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:

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.

BORED IELTS CUE CARD IELTS DEHRADUN

Sample Answer:1 (Written By Bhumika)

In today’s world, people are so busy that they hardly get time to get bored, but there was a time when I felt really bored and had nothing to do. It was during the summer of 2020, when there was lockdown all over the world and everyone was quarantined in their houses. This time was not only boring and difficult for me but for everyone around the world. We had no idea what we were supposed to do, everyone was on house arrest.
I was at my home with my parents and as I have no siblings, this period seemed more colourless. Initially, I was happy that I’ve got a leave from college and I relaxed for days but slowly this was getting boring. I had to go through the same monotonous schedule each day and there was nothing new. We could not move out, we could not invite people at home. All I was doing was getting up, eating, sometimes watching TV and sleeping again. Life seemed insipid.
Finally I decided that I needed to overcome this boredom and do something productive, hence I started watching YouTube tutorials where I learnt how to cook. I used to cook one-time meal for everyone daily and I always tried my hands on some new dish. I brought a massive change in my schedule. I started learning glass painting, I learnt how to use oil paints and made a lot of paintings. Apart from that I also did online educational courses to enhance my skills. Now I believe that each one of us has the potential to be productive, it is just the right motivation and self-determination that we need within ourselves.

Follow up questions:

Q. What can people do when they feel bored?
There are a lot of things that people can do when they are bored. They can draw, they can cook their favourite dishes, they can watch a good movie, listen to some nice music or even exercise. People should always try to do something new and different from their usual schedule.

Q. Do people get bored about daily routines?
I believe Yes, it is the main reason for boredom. If we follow a similar routine daily, we tend to get bored. Humans always need a change in their lifestyle which helps them to refresh and be even more productive than before. That is the reason why we go for vacations and get leaves at weekends, as it helps to keep the mind calm and lightens up our mood.

Sample Answer:2

Today I am going to recount a day in which I was quite bored. In fact, this happened last week.

I was lounging around on my bed, not knowing what to do as I had just finished reading the entire Percy Jackson series in the past 3 days, it had kept me nicely occupied. Now, however, I did not have the energy to start a new book series or movie. I did not have any chores left either; my bed was made, the clothes were washed, the bookshelf dusted, and the dishes were done. Indeed, I was at liberty to do anything; Anything except leave the house that is. It funny, how when going outside was legal, all I wanted to do was stay indoors, and now, after hardly two weeks of staying indoors, all I could think of is going outside. I was waiting desperately for corona-virus lock-down end date.

Later on, I even tried to chase away this feeling of disinterest by watching YouTube, figuring that was the best way to procrastinate and waste away my time. As it turns out, the awareness of not actually procrastinating lured the thrill of even YouTube comedy away, it too, became dull. Now I was truly stumped. What was I to do?

Just then my mother walked into the room. I found just what I wanted to do. I would take up my favourite childhood pastime, annoying my darling mum. And thus, I began asking my mum random questions, nonsense questions, questions even god himself would ponder over. She humoured me and gave equally illogical answers. This was our favourite game, invented a long time ago, when I was learning to explore the world. Our game soon evolved into a serious conversation, speculation and debate. This time, we concluded that the purpose of human life was to create, for creation is fun, stagnation is frustration. Like how the creation of new ideas, novel projects give thrills; and how tedious, repetitive tasks, are akin to torture.

Indeed, I found this revelation to be a very fitting note to end upon, in the face of the boredom I had in the day. I had been bored, because I was doing nothing new, it was all mundane. (360 Words)

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.

Follow Up Questions:

Apart from communication, it has made shopping, entertainment and payment easier. Their cheaper availability has made it more affordable for almost everyone.

Answer: Yes, I think men are more into technology than women. 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.
