity in our oceans; rivers and lakes could reduce fish yields for commercial and sport fisheries.

There are several effects of ozone layer depletion, and the scientists are working towards improving the condition of ozone. It can be done if we start planting more trees and stop using the vehicles at such an alarming rate. Even more, a shift towards industries that shed less smoke needs to be promoted.

Our environment is on the decline, and there are several issues that have affected the lifestyle of human beings. One of them is the increased noise pollution. With the coming of railways, jets and vehicles, one can see that there is more honking and unnecessary noise being created.

Noise pollution can be caused by vehicles that honk for no reason, by aeroplanes and rails and often when a rocket is launched. It doesn’t seem to harm at the first point, so if there is someone honking, one won’t die, but when it happens on an everyday basis, so if every day a person is hearing only honks or other undesirable noises, he or she becomes more irritable. Even more, the kids who have very sensitive ears are likely to be affected very badly. In some cases, when the music was very loud, there have been cases of children going deaf.

Noise pollution is very harmful for the old people because, like children, they also have sensitive ears. It has been observed that it not only affects the ears but in some cases even causes heart attacks or nervous system failure.

Apart from humans, noise pollution affects the birds and the other animals, causing a shift in their behaviour. Many marine animals, especially whales, use hearing to find food, communicate, defend and survive in the ocean. Excessive noises are causing a lot of injuries and deaths to whales.

These effects may not sound troubling, but the truth is, with time, the consequences can be very worrying. There are different ways by which we can surely reduce noise pollution. One of them is switching off the devices when not in use. So, the fan should be switched off or the computer, because when not in use, it makes certain noises. Even more, construction of soundproof rooms for noisy machines in industrial and manufacturing installations must be encouraged. Also, vegetation along roads and in residential areas is a good way to reduce noise pollution, as it absorbs sound.

I believe we need to start working before it is too late.
