SAMPLE ANSWER

Over a period of time, I have realized that if you love doing something it always brings new opportunities and excitement in life. Today, I am going to talk about a thrilling day I got to spent because of my job. It was a few years back and I was working for a writing company back then. My job was to create new blogs for their website and it was mostly working from home. However, I used to often go to the office to meet the staff and my senior for inputs on the website.

One day, my senior asked me to write a script for the product the company will be releasing in the upcoming quarter. It sounded so exciting to me that once I had written the script I thought the work was done. Until one day I was told that I will be the assistant director for the shoot. The day of the shoot came on a fly. On the day of the shoot, I got to meet the best photographer of our town and then a really good actress. The entire day when by in cuts, retakes and it was really exciting.

The mere fact that I was on the sets of a shoot gave me goosebumps. The takes and retakes made feel as if I am a director. I remember coming back home late and my mother scolding me, but it was the best day I had lived in some while and nothing else mattered.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Questions # Family Member

Most of us live in a nuclear family but no matter what we all have our own extended families. There are some who have a smaller extended family but for many there are so many family members we meet during the summer holidays. But, there are only few we get together well with. The ones with whom we share our secrets and tell them about our fights. This time we are looking at a cue card that talks about the member of the family that you go along well with.

Describe a family member that you go on well with.
You should say :

  • who it is?
  • what relationship you have with that person
  • what that person is like
  • what you do together

also explain, why you get on so well.

NOTES
  • mayank
  • my brother
  • usually talk or travel.
  • understand each other well and give each other the required time.
SAMPLE ANSWER

I have many paternal and maternal cousins but I think the one person in my family that I really get along well is my brother. We have had our share of fights and ignorance in our growing years but I think over the period of time we have grown closer. His name is Mayank and is presently doing his Bachelors from a State owned university.

Mayank is a carefree yet careful child as I know him. The best part about him is that he knows which matters of life should be taken seriously and which ones should be considered in a lighter mood. This makes it so easy for us to interact because I know how he will take jokes. However, owing to his education and then my job we don’t meet very often but we do talk on phone and whenever we meet we mostly go out on rides to places we have never been.

The best part about our relationship is that we never need to hide anything from each other. Be it any of the darkest secrets or the stupidest habits that we form, we have always told each other about it and helped each other through out it. I think the only reason that we do get along with each other is because we do know each other. We know our problems and even if we don’t we are ready to go an extra mile to help each other.

WORD MEANING

paternal

of or appropriate to a father.

maternal

relating to a mother, especially during pregnancy or shortly after childbirth.

ignorance

 lack of knowledge or information.

stupidest

having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense.

go an extra mile

to do more than what is needed.
