IELTS CUE CARD #EVENT WHEN YOU WERE CONGRATULATED

Sample Answer:

It’s a common gesture of appreciation that one receives for doing something good and worthy. We get appreciation for the good things we do for others or for our great achievements or personal excellence. One similar occasion when I was congratulated was when my debate team won the district/county-level championship.
It was 2012, and I was in my 10^th grade. I was an influential member of my school debate team and had participated in a lot of different solo and team debate competitions. The yearly inter-school division/county-level championship was considered to be the most amazing and prestigious tournament, and in those days the finals were broadcast on local TV channels as well as on the radio and on the internet.
Our school had a very bad past history, as it was not able to win the championship before 2012. They had their last victory in the 90s, and everyone was waiting to hear the winning bells again. Though some of the debate teams participated till the semi-finals of the championship, they never made it to the finale.
That year I was heading the debate team, and to everyone’s great astonishment, we won the finals. Most of the people of our city watched the finals on TV and were super excited, happy and proud to see me on air, and it was an added attraction that we won.
The school arranged an assembly specifically to congratulate us for our achievement, and I found more than five hundred students, their guardians and local people who were eagerly waiting for us and were present there to join us in this victory. I was so proud of the whole team and excited about the occasion, and when all those people started congratulating me, I felt like I was flying above the sky, and my happiness knew no leaps and bounds.
Later I received many congratulations and appreciations as I grew up in my life, but none of them mattered as much as that one occasion did. We walked through the gushing crowd towards the stage of the auditorium, and people stood up, greeted us and clapped their hands. A lot of teachers, local political leaders, upper-level government employees and renowned personalities were also present there. The ceremony went on for almost 3 hours, and we got many gifts and bouquets as well. I’ll always remember that moment.

Follow-Up Questions:

Q1. What kind of people are successful in your country?
Ans: In India, generally movie stars, politicians and business tycoons are the most popular and successful people. Influential people who make social and environmental changes are also considered successful.

Q2. Is the definition of success the same today as it was in the past?
Ans: Success has different meanings to different people. People in the past considered success to be more about respect and dignity and paid more focus on the idea of getting known. The idea of popularity still remains the same, but today people evaluate success in terms of money and material possessions acquired.

Q3. Why are some celebrities and movie stars more successful than others?
Ans: Some celebrities are famous because the generation today is biased, and they prefer knowing or watching only those certain celebrities who are more popular, and they don’t really prefer quality. They just go with the brand name, and they prefer to stick with the passive crowd and go along with the fan following.

first-job Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in dehradun

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.
