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

SAMPLE ANSWER –

The internet is an essential part of survival in the present-day world. It has been a lifesaver 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 on 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 calls 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 I thought of trying it, as I didn’t have 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 restarted, and I felt a sign of relief at that hour. Though we keep on criticising the internet and technology on a daily basis, during that moment I couldn’t be thankful enough to them.

Cue Card # A time when you didn’t share a truth with your best friend. Best IELTS Band7 Coaching in dehradun

SAMPLE ANSWER –

Trust is considered to be an important tool in one’s friendship, which takes time and diligence to rebuild if lost. Here, I’d like to talk about a time when I tried to conceal a secret from a friend, which had a bad effect on our friendship. The scenario happened quite a while ago when we were in university. It was during our results when I tried to keep my best friend’s poor grades confidential, as she was enjoying her cousin’s wedding at that time.

As far as I remember, most of my friends were worried about their performance in the exams, but my best friend had a different level of excitement since it was her relative’s wedding within two days. Though she was equally nervous about the results, she didn’t let her fear come between her happiness. When the result was declared, all of my friends cleared the exams with flying colours, but unfortunately, my best friend’s result was not up to expectations.

I decided not to inform her about the result on a call, as it might affect her joyful state of mind about the wedding ceremonies. But unluckily, she got this bitter news from one of our classmates. She was deeply affected by it, as those results were going to have a major impact on our placements.

Initially, this situation jeopardised our friendship, and people tried to create misunderstandings between us. But after a couple of days, she considered my point of view and tried to look at it from my position. We later apologised and promised to never hide the truth from each other, no matter how bitter it would be.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Questions – Perfect Holiday

March 19, 2026 IELTS Research

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. True it is in all senses. Work is definitely the most important part of our lives, but only work often makes our lives dull and mundane. This is the reason most people take holidays, sometimes to spice up there lives and more often to

What would your perfect holiday look like? You should say –

where would it be?

whom would you go with?

how would you spend it?

also, explain, why do you think it would be perfect?

SAMPLE ANSWER ONE

My perfect holiday would most likely be in a snow-decked winter
landscape. Somewhere cold, sunny and high up with a view to behold.

I would go with my sister; she too adores the fresh mountain air.
air. And I am sure my cousins would love to tag along; together we would be a
really rowdy bunch. We would go skiing, sledging and ice skating. I can just
Imagine their faces when they slip up on the ice, me laughing with them.

We would go to the Christmas Carnival and have delicious hot
chocolate while joking about how our feet are going to freeze off. Baking
cookies and watching some movies when it gets too cold out, all huddled up
together. Making blanket forts after long days of snowball fights and building
snowmen are some other things I imagine we
would do.

It would be perfect, because we would all be together, having
the time of our lives as a family. There is nothing more I could ask for.

SAMPLE ANSWER TWO

Holidays have been an important part of my life. Not only do I like giving it to others, but I also enjoy it for myself as well. They could be either group trips or solo trips. But my perfect holiday would be on an all-India tour all by myself. It has been my dream for a very long time to be able to travel across India and write down the stories of the country. Of meeting new people and getting to know their stories.

I would start off from my base location and move ahead towards the east. Travelling across all the east and moving towards the north, west and then south. It will be an all-out trip to the different cities, the major festivals, the major temples, and, more importantly, the common people of the place. I want to meet all those people and then interview them. Get to know their stories and write about them.

If I were able to do this holiday, it would be the best thing to happen to me. Not because it will be a big one, but because it would be for me a dream come true. Knowing my country and getting to know its past, present, and future is what makes this holiday perfect for me.

CUE CARD -DESCRIBE A HOUSE OR APARTMENT YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN

March 6, 2026 IELTS Research

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card) DESCRIBE A HOUSE OR APARTMENT YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN

You should say:

What is it like?
Where would it be?
Why would you like to live in this house/apartment?
How do you feel about this house/apartment?

Sample Answer

Home is where the heart is and having a own house is on the top of my bucket list. Ideally, I don’t fantasize about living in a house that is too spacious. Rather, I’d love to reside in an abode that allows me to have my peace of mind all day long.

Firstly, it will be a one-storied bungalow inspired by the design of the Victorian Era. I want my house to be on the slap bang of the city, surrounded by nature. The covered area should be 2000 sq. Ft and it would have 5 rooms with one master bedroom. Every room would have a balcony from where beautiful views of snow- covered mountains is visible. There should be enough empty space around so that I can have a perfect view of the mesmerizing surroundings.

Apart from this, I am really desiring that my house should be loaded with all sorts of mod cons. Including, a gym, a gigantic pool, a game Centre with a home theatre with recliners and a table tennis table to help me enjoy my time during my free time. At the top of it, I really desire a large L- shaped kitchen with a glass cabinet, dishwasher and a 12- seater dining table. Finally, in the open space there should be separate parking slots for the 4 wheelers.

I would love to reside in this apartment because it will be filled with all the comforts anyone could dream of. Besides, it would allow me to stay close to nature and far away from hustle and bustle of city.

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 house or a apartment you like to live in.”

Q1. Do most Indian People live in an apartment or a house?

Answer. I reckon most of the Indians Choose the house they reside in by considering the city or town they want to build their house in. For example, in big cities, people live in high rise buildings due to scarcity of land. Viz a viz in small cities or towns most of the people prefer living in detached houses rather than apartments.

Q2. Do young people in your country like to live with their parents or by themselves?

Answer. Mostly the younger generation in my country prefer to live with their parents as they provide constant support and guidance for their child. They do move out of their homes in situations where they have to pursue higher studies or if they have better career prospects outside in some other city or country.

Mesmarizing	Something that catches or holds your attention.	She had the most mesmerizing blue eyes.
