Sample Answer

I have been brought up in a family with moral values. One of the most important virtues I have learnt is helping others in need. This value has enabled me to help everyone around me in different ways without expecting anything in return. The most recent incident I can recall was when I helped a family of three people to reach their destination.

I was coming back after dropping my friend off at her hostel located in the outskirts of the city. I noticed a car parked next to the road. The driver was desperately trying to signal other drivers for help. This sight piqued my interest, as the car was a taxi from another city. I stopped my car next to it and got down to speak to the driver. I then came to know that they were out of fuel and could not go any further. There were no fuel pumps nearby, and the family were getting late to reach their relative’s wedding in due time before the celebration started.

Without wasting any more time, I offered to drive them to the hotel where the wedding was taking place and told them to shift to my car. They happily accepted my offer and sat in my car with their luggage. Before leaving, I gave the driver directions to a fuel pump. I took this decision because it was a small family with a one-year-old child. Everyone looked exhausted due to the long journey. They were very happy and relieved when they reached their destination. They thanked me for the timely help. I returned home with a sense of satisfaction.

IELTS Cue Card: Describe a television programme that you watch

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.

IELTS Cue Card – A friend from childhood you remember very well

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 Cue Card – Describe an interesting place in your country that is not visited by many tourists

Describe an interesting place in your country that is not visited by many tourists.

You should say:

  • Where is this place?
  • What do you like about it?
  • How do you go there?

Sample Answer

India is a multicultural country with many beautiful tourist attractions. For a number of factors like location, ease of travel and popularity, some destinations remain less known. Uttarakhand is home to a few such places that are difficult to reach, as they are nestled deep into the Himalayan mountain ranges.

One such place is Deoria Taal, a lake situated on a hilltop near a village called Sari. Located at a distance of 250 kilometres from the state capital, Dehradun, it is a quaint lakeside place. I love its beautiful surroundings and breathtaking views. One can clearly see two of the tallest peaks in the Himalayan range from the viewpoint near the lake. The diversity of the flowers and the trees, coupled with the serenity of the water body, provides a soothing and calm environment for the visitors, making it an ideal spot for a weekend visit.

To reach the lake, visitors have to trek for about three kilometres. The nearby area is surrounded by dense forests on high peaks and is largely uninhabited. Moreover, Deoria is a freshwater lake with a grassy area next to it, making it perfect for camping in the lap of nature. Also, there is a lot of wildlife that comes to the lake to drink water. So, lucky visitors can enjoy the wildlife as well. Even though the lake is open throughout the year, summer is the best time to visit this place.
