Describe something you shared with another person.

• What was it?
• When did you share it?
• Who did you share it with?
• Explain how you felt about it?

Sample Answer

We all have a lot of things that we share with others at a certain point in time. Sharing is a very good habit that shows emotion and care for others. It not only helps people but also creates a bond between individuals.

I remember one such incident wherein I shared my motorcycle during my graduation college days. I was in the second year of my college degree, and I had made a very good friend named Smith. He was my neighbor and was pursuing another degree from the same college. I had just purchased a new motorcycle to make my commuting easier as I lived a bit far from the college premises.

One evening when Smith and I were having dinner together, he told me about his issue of early morning classes. It was a problem as there was no public transport in our locality during that time of the morning. I then solved his problem by offering to share my motorcycle with him. He was very happy and thanked me a lot. It was almost for the next six months that we both shared my bike to go for our respective classes, and it was a great experience knowing that I was able to help a friend by sharing something of mine. I understand myself to be a caring person and tend to share my personal belongings with my near and dear ones from time to time.

Describe your favorite season in your country.

• Which is the season?
• What is the weather like during this season?
• How is this season different from other seasons?
• What activities do you usually do during the season?
• Why is it your favourite season?

Sample Answer

India is a highly diverse country with many geographical features, and corresponding climate conditions. We enjoy four main seasons here namely summer, autumn, winter, and spring. These have different intensities all over the country. I have lived in various parts of the country and experienced all the seasons in these places. I now live in the northern region and my city is nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas.

While the summers here are very short, winters can be very harsh and cold. Coming to my favorite season, it is the winter season. It lasts from November to February, and the weather is very soothing, pleasing, and dry, unlike the boiling heat of the summers. I love it due to various reasons. This season brings along with it many seasonal fruits and vegetables that I like to eat. Mostly, my choice of clothes includes long overcoats, trench coats, and woolens, which are worn during this season. There is a lot you can do to enjoy this time of the year. I love playing in the snow and taking long walks on cold winter evenings.

I love riding or driving out in the mountains to distant cold places during this season as well. The cold is very soothing and makes me feel comfortable, unlike the summers which make me sweat a lot. I like sitting outdoors with a bonfire and a cup of hot tea or coffee to read or write, which is my favorite activity, and one of the reasons why I look forward to this season of the year.

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card: Describe something you want to buy but can’t afford.

• What is it?
• How much does it cost?
• Why can’t you afford it?
• What is the other way you can acquire it?

Sample answer:

Every one of us has some dreams in our lives regarding materialistic things. We always keep on adding something or the other to our wish list. Sometimes we are limited by financial issues and have to wait to acquire them. I have always had different things that have been added to my wish list. One of those things is a solar panel setup for my home, which can power up the lights and heat the water supply.

It is a very good set up that is not only highly cost-effective but also environment-friendly. I went to a nearby shop to inquire about the details about the cost and the setup. I was told that it would cost me one hundred thousand Indian rupees to get the set up installed on the roof of my house.

Actually, I cannot afford this much amount right now as I have spent all my savings to buy a car two months ago. Due to this reason, I would have to wait for some time and save more money to buy the solar panel setup.

However, there is another way that I can choose to acquire it. I can purchase it on a minimal down payment and get a loan that I can pay off in monthly instalments later. But I would most preferably avoid this choice due to the fact that it would become a tiresome responsibility to set apart the instalment amount every month. Not to mention the extra amount that I would have to spend upon the loan interest. Hence, I have decided to wait for some time and purchase it at a later point.
