Band 9.0 Sample Answer Ideas.
Â
• There are a lot of situations when ingenuity has helped me tackle difficult situations.
• A few months, I had gone to Jammu for an examination.
• But, because of the fog, my train back home got cancelled.
• So, I decided to travel back by bus.
• The bus dropped me at my city’s bus station at about 2 AM.
• I had told my parents that I would be coming by bus, but because I had left my flashlight on, on my phone, my phone battery had died.
• So, I couldn’t call my parents to pick me up when I reached the bus station.
• And because of fog, my parents also couldn’t estimate when the bus would actually reach my home city.
• So, I was forced to walk back alone at night.
• At this time, I saw some strangers walking towards me.
• I felt that their intentions were not right, and I was really worried.
• At that moment, I used my imagination and took out the phone, and started talking loudly on the phone.
• I knew that my phone was dead, but they didn’t know that the phone was dead.
• As they came closer, I started saying that I am just around the corner.
• As they heard this, they moved back, and I used this opportunity to run a nearby 24/7 store.
• Once inside, I borrowed the phone from the sales clerk and called my parents to pick me up.
• The whole time my heart was beating very loudly.
• It was a very scary situation.
• On seeing my father and mother, I finally took a huge sigh of relief.
• My father told me that he was really proud of my presence of mind and a lot of people told me that they wouldn’t have been able to think on their feet like I did.
IELTS Speaking part 3 Follow Up Questions.
Here are some follow up questions you may be asked during part 3 IELTS Speaking exam by the IELTS examiner related to 1st cue card:
“Describe a time when you needed to use your imagination”
1. Do you think adults can have lots of imagination?
I don’t think imagination depends upon age. Both children and adults can imagine things. The only thing is that children are not restricted by real-world knowledge in their imagination.
So, children can sometimes imagine completely impossible things.
2. Do you think imagination is necessary for scientists?
I think all scientific discoveries are about looking at something from a new or different perspective.
So, imagination is certainly important for scientists. Many would have seen an apple fall from a tree before Newton, but he was the first one to relate it to a force.
3. What kind of jobs need imagination?
I think the biggest field with needs imagination is science. Then, another field in which I think is being a fantasy author. A fantasy author basically puts down his imagination on a piece of paper.
I think some of the famous fantasy authors like Tolkien or JK Rowling are some of the people with an endless imagination.
4. What subjects are helpful for people’s imagination?
I think literature can be very helpful to develop imagination. I remember reading Alice in Wonderland was so exciting.
It was my first time reading a fantasy novel and I just couldn’t put it down. After reading each chapter, I used to think about what would happen next, and that in turn was nothing but exercising my imagination.
