IELTS CUE CARD # Describe something you bought but did not use much.

April 4, 2022 IELTS Research

IELTS SPEAKING TASK # CUE CARD

Describe something you bought but did not use much.
You should say:

What you bought?

When you bought it?

Why you bought it?

and explain why you didn’t use it much.

SAMPLE ANSWER-

Sometimes, we buy things we think we actually need but we regret that later. Being an impulsive buyer, I usually end up buying things that seem attractive at first but later I realize their futility. Not long ago, I bought a fancy home theatre system for my room. Though my parents were totally against it, I somehow convinced them to let me buy one. It was a newly launched Japanese company’s home theatre system.

Recently, when my room was getting renovated, I wanted to bring some changes to it. After convincing my parents, it kept an accurate consideration of the space required for the home theatre. To install the system, the walls and ceiling of my room needed modification so that it looked completely fit with the surrounding. Therefore, I got my room renovated coming the home theatre in mind.

Being a movie enthusiast, I always dreamt of having a home theatre installed in my house so that I could binge watch my favorite films and TV series. When I saw its advertisement, it really fascinated me. It was the most advanced Home theatre system in the market which offered an excellent audio quality. The realistic 3D sound effect promised theatre like experience.

After using it for a few weeks, I got preoccupied with studies and used it very occasionally. Rearranging the entire system for every use used to be very unhandy for me. As I’m not very technically sound, I find difficulty operating the system due to which I use it very rarely.

I am a party lover. I am very popular among my friends and family to make every party a huge success.

I have been to many parties where I enjoyed a lot. One of the parties which I can never forget was a reception party of my best friend.

Last year my best friend got hitched to love of his life. Our whole friend circle was very happy and excited for his wedding as we all witnessed his struggle to get married with that girl. It was a thrilled journey with lots of ups and downs and finally, they both managed everything and tied a knot.

My friend threw his reception party in Goa, a place known for its most happening parties around the world. Goa was on top in all of ours bucket list. We always wanted to visit Goa along with friends. However, unusually, college days had been very hectic for us and after that all of us got busy in our professional lives. We could not get an opportunity to plan a visit to Goa together. To keep in mind all of ours dream to visit Goa, my friend decided to throw that party in Goa. On a sunny day, at one of the most famous beaches of Goa, all the preparations were made to celebrate this auspicious occasion. We were all gathered there to be a part of his new journey.

His wedding reception became a great reason for all one of us to meet with each other after a long time. We spent a quality time there. That party had all the arrangements to cater the need of every age group of people. We enjoyed his reception party thoroughly as well as relived our college life moments.

How do you know him/her and where did you meet?

IELTS CUE CARD # Describe the person who impressed you the most when you were in primary school

Sample Answer :

Children often have a tendency to choose their role models, by whom they are highly impressed. His mannerisms and qualities are considered to be flawless and perfect, and often serve as the reference point for the children, to build upon their character. When I was in primary school, I was fascinated by our headmistress, Mrs. Robinson.

Since she was our headmistress, therefore she was in charge of every activity in the primary wing of our school. She used to address the assembly, every morning, in auditorium. I happened to meet her for the first time, when she appointed me as the head boy of primary wing. Once appointed, I needed to summon up the daily attendance and performance report to her desk, in her office.

Well, Ma’am always used to dress elegantly and had a unique penchant of presentation. She had an impressive English oration and an enriched vocabulary collection, which made her concise and precise in her communication. She was a very prudent decision maker and an able administrator. Her leadership skills in running the school were very impressive. She was a strict martinet in matters of academic and sports performance. She exposed the children to various cultural and educational, interactive programmes, which were very beneficial. She used to teach us English too. Her ability to make the students understand, the basics of learning a language, were very simple and highly effective. I give full credentials to Ma’am, for offering me such a strong foundation in English proficiency. Moreover, she stressed on the importance of time table and discipline in life, most essential tools to achieve success. She inculcated the basic civic sense and instilled tremendous confidence in us.

I feel blessed by her mentorship. Her pedagogy was significantly helpful to me in several spheres of life. I thank her for everything I learnt from her in my childhood.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning
Martinet	strict discipline lover: Martinet is needed in defence forces to toe the line
Pedagogy	teaching and mentoring style: Arjun gave the credit of his archery to his Guru’s pedagogy

Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 Why do children make role models?

Sample answer: Childhood and specially adolescence is the age of confusion and self-doubt. There is a constant conflict between dependency and personal freedom. Value system undergoes a major scrutiny, whereby, one’s own validated norms and values are established. In such a state of uncertainty, young people cling to someone who they feel good in justified sense. Then they start imitating the person and try to impersonalize his style.

Q. 2 What is the first aspect of impression?

Sample answer: The very first aspect of impression is physical personality and the manner of communication. Physical built up is the first thing, one observes in a person in the first meeting. It is the suaveness in the speech and manners that impresses next. True character and attitude become the impression indices, only after growing familiarity with the concerned person.

Q. 3 Do the role models change for the primary standard students?

Sample answer: I think, they may or may not. A child studying in a primary standard is too susceptible and sensitive to the novel phenomena exhibited by the people. Therefore, there is a fair probability, that a child likes a person on one day and the next day he starts admiring some other person because of the different qualities. So, in this way, he can even have multiple role models. For instance, a sports minded child may be impressed by Mike Tyson and Usain Bolt equally.

IELTS Cue Card #Describe a thing you cannot live without

March 28, 2022 IELTS Research

IELTS Cue Card #Describe a thing you cannot live without

Describe a thing you cannot live without.
You should say:

What is that thing?

Why and since when is it so important for you?

Has it ever been absent in your life? How did you feel then?

And what will happen when it expires.

IELTS CUE CARD #Describe a thing you cannot live without

Sample Answer :

We all have few things or commodities in our lives, which are considered to be indispensable to our daily lives. That might be a pet for someone, a bike for a mountaineer, makeup for a celebrity star or a balanced diet for a health conscious person. It is really difficult to think of living in their absence. Similarly, I am hooked to my daily work out. I mean, I just can’t imagine what my life would be, without my daily rigorous set of exercises. I do not go to a gymnasium. Rather, I prefer free hand exercises in open.

I have been a heath freak since my early teens. I used to play football in my school. I was very fond of running, cycling and swimming too. When I started with my graduation, I watched a famous movie Rocky, played by Sylvester. It had a mind blowing effect on my psyche. I just loved his fitness and training workout schedule. It was so bare and brazenly bold rigorousness, in his physical workout, that it caught me by the nerves, instantaneously. Since then, it has become like a ceremony for me, to daily indulge in my workout. It keeps me fit and gives me that feel of feeling good about myself. Watching my body drenched in my sweat gives me jets of adrenalin rush.

Whenever I visit my home, I get immersed in a total relaxed, cool kind of fun with my parents and children. On those days, I just chill and forget my daily ritual. I spend most of my time talking with my family or watching some movie or just lazily basking in the sun. I feel blissed in those moments too, spending good time with my family. Obviously, I miss my schedule, but that is compensated by love and affection I receive at home.

I will try to maintain this discipline till my last days. With age, there might be a mitigation in my physical strength and consequently, in hardness of my exercise. But, I will keep on doing regular exercises to feel healthy and happy.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning
Indispensable	necessary: Oxygen is indispensable for us
Brazen	bold: Prime Minister has a brazen manner of communication
Indispensable	reduction: Over the time, there has been mitigation in water table

Follow-up Questions

Q. 1 Do you think that addiction to good things is good?

Sample answer: I think the word addiction does not denote a negative connotation here. If one gets habituated to a discipline that brings good results for his body and mind, then that addiction is definitely considered to be good.

Q. 2 Some people have a special nostalgia for particular things like old gifts, coins or any piece of clothing which they always keep with them. Why do they have such association that they can’t live without them?

Sample answer: Emotional gatherings accumulated over a period of so many years take the form of a particular thing. All the past memories of people and incidents are absorbed in some particular thing; to which we get associated. So, losing that thing implies virtual loss of those feelings and emotions too, which makes us feel very uncomfortable.

Q. 3 What is one thing that children can’t live without?

Sample answer: Children simply can’t live without love and care. Little children do not know the basic survival techniques and require great attention and love in order to sustain. In an atmosphere of utter negligence and hatred, it would be very difficult for children to live.

Q. 4 Does our association with the material things bring us pain?

Sample answer: Yes. Although association with the material things brings us joy and pleasure initially but it becomes a bitter experience in the absence of that particular thing. For instance, a student who is addicted to play video games on his mobile, will feel restless, if that phone is lost or due to any reason, he is not able to play the video games. Therefore, one should be aware of this cause effect relationships.
