Sample Answer

I’ve been working for a long time. I started my career ten years ago, in the year 2008. I was pursuing my post-graduation diploma in travel and tourism. Many companies used to visit our institute to hire freshers. I had been lucky enough to get my first job opportunity during campus placement. I got selected by one of the reputed companies in the travel industry, Abercrombie and Kent Destination Management. They run many offices across the globe, and their head office is in New York. Anyone from the travel industry, somewhere deep in their heart, keeps a feeling to work with this reputed organisation. It is a USA-based inbound travel company that provides all travel facilities to its clients. I got an opportunity to work with them in their Delhi office, located near Delhi Haat.

Although I was working there as a trainee, my work always got recognised and appreciated by higher authorities. I was responsible for all the travel arrangements for their foreign delegates who used to come to attend seminars and conferences from different parts of the world. This job gave me a chance to meet people from different cultural backgrounds. That not only boosted my confidence in public speaking but also got me acquainted with many different languages.

No other job could have given me such an exposure at the beginning of my career. It was the milestone of my career that helped me to choose the right path. I thoroughly enjoyed my work.

CUE CARD – DESCRIBE A JOB YOU WOULD NOT LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

DESCRIBE A JOB YOU WOULD NOT LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE

You should say:

What is the job?
How you heard about it?
Why you don’t want to do it?
How you feel about the job?

Sample Answer

There are extremely few jobs available due to increased competition and growing employment crisis. No task is simple to complete; all tasks demand arduous work.

While some individuals have a dream job, others may not prioritize that. One such job role that I would never do is customer executive. But I find it too challenging. It appears simple, but I don’t think so. These experts handle a variety of tasks, such as taking phone calls, responding to inquiries from clients, and helping with problems that clients may be having. They seem to be under a lot of pressure to respond quickly, have nice conversations, show empathy, and figure out the right answers when they need them. Most importantly, most employers seek out workers who can work nights because of the nature of the jobs.

Another gap is that working at night becomes risky, especially for girls. The day is more exhausting when headphones are worn. A cousin of mine works as a customer service representative. One of my cousins works up to 10 or 11 hours a day as a customer service executive. Sundays are not his off days. They actually don’t get many holidays in a given year. He reveals that they have daily goals to meet and that their pay will be withheld if they don’t. One cannot ultimately look up to this profession for future growth because only a small number of employees in this sector get promotions. I would prefer working as a web developer.

Speaking -Part 3 (Follow up questions)

Here are some examples of follow up questions that examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to cue card “Describe a job you would not like to do in the future

Q1. What kind of jobs do young people prefer?

Answer. The employment market in India is changing quickly, and there are a number of new career possibilities that are being developed to meet the interests and skill needs of young professionals. Young Indians can pursue a number of profitable and exciting professional pathways, ranging from cybersecurity and renewable energy to digital marketing and data analytics

Q2. Some people will lose their jobs because of technology, how to deal with it?

Answer. Since we are the ones creating the technology, I don’t think we can blame it. If someone feels that technology has replaced them in their line of work, they should enhance their skill set and investigate alternative career platforms.

Q3. Will you settle down in another country?

Answer. Yes, I will, given that I land a decent job in a developed nation. I would seize the chance with both hands.

	Meaning	Sentence
Arduous	Difficult and tiring	The task was more arduous than we imagined.
Crisis	Time of intense difficulty or danger	Employment crisis increased during lockdown.

And describe the photograph in detail.

IELTS Speaking latest cue card 2020. Describe a picture or a photograph in your home /room that you likeWhat is it about?

Sample Answer

Photographs capture moments in time clearer than our memories are capable of. Humans have used photographs in abundance in the past decade to try and capture life’s most important and most trivial moments. This has led to a fad of over-documentation, often at the cost of missing reality to be able to capture it virtually.

Today I will talk about a very special photograph of me when I was around the age of 5. In the image, I am seen sitting on ‘Santa Claus’s’ lap for a special Christmas event in a fully decked-out mall. Behind it, one can make out a giant Christmas tree adorned with fairy lights and baubles and giant piles of decorative presents underneath.

My likeness can be seen wrapped up in a warm shawl and my very favourite red cap, rosy cheeks and the biggest grin as I have just whispered to ‘Santa’ my wish. ‘Santa’ had on a heavy blush, a nose red enough to make even Rudolf blush, and the classic half-foot-long white misty beard cum moustache.

The event was held every year on the days leading up to Christmas. In most major malls, parents would take their children to see a friendly volunteer as ‘Santa’, who would listen to all the kids’ dreams, laugh a big belly laugh and give his blessings. Some days book readings were also conducted.

Back when the photo was taken, our family had just moved there and was unfamiliar with this custom, for it was our first Christmas in a Christian country. My parents tell me the photo might never have taken place had they not delayed their last-minute gift shopping. But I am glad the events played out the way they did; else, today I would not have this heartwarming image sitting framed in a cheesy glitter and mistletoe frame on our mantelpiece. It is a reminder to always smile and keep going; that is one image which will never become a waste of space.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Some photographs are for decoration while some capture the best moments of our lives and keep our memories of those cherished moments alive. A few months ago, I was going through my collection of photo albums when a family photo caught my attention. It is one of my favourite photographs where I am standing with my parents in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It was taken several years ago when I visited Paris with my parents as a child. I got it framed recently, and it is placed on the wall above the study table in my bedroom.

Whenever I look at the picture, it reminds me of the good times I had with my parents, especially during that particular vacation abroad. I remember vividly; it was my birthday, and this trip to see the Eiffel Tower was a gift from my parents. I can clearly recall how my parents had a small celebration near the water fountains and rows of flowers, where this picture was taken. It was one of the best birthday celebrations I ever had as a child.

My parents have grown old now, and when I see this photo, it brings back fond memories of my childhood. I don’t see them often now, as I have moved to another city, and whenever I miss them, I have a look at the photograph. It doesn’t let me feel lonely, and I feel them around me. Seeing my parents extremely young and lively in it brings a gentle smile on my face!

STRONG WORDS

WORDS	MEANING
Vivid	very clear and detailed, e.g. Some people have a vivid imagination.
Fond	loving and affectionate, e.g. I am fond of eating out on a weekend.
