Sample Answer

To err is human. Today, I’m going to talk about a mistake I made when I was in 6^th class.

One day my sister was quite unwell. She was suffering from fever. There was only one doctor in my village and there were no mobile phones at that time. The only way to call the doctor was to send someone to fetch him. Unfortunately, my father had gone somewhere. My mother asked me to go to the doctor. Since it was quite cold and dark outside, I told her that I would fetch the doctor tomorrow.

In the night my sister’s condition deteriorated, her fever was touching the mark of 104-105 degree Fahrenheit. She started murmuring. That was the most difficult time for me and my mummy. I was cursing myself. If I had gone to the doctor on time, my sister would not have been in this situation.

I made this mistake without realizing that I was making a mistake. I was a child and I had no idea about how high fever can be life threatening for someone.

This incident affected me a lot. With God’s grace and my mother’s efforts, my sister survived. But, her complete recovery took a long time. Now, I am much more careful about health and I never ignore any kind of health problems.

IELTS Cue Card 2024: TALK ABOUT A PERSON WHO WEARS UNUSUAL CLOTHES

July 23, 2024 IELTS Research

Talk about a person who wears unusual clothes

You should say:

Who he/she is

What kind of clothes he/she wears

What do you feel about his/her clothing choice

Sample Answer

Fashion and clothing has always been an important part of the society. We have different dress codes for different occasions. It brings out people differently. Today I’m going to talk about one of my friend who dresses in an unusual manner. Her name is Mansi and she is a fashion blogger. She started fashion blogging with one of the most offbeat dressing sense. Her peculiar dressing sense has actually made her one of the most popular fashion model of the town.

She wears saree with jeans and long boots. Sometimes she wears a scarf as a top. She usually wears different types of hats and caps with Indian outfits which gives her a different look. She has never failed to surprise me with her eccentric appearance. Once I saw her wearing a dress made out of newspaper, she wore it for her shoot. Moreover, I have never seen her repeating her outfits. She can literally prepare an outfit from whatever is available, be it newspapers, pieces of old clothes, pillow covers, bedsheets and even towels. She has also started a small business of fashion clothing and named it “Cranky Couture”. Her fashion store is gaining popularity among townspeople.

I believe her clothing choice is quite strange yet impressive. In a short span of two years, she has gained a lot of fan following in social media due to her unique dressing style. Going offbeat always makes an individual remarkable. I’ve have never seen someone with such unusual clothing before. Her outfits are sure to turn heads. Whenever I go out with her, people look at her with eyes wide open which actually makes me proud of her and the fact how she is normalising such kind of fashion.

Follow up questions:

Q1. Do you like shopping for new clothes?
Answer: Yes Of course! I love shopping for new clothes. Buying clothes makes me happy and it is the only kind of shopping that I enjoy. I often go for shopping when I do some remarkable work and reward myself with new clothes.

Q2. About how much money do you spend on clothes a year?
Answer: I don’t remember the exact amount, but I think I usually spend around 10,000 to 15,000 Indian Rupees in a year on clothes and I believe that is the minimum amount that an Indian girl spends on her clothing.

Q3. Do people dress the same when they are depressed as they do when they are very happy?
Answer: I feel people dress up differently when they are in different moods. Such as when people are happy they wear bright and colourful clothes, and they actually try to look better than usual. For instance people are most happy when it’s their birthday or some family function, so they try to look best. On the other hand, when people are depressed, they don’t make many efforts to look good.

Q4. What do you think about men who wear earrings?
Answer: I think it is completely their personal choice to wear earrings. Fashion is all about comfort and if men are comfortable with that, we should not judge them. Fashion has no gender. Wearing earrings is their way of expressing their sense of fashion.

Describe an exciting activity that you experienced with someone else

May 24, 2024 IELTS Research

IELTS Cue Card,

Describe an exciting activity that you experienced with someone else

You should say:

What the activity was

Who you were with

When and where it happened

Sample Answer

I am fond of adventure, and I believe it ignites the hidden adventurist in me. I had thalassophobia since childhood until I tried rafting at Rishikesh. Whenever I visit Rishikesh in the summer, I make sure to try rafting. It is a thrilling water sport that intrigues many people these days. Today, I will be sharing my first rafting experience, which I had with my best friend. My best friend is a native of Rishikesh; he has been asking me to give rafting a try for a long time, but I couldn’t go. In 2021, on the occasion of his birthday, we decided to give it a final short. We straightaway went to the person who conducts this activity. After signing the contract, the instructor guided us about the safety measures we needed to follow. To be honest, I was frightened to see the Maa Ganga River. She looked calm from outside but was extremely fugitive inside. Before starting the ride, I greeted Maa Ganga, as she is the most worshipped goddess in our culture, who nurtures this planet and is said to remove everyone’s sin. When the ride started, I was very nervous, but as it went on, I gained confidence and got extremely excited. It was indeed a thrilling experience to face the real power of water. It feels absolutely magnificent to be swimming in the middle of Ganga Ji. Since then, I have tried this activity more than five times; it was a surreal experience I have had in my life.

Word	Meaning	Sentence
Intrigues	Fascinating	The story really intrigued me.
magnificent	Truly beautiful, breathtaking	She looked extremely magnificent at the party.

Sample Answer

^{Level IELTS Band9} There are numerous national and international companies in my country. Today, I’m going to talk about an organization I would like to be a part of. The name of the organization is the Indian Space Research Organization, commonly known as the ISRO. It is the space agency of the government of India headquartered in Bangalore, Karnataka. It was founded by Dr. Vikram Sarabhai in 1969. The ISRO has many centers which are located in different regions of India. I have a keen interest in celestial objects like stars, galaxies and black holes. My father’s close friend is a scientist in the ISRO. I have learnt a lot about the projects of this organization from him. In addition, I had the opportunity to visit the ISRO Satellite Center on a school trip. Over the last 47 years, the ISRO has emerged as one of the six largest space agencies in the world. It develops and delivers services in various fields. Communication, weather forecast, disaster management tools, geographic information systems, navigation, telemedicine and distant education satellites are some of them. Its mission of using space research for the development of the nation has always inspired me to become a scientist.
