IELTS CUE CARD # DECISION THAT YOU MADE, IELTSBAND7 DEHRADUN

SAMPLE ANSWER

Life is nothing but a sum total of all the decisions that we take, the priorities we made. Few years back I had to make a decision, to either take up a job in a reputed company or the one which although pays more is not a very reputed one! For a long time I pondered over the thought and finally decided to go for the company that was paying more.

My goals in life were different from the ones going to the reputed company and there were loans that I had to pay and so I decided to opt for the lesser reputed company. It turned out to be actually the best decision of my life. I was able to pay back my loans faster than many other friends of mine and go for further education. While taking the decision, I had asked my father for advice.

He told me to write down the pros and cons of both the sides and then go for the ones with more pros and less of cons and then stand by it. On doing so, I did ended up making a decision and have not regret it even for a minute of my life. It was the most important decision of my life because it helped me in furthering my future than most of my friends faster.

IELTS CUE CARD # DESCRIBE A SUBJECT YOU ENJOYED STUDYING AT SCHOOL

Sample Answer

Economics has been one of my favourite subjects since I was at school and was first introduced to this subject when I was in the 8th Standard. I was lucky enough to have the best teacher who taught me economics as she always had a manner of make it interesting. She never taught it like a normal subject but made it exciting by relating it to current situations and gave examples to explain the theory.
I had never thought that economics could be so interesting and invigorating and that is how the lessons used to be in school. We always had interactive classes where we were not only supposed to listen to the teacher but also put up questions and discuss them at length. No other subject was like this one as the others were more theoretical and based on certain principles. But economics was and still is a subject where one has to think out of the box and relate it to what happens in our day to day lives and all around us.
One thing I can say is that I thoroughly enjoyed the subject in my school and have pursued the same after completing my secondary education because of the practical essence and relevance this subject has in real life.

Swimming is an activity or more so sport. So, it is possible that you may know swimming or may not. Let us have a look at some of the sample questions and possible answers that might be asked in the speaking section 1.

Yes, I can. We were taught swimming when I was in Class VIII, in my school. It was compulsory for us to learn swimming at that time, and I am thankful to the school to teach us.

Are there many places to swim near you?

Yes, there are few public swimming pool in our city. One of them is very close to my house. There is also a big indoor sports complex in our city, wherein there are two or more swimming pools. Also, some outdoor swimming pools available, but one can use them only in summers as they are very cold in the winters.

Do you think everyone should learn how to swim?

Surely, yes. I think it is very important these days. A person who knows swimming can actually go on and enjoy a different aspect of life i.e. water. Like, if you go on to a beach with your friends, you can enjoy yourself with your friends. Even more, it is very helpful for security reasons and I think it is very important for children to learn it.

IELTS Cue Card: A special cake you made for someone

August 24, 2021 Pooja Ph.D. CELTA

IELTS Cue Card: A special cake you made for someone

You should say:

who you made the cake for

what the occasion was

what type of cake it was

and explain how that person felt on receiving the cake.

Sample Answer

Any special occasion is incomplete without cakes. That’s what I suppose. On last Mother’s day, I thought of giving my mom a little surprise. I planned to bake a delicious cake for her.

Early morning I went to a nearby grocery store to buy all the ingredients I needed to make the cake. I bought flour, cocoa powder, some cookies, chocolate chips and whip cream. I bought a big bar of dark chocolate as well.

My mom happens to be a big fan of dark chocolate. I decided to bake a dark chocolate cake for her. I searched for a recipe online and followed the process step by step. I mixed the flour well with butter and added the cocoa powder according to the measurements described. I melted the dark chocolate bar and added the same to the mixture. The batter smelled great.

Once the batter was ready, I heated the oven and poured the batter into the mould and let it go for baking. Meanwhile, I went to a nearby florist to get some red roses for my mother. Once the cake was ready I decided to decorate it with everything that I had on hands. I used Oreo cookies to build the boundary layer around the cake, accompanied by a fine cream rim. I made a small wafer board with “Happy Mother’s Day” written and put it on the cake.

I took the cake to my mom and she was surprised to see it. I gave her the flowers too. She was delighted beyond words. She happily took the knife and cut the cake and offered me a piece. It was delectable. I wished her a happy Mother’s Day and hugged her. As it was a big cake, she even shared it with her friends. Everybody loved it. I felt great for making her day special.
