IELTS CUE CARD – Describe an indoor game that you liked to play when you were a child

Describe an indoor game that you liked to play when you were a child

What is it?

With whom did you play it?

How often you played it?

How did you feel about it?

SAMPLE ANSWER

Like other children I’ve played several games, both indoor and outdoor, and in fact, try to play whenever I get time.

Among those games, I enjoyed playing snakes and ladders more than others. It’s an indoor board game based on numbers where 2 to 4 players can play at a time. Since this game required placing the foldable board on a surface and using dice and tokens, it was convenient to play snakes and ladders almost anywhere.

I usually played it with my friends on weekends and with my cousins during my school vacation. Sometimes I played it with my father also. In f

act I would admit my father taught me to play this game. He wanted to teach me how to count and playing this game made learning exciting.

What I liked most about this game was the excitement of climbing the ladders on board as well the rolling of the dice. When the opponent players landed on a snake and had to come sliding down gave me utmost joy! When I lost the game I used to end up crying.

I still remember, my father used to lose the game deliberately so that I could win. I used to get jubilant on winning from him.

Even today, I like to play this game as it brings back fond memories of my childhood. It’s a great way to create a bonding with our loved ones and spend quality time with them.

IELTS Cue Card # Talk about a recent experience when the internet solved your problem? Best IELTS Band 7 Coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Internet is an essential part for survival in the present day world. It has been a life-saver for me numerous times but here I can recall a time when the internet helped me handle a bad situation. I have the habit of keeping all the important information in my phone instead of my laptop. Last week, when I was busy studying for my exam, all of a sudden my phone’s screen froze due to which I wasn’t able to make any call or check my notes.

I panicked as it was quite late at night and I couldn’t head to the market to get some professional help. My phone included all important recorded lectures and notes. I lost hope and had pessimistic thoughts in my mind regarding my exam. I started searching for a temporary solution to fix my IPhone. There were some solutions available on sites and I followed the steps in order to try my luck.

I followed the instructions given and connected my phone to the computer. It asked for a software update and thought of trying it as I didn’t had any other option since all my important information including my admit card was in my phone. It nearly took two hours to complete the update and reboot my IPhone.

Luckily, the phone restated and I felt a sign of relief at that hour. Though we keep on criticizing the internet and technology on daily basis but during that moment I couldn’t help being thankful to it enough.

IELTS CUE CARD # BUILDING WITH ARCHITECTURAL INTEREST

Sample Answer :

The Leaning Tower of Pisa also popularly known as Tower of Pisa is an interesting and amazing structure situated in the Pisa city of Italy. It is the third oldest structure in Pisa’s Cathedral Square and very famous for its unintended tilt to one side. The site is flocked by tourists all over the world and is considered a major attraction.

The height of the tower is around 183 feet. The width of the tower is higher in the lower part. The tower has 296 steps and offers a great architectural and artistic value to the world. The tilt of this tower was never planned. It occurred unintentionally. During the construction phase, the tilt was created due to the inadequate foundation on the soft ground. Later this tilt increased until the structure was stabilised. Around 200 years were taken to build this greatest structure.

There are some debates about the real architect of this world famous structure and it has been credited to Guglielmo and Bonanno Pisano who are considered to be the architects of this structure. But recent studies imply this credit to Diotisalvi as the original architect. This is still a never ending debate.

This structure has many historic significance and was one of the seven medieval wonder of the world. The structure was built initially by the people of Pisa to show the value and importance of the Pisa city and justify their place in the world. The plan included a cathedral, a baptistery, a bell tower and a cemetery. The construction began at around 1173 and completed in the middle of 1300.

This famous tower is not known only for the great beauty of its Romanesque architecture but also for its historical significance. It is of great cultural and social importance to its people. The famous astronomer Galileo Galilei is said to have dropped a cannon ball and a musket ball bot hat a time from the Tower of Pisa to prove that weight does not affect the dropping speed of an object. This place has scientific importance too.

This structure was listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 and had been very famous as one of the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World. I will surely like to visit it some day.

Q2. How has architecture developed over the years ?

IELTS CUE CARD # Describe a foreign country you have never been to.

Sample Answer :

Travelling has been a favourite hobby for years. I love the idea of visiting new place sand experiencing new cultures and learning new things. The country that I have always wanted to go but have not visited yet is Italy. I’ve been dreaming of going to Italy since my childhood days. I’ll definitely visit the country as soon as I’m done with my college.

Italy is in Southern Europe. Rome, the capital of Italy is magnificently beautiful and also the leading political and religious centre of the western civilisation. It is also the primary centre of the both Roman Empire and the Christianity. I love history. I wish to visit the museums, arts, streets, cultural and other attractions and learn the origins and secrets about the place. Also, I want to go there to visit the Vatican City.

I have read lot of articles and heard some amazing stories about the culture and and history about the country and getting to see them with my own eyes them would be a great treat. There are plenty of things to start with: arts and exhibitions, museums, Colosseum, Leaning Tower of Pissa, Roman Forum, Florence Cathedral, St. Peter’s Basilica, Milan Cathedral, Sistine Chapel, Piazza SanMarco, Circus Maximus. I plan on visiting all of them on my visit.

Italy was celebrated as one of the most advanced territories once upon a time and has various historical sites to explore. I’ve researched about these places briefly and have inquired many friends who have visited the place. The desire to visit has inclined. I’m pretty positive about visiting this country in next year.
