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 Describe one of your family members you spend the most time with. You should say: Who is he/she? What do you usually do together? What kind of person he/she is? Why you spend most of the time with him/her? Example Answer: If I had to talk about myself, I would say I am a very reserved person and it takes a lot of time to become familiar with strangers. However, I love spending time with my family. I am very close to both my parents but as we are all working (as they are working and I am studying), it's hard for us to spend time together. The person I do spend a lot of time together with is my nephew- my sister's child. He is nearly five years old. He is very special to me. There are many reasons for that. Firstly, everyone says that he looks like me and secondly, we both like spending time with each other. I think the reason for that is we feel very comfortable with each other. I get to act like a child around him and I miss being a child. He is also like me ? very shy with strangers and he is very naughty ? just like I was in my childhood. So, spending time with him reminds me of my childhood in some ways. In my childhood, I was in a hurry to grow up but now I sometimes wish I could reverse time and bring back my childhood. There are so many things we do together. But something that we really enjoy doing is to play pranks on Deepa, my sister and his mother. I think we can do that all day long. We also both love eating chocolates, so whenever we can, we try to buy and eat chocolates secretly. However, I do get scolded sometimes as I am the adult. I also have a dog and so we both like playing with her. We love taking her out on walks and feeding her. In the evening, I take my nephew to the park and just spend time on the swings there. Sometimes, I wish he would always remain a child, but I know that's not going to happen even if I wish for it a million times. Talk about an interesting conversation. You should say: Who was the person? When and where did you have the conversation? What was the conversation about? Example Answer I consider myself to be a very social person and I love talking to people. There are certain conversations that I can never forget. This specific conversation I am going to talk about today happened roughly four-five months ago and that too with a stranger. I was traveling by bus to Chandigarh for an exam. This person boarded the bus at the next stop. He sat next to me and we just casually started talking. The conversation started with normal day to day things like the increasing traffic and the sweltering summer heat. After some time, he started telling me about his profession. He was in the merchant navy. So, as soon as he told me about his profession, I flooded him with questions. He told me about the difficulties and also told me about the fun part of being in the merchant navy. Some things were very interesting. He told me that he only works about eight months a year. The rest of the four months he spends with his family. He plays cricket, goes on vacations, and does whatever he wants during those four months. I remember that he was a bit sad though, as it was the last day of those four months, that year. After this conversation, all I could think about was a merchant navy like other childhood fantasies, the craze disappeared very soon. However, this conversation will always be a part of my memories. A person who taught you something important. You should say: Who the person is? What he/she is like? What he/she taught you? How you felt about him/her? Example Answer I have learnt many important things from people around me. One such important thing that I learnt is cooking. My mother taught me this skill. Ever since I made a plan to go abroad for my higher education my mother started involving me in the kitchen. My mother is in her 40s. Her name is Harsimran. She is not very tall but looks very beautiful. Her hair has started greying but she doesn't colour or dye her hair. She has a gifted hand at cooking. Normally she does all the cooking by herself and sometimes my sister helps her, but I hardly ever did anything in the kitchen. But now she has taught me how to knead the dough, how to prepare dal, how to cook rice, how to prepare some vegetables and also how to make chapatis. Actually, my cousin went to Canada for her education and there he found a lot of difficulties cooking for himself. He is a vegetarian and vegetarian food outlets are very few in Canada. Whatever food outlets are there are very expensive. So cooking is a very important skill which I think everyone should know. I am very happy that I can cook for myself now and I can make all the things which I like. Last week my mother had an attack of viral fever when suddenly my aunt and uncle came from Amritsar. I prepared rice and dal for them and both these things turned out really good. They were very happy and praised me in front of everyone. My mother was very proud of me that day. My mother has also taught me some Chinese dishes. I really love cheese chilli and Manchurian. Now I can make these dishes also and I can add the vegetables and sauces according to my liking. I feel that my mother has done a great job by teaching me this important skill in cooking. I would never have learnt it without her guidance. A Leisure activity that you do with your family. You should say: What activity it is? When do you do it? With whom do you do it? Do you enjoy doing it? Example Answer I always look forward to spending some leisure time with my family. Usually, on public holidays and weekends, we get that opportunity. I would like to talk about an activity that we do as a family on such off days. It is playing the board game - Scrabble. In this game, words have to be created using tiles that have letters and points printed on them. The board has a crossword like design and the tiles are placed on the board to create words and get scored according to the points on the tiles. The board also has some squares that add or multiply the points. We are a family of four and we usually play this game as individual participants and sometimes in pairs. This is the time we get to really bond and chat with each other while having fun playing the game. Sometimes we fight with each other, but playfully. While growing up too, my siblings and I used to play this game. Our parents made sure that even during playtime we learn something. This game has had a tremendous role to play in building our vocabulary. Even though there are many game apps these days that emulate this game, but the real fun is in playing the actual board game. I believe that children should be made to play such games, through which they get to learn something and also spend quality time with family and friends.

Can I see your identification, please? Student: Yes/ Sure, here is my ID/ identification. Examiner: Thanks. We can now get started with the first part of the exam. In the first part, I will ask you some personal questions. First, I'd like to ask about...
Environment Part 1 Part 1 Time: 4-5 minutes Examiner: Now, in this first part of the test, I'm going to ask you some questions about yourself. First, I'd like to ask about your hometown. What kind of place is your hometown? Tell me about the most interesting place in your hometown. What changes would you like to make to your hometown?

Part 2 Part 2 Time: 3-4 minutes Examiner: Now, I'm going to give you a topic, and I'd like you to talk about it for 1-2 minutes. Before you talk, you'll have one minute to think about what you are going to say, and you can make notes if you wish. Do you understand? Student: Yes, I understand. Examiner: Ok, here's some paper and a pencil to make notes, and here is your topic. I'd like you to describe an environmental problem that has occurred in your country. Cue Card Example Answer I'm going to talk about a problem with the environment in my country. One of the most serious problems at the moment is flooding. This is starting to happen every year, and each year it seems to get worse. I think it may be caused by a number of factors. Firstly, there has been a lot of deforestation in the north of the country, a lot of it from illegal logging. Because of this, when it rains, the water has nothing to soak up, so it just runs down the mountains and into the villages and towns. Another factor may be global warming. Scientists believe that this is causing more severe weather, so this may account for the increasing amount of rain that we seem to be seeing. It also means the soil is drier, so again the rainwater runs off it rather than being soaked up. Unfortunately, there have been really serious effects on my country. As I said, the excess water runs into the villages and the towns through the rivers and the rivers then overflow, causing massive flooding. This affects thousands of people who then become homeless. Several hundred usually die each year as well. It travels through the country as it starts in the north and goes down to the sea, so it can affect many towns and the capital city too. This also has repercussions for the government as they have to spend so much money managing the disaster each year. The government is trying to tackle the problem, but it is not easy. They are trying to stop so much deforestation, but a lot of the damage has already been done, so what can they do? They are also starting to build defences, such as walls, along some of the major rivers that run through the town to try to stop them overflowing. Another thing they are doing is trying to improve their response systems. In most towns, there is now a government organisation responsible for coordinating relief operations and making sure they are prepared in advance. I think this problem is a top priority to solve because it has such devastating impacts. As I mentioned before, it causes suffering for so many people, and it is also a huge expense for the government, and as we are not a rich country, we cannot afford this. It means that other services suffer because of a lack of money. There are other problems that my country has, but I think that is by far the worst. So, that is the serious problem in my country, and I only hope that it does not continue to get worse. Example Answer Follow-up questions: Are other people concerned about this problem? Do you talk about it with your friends? Part 3 Part 3 Time: 4-5 minutes Examiner: We've been talking about an environmental problem in your country, and I'd now like to ask you some questions related to this. First, let's consider global environmental problems. Example with answers: Environmental Problems Tell me about some of the environmental problems that are affecting countries these days. Example Well, there are a lot at the moment. Although it has not been proven for sure, there is a great deal of consensus about the fact that global warming is leading to severe weather change and this is resulting in many problems. We are seeing a lot of countries with the same problems that they have always had, but on a much larger scale. For example, in the United States, there seem to be far more hurricanes and tornadoes than in the past, with more devastating effects. There seems to be constant news of serious flooding in many countries from Asia to Europe. Forest fires also seem to be getting worse, particularly each year in Australia. Do you think that governments around the world are doing enough to tackle the problems? Example No, usually I don't think they are doing enough. There are countries that do what they can to help their people when problems occur, and they are trying to come up with measures to mitigate the effects, but when it comes to the major issue of global warming, countries are not doing enough. We see time and again that no agreement can be made on how to reduce carbon footprints. This is usually because governments know that to make a serious reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, they will have to sacrifice economic growth, and they are not prepared to do this. Governments think very short-term. They know that if there is an economic decline, then they will be voted out. Why do some people not consider environmental problems to be serious? Example I think there are several reasons for that. In some cases, it is simply because people are not affected on a day-to-day basis, so it does not concern them. They just see it on the news, affecting other people. It does not mean they do not care, but they will soon forget about it. Also, some big organisations can be responsible for putting the wrong information out. For example, oil companies have a vested interest in making sure people do not believe in global warming, as it could affect their profits, so they downplay the issue. Also, some people think that, as it is a long-term problem, they will have passed away by the time it affects them, so they think it is not important for them! Examiner: Now we'll look at environmental problems and disasters caused by humans. What do you consider to be the world’s worst environmental disaster caused by humans? Example I think that may be the nuclear disaster in Chornobyl, Ukraine. In that case, there was an explosion and nuclear meltdown. It caused great loss of life. The environment was badly affected, and it is still affected today and could be for many years. There are also many people who are still getting sick from the disaster, and no one can live anywhere near the site. Of course, there are many other serious ones, some more recent, such as the oil spills in Africa and the US. Why do you think environmental disasters caused by humans happen? Example It could be for different reasons. In some cases, it is simply because not enough care is taken. Maybe procedures are not good enough. It could also be because the drive for profit means that there is cost-cutting, and that again could mean that good procedures are not in place. There is usually a situation when a disaster happens where blame will be deflected, and it is difficult to establish exactly who is responsible. Nobody wants to admit responsibility because it means they will have to pay compensation. Sometimes a disaster can happen because of a simple mistake by someone. Do you think there will be more environmental disasters caused by humans in the future? Example I don't think there will necessarily be more. Procedures are always getting tighter, so in theory, there should be fewer, but mistakes will always happen, so I'm sure they will continue, unfortunately. Governments must continue to prosecute any companies that cause environmental problems or disasters so that they are less likely to happen again.
Possessions Part 1 Part 1 Time: 4-5 minutes Examiner: Now, in this first part of the test I'm going to ask you some questions about yourself. Lets talk about your hometown. What kind of place is your hometown? What do young people do for entertainment in your hometown? What is the worst thing about living in your hometown? (Why?) Okay, I’d like to move on and ask you some questions about tourism in your country. What should a visitor see and do in your country? Are there any traditional art or music that you would recommend? (Why?) Tell me about the kind of visitors who come to your country. Let’s move on and talk about being on time for appointments. Is being late acceptable in your culture? (Why/why not?) Are you ever late for appointments? (Why/why not?) What type of excuses do you think are alright for lateness? How do you feel when someone is late for an appointment with you? Part 2 Part 2 Time: 3-4 minutes Examiner: Now, I'm going to give you a topic, and I'd like you to talk about it for 1-2 minutes. Before you talk, you'll have one minute to think about what you are going to say, and you can make notes if you wish. Do you understand? Student: Yes, I understand. Examiner: Ok, here's some paper and a pencil to make notes, and here is your topic. I'd like you to describe an environmental problem that has occurred in your country. Cue Card Follow-up questions: Is it valuable in terms of money? Would it be easy to replace? Example Answer I'm going to talk about a problem with the environment in my country. One of the most serious problems at the moment is flooding. This is starting to happen every year, and each year it seems to get worse. I think it may be caused by a number of factors. Firstly, there has been a lot of deforestation in the north of the country, a lot of it from illegal logging.

Do you talk about it with your friends? Part 3 Part 3 Time: 4-5 minutes Examiner: We've been talking about something you own which is very important to you, and I'd now like to ask you some questions related to this. First, lets consider values and the way they change. What kinds of possessions give status to people in your country? Has it always been the same or were different possessions thought of as valuable in the past? Why do you think people need to show their status in society? Now we'll discuss the role of advertising. Do you think advertising influences what people buy? Do advertisements give correct information, or do they encourage people to buy things that they may not need? Is advertising really necessary in modern society? *** Thank you. That is the end of the speaking test for IELTS.

5 Reasons People Don’t Do Well In Speaking Part 2 1) Don’t speak for the full 2 minutes. 2) Run out of things to say. 3) Have an unstructured talk. 4) Read their notes rather than speak naturally. 5) Panic because they think they know nothing about the topic. Details How long to speak for A common question from students is, “Do I have to talk for exactly 2 minutes?” The simple answer is “No”. Keep talking until the examiner stops you, which will be at around 2 minutes. If you stop before 1 minute 40 or 1 minute 50, this will probably affect your score as you may lose marks for fluency & coherence. Why do people finish early? It’s because they’ve run out of things to say. The reason they don’t know what else to say is generally that they haven’t used their 1-minute planning time wisely. This is most likely because they don’t have a good planning strategy.
Poor planning leads to an unstructured answer with ideas popping up all over the place and not really tying together. You'll find 3 strategies for your IELTS Speaking Part 2 talk on these pages: Planning Strategy - Method 1:
‘question prompt’ + planning notes & sample answers. Planning Strategy - Method 2:
‘brainstorming’ + planning notes & sample answers. Planning Strategy - Method 3:
‘the 5 senses’ planning notes & sample answers. Reading out notes Another classic mistake candidates make is to read out their notes rather than talking naturally. This has several consequences. If you read your notes, your speech will sound like ‘reading’, not ‘speaking’. It will have unnatural fluency, sentence stress and pronunciation. This will not please the examiner. They’re there to test your speaking skills, not your reading ability. Focusing too closely on your notes while speaking may also cause you to move quickly from one bullet point to the next without developing your ideas. You're likely to reach the end with lots of time still to go and nothing more to say. Use your notes as a guide only. Don’t panic Don’t be that candidate who completely wastes their planning time because they’re convinced they don’t know anything about the subject they’ve been asked to talk about, and goes into brain meltdown. Most topics are related to everyday life and common experiences. I guarantee that I could ask you about any subject in these categories and you could tell me at least three or four things you know about it, even if the topic was something you believed you knew nothing about. Three or four things are enough to create an answer. Then you just need a few strategies for developing your talk around them. The examiner will not be expecting a degree-level answer. They just want to know what you know about the topic – a few facts and your own thoughts, opinions and feelings. The content of your talk is not nearly as important as how you say it, that is, your fluency, grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. Be confident that you can deal with any topic because you can.

How did you learn about our organization/ university? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses, and how do you overcome them? Why did you choose your school? What motivates you? How do you believe you can contribute to our growth? Where do you see yourself in the next five years? Can you tell us why you think you're the best fit for this role?

Examples of in-depth questions include: Can you give an example of a time you applied your leadership skills at work? How do you work under pressure? How do you handle stress? Do you prefer working alone or with a team? Why? Tell us about a time you exceeded your expectations. Have you ever missed a deadline? Why and what was the result?
