Describe an area of science that interests you or you are interested in

Describe an area of science that interests you or you are interested in

You should say:

What area of science it is
What is it about
How you got interested in it

And explain why you enjoy it so much

I think that science has made an immense contribution in uplifting human society. It primarily has 3 branches, physics, chemistry and biology and if I talk about myself, I am particularly interested in biology and would like to talk about the same.

This area of science involves the study of life and living organisms, including their physical structure, development and evolution on the Earth. I got interested in this subject when I was in 6^th standard, as the subject was introduced to me for the very first time. My school books were full of pictures of animals and plants. I was surprised to learn how a tiny seed grows into a healthy plant, different species of flora and fauna; habitat in which they can survive and the features which help them to do so. Whenever, I saw a picture of a plant or an animal it made me even more curious about this subject.

My teacher, Mrs Rawat was an exceptionally knowledgeable person and she made this subject easy and fun learning with her teaching skills. I remember vividly, there was a science lab in my school where we used to go every Saturday to carry out experiments and the activity I enjoyed doing in the lab was to observe micro-organisms with the microscope. There were times when students did not understand the lessons for the first time and Mrs Rawat have not scolded any children when they ask for an explanation to the teacher. In fact, for better understanding of certain aspects she often organized trips. Once our school organized a trip to Botanical Garden in Kolkata. It was a memorable trip and I had learnt a lot from this trip about different species of plants.

Although, I have not studied biology in my senior secondary and college, I have a keen interest in this subject and in order to know more about different life forms and to keep my interest intact in this subject I do watch wildlife and plant shows on educational channels like Planet Earth and Discovery.

IELTS CUE CARD – Talk about a person who taught you something important

December 19, 2020 IELTS Research

IELTS CUE CARD – Talk about a person who taught you something important

Talk about someone who taught you something. You should say

Who this person was?

What did they teach you?

When was this?

And describe what you learned.

Sample Answer One

Learning is a never-ending process. The first things we learn are to think, to talk, to walk, basic behavioural quirks that we adopt from our family and environment. Later on, in life, we choose to learn higher-level skills such as reading, writing, mathematical reasoning and skills classified as extra-curricular. Examples of those skills might be learning to play an instrument, handicrafts, learning to ride a bike, art, and video gaming etc.

Now I will proceed to describe how a dear friend helped me discover the intricacies of braiding complex patterned friendship bracelets. This was back in the summers of primary school, my friend and I were next-door neighbours, and so quite naturally we used to spend all our time at each other’s houses. As 9-year-old girls are meant to do, our favourite pastime was drawing and playing on the swings.

It was, however, one fateful day when my friend was messing around with some string, tying them in seemingly pointless and frankly rather obscure knots. I did not understand the point of her actions but sat down to watch her anyway. She kept tying knot after knot after knot, soon enough I discovered rationality to her pattern. And why, before my very eyes she produced a magnificent friendship bracelet!

Made with a mosaic of diamonds I could not have told you how she achieved such a feat despite being present the entire duration of its creation.

A day after that I demanded she teaches me. She was reluctant but agreed eventually, though she warned me that I would not be reaching her level of expertise for quite some time. And how right she was! It was a tedious process, learning the different types of knots, the ways to tie them, how the direction determines the shape, all with a dual sting thread. Eventually, I learned to handle more threads, become more experimental with the intricacies. And Before we knew it, the summer had ended. This time we went to school with matching bracelets, for my final task had been to make her one to repay her for her patience, goodwill and friendship.

Sample Answer Two

SAMPLE ANSWER

Life is all about learning. Whether it’s a new skill or some life lessons to live a more fulfilling life. All play a key role in our lives. Today, I’d like to talk about how I learnt to drive.

I’d always wanted to learn how to drive but my father insisted that I should finish my schooling first. So a week after my exams we made a plan for learning driving. We decided to get up early in the morning and set out to a huge ground located in the outskirts of the town. It was safe to practice there in the morning.

It was fun to learn driving. I felt on top of the world when every morning I sat on the driving seat next to my father. He never scolded me and always encouraged me with a positive attitude. He is the most patient person I’ve ever come across and even when I bumped into a tree he continued to motivate me and turned my fears into cheers!

At the end of a month’s training, I slowly started driving on the road. Eventually I became an expert and was able to drive in heavy traffic as well.

This training not only made my life easier and independent, but also gave me the opportunity to spend quality time with my father.

IELTS Cue Card 2020 Questions # Describe a good news that you recently heard

December 11, 2020 IELTS Research

A good news is something we all pray for. Something that always brings happiness into our lives. Good news could be on ourselves or something that we hear about others. This time we are looking at a cue card that was asked recently in the IELTS speaking test.

Describe a good news that you recently heard. You should say:

what was the good news

how did you received the news?

who was the news about?

also, explain your reaction on hearing the news.

SAMPLE ANSWER

We are living in times when it has become so hard for people to share the good news. Even when good things happen, people often start looking for even better things. But, this one time, I remember, I got a call from a very old friend of mine. We had not talked with each other in a while and initially, getting a call from her was in itself really good news for me.

But, as she went on, she told me that she had won the Toastmasters Speech Contest at National level and is all set to win it Internationally. The mere fact that my friend had achieved her biggest fear and has done something worth remembering for, made both of us cry the tears of joy. Toastmasters is an International Organization where people join in to learn the art of speaking.

As I know my friend, she had the stage fright for a very long time. Being part of the group and then winning a competition of speaking at the national level, brought not only happiness but also the feeling of pride in me. She told me the competition was to be held in Delhi and I was then living there. So, we met and celebrated together with her victory.

Describe a crowded place that you have visited.

Which place is it?

When did you visit it?

Why did you visit it?

Chandni-Chowk Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in Dehradun

Sample Answer One

My city is a very important city with a high population and many famous hotspots such as markets and landmarks. The Chandni Chowk market area is located in the city of New Delhi. It is one of the most crowded places in the city and hosts a large number of people on a daily basis.

This place is mostly made up of shops and shopfronts with houses and apartments on the back sides or above the shops. The place remains crowded for the most part as visitors throng in the place every day to buy electronics or home care products. I visited Chandni chowk during the last autumn in the month of October. It was a part of my four-day visit to Delhi for a family vacation.

On the last day, I went to this market area to look for and buy a few things as gifts to my friends and to buy a few specific food items available in some very old and famous shops in the area. The market was very crowded that day. All sorts of people were hurrying about in order to sell or buy something. I went around in different shops with my cousins and bought whatever I needed. I had to bargain with the shopkeepers very quickly as there were a lot of customers waiting to buy stuff.

All in all, it was a great experience, even though it was very hectic and tiring. I got to meet so many new people and to buy many new things. It was also great to experience and relish new food items and tastes.

Sample Answer Two

A crowded place you visited.

You should say:

Where is this place?

When did you go there?

What did you do there?

And explain how you felt about visiting this place.

Having being born and raised in the world’s second most populous country, seeing crowded places is not uncommon for me. Today, I’m going to share my experience of visiting a densely packed place.

It happened two years ago when I went to Mumbai for a short trip. Some of my close friends live and work there. It was a long weekend. We just planned a get together and decided to meet on Saturday afternoon at a popular beach.

The morning was glorious; the sun was shining and there was not a cloud in sight. It was a perfect day to be out and about. Unfortunately other people seemed to have the same idea as us. Hence, it came as no surprise that the beach was brimming to the point of bursting. Wherever we looked, either there were people or animals. Families, performers, beggars and guides, add in a camel or two and you get the picture. The noise levels were deafening. The sounds of rowdy children, shrill shrieks of seagulls, and motorboats were all mixed together. The foul smell from a nearby fish market did not help matters much. It was utter chaos. I felt immensely overwhelmed.

We had planned a picnic but there was no place to even move around. There was not a speck of golden sand to be seen under all the blankets, footprints and hoof-prints. Leaving immediately was the only way to avoid being crushed. That’s what we were forced to do. Even though the plan to spend quality time with each other failed badly, coming out of that mess safely was a big relief.
