IELTS Speaking Recent Cue Card Question:

Describe something you have always wanted to buy.

  • What it is
  • For how long you have wanted it
  • Why do you like it

Do you think you will buy it someday?

Sample Answer:

I would like to talk about the thing I always wanted to purchase and it is nothing but a car. Since childhood, it has been my dream to own a car which I can drive on my way to and from office. It’s been more than 20 years now since the time I dreamt of purchasing a luxurious car and I am quite close to the time when I would be able to buy it.

I like cars a lot for many reasons. Firstly, the style and model of cars attract me a lot. I have been very passionate about finding the special features for one or the other latest model and I like to read magazines to search for this kind of information. Secondly, I think I would become independent using my private vehicle, without the need of a driver or without waiting to be in a long queue for boarding a bus. I really feel that I can afford to buy it now since I am financially capable now to purchase a car. Being employed and having good salary, I am planning to buy a royal car next month which has been my dream since childhood and then I can proudly say “My dream has come true”.
