IELTS Cue card – about collects things

Talk about something you or someone you know collects.

what you or this person collects

how the collection is stored

how quickly the collection is growing

What kind of person would enjoy collecting that thing, and why?

Sample Answer

Collecting items is considered to be a hobby by many and it takes a lot of knowledge and interests to collect something worthy. But, with time, it is becoming a diminishing hobby of sorts nowadays however, there are still many people who have kept this ritual alive. One such person that I know of is Mr Khan. He is a next door neighbour of mine and has worked with the Indian Navy. His voyages and expeditions have landed him in various remote corners of the globe. That’s how he developed this hobby of collecting coins.

He has special custom made boxes where he stores his collection. They are made of premium wood and have partitions inside it in order to store each coin individually. Along with these boxes he has a book in which he has gathered as much information about these coins as possible. The notes and his collection are very informative and they speak volumes about themselves. The most striking feature about his collections is that they are arranged according to the countries in an alphabetic order. So to procure information about any coin from any country is very easy.

It has slowed down over the course of past few years. It’s mostly due to the fact that he has retired now and wants to take things easy. Due to the health issues he is not able to travel that frequently however, he still has loads of tourists flocking his doors as his collection is quite famous and every now and then he will lay his hands on something worthy through them.

One needs a vast knowledge of history for collecting coins. Currencies have played vital roles in our knowledge of understanding past. It is a hobby that requires a lot of patience and at the same time it can be very rewarding too. Certain numismatist have amassed millions through their collections. They all have one thing in common which is their love for history.

Speaking Cue Card: Describe a teacher from your past that you remember.

January 29, 2021 IELTS Research

Describe a teacher from your past that you remember.

You should say:

What class the teacher taught you and how old you were

What the teacher’s special qualities and characteristics were

Why you remember this teacher.

Sample Answer:

A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instil a love of learning. Throughout our lives we meet several educationists and teachers and remember a few for the wonderful qualities that they possess. One such teacher that I can recall is Miss Shreeparna Basu. She taught English literature in my 10^th grade. I was almost 16 then.

She was very well versed in various classical literature. She studied at the abode of art, Shantiniketan. She shared an immense love for poetry similar to mine. It was so fascinating to watch her recite all the melodies of Wordsworth and Shakespeare by heart. As a young reader myself, she proved to be the biggest inspiration in my post teenage years. She effortlessly explained the most scary looking paragraphs as if it was some pop song. She is a very patient and honest lady. I used to make her recite certain sonnets and verses for me after the school hours to which she’d always happily agree. She is also an artist. She is an enchanting painter.

She has helped boost my reading habit. She serves a major role in the developing of my vocabulary. She has also helped me improve my communication skills. She took the mind of a small child and influenced it with Elliot and daffodils. She always taught us to be good human beings. She taught us morals and ethics which as a young individual everyone must cultivate. I still remember her for her thoughtful suggestions and honest reviews.

Speaking Cue Card: Describe a time when you had to go to the doctor’s/hospital

January 27, 2021 IELTS Research

Describe a time when you had to go to the doctor’s/hospital

You should say:

What was wrong with you

How you felt at that time

What happened at the doctor’s/hospital

And explain what treatment you were given to help you get better.

Sample Answer:

Hospital is that one place where no one would like to visit. I personally hate going to the doctor’s. But I had to visit one recently. Due to frequent travelling to varied altitudes and atmosphere, I got home having terrible cold and viral infection. It was accompanied by heavy head, continuous sneezing and a runny nose which left me in moderate discomfort.

I felt too sick and in pain. Due to the ever-growing headache I couldn’t concentrate on any thing and found it impossible to do even the smallest everyday task. My head felt like it weighed a ton and I could barely keep my eyes open due to the developing stress. After no more resistance, I decided that I need to visit the doctor’s.

The doctor checked me and asked me how I was feeling. He checked my pulse and my body temperature. He asked me to open my mouth, take my tongue out and checked it subsequently for any possible infections and if there are any possible symptoms of typhoid. He further checked my blood pressure and concluded that I have developed intense allergy infections probably due to the temperature changes and dust inhaled during the travels. He prescribed me some medicines and a cough syrup to be taken at regular interval for 3 days. He advised me to avoid any cold food items and beverages. He also suggested that I drink turmeric milk and ginger lemon honey tea for instant healing. He asked me to take plenty of rest and avoid going out in the dirt. The suggestions were useful and my health improved significantly in a couple of days.

IELTS Cue Card # Describe a television program that you watch.

January 17, 2021 IELTS Research

IELTS Cue Card about a television program.

Describe a television program that you watch.
You should say:

which kind of television programme that is

what usually happens in the television programme

why you enjoy watching the television programme

and explain why you would recommend the television programme to other people.

Sample Answer:

I would like to talk about HOUSE MD. It is an American television medical drama. The series’ main character is Dr Gregory House played by Hugh Laurie, an unconventional, misanthropic medical genius who, despite his dependence on pain medication, leads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH) in New Jersey.
House often clashes with his fellow physicians, including his own diagnostic team, because many of his hypotheses about patients’ illnesses are based on subtle or controversial insights. His flouting of hospital rules and procedures frequently leads him into conflict with his boss, hospital administrator and Dean of Medicine Dr Lisa Cuddy played by Lisa Edelstein. House’s only true friend is Dr James Wilson played by Robert Sean Leonard, head of the Department of Oncology.
I really like watching House, for Gregory and his unconventional medical theories and practices (like giving placebo to patients) and on the other characters’ reactions to them, rather than on the details of the treatments. He frequently proclaims during the team’s deliberations, “The patient is lying”, or “Everybody lies”; such an assumption guides House’s decisions and diagnoses. Because many of his hypotheses are based on epiphanies or controversial insights, he often has trouble obtaining permission for medical procedures he considers necessary from his superior.
Total of eight seasons, House was among the top 10 series in the United States from its second through fourth seasons. Distributed to 66 countries, House was the most-watched television program in the world in 2008. I would recommend it to other people for, this series offers insight into the medical world and various types of diseases which most of us have never heard of. And how by running differential diagnosis and listing etiologies they finally narrow down to the cause, find the correct diagnosis and save the patient. (301 words)
