• Who this person is

Sample Answer

Since my childhood I have been into Indian classical music, it fills me up with joy and pleasure. Undoubtedly my favourite celebrity is a great musician. The name of this person is A.R. Rahman. He is a film composer, producer, singer and songwriter who works predominantly in Tamil and Hindi films.

Some of my favourite songs by him are kun faya kun, tum ho, phir se ud chala. I like listening to his interviews on the internet, wherein he tells about the technicalities of classical singing in a very easy and practical manner.
The magic of his composition is what makes me his admirer. And apart from that he is also a great human being. Once I got a chance to meet him at Chennai airport and I was impressed by his generosity.

He has played a major role in introducing our beautiful music culture to the rest of the world. He has been awarded with Padma Bhushan, Academy Award for best music and Grammy awards for the 2008 film Slumdog millionaire.

I like him for his modest nature and his remarkable work in Indian Cinema. He has multiple times represented India on a global level and I think we need more musicians like him to make our cultural music popular in the globe and I am sure a lot of musicians see him as a role model.

IELTS Cue Card # Describe an occasion when you ate a kind of food for the first time

Describe an occasion when you ate a kind of food for the first time
You should say:
– When you had it
– Where you ate it
– What it was
and explain how you felt about it

Sample Answer:

I am someone who likes to experiment with food that I eat. Although I love trying different cuisines but at the same time I try to keep it healthy.
A couple of weeks back during my home quarantine period i saw a TV commercial about the launch of a pizza that was somewhat like a burger, they named it “Bizza”. The commercial was very well presented and that I started craving for it. As I was not supposed to step out of my home due the pandemic, I opted for a home delivery. I ordered it with Coke and Fries, as they were giving a special discount on this combo pack. After ordering it, even waiting for half an hour seemed so difficult, moreover due to precautionary measures the delivery boy took even more time to deliver. But finally I got my order after a long wait of 45 minutes. As soon as I received it, I sanitized the outer packaging. The aroma that came from the parcel excited me even more. I opened the packet, it was a burger pizza by domino’s which had oven-baked buns with loads of cheese and pizza sauces. It felt so much fresh and unique to try out, I had never tasted anything similar to it. It brought mere joy to my face after savouring it. I felt amazing when I ate it and I’m glad that I ordered it. I was so much fascinated by the taste that I ordered it again the next day. Now it’s one of my favourite dish. After having it, I developed a liking for Italian cuisine.

Follow Up Questions:

Q1. What’s the difference between Indian food and western food?
Answer: When we talk about indian food it is mostly vegetarian in nature whereas western food has meat as the main part of the meal.

Q2. Is it expensive to eat out in your country?
Answer: Food ranges from five rupees for a vada pav to a thousand rupees for shahi paneer in a good restaurant, so it is totally subjective what people want to eat.

Q3. What kinds of foreign foods are popular in your country?
Answer: Many western breads and cheese have become quite famous, pastries and cakes are favourite desserts for people in India. Many types of non-veg dishes have also gained popularity in my country.

Q4. Are you concerned about your daily calorie intake when choosing something to eat?
Answer: I do not keep track of the calories I consume very precisely but yes I keep track of the quantity of food I consume. I think that works out well for me and I would say it is something that varies from person to person.

IELTS Cue Card # Describe an expensive activity that you enjoy doing occasionally

Describe an expensive activity that you enjoy doing occasionally
You should say:
– What it is
– Who do you do it with
– Why is it expensive
And explain how you feel about it

Sample Answer:

It would not be wrong to say that it’s the adventure, which attracts us towards the activity and not the price. Our financial condition may or may not allow us to savor it, but deep down we all want to cherish it.
I would like to mention about one such activity which I love doing erractically and that activity is shooting. Actually, we have an Olympic size shooting range in our city wherein all types of shooting facilities are available like 50m, 25m, 10m rifle and pistol shooting, trap and skeet for shotgun.
I developed love for this sport from my dad. Seeing my dad shooting during my childhood days made me want to do it. Now that I’m a grown up and eligible to play this sport old, it’s a perfect weekend activity for me. I go for shooting with my dad, both of us love to spend time together at the shooting academy. We both love the bullwhip like crack sound made by the bullet piercing the air and the competitive spirit shown by others in the range .
I would say that it is quite an expensive sport to play because of it’s high priced tools and equipments. One gets limited rounds to fire in the range and once exhaunsted the refill is quite hefty. In fact, it is one of the most expensive sports here in my town.
Shooting is the perfect activity to learn to stay calm and steady. It helps to keep your mind focused.

Describe a program or app in your computer or phone

 

• What the app/program is
• When, where you found it
• How you use it
• And explain how do you feel about it

Sample Answer:

Nowadays phones and computers have become an integral part of our living. We have at least one type of gadget with us all the time be it a smart-phone, smart-watch, a tablet or a laptop.
Over the past few decades, the technology industry has augmented and so has the IT industry. Result of which is that millions of applications are now available in the market.
One such application which I would like to talk about is “Microsoft teams”, which I am sure has proven to be helpful for most of us for our Work from home regimes during the Covid pandemic.
I was first introduced to this video conferencing application by my seniors. This function then became my primary application to do all the project meetings with my colleagues and managing heads.
It is very easy to use and the user-Interface is really appealing, moreover, it offers a huge amount of file storage. As it’s name suggests it has a very sublime feature of forming teams wherein I created different teams for different projects I was working on. One of the best things about this program is that it is absolutely free which makes it more popular among people.
I feel relieved to use this program as it has made our life easier specially during this pandemic, otherwise important project meetings would not have been possible without it. I’m extremely grateful to the creators of this application, as it was very thoughtful of them to provide such an invention for free.

Men always keep themselves updated with new tech gadgets that come into the market have it’s each and every detail, that is why men are often considered as Tech Lovers. Women on the other hand are not as fascinated by technological devices.
