And explain why you admire this actor/actress?

Sample Answer

I am very fond of watching movies and web series. And, I admire the actors who bring their roles to life. Here, I would like to talk about an actor who I personally admired the most, Sushant Singh Rajput, who has truly impressed me with his acting skills & moreover his humble nature was to die for. Although, he’s not alive now but I still admire his work. In all the roles he has played, it seems like he has become the actual character, living his role to the fullest. I saw his immaculate work in the movie Kai Po Che where he played a lead role showcasing the struggles of a common man affected by 2001 Gujrat earthquake. Another movie in which he played an outstanding role was PK. He even played a lead in a romantic comedy movie Shudh Desi romance. Dhoni biopic, Raabta and Kedarnath proved to be the biggest hits of Sushant Singh in the bollywood movie industry. He gained much fame and recognition after these movies. Sushant Singh Rajput was a talented and promising Indian actor. He comes from a humble background and has faced many struggles in his journey. Most of his movies have been huge suceccess. His death was a heartbreaking incident to the nation but still he is present in our hearts through his spectacular work. Now, whenever I watch any old movies in which he has even a small role, I watch it till the end because of his captivating performance.

IELTS Cue Card Latest Question # Change

December 8, 2025 IELTS Research

The world is growing and changing everyday and we most certainly can see the changes everyday in our surroundings. It could be a new building that is coming up in the city or a flyover that will change the way transport happens. This time we are looking at a cue card that talks about a part of your city that is changing and tries to note down the points on your feelings about it.

Describe a part of your city that is changing. You should say :

where is it

how is it changing

why is it changing

and explain, how do you feel about this change.

NOTES:

Dehradun
already beautiful. part of smart city plan
flyover construction on the national highway roads
reduce traffic
helps transportation bus to go on their smooth pace without affecting the normal lives pace
great attempt by the government to ensure safety at roads and faster movement

SAMPLE ANSWER

Our country is seeing major changes in the recent years. With economy of our country growing, the shift has now come towards making the country a better place to live in. As a result, our government has decided to make 109 cities in the country as smart cities and Dehradun also falls under this plan. We have seen in the present day, the construction of sewers and water pipe line all over the city. But, I think one major change that I would like to talk about is the flyover construction on the national highway roads.

All through the city, there are three major highway out of which two are used for daily communication as well. Construction of flyover took place on these roads. Although, during the construction we faced lot of issues. Because, the road got narrower and until the flyover was made, everyone had to go through it making it difficult to traverse through those path. Even more, there was lot of dust left during the flyover making.

However, once completely constructed it made our lives so much more easier. We had to not bother about those racing trucks as they usually passed over the flyover. This helped in reducing the traffic and more importantly the risk of accidents. I believe it was a brilliant step taken by the government to ensure safety as well as faster pace for everyone while commuting.

WORD MEANING

construction

the action of building something, typically a large structure.

flyover

bridge carrying one railway line or road over another.

commuting

travel some distance between one’s home and place of work on a regular basis.

IELTS Cue Card Latest Question # Mobile Phones

December 6, 2025 IELTS Research

Most people in the world have changed the way they use mobile phones! Gone are the days when phones were just a medium of communication. In the present era, they are much more that! With the integration of mobile phones and internet, one can find people using them almost everywhere. This time we are looking at a cue card when one was asked not to use their mobile phone.

Describe a situation where you were not allowed to use your mobile phone. You should say :

when was it

where were you present

what did you do

also explain, how did you felt when you were separated from your phone

NOTES

Puri
visited Jagannath temple
was asked to keep phones outside the temple
took a coupon and placed the phone in the counter
felt bad initially
had plans of clicking photos
felt more peaceful and enjoyed the temple visit

SAMPLE ANSWER

Travelling is something that I do love and when I was posted in Bhubaneswar for an year, I did visited Puri. Puri is around 60 kms from Bhubaneswar and in there is the most religious temple of India, the Jagannath temple. I visited the temple with a plan of clicking photos at every nook and corner of the temple and write a blog about it. But, to my surprise, I was asked to keep my phone outside the temple. At that I carried two phones and although I felt that may be carrying a camera phone was not allowed. But, I was stopped from carrying my other low end phone as well.

What I came to know later on what that the temple people want you to focus only on the temple visit and get a hold of the ambience of the temple. Irritated initially, I entered the temple and did visited every part of it. But, I think not having a phone for an hour helped me connect with myself in a better manner. At that point, I had no other option but to live in the very moment.

There was no chaos for clicking photos nor for picking any calls or listening to music. I ended up thanking the temple committee for not allowing phones in the arena.

IELTS Cue Card 2017 Questions # Life Lesson

December 5, 2025 IELTS Research

Most often in life, we meet people who not only do become our friends or comrades, they go on to teach us things that no book ever teaches us. This time we are looking at a cue card that talks about a life lesson that someone very special taught you.

Describe a life lesson that you learnt from someone special.

who is that person

what did they teach you

how did they teach you

also, explain, did you tell it to someone else as well.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Life is beautiful. This is something I can say now, but a few years back, I really could not make sense out of my life and was troubled by the smallest of changes. Back then, I worked at a software company and apart from work, made few friends here and there. Out of all of those comrades that I made and the friends that I bonded over, I met a person who taught me the importance of relationships.

She was a good friend of mine and until meeting her I thought relations are facard and everyone is busy with their lives. It was she who told me that no matter how people behave with us it is very important that we showed the love and care. This is the most important thing to have lasting relationships in life. On questioning on why should I be bothered about others, she told me that one must take care of themselves and then of people around.

All of this was not something she spoke off, but what she showed off. There were times when people left her, but the ones that stayed were amazing and her life is so much more beautiful because she has people to share it with!

I have not been able to imbibe it very well in my life, so possibly, not got the chance to share with others. But obviously, in the little actions that I do, if someone understands it, I do thank my friend Anamika.
