Describe an occasion when you wore your best clothes

IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card 441 with Model Answer:

Describe an occasion when you wore your best clothes.

You should say:
  • what occasion it was
  • what dresses you wore
  • who was present there
and explain why you wore your best clothes for the occasion.

[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]

Model Answer 1:
Well, this is such a tough topic for me to talk about, perhaps because I am more of a casual person when it comes to wearing dresses. In other words, I don’t necessarily wear fine clothes, thinking that they are the best clothes, whether I am going to a party or just going to a grocery shop nearby. But, still, today here, I am going to try really hard and remember an occasion when I actually thought that I wore my best clothes.

Anyway, the occasion, that best comes to my mind, on which I wore some of my best clothes was when I attended the marriage ceremony of my eldest cousin about 4 years ago from now. Back then, I was a young university student with the courage and heart to try all kinds of dresses, whether they were made in a local clothing store in my town or by a world-famous clothing brand. I used to wear them as long as they made me feel comfortable in them. One such attire, which I really liked, included a pair of dark navy blue jeans, a V-neck sweater (to use only during mild winter), and a light cream colour blazer.  Now, I didn’t really consider them as some of my best clothes until after one of my dear aunts (from my father’s side) had informed me about them, telling me that I looked really handsome in them.

By the way, there were many other guests at that wedding, including my other cousins of mine, my uncles and aunts, my parents, friends and colleagues of the groom, and a number of other people from my community. Needless to say, if I remember correctly, none of them was really wearing anything like my clothes. They were mostly wearing very formal suits and traditional dresses for wedding ceremonies.

So, I did wear the best clothes for that occasion, mainly because I wanted to make my cousin (the groom) happy on one of the most important days of his life. I wore these clothes also because they were very easy and comfortable to wear.


Sample Answer 2:
A couple of months ago, perhaps in early February, I had to attend a job interview at a multinational company. It was a significant occasion for me, and I wanted to make a positive impression on the interviewers. Therefore, I carefully selected my best clothes to ensure a professional and polished appearance. For this topic, I will share that event with you.

The occasion was a job interview at a prestigious multinational company for a position I had been aspiring to. Understanding the importance of dressing appropriately for such events, I decided to wear formal business attire. I wore a well-fitted navy blue suit with a matching blazer and trousers. Underneath, I chose a crisp white dress shirt and a subtle patterned tie. To complete the outfit, I wore polished black leather shoes and a matching belt.

During the interview, I was in the company of several interviewers who were members of the company's HR and management team. It was a panel interview, and they were all present to assess my qualifications, skills, and suitability for the position.

I wore my best clothes for the job interview to make a positive impression on the interviewers. First impressions are crucial in a professional setting, and I wanted to convey that I took the interview seriously and respected the company's culture and dress code. Dressing in my best attire also helped me boost my confidence, allowing me to feel more self-assured during the interview process.
