IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card

Describe an old object which your family has kept for a long time.
You should say:

• What the object is?
• Where it came from?
• How long it has been in your family?

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Ancestral belongings hold a special place in people’s heart. Here, I would like to tell about an antique chandelier in my house that has passed on from generation to generation. I remember during my childhood, I used to question my parents about that chandelier hanging in the living area. This object belonged to my ancestors and after they passed away, my grandfather kept it as a remembrance of their memory.

My great grandfather was an activist who largely contributed for the peace and harmony between India and Saudi Arabia. This chandelier belonged to my great grandfather who got it as a gift from Dubai long back. As my father had told me about its history, it was a souvenir presented to my great grandfather by a king of Dubai who was impressed by his achievements. Since then it has stayed in the family like a symbol of pride. I feel very proud narrating the story behind it to my friends when they ask me about it.

According to my knowledge, this chandelier is more than hundred years old. It has a classic royal look and consists of multiple lamps hanged in a branched frame with minimalist design. Its gold finish has not faded and is still intact. Though it requires a lot of maintenance, my parents had never thought about getting rid of it. The chandelier is an heirloom and it is very close to my family and it would be a great honor for me to own it someday because of its priceless value.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card

Describe an outdoor activity that you did for the first time.
You should say:

• What you did?
• Where and when you did it?
• How you felt about it later?

and say if you would recommend this activity to your friends.

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Being a lethargic person, I usually end up procrastinating and not taking part in outdoor activities. It was recently that I went on a trek with a few of my friends when they persuaded me to accompany them. As it was my first trek, I enjoyed it greatly and it helped me challenge my physical strength.

I live in Dehradun, which is a valley in Uttarakhand it is surrounded by hills, therefore, we do not have to travel long distances for activities like trekking and camping. Two weeks ago, I went hiking in Mussoorie which is nearly one hour away from my city.

Trekking is a fun activity that mainly involves exploring nature on foot. Though it needed a fair amount of physical exertion, the view it witnessed after reaching our final destination was genuinely worth it. Going for hiking for the first time was not only a recreational outdoor activity, but I also got the taste of living in the wild though just for a few hours. As we just carried some of the essentials, for the first time I experienced cooking in the wild with limited resources which was extraordinary.

I’m glad that I went for trekking as it helped me overcome my fear of heights. I’d highly recommend this activity of everyone because though one gets exhausted, it’s refreshing and an easy escape from the mundane boredom of professional and personal lifestyle. The best part is that you develop a close relation with your friends while helping each other through difficult paths and finding ways as well.

IELTS SPEAKING TASK # CUE CARD

Describe something you bought but did not use much.
You should say:

• What you bought?
• When you bought it?
• Why you bought it?

and explain why you didn’t use it much.

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Sometimes, we buy things we think we actually need but we regret that later. Being an impulsive buyer, I usually end up buying things that seem attractive at first but later I realize their futility. Not long ago, I bought a fancy home theatre system for my room. Though my parents were totally against it, I somehow convinced them to let me buy one. It was a newly launched Japanese company’s home theatre system.

Recently, when my room was getting renovated, I wanted to bring some changes to it. After convincing my parents, it kept an accurate consideration of the space required for the home theatre. To install the system, the walls and ceiling of my room needed modification so that it looked completely fit with the surrounding. Therefore, I got my room renovated coming the home theatre in mind.

Being a movie enthusiast, I always dreamt of having a home theatre installed in my house so that I could binge watch my favorite films and TV series. When I saw its advertisement, it really fascinated me. It was the most advanced Home theatre system in the market which offered an excellent audio quality. The realistic 3D sound effect promised theatre like experience.

After using it for a few weeks, I got preoccupied with studies and used it very occasionally. Rearranging the entire system for every use used to be very unhandy for me. As I’m not very technically sound, I find difficulty operating the system due to which I use it very rarely.
