Describe a television programme that you watch.

You should say:

• What kind of television programme it is?
• What usually happens in the television programme?
• Why you enjoy watching the television programme?

And explain why you would recommend the television programme to the other people.

Sample Answer:

I don’t watch TV so often, but whenever I find a chance, I always try and watch a show called “Kings of Restoration”. It is featured on the History Channel. It is a great show for anyone who has an interest in art and creativity.

The show starts with the announcement of the product received recently for restoration. Rick Dale, the owner and the host, along with his team, explores the product and tells about its current condition and what ideas they have for fixing it. They get a variety of products, from old broken vending machines to automobiles. The whole team works hand in hand to get the original raw parts and prepare the required designs. The show telecasts the way they work on each of the old parts.

I love watching this show for a number of reasons. I used to team up with my dad as a child and watch the whole series with uttermost fascination. So, this show holds memories with my dad. As both of us have a deep, profound interest in machines and tools, we would often talk over our own suggestions and ideas while watching it.

This TV programme has also helped me come up with a lot of creative solutions for my old goods and helped me restore many items that weren’t in use. The best part about the show is always the ending scene when they finally give away the restored product to the owner. It leaves every one of us, including the customer, enthralled and amazed. I recommend this show to everyone because it’s a perfect Sunday afternoon show for both the young and old. It not only entertains the viewers but also provides a lot of knowledge at the same time.

A friend from childhood you remember very well.

You should know:

• When and how did you first meet this friend?
• What did you like to do together?
• What did you have in common?

Sample Answer

Friendship is a beautiful relation that touches everyone’s lives in a different way. I too have had many amazing people as my friends, especially during my childhood. I can recall many such friends who were very close to me, but the closest one was Smith.

He was my best friend for a better part of my childhood. I met him when I was 6 years old. He lived in the neighbourhood just two houses away from ours. I met him on the first day in the society garden. I was roaming about aimlessly when he appeared and asked me if I live here. We started talking and discovered a lot of common things to talk about. Soon became the best buddies for almost 7 years until his family moved to another state. We had a lot of matching thoughts and hobbies. We both liked playing video games, collecting comic books, watching cartoons; and reading stories, amongst other activities. We used to go to school and many other outings together. We also played and studied together at both our homes.

Our goals in the future were also the same, as we both wanted to become teachers when we grew up. We even had a similar taste in food and dressing ideas. This friendship was important to me to such an extent that I considered him my sibling more than a friend. He was the only neighbouring kid who I spent the maximum amount of my time with. The best part is all the memories that we created together and the fact that I still cherish them in my heart.

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.
