The cue card section (part 2) is the most important and challenging section of the speaking test. Here are some speaking cue cards with example answers to help you speak effectively in your IELTS exam. Prompt Question Template  Talk about a sport or exercise that you do for fitness. You should say: What it is? How often you do it? Why you do it? and explain how this activity or sport helps your fitness. Example Answer: Walking is a good form of exercise and requires less physical effort than any?other regular forms of exercise. I walk regularly in the morning to keep my?body fit. I want to talk about one of the most popular forms of exercise - walking.?Walking has a wide range of health benefits. It makes the people fit and the?most important thing is that the people who walk do not need any external?instruments to perform the walk. Moreover, it is convenient to all ages of?people. There is no preset speed or distance is set for walking. So, an individual?can have a walk after his or her necessity. But in some cases when walking is?prescribed by a doctor to prevent any specific physical illness or disorder, then?you are to follow the prescribed distance to get cured. Well, I usually take the walk in the early hours of the day and take it every day.?I have no physical disorders or any other troubles but I go for the walk to have?a grand opening for the day. Usually, on the weekends, I take a break from the?walk. You know the weekend nights are too exciting in Singapore streets and?thus I cannot get back home before midnight. If you were me, it would have?been tougher for you too to get up at 5.30 am for the walk. So, I take the?breaks on the weekends. But on the other days, I do not miss the walk and also?have formed a team of walkers who accompany me in the early morning. I?have two neighbors who are also conscious about their health and thus we?three move for the walk in the city street. Do you know that walking is the best form of freehand exercise? I think you?are well informed about it. In fact, walking does not need any specific cause to?perform and the benefits are more than your imagination. I get the walk done?in the morning so that I can have a healthy beginning of the day. When I go out?for the walk, I have the chance to breathe in the fresh air. Besides, the?surrounding environment is calm and quiet. There are not traffics on the roads?and everything remains silent which is not found in the other times of the day.?So, I walk in the morning. Besides, I have to sit all the time in my office (the?boring desk job) and lack the required movements to burn calories I intake.?Though the calories are not harmful now, they contain the potentials to affect?me after a year if I do not care about them from now. This is another important issue for me to walk in the morning. The morning walk is helping me to a great extent to maintain my fitness level. I?have been walking for around three years and as a result, my weight is under?control and the heartbeat follows the regular rhythm while many of my?colleagues have gained weight only for their desk job whereas I have been fit?as I was in the beginning days of my job. Moreover, the morning walk makes?my mind fresh and I feel lucky to breathe in the fresh air. Usually, the air is hot?and polluted in the busy hours in this Lion city and I also cannot manage?enough spaces to walk speedily. So, I have picked the morning to get the walk.?Besides, it gives me the energy to deal with the challenges at my office.?Moreover, I can think clearly which I believe is the benefit of walking as it?keeps my thoughts cool always. Describe a place where you read and write, apart from your home. You should say: What is it? Where is it? Why do you go there to read and write? Example Answer There are many places apart from my home where I read and write. One such place is my school, and another is a library. Here, I would like to talk about the library. The name of the library is Guru Nanak Library. It is run by an NGO. This NGO also runs a blood bank. The building is circular and has around 10,000 books. The annual membership is Rs 500/- I go there very often. This library is walking distance from my home. During exam days, I go there every day. I can concentrate much better there than at home. The atmosphere is very calm and peaceful. Cell phones are not allowed there. Many senior citizens of my hometown visit it regularly. They sit and read some papers or magazines over there. There are 5 computers with an internet connection. I usually surf the net there when I have to prepare my assignments. The tables and chairs provided there are also very nice and comfortable. I love the ambience of the library. There is one librarian who is very helpful when I have to search for any book. Many of my friends also come there to study. So, this is the place apart from home where I read and write. Describe a book that had a strong impact on you. You should say: What the books was? Why did you decide to read it? How did it influence you? Would you recommend it to others? Example Answer   I The book I am going to talk about now is my favourite one, it is called Atlas Shrugged. I read it when I was in my freshmen years of university. I remember, one of my friends suggested to read it, and then I also came across multiple positive reviews on the internet. What also made me interested in learning more about the book was the fact that it was written by a Russian-American author Ayn Rand a woman with quite a difficult but unbelievable fate who lived in the same city as I do in Russia. So, finally, I uploaded a copy to my e-book and started reading it. I think, I dedicated more than a month to read it from cover to cover, because the book is rather long around 1000 pages. However, it was very much worth the time. I was astonished by the depth with which the author described characters of main figures, as well as by the unexpected plot twists. Indeed, I loved how Ms. Rand painted strong, intelligent, active businessmen and women who continued to push their values and innovations to change the difficult, filthy and hopeless world of the future for better. I would definitely recommend reading it to as many people as possible this is the kind of thought-provoking literature that never leaves people indifferent. You either love it or hate it in the end. Generally, Atlas Shrugged is perfect for anyone looking for a powerful and inspirational read. Describe a time you visited a place with friends. You should say: Where you went?? What you did there?? Who you were with? Explain why it was a memorable experience? Example Answer   Well, I spend my spare time with my friends quite often. I'd especially like to talk about the time my friends and travelled to Thailand after graduating from medical school. After all those years of blood, sweat, and tears, we really deserved this trip. I vividly remember this moment because as soon as we got out of our final exams, we were all aboard on the way to Bangkok. Six of us had originally agreed upon going, but finally, two bailed at the last minute. When I think about it, it was an experience to bond more with just this small group. The main reason visiting there was to get away from the stress gained from studying very hard. Speaking of what we did there. It was pure relaxation and discovery. We saw everything from the majestic pagodas and kingdoms in Bangkok to the pristine white-sanded beaches in the Phi Phi Islands. Even more than just the incredible landscapes. The kindhearted people were welcoming what really left their mark on us. To sum up, we truly had a blast on this trip. It was really what we needed at the time! I'll never forget the flavours of pad thai and bubble tea! It was 100% a blast. Part 1: Introduction and Interview [This part of the test begins with the examiner introducing himself or herself and checking the candidate’s identification. It then continues as an interview.] Topic: Leisure time
Q: What do you like to do in your free time? I do quite a lot of sport actually. I play football mostly - on Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoon with a local team. I also play tennis and squash when I can but I don't really get the time to do them as well every week. I work quite hard at the moment, so I don't get a lot of free time unfortunately.
Q: Have your leisure activities changed since you were a child? Not a great deal actually. I used to love playing football when I was young as well - I played a lot at school. Though of course I did all the other things kids loved to do such as going out on bike rides after school and things.
Q: Do you prefer to spend your free time alone or with other people? It depends on my mood really. I think most people need some time on their own. Sometimes my work is quite stressful and I spend a lot of time there with others, so it's good to just get home and relax and read a book or something. But I get bored if I am alone too much so I like to go out and meet friends in the evening or play football. https://ieltstutorials.online/sample-questions/cue-card https://www.ieltsbuddy.com/ielts-speaking-samples.html
