IELTS Cue Card # Talk about learning English language

February 19, 2025 IELTS Research

In part 2 of the IELTS speaking test, a topic is given to the candidate. It is commonly called as a Cue Card. You are given a minute to make your notes about the given topic and plan what you are going to say. After the preparation time, you are expected to speak fluently on the given topic.

So, let’s practice a cue card.

Talk about learning English language

How long have you been learning English language?

Where did you learn?

What is the easiest or most difficult part of English?

Is English important in your profession?

SAMPLE ANSWER

Throughout my schooling, I studied in an English medium school. So, English was the second language I learnt at a young age. Practically, I can say that I have been familiar with English for now 18 years. During the primary years, I did not take English very seriously and grammar rules never bothered me. It was in class VIII that I understood the importance of learning grammar and vocabulary. Since then, I have been an avid reader and have made conscious attempts to improve my English language proficieny.

For me, the most difficult part of English was remembering the spellings of new words and using them in the right context. However, since I loved English, I overcame this problem by practising and writing regularly.

Now, I am a writer and I write travel blogs in English. So, English is a crucial part of my profession. For me, it is very important that my writing is clear, engaging and accurate. I’d like to conclude by saying that language acquistion is a gradual process which requires patience and continous efforts.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # Subject Taught

February 15, 2025 IELTS Research

Describe a subject taught in your school.
You should say –
– What was it and who taught it?
– How was it taught?
– What did you learn from the class?

and explain how it helped you.

Sample Answer

Many subjects were taught in my school. The subject I’d like to talk about is English. Each year a new teacher used to teach us English. I remember Ms. Sujata, Mr. Rajan and Sister Rose Charles were among the few teachers who taught us English in different years.

I think we were fortunate to have qualified English language teachers who knew how to teach. Our teachers made us so engrossed in the subject that we took it seriously. Firstly, each chapter was thoroughly discussed. Then, questions were asked from any part of the chapter, vocabulary could be any word of the chapter and we had to be well prepared for it. So, we were not just limited to questions given in the book or the ones given by the teacher, instead we had to make short questions from the chapter and learn lots of words. Of course it was tough, but it was fun, I’d say. When a chapter with a play came, we enacted it.

So, I did not just learn English, I was fully involved in it. Learning English has been very helpful for me. At a personal level, it gave me a broader exposure of different cultures, people and their perspectives. When it comes to work, communication is an integral part of my day-to-day life. I work as a business development manager so I have to communicate with businessmen, stakeholders and many other individuals, all from different parts of the world. Owing to my effective oral and written English language skills, I have achieved great success in my career. Certainly, the credit for this goes to my teachers, my school and my parents.

IELTS CUE CARD – Describe a place where you like to spend time alone

January 30, 2025 IELTS Research

IELTS CUE CARD : Describe a place where you like to spend time alone

You should say :

Where is that place?

Why do you like to go there?

What activities do you do there?

Sample Answer

I am an introverted person; therefore, most of my time is spent alone. It’s not that I hate people, but I guess I don’t get along with social gatherings and stuff, I believe this one of the reasons why I don’t have friends. My room is my dearest place to spend time doing my favourite things like reading, playing guitar, and sleeping.

Since I come from a huge family, it’s not always easy to maintain privacy, so to find a peaceful place, I have discovered a place that is nestled with lush green forests, and only a handful of people go there.It is a kind of place where time seems to stand still and the hectic outside world disappears. It’s a place of calm and seclusion where I can unwind, think, and just be among the simplicity and serenity of the natural world. This place has everything that a person who admires serenity and tranquillity needs.

Whenever I go there, I practice sketching and even play music. To my surprise, I made a friend there who shares the same taste in reading and music. Her name is Rachel, she belongs to Gujrat and had recently shifted here along with her family and cute little puppy Max. He is a bunch of happiness altogether, playing with him makes me forget my all worries. I love this place a lot and I always pray that it stays unrevealed to people otherwise it would be ruined.

Word	Meaning	Sentence
Handful of	A small number (of some body/something)	Only a handful of people came to the meeting.
serentity	State of being calm	I admire her serenity in the midst of so much chaos.

IELTS Cue Card Sample Answer # New Friend

January 27, 2025 IELTS Research

Describe a person who became your friend.
You must say-
Who is the person?
How did you meet?
What made you two become good friends?

Explain how is your friendship now?

Sample Answer: Friendship has always been very important to me. I’ve lots of friends and I’m proud to say that all of them are special to me. Today, I’m going to talk about one of my closest friends.

Her name is Abhilasha. I was in the first semester of my bachelor’s studies when I first met her. Although we were in the same faculty, initially we never talked much. It was during the end of the semester that we became good friends.

We had to give presentations for a science project. We were divided into groups of ten and every one had their co-ordinators. I was pretty much good at making presentations, so I was relaxed and working on something in our lab. It was then, when Abhilasha came worried and she told me about her problem. Her group mentor asked her to prepare her presentation a week ago but she was unable to do it because her mother was very unwell. The next day was the deadline of submission.

I felt sorry for her and I decided to help her. So, I took her to my home and without wasting any time we both started planning what to put in the slides. Since the coordinator was very picky, we had to be extra careful about the details. By late night, the presentation was ready and she even rehearsed a few times. We both felt confident. In the morning, she delievered a beautiful presentation.

I think the fact that I helped her even when my work was incomplete made her my friend. We understand and value each other. We have been close friends ever since then.
