IELTS CUE CARD – Describe a festival that is important in your country

IELTS CUE CARD – Describe a festival that is important in your country.

You should say:

  • When the festival occurs?
  • Why it is celebrated?
  • What people do and explain what you like or dislike about it?

SAMPLE ANSWER

India is a country of festivals and celebrations. Today, I’d like to talk about one of the most popular festivals of North India. It is known as Diwali.

It is celebrated every year either in the month of October or November. The festival represents the victory of good over evil, and its historical significance is related to the Sikh and Hindu religions. According to Hindu mythology, Diwali is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. The people of Ayodhya welcomed him by illuminating and decorating the whole city with earthen lamps.

So, Diwali is a festival of lights. The preparations of the festival go on for a month. People renovate, clean and decorate their homes with lights and candles. Another special thing about Diwali is making floral or geometric patterns on the floor using bright colours. Also, people do a lot of shopping for their households and buy gifts for their loved ones. In the morning, most families visit temples. In the evening, all family members worship the Goddess of wealth, take blessings from their elders and enjoy various delicacies and exotic sweets. Thereafter, adults and children burst firecrackers.
I too enjoy celebrating this festival with my friends and family, as it keeps us connected with our tradition. The only thing I dislike about the festival is the bursting of firecrackers. It creates air and noise pollution, which causes health problems among the elderly and the young ones. Even pets suffer a lot because of the loud noise caused by firecrackers.

IELTS Cue Card – TV Presenter

Describe a TV presenter.
You should say:

  • who is she or he?
  • what programme does she or he present?
  • how does she or he present the program?

and explain why you like / dislike him/ her.

Sample Answer 1

Today, I’d like to talk about a renowned TV presenter. He is our country’s favourite TV show presenter, Kapil Sharma. His series, Comedy Nights With Kapil, is one of the most famous and funny television programmes. Even people from foreign countries watch this show and come to experience Kapil live.

Kapil Sharma has changed the way comedy shows are hosted in India. Some people often say that he is the country’s finest comedian and one of the best presenters our industry has ever seen. There are many Bollywood stars who wait to come onto his show, and every movie that is about to get released is surely promoted on his show.

One thing that I love about him is that he knows how to make people laugh and the witty answers that he gives – they are truly amazing. At times, there are people in the audience who try to be oversmart with him or maybe sometimes rude with the guest stars. Without losing his temper, Kapil Sharma cleverly deals with them and makes everyone laugh.

Kapil Sharma shows have two parts. In the first part, funny scenes are enacted in a family setting using dialogues, dance and music. In the second part, celebrities come to the show to talk about their life, achievements, challenges and their talent. Kapil and his team create a funny environment in which everyone gets engrossed.

I think one reason why everyone loves him and his show is because, in some way or the other, it strikes a chord. We can see some irritating and lovely characters in his show that we can relate to. And then, the dialogues are so amazing that people tend to repeat them in their daily conversations, making it a great show.

Sample Answer 2

 

I love watching TV shows hosted by presenters. Today, I’m going to talk about my favourite TV presenter. His name is Rannvijay. He hosts the most famous youth show called ‘Roadies’. Apart from being its presenter, he also takes part in selecting candidates for the show. He is one of the best TV presenters that our television industry has seen in almost a decade.

His presentation style is very interactive and people-centric. The way he connects with the audience in the show is amazing. Other things that I really like about him are his speaking style and fairness. His voice is commendable, and when the participants are wrong, he finds it not at all difficult to tell them that they are wrong. At times, when any candidate experiences injustice, he is the first one to come forward. So, it is not just about reading the given script but about managing the entire show, making sure that the candidate’s true colours come out.

In one of the shows, Rannvijay was also the participant, and he played his part really well. There were times when he lost and other times when he won. But the most important point was his never-dying spirit. And this is the spirit that he tries to bring to the contestants and, in some way, to the whole nation. I really admire his talent.

IELTS Cue Card – Favorite Restaurant

Describe your favorite restaurant.
You should say-
• where it is?
• What it looks like inside and outside?
• What kind of foods they serve?
What makes this restaurant so special to you and others?

 

Sample Answer:

My city is home to numerous fast food outlets and traditional restaurants. Today, I am going to talk about a restaurant which I love.

My favourite restaurant is Countdown, and it is situated at the centre of the city I am currently living in. From the outside, the restaurant doesn’t look very impressive. It is located on the ground floor of a three-storey building. It is quite big widthwise, but not in terms of length. It has large glass windows at the front, and vehicles are parked all around it. But once you step in, it is not only spacious but also surprisingly well-organised and elegant.

They offer a wide range of cuisines, including Italian, Indian, Thai, Pakistani and local varieties. This gives you a wide range of options to choose from.

I, and many others who know about this place, find this restaurant quite unique because of its delicious food and high standards of hygiene. Not only that, but the prices are also reasonable, and the food is served quickly as opposed to some other restaurants where you will have to wait for a long time for your order to appear on your table. They also play soft background music, which makes one forget about all the tensions and stress of life. The waiters and other staff are friendly and welcoming.

Unlike other restaurants, they even ask for feedback, and customer complaints are taken very seriously. All in all, I think it is one of the best restaurants in my city, and someone visiting the city should surely go there.

IELTS CUE CARD – Describe a crowded place you have visited

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 at 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.

Giggling laughing lightly and repeatedly in an excited, nervous or silly way
