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.

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.

IELTS Cue Card # Describe a tradition in your country

Describe a tradition in your country
You should say:
– What it is
– Who takes part in it
– What activities there are
– And explain how you feel about it

Sample Answer:

India has a wide variety of cultures and traditions. There are unique traditions in India but today I would like to highlight ‘Kumbh Mela’. The Kumbh is conducted every twelve years, and people from different parts of the country attend it. It is unique in itself because it is considered as world’s largest congregation of pilgrims.
This festival attracts millions of people, the majority of which mainly consists of different Hindu sects like saints, hermits, tantriks religious organisations, and Hindu men and women from all walks of life. One of the most popular and unique crowd here is the Nagas, they are the men who refrain from wearing any clothes. Apart from that politicians and government authorities also attend it.
Miscellaneous activities take place here, People come here to perform sacred rituals and take holy bath in the Ganges in order to achieve salvation. There are many Yagyashalas where havans are performed regularly. Saints conduct Kathas or storytelling from several Indian mythologies like Ramayana, Mahabharata or Bhagwat Puran. Bhandara which is the free food service is also held for the people.
I feel Kumbh is one of the most special tradition of India which is popular all over the country. People look forward to Kumbh as one of the biggest events. The fact that it is one of the world’s largest peaceful gathering makes it noteworthy and I would like to be a part of it at least once in my lifetime.

However these days youngsters have also started celebrating western festivals like Christmas, Easter and Hallowe’en but this does not mean that the traditional festivals have lost their importance.
