IELTS Speaking task cue card

Describe a person who has interesting opinions.

• Who this person is?
• How do you know this person?
• What interesting idea he/she gave?
• Explain why it was important.

SAMPLE ANSWER
We all are, at some point in our lives, affected by the opinions of others. It eventually broadens our viewpoint and thinking process. The topic reminds me of our school’s psychology teacher whose influential opinions affected me the most. Her name was Ma’am Pooja, and she was quite admired among her students mainly due to her optimistic attitude towards life and the way in which she gave her personal suggestions and recommendations while teaching, making the students comfortable in any situation. Her cheerful nature was absolutely remarkable.

As I told you earlier, Ma’am Pooja was my psychology teacher at school, but she was also one of my closest friends’ mothers. With time, I started discussing my confidential matters with her. She taught me to keep a positive view towards life, and with her help and guidance, I was able to improve my confidence substantially.

This all started when once I went to visit my friend, and I had a low spirit that day regarding my choice of career. My parents wanted me to pursue my profession in chartered accountancy, while I was interested in photography. She guided me to speak to my parents about my passion in this field and gave me a brilliant idea of taking them to an international photography event that was being conducted in my city. This helped me change their perspective towards this profession. Since that day, I constantly take Ma’am’s advice related to many things without hesitation. I’m extremely grateful for her guidance, because of which today I’m a widely known photographer in my country. Had I not followed her advice, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have so far.

Describe a TV presenter.
You should say:

• who is she or he?
• what programme does she or he present?
• how does she or he present the program?

and explain why you like / dislike him/ her.

Sample Answer 1

Today, I’d like to talk about a renowned TV presenter. He is our country’s favourite TV show presenter, Kapil Sharma. His series, Comedy Nights With Kapil, is one of the most famous and funny television programmes. Even people from foreign countries watch this show and come to experience Kapil live.

Kapil Sharma has changed the way comedy shows are hosted in India. Some people often say that he is the country’s finest comedian and one of the best presenters our industry has ever seen. There are many Bollywood stars who wait to come onto his show, and every movie that is about to get released is surely promoted on his show.

One thing that I love about him is that he knows how to make people laugh and the witty answers that he gives – they are truly amazing. At times, there are people in the audience who try to be oversmart with him or maybe sometimes rude with the guest stars. Without losing his temper, Kapil Sharma cleverly deals with them and makes everyone laugh.

Kapil Sharma shows have two parts. In the first part, funny scenes are enacted in a family setting using dialogues, dance and music. In the second part, celebrities come to the show to talk about their life, achievements, challenges and their talent. Kapil and his team create a funny environment in which everyone gets engrossed.

I think one reason why everyone loves him and his show is because, in some way or the other, it strikes a chord. We can see some irritating and lovely characters in his show that we can relate to. And then, the dialogues are so amazing that people tend to repeat them in their daily conversations, making it a great show.

Sample Answer 2

 

I love watching TV shows hosted by presenters. Today, I’m going to talk about my favourite TV presenter. His name is Rannvijay. He hosts the most famous youth show called ‘Roadies’. Apart from being its presenter, he also takes part in selecting candidates for the show. He is one of the best TV presenters that our television industry has seen in almost a decade.

His presentation style is very interactive and people-centric. The way he connects with the audience in the show is amazing. Other things that I really like about him are his speaking style and fairness. His voice is commendable, and when the participants are wrong, he finds it not at all difficult to tell them that they are wrong. At times, when any candidate experiences injustice, he is the first one to come forward. So, it is not just about reading the given script but about managing the entire show, making sure that the candidate’s true colours come out.

In one of the shows, Rannvijay was also the participant, and he played his part really well. There were times when he lost and other times when he won. But the most important point was his never-dying spirit. And this is the spirit that he tries to bring to the contestants and, in some way, to the whole nation. I really admire his talent.
