It's this vibrant marketplace that's teeming with life, energy, and an endless array of goods. I would like to thank you for the time and chance you have given me to talk about this shopping centre where I love to go and do shopping.<br /><br />I first heard about Central Market from a friend who raved about its unique charm and eclectic offerings. She described it as a shopper's paradise, where you can find anything from fresh produce and local delicacies to handcrafted souvenirs and trendy fashion items. Intrigued by her description, I decided to check it out for myself, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!<br /><br />Now, whenever I visit Central Market, I usually go with a group of friends who share my passion for shopping and exploring. We make a day out of it, starting with a leisurely stroll through the colourful stalls, and browsing through the myriad of products on display. From quirky trinkets and vintage clothing to artisanal crafts and antique treasures, there's always something new and exciting to discover.<br /><br />What I love most about shopping at Central Market is the vibrant atmosphere and the sense of community. The bustling crowds, the lively chatter of vendors, and the tantalizing smells wafting from the food stalls create an electrifying ambience that's impossible to resist. Plus, the prices are usually quite reasonable, so you can indulge in a bit of retail therapy without breaking the bank.<br /><br />But perhaps the best part of shopping at Central Market is the thrill of finding hidden gems and unique items that you won't find anywhere else. Whether it's a hand-painted piece of artwork or a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery, there's always a sense of excitement when you stumble upon something truly special.<br /><br />I believe Central Market is more than just a place to shop – it's an experience. The vibrant atmosphere, diverse offerings, and sense of community make it a destination worth visiting time and time again.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-5225531741047528912024-03-09T16:24:00.004+06:002024-03-09T16:24:31.556+06:00When you disagreed with a decision someone made<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">575</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a time when you disagreed with a decision someone made.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>when it was</li><li>what decision was made</li><li>who made this decision</li></ul><div><b>and explain why you disagreed with this decision.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

Despite being a reasonably agreeable person, I disagreed in these situations and sometimes I expressed my disagreement while other times I remained silent. For this topic, here I will talk about one memorable instance when I disagreed with a decision as a member of a student organization in college. It was about a year ago when our group was planning an event to raise funds for a charitable cause.<br /><br />The decision in question was made by the president of the organization, who proposed allocating a significant portion of the event budget to hire a high-profile guest speaker. While the idea was to attract more attendees and garner media attention, I strongly disagreed with this allocation.<br /><br />The decision to spend a large portion of the budget on a guest speaker seemed impractical to me, given our limited resources and the primary goal of raising funds for charity. I believed that the funds would be better utilized for other aspects of the event, such as venue rental, marketing materials, and catering, which would directly contribute to the success of the fundraiser.<br /><br />Despite expressing my concerns to the president and providing alternative suggestions, including inviting local influencers or organizing engaging activities, the decision remained unchanged. This led to a difference of opinion between us regarding the best approach to achieve our fundraising goals.<br /><br />My disagreement stemmed from a belief in prioritizing practicality and maximizing the impact of our resources to achieve our objectives effectively. While I respected the president's perspective and intentions behind the decision, I felt strongly about advocating for what I believed was the most prudent and strategic course of action for the organization.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-2775722600512292302024-01-18T16:13:00.003+06:002024-01-18T16:13:17.550+06:00Describe your favourite toy in your childhood<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">574</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe your favourite toy in your childhood.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>what it was</li><li>who gave it to you</li><li>how often you played with it in your childhood</li></ul><div><b>and explain why it was your favourite toy in your childhood.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

Cocoa was a gift from my grandmother on my fifth birthday. This soft and cuddly brown bear quickly became my constant companion and a source of comfort. I am so grateful for this interesting topic that allows me to refresh some of my favourite childhood memories.<br /><br />My grandmother, who had a knack for choosing thoughtful gifts, presented Cocoa to me with a beaming smile. From that moment, Cocoa became inseparable from my daily adventures. I played with Cocoa every day, and our activities ranged from having tea parties to embarking on imaginary quests together. Whether I was feeling happy, sad, or simply in need of a friend, Cocoa was always there, offering a soft embrace and a listening ear.<br /><br />The bond between Cocoa and me was profound. I took Cocoa on family trips, nestled it beside me during bedtime, and even shared my secrets with this plush confidant. The worn-out patches and slightly faded fur were testaments to the countless hours of joy and companionship Cocoa brought into my childhood.<br /><br />Cocoa wasn't just a toy; it was a source of solace and a symbol of the care and affection my grandmother poured into selecting meaningful gifts. The simple act of hugging Cocoa could turn a gloomy day into a brighter one. This teddy bear became a cherished part of my early years, embodying the innocence and comfort that define the magic of childhood.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-10628324095199280742023-12-26T13:50:00.003+06:002023-12-26T13:50:39.312+06:00Describe a place where you can go to learn something<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">573</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a place where you can go to learn something.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>what type of place it is</li><li>how you know about this place</li><li>what kind of people go there and what they can learn</li></ul><div><b>and explain why you like to go to this place.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

Well, one such place where we can broaden our knowledge is the local community library that we have. I believe that libraries are enriching hubs accessible to all, fostering a culture of learning and discovery, and for this topic, I would like to talk about it.<br /><br />I became aware of this place during my early schooling when teachers encouraged us to explore beyond textbooks. Libraries were the treasure troves where information, stories, and knowledge resided, offering a haven for learning. Over time, I realized the vast resources they held for both academic and personal growth. I also read some of the best novels in this library.<br /><br />People from various backgrounds visit the library, ranging from students seeking reference materials for their studies to avid readers looking for literary adventures. Visitors can immerse themselves in an array of genres, from history and science to fiction and poetry. These places offer a spectrum of learning opportunities, facilitating access to books, journals, digital resources, and educational programs catering to diverse interests and ages.<br /><br />The reason I appreciate libraries immensely is their role in fostering intellectual curiosity and lifelong learning. They provide a quiet and conducive environment, allowing individuals to delve into a world of information at their own pace. Whether researching, studying, or reading for pleasure, libraries offer a sanctuary for self-improvement and personal development. Moreover, the sense of community and shared knowledge within these spaces fosters a culture of continual learning, making it an ideal spot for anyone seeking to expand their horizons and acquire new knowledge.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-53325164717530828092023-10-31T13:03:00.003+06:002023-12-26T14:02:43.491+06:00An advertisement that you think is informative and useful<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">572</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe an advertisement that you think is informative and useful for people.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>where type of advertisement it is</li><li>what product or service it advertises</li><li>what it shows</li></ul><div><b>and explain why you think this advertisement is informative and useful for people.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

It's a televised advertisement for a brand of water purifiers known as "PureFlow."<br /><br />The advertisement is a typical 60-second television commercial that typically airs during prime time. It advertises water purifiers, which are essential devices for ensuring safe and clean drinking water, especially in areas with water quality concerns.<br /><br />The advertisement features a family living in a serene countryside setting, where access to clean drinking water is often a challenge. It starts by showcasing their daily life, focusing on how they collect water from a nearby well and use it for various purposes, such as cooking, drinking, and washing. This initial portrayal highlights a common situation in many parts of the world, where the availability of clean drinking water is a significant concern.<br /><br />The turning point of the advertisement comes when the family gets introduced to the "PureFlow" water purifier. The device is compact, user-friendly, and equipped with advanced filtration technology. The family starts using it to treat the well water. The audience can see how the purifier efficiently removes contaminants, making the water safe and clean.<br /><br />What makes this advertisement informative and useful is its focus on an everyday issue that affects countless people worldwide – the need for clean drinking water. It not only raises awareness about water quality concerns but also offers a practical solution through the "PureFlow" purifier. By visually demonstrating the transformation of unsafe well water into clean, safe, and drinkable water, it effectively educates the viewers about the product's benefits.<br /><br />In a world where access to clean water remains a pressing issue, an advertisement like this is not just a marketing tool; it's a public service announcement. It educates and informs people about a solution that can improve their quality of life. Such advertisements are valuable for society, as they tackle real issues and offer practical, accessible solutions. This is why I consider this particular advertisement highly informative and useful for people.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-53384219471975516082023-10-29T14:40:00.004+06:002023-10-29T14:41:39.721+06:00When you were forced to stay home for a few days<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">571</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a time when you were forced to stay home for a few days.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>when it was</li><li>why you had to stay home for a few days</li><li>what you did during these days</li></ul><div><b>and explain how you felt about it.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

It was about two years ago, during the winter season, and the experience left a lasting impression on me. I would share this experience with you now.<br /><br />The reason I had to stay home was a severe bout of the flu. It started with a high fever, persistent cough, and an overall feeling of weakness. My doctor advised me to rest and recover at home to avoid spreading the illness and to allow my body to heal.<br /><br />Being confined to my home for several days was initially frustrating. I was an active person who enjoyed being outdoors and participating in various activities. However, I had no choice but to stay in bed, resting and taking the prescribed medications.<br /><br />During those days, I found myself with an unexpected abundance of free time. I decided to use this time productively. I began reading books that I had always meant to get to but never had the time for. It was a great opportunity to catch up on novels, especially some classics that I hadn't read since high school. Additionally, I used this period to learn some new cooking skills. I experimented with different recipes and cuisines, which turned out to be quite enjoyable.<br /><br />Despite my initial frustration, the experience of staying home for those few days was not entirely negative. It gave me the chance to slow down, reflect on my health, and invest my time in self-improvement and learning new skills. It taught me the importance of self-care and taking the time to recharge, even if it means staying home.<br /><br />In the end, while I wouldn't want to go through a similar illness again, the time spent at home did have its silver lining, and I emerged from it with a newfound appreciation for self-care and personal development.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-86161300352806841312023-10-28T01:20:00.000+06:002023-10-28T01:20:56.407+06:00A person who has given you some important advice<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">570</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a person who has given you some important advice.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>who this person was </li><li>what type of advice he/she gave you</li><li>when it was</li></ul><div><b>and explain why you think it was some important advice for you.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

For it, I would like to talk about a person who provided me with some crucial advice, and he is my high school teacher, Mr. Johnson. He was not only an exceptional teacher but also a mentor who genuinely cared about his students' future. The valuable advice he gave me was about setting clear career goals.<br /><br />It was during my junior year in high school when students typically faced immense pressure to make decisions about their career paths. I was confused and overwhelmed, unsure of which direction to take. Mr. Johnson noticed my dilemma and asked me to stay after class one day.<br /><br />He sat down with me and shared his own life experiences, particularly how he had faced similar uncertainties when he was my age. He explained the importance of setting clear and achievable goals, both short-term and long-term, to provide direction and motivation in life. He emphasized that having goals would help me make the right choices in my academic and personal life.<br /><br />I found this advice incredibly significant because it transformed my perspective on planning my future. Up until that point, I had never given much thought to setting specific goals. Mr. Johnson's advice made me realize that without a clear vision and purpose, I could drift aimlessly and make decisions that might not align with my aspirations.<br /><br />Thanks to his guidance, I started setting goals for different aspects of my life, from academics to personal development. Over the years, I have seen the benefits of this advice. It has helped me stay focused on my studies, make informed decisions, and work persistently toward my objectives. I've accomplished many of my goals and am now pursuing a fulfilling career, all of which I attribute to Mr. Johnson's wise advice.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-60767225659396594892023-10-27T12:02:00.000+06:002023-10-28T01:11:16.538+06:00When you were made responsible for something you did not do<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">569</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a time when you were made responsible for something you did not do.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>when it was</li><li>why you think you were made responsible for that</li><li>what was your initial reaction</li></ul><div><b>and explain how you feel about it now.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

It was a fairly large-scale project, and the team was under tremendous pressure to meet deadlines.<br /><br />One day, a critical bug was discovered in the software we were developing, and it had the potential to delay the project significantly. The bug was traced back to a specific module of the software, and it was supposed to be handled by another team in the company, not my team. However, the senior management misunderstood the situation and mistakenly held my team and me accountable for it.<br /><br />I believe the reason I was made responsible for this issue was mainly a result of the management's confusion and the urgency of the situation. There was also some miscommunication in the department regarding which team was handling which aspect of the project. Unfortunately, my team became the target of this mix-up.<br /><br />My initial reaction was a mixture of shock, frustration, and a bit of disbelief. I couldn't understand why me and my team were being held accountable for something we had no involvement with. I immediately arranged a meeting with the senior management to clarify the situation. It was crucial to provide them with evidence and facts to demonstrate that our team was not responsible for the bug and that it fell under the scope of another team's work.<br /><br />Looking back, I feel a sense of accomplishment in how me and my team handled the situation. We remained composed, professional, and focused on the facts. The incident also reinforced the importance of maintaining clarity in our roles and responsibilities to prevent such misunderstandings. It served as a learning experience that improved my ability to deal with similar challenges in my professional life, emphasizing the importance of open communication, teamwork, and staying calm under pressure.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-85942702813152716362023-10-22T11:51:00.015+06:002023-10-26T04:06:06.153+06:00Describe a foreign TV programme you have watched<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">568</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a foreign TV programme you have watched.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>what TV programme or show it was</li><li>when you watched it</li><li>why you decided to watch it</li></ul><div><b>and explain how much you enjoyed it.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

In fact it happened a couple of months ago, and the memories are still fresh! I discovered this foreign TV programme when I was exploring international content on a streaming platform called Netflix.<br /><br />I decided to watch "Moving" primarily out of curiosity about Korean television and to experience a different cultural perspective. The premise of the show, which revolves around individuals or families relocating to new homes and the associated emotional experiences, sounded intriguing. I was also interested in observing the differences in lifestyle and home design between South Korea and my own country.<br /><br />As I delved into the series, I found myself captivated by the unique storytelling and the genuine emotions of the participants. "Moving to" was not just about the logistics of relocating; it delved deep into the lives of the people moving and the emotional transitions they underwent. The show's ability to portray the universal sentiments tied to moving, such as nostalgia, hope, and the excitement of a new beginning, resonated with me.<br /><br />The episodes I watched were both heartwarming and insightful. They showcased the strength of human connections and the significance of home and family. It was heartening to see how complete strangers could come together to help each other during the moving process. This particular episode I watched featured a family moving to a new home, and their journey was filled with challenges and heartfelt moments. I appreciated how the show highlighted the value of community and mutual support.<br /><br />In terms of enjoyment, I must say that I genuinely liked "Moving to". It provided me with a fresh perspective on a seemingly mundane topic like moving homes, and I was impressed by its ability to convey deep, heartfelt stories in a compelling way. The show's relatability and the emotions it evoked made it a worthwhile and enjoyable watch.<div><br /></div><div><b><span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Sample Answer 2:</span></b><br />One of the foreign TV programs I've had the pleasure of watching is the renowned Japanese animation series called "Naruto." This anime series has left a significant impact on fans worldwide and continues to have a massive fan following even years after its conclusion.<br /><br />I first encountered "Naruto" during my teenage years when I was exploring different anime series. Its popularity and positive reviews piqued my interest, and I decided to give it a try. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an epic and emotional journey.<br /><br />The series follows the adventures of Naruto Uzumaki, a young and aspiring ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village, who seeks recognition and dreams of becoming the village's Hokage, the most prestigious ninja title. However, what sets "Naruto" apart from other anime series is its deep and intricate storytelling, rich character development, and the exploration of themes such as friendship, perseverance, and the desire for acceptance.<br /><br />I watched "Naruto" over a span of several months, as it comprises many episodes and offers both action-packed sequences and emotionally charged moments. The show brilliantly combines elements of humor, drama, and intense battles. It dives into the complex pasts and motivations of various characters, revealing the layers of their personalities and how their experiences shape their actions.<br /><br />One of the highlights of "Naruto" is its well-crafted characters. Naruto, with his unwavering determination and loyalty, is an inspirational protagonist. Sasuke Uchiha's internal struggle adds depth to the story, while Sakura Haruno's development from a less confident ninja to a formidable one is admirable. The ensemble of supporting characters further enriches the narrative and keeps viewers engaged.<br /><br />What I enjoyed most about "Naruto" was its overarching theme of perseverance in the face of adversity. The characters' struggles, their growth, and the importance of camaraderie and mentorship left a lasting impression on me. The storytelling is not just about ninja battles but about the inner battles each character faces. The "Naruto" series is a testament to the global appeal of Japanese animation and storytelling. I appreciated the creativity and dedication that went into creating such a compelling world with well-rounded characters. </div>Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-6663913407264623362023-10-06T08:28:00.007+06:002023-10-26T03:34:28.684+06:00A movie you would like to watch with your family<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">567</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a film/movie you would like to watch with your family.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>what film/movie it is</li><li>how you know about it</li><li>when and where you want to watch it with your family</li></ul><div><b>and explain why you want to watch it with your family.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

I'd like to tell you about an experience when I had the honor of representing my college's debate team in an inter-college debate competition a couple of years ago.<br /><br />This event took place during my second year at college. I was an active member of the college's debate club, so when the opportunity arose to participate in this prestigious competition, I was both excited and a little nervous. The competition was held at a renowned university, and it attracted teams from various colleges in the region.<br /><br />I was part of a three-member team, and we had been preparing for this competition for several weeks. We chose a contemporary and rather controversial topic - the impact of social media on society. As the lead speaker for our team, I felt a weight of responsibility to present our arguments convincingly.<br /><br />The competition was a two-day event. On the first day, I remember walking into the debating chamber, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. There was a large audience and a panel of experienced judges, which only added to the pressure. But as soon as I began speaking and presenting our team's perspective, my initial nervousness started to dissipate. It was like a surge of adrenaline and passion. My teammates and I were in sync, building upon each other's arguments, and I was quite pleased with our performance.<br /><br />The second day was the most crucial as it was the finals, and our team had made it. The atmosphere was even more intense. We debated against a team from another well-known college, and I could see the determination in my teammates' eyes. The debate was fierce and thought-provoking. We argued our points passionately and defended our position with conviction.<br /><br />When the judges announced the results, I was overjoyed to hear that our team had won. It was a moment of immense pride and a testament to our hard work and preparation. I felt a great sense of accomplishment for myself and for my college. Representing the debate team in that competition had been a significant responsibility, and I was thrilled to have contributed to our victory.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-38474418094632917202023-09-22T02:57:00.000+06:002023-10-26T03:06:54.900+06:00When you went outside of your country for the first time<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">565</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe your experience when you went outside of your country for the first time.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>when it was</li><li>what country you visited</li><li>why you went outside of your country on this occasion</li></ul><div><b>and explain how you felt about it.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

It was back in the summer of 2017 when I had just turned 20 years old. I travelled to the vibrant and diverse country of Thailand, and I feel really excited to be able to talk about this experience here.<br /><br />The reason for my journey was both an educational opportunity and a chance to explore a different culture. I was selected to participate in a university-sponsored exchange programme, which allowed me to spend a semester studying at a university in Thailand. This was a fantastic chance to immerse myself in a new environment, gain academic exposure, and understand a culture entirely different from my own.<br /><br />As I embarked on this journey, I felt a mix of emotions - excitement, anticipation, and a bit of anxiety. It was my first time leaving my home country, and I was going to be far away from my family and friends for an extended period. The idea of living in a foreign land, adapting to a new culture, and studying in a language I wasn't entirely fluent in was both exhilarating and intimidating.<br /><br />However, the moment I landed in Thailand, my apprehensions started to fade away. The people I met were incredibly welcoming, and I quickly realized that I had made the right decision. The sights, sounds, and smells of a new country overwhelmed my senses. I found the Thai culture, with its rich history and delicious cuisine, absolutely fascinating.<br /><br />Over time, my fears transformed into curiosity and a sense of adventure. I began to explore the city, make new friends from various parts of the world, and engage in experiences I never thought I'd have. Travelling throughout Thailand, I saw stunning landscapes, ancient temples, and bustling markets.<br /><br />As I understand now, my first international trip was an unforgettable experience. It allowed me to broaden my horizons, meet incredible people, and develop a deep appreciation for diversity. It instilled in me a love for travel and a curiosity about the world that still drives me to explore new places.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-13187944234470350052023-09-14T08:29:00.011+06:002023-09-14T08:29:00.144+06:00When you met someone who you became good friends with<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">564</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a time when you met someone who you became good friends with.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>who you met</li><li>when and where you met this person</li><li>what you thought about this person when you first met</li></ul><div><b>and explain why you think you became good friends with this person.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

It reminds me of one memorable occasion when I met someone who later became one of my closest friends during my freshman year at university. Her name is Sarah, and I met her at a campus orientation event that took place in the first week of our classes.<br /><br />I vividly recall the day - it was a sunny September afternoon, and the campus was bustling with enthusiastic students eager to make new friends. I had just moved to a new city for my studies, and I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. As I entered the orientation hall, I noticed Sarah sitting alone, looking a bit nervous, like me. When I first saw Sarah, I was struck by her warm and approachable demeanour. She had a friendly smile that instantly put me at ease. I decided to strike up a conversation with her, thinking that we were both new and in the same boat.<br /><br />As we began talking, I discovered that we had many common interests. We both loved literature, enjoyed hiking in the outdoors, and had a passion for trying out new cuisines. Our conversation flowed effortlessly, and it felt like we had known each other for much longer than just a few minutes.<br /><br />Throughout that first year of university, Sarah and I became inseparable. We attended classes together, explored the city on weekends, and even joined the same extracurricular clubs. Our bond deepened as we shared our dreams, fears, and aspirations. We supported each other through the ups and downs of university life, from challenging assignments to personal milestones.<br /><br />What made us good friends was our genuine connection and the trust we developed. Sarah was always there to lend a listening ear, offer advice, or simply share a laugh when things got tough. Our friendship was built on mutual respect, kindness, and a sense of camaraderie that made every moment we spent together enjoyable.<div><br />In retrospect, I believe our friendship blossomed because we were both open to making new connections, and we recognized the value of having a true friend during a significant transitional phase in our lives. Meeting Sarah was serendipitous, but our decision to nurture our friendship was a conscious choice.</div>Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-22245536419501100562023-09-11T11:16:00.005+06:002023-09-11T11:22:19.656+06:00Describe a tourist attraction in your country that you would recommend<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">563</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a tourist attraction in your country that you would recommend.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>what the tourist attraction is</li><li>where in your country this tourist attraction is </li><li>what visitors can see and do at this tourist attraction</li></ul><div><b>and explain why you would recommend this tourist attraction.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

The Taj Mahal is not only an architectural marvel but also a symbol of eternal love and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<br /><br />Visitors to the Taj Mahal can witness the breathtaking beauty of this white marble mausoleum, which was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The monument is renowned for its intricate Mughal architecture, featuring symmetrical designs, intricate carvings, and stunning inlays of semi-precious stones. The most iconic view of the Taj Mahal is from the front, where its white-domed structure reflects the serene waters of the Yamuna River.<br /><br />While at the Taj Mahal, visitors can explore its beautifully landscaped gardens, which are meticulously maintained and add to the overall charm of the monument. Inside the mausoleum, you can find the intricately designed cenotaphs of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, which are adorned with calligraphy and delicate floral patterns. Additionally, the Taj Mahal's history and architecture make it a great place for photography, and you'll often see both amateur and professional photographers capturing its beauty from various angles.<br /><br />The reason I recommend visiting the Taj Mahal is not only because of its architectural grandeur but also because of the romantic and historical significance it holds. It's a symbol of undying love and devotion, and the story behind its construction adds an emotional depth that is palpable when you stand before it. Furthermore, the Taj Mahal is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India, showcasing the artistic and architectural achievements of the Mughal Empire. It's a place where you can immerse yourself in history, culture, and art all at once.<div><br /><br /><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Model Answer 2:</span></b><br />Thank you very much for this excellent topic. One of the most remarkable tourist attractions in Vietnam, that I wholeheartedly recommend, is the ancient town of Hoi An. It is located in Quang Nam Province in Vietnam. Hoi An is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a gem that beautifully reflects the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam.<br /><br />Hoi An is a town frozen in time, with its well-preserved architecture, narrow winding streets, and centuries-old buildings. What makes Hoi An truly special is its unique blend of cultures, resulting from centuries of trading with various nations, including China, Japan, and European countries.<br /><br />Visitors to Hoi An have the opportunity to immerse themselves in its timeless beauty. The town is famous for its stunning lantern-lit streets that come alive at night, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere. Walking through the ancient streets, you'll encounter charming tea houses, traditional tailor shops, and local artisans practising their crafts. One of the must-visit attractions in Hoi An is the Japanese Covered Bridge, an iconic 18th-century wooden bridge that serves as a symbol of the town. Another remarkable site is the old merchant houses, such as the Tan Ky House, which showcases a fascinating fusion of architectural styles. Hoi An is also renowned for its delectable cuisine. The town's culinary scene is a delightful blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese flavours.<br /><br />What sets Hoi An apart is its cultural significance. It's a place where you can witness living traditions like the monthly Full Moon Lantern Festival, where the entire town is adorned with colourful lanterns, and locals release lanterns into the Thu Bon River, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.<br /><br />As someone from Vietnam, I recommend visiting Hoi An because it embodies the essence of our culture, history, and tradition. It's a place where you can experience the beauty of a bygone era while enjoying the warmth and hospitality of the local people.</div>Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-39468525718144342312023-08-27T12:11:00.007+06:002023-08-27T12:21:34.853+06:00When you enjoyed visiting a member of your family<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">562</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a time when you enjoyed visiting a member of your family in their home.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>who you visited and where they lived</li><li>why you made this visit</li><li>what happened during this visit</li></ul><div><b>and explain what you enjoyed about this visit.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

My aunt, who lives in a quaint suburban neighbourhood, had invited me over to spend a few days with her and her family. I had always enjoyed spending time with them, and this visit turned out to be particularly enjoyable.<br /><br />My aunt's home is nestled in a peaceful and lush green area, providing a refreshing change from the cityscape where I lived. The purpose of my visit was simply to catch up, relax, and escape the usual routine. I was excited to spend quality time with my cousin, who is like a close friend to me.<br /><br />During my stay, we engaged in various activities. We cooked together, sharing family recipes and learning new ones. We played board games, went for walks in the nearby park, and even had a movie night with homemade popcorn. What made the visit truly enjoyable was the warmth and genuine hospitality my aunt's family extended towards me. We had heartfelt conversations, shared laughter, and bonded over shared experiences.<br /><br />One aspect of the visit that I particularly enjoyed was the feeling of being welcomed and embraced by family. It was evident that my aunt and her family were genuinely happy to have me around, and that made me feel valued and loved.

The purpose of my visit was to congratulate her on her marriage and also to get to know her new family and surroundings. I was looking forward to spending time with her, meeting her husband, and experiencing the warmth of their new life together.<br /><br />During the visit, I was warmly welcomed by her husband and his family.

It was heartening to see how well my sister had adjusted to her new life and how seamlessly she had merged into her husband's family. We spent the evening sharing stories, reminiscing about our childhood, and getting to know her new in-laws.<br /><br />What made this visit truly special was witnessing my sister's happiness in her new role as a wife and daughter-in-law. It was evident that she was thriving in her new environment, and her new family embraced her with open arms. As the evening passed, I felt a strong sense of joy and contentment, knowing that my sister was in a loving and caring family.<br /><br />The visit taught me the significance of adapting to new phases of life and embracing change with an open heart.

I've had this photograph for around three years now, and it captures a moment of pure joy and togetherness. The photo features my family during a vacation we took to a serene beach.<br /><br />In the picture, we're all standing on the sandy shore, with the vast ocean in the background. The sun is setting, casting a warm, golden glow on us. I can see my parents, my younger sister, and me, all wearing big smiles on our faces. My sister and I are holding hands, laughing as the waves gently lap at our feet. The image is full of vibrant colours, with the sky painted in shades of orange and pink, and the water reflecting the serene beauty of the moment.<br /><br />I received this photograph as a gift from my parents. They had taken the time to frame it beautifully, knowing how much that vacation meant to all of us. It's not just a photograph; it's a memory frozen in time, capturing a moment of pure happiness and togetherness.<br /><br />This photo holds immense significance for me. It's a reminder of the importance of spending quality time with family, and cherishing moments of laughter and connection. Whenever I look at it, I am transported back to that serene beach, feeling the sand between my toes, hearing the sound of the waves, and basking in the warmth of my loved ones' company. This picture serves as a constant source of comfort and inspiration, reminding me of the value of creating beautiful memories with the people I care about the most.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-17352164862853355542023-08-24T11:44:00.001+06:002023-08-24T11:46:18.637+06:00Describe some food or drink that you learned to prepare<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">560</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe some food or drink that you learned to prepare.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>what food or drink you learned to prepare</li><li>when and where you learned to prepare this</li><li>how you learned to prepare this</li></ul><div><b>and explain how you felt about learning to prepare this food or drink.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

She has always been an amazing cook, and I saw this as an opportunity to learn one of her cherished recipes.<br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;">How you learned to prepare this: </span><br />My grandmother patiently guided me through the entire process. We started by making the pizza dough from scratch, mixing flour, yeast, water, and a pinch of love. She showed me the technique to knead the dough until it was smooth and elastic. After that, she taught me how to prepare the tomato sauce, spread it over the rolled-out dough, and arrange the toppings – everything from veggies to different types of cheese. We then baked the pizza in her traditional oven, watching it transform into a mouthwatering creation.<br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;">And explain how you felt about learning to prepare this food or drink: </span><br />Learning to prepare homemade pizza was a delightful experience. Not only did I get to spend quality time with my grandmother, but I also gained a valuable skill that allows me to enjoy a delicious, homemade meal whenever I want. As we worked together, her passion for cooking and her nurturing guidance made the process not just about making a dish, but also about preserving cherished family traditions.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-78491128013629278922023-08-08T13:24:00.010+06:002023-08-08T13:24:58.383+06:00Describe a time you were sleepy but had to stay awake<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">559</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a time you were sleepy but had to stay awake.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li>when it was</li><li>where you were</li><li>why you had to stay awake even though you were sleepy</li></ul><div><b>and explain how you felt about it.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

One memorable occasion when I had to do something in a hurry was when I had to catch a flight to attend an important family event. The situation demanded quick and efficient action to ensure I reached the airport on time and didn't miss the flight. This experience taught me the importance of time management and the ability to handle pressure effectively.<br /><br />I had to pack my bags, arrange transportation, and reach the airport within a limited timeframe. Additionally, I had to ensure I had all the necessary travel documents, such as my passport and tickets, ready to avoid any last-minute complications.<br /><br />The reason behind the urgency was that the family event was of great significance, and I didn't want to miss the opportunity to be present and support my loved ones. The event was time-bound, and any delay in reaching my destination would have meant missing out on important moments and valuable time with family members.<br /><br />Considering the urgency of the situation, I managed to prioritize my tasks and handle them efficiently. I quickly packed my essentials, double-checked my travel documents, and arranged for a taxi to take me to the airport. I kept a close eye on the time and ensured I didn't waste any precious minutes. Thanks to my preparation and swift actions, I reached the airport well before the boarding time and successfully boarded the flight.<br /><br />While the rush and pressure of doing things in a hurry can be stressful, I felt a sense of determination and focus during this experience. I recognized the importance of the event and understood that time was of the essence. Although there was a bit of anxiety initially, I channelled that energy into ensuring I completed the tasks efficiently. In the end, the satisfaction of making it to the airport on time and being able to attend the family event overshadowed the initial stress.Razibul Hassanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04897492291660524334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560068531873430309.post-64800862100408159762023-05-28T12:26:00.013+06:002023-05-28T12:26:00.144+06:00Describe a monument that you like<p><span style="color: #444444;">IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card</span><span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">553</span></b></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">with Model Answer:</span></p><h3><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Describe a monument (e.g., a statue or sculpture) that you like.</span></h3><b>You should say:</b><br /><ul><li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0e101a; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">what this monument is</span></li><li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">where this monument is</span></li><li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">what it looks like</span></li></ul><div><b>and explain why you like this monument.</b></div><div><i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="color: #666666;">[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.
