IELTS Speaking Cue Card
Describe a short journey you often make that you don’t like. Please say

• Where do you go?
• How often do you do it?
• Why don’t you like it?

Sample Answer:
Every Sunday, I like to go to a nearby temple, Golden Temple which is located in the district of Amritsar. Whenever I get free time during weekend, I like to visit here because this is one of the sacred holy places of worshiping the almighty.

The tour to Golden Temple always gives me a peace of mind and refreshes my thoughts like anything. I always visit this historical place along with my family but sometimes with my close friends. By looking at the whitish temple in the centre of pond with golden plating at the top is a mesmerising experience for me. Apart from this, sitting inside the temple and listening to sacred hymns relieves me from all the stresses and worries in my life, while the food served at the community hall inside the temple brings satisfaction to my mind.

I like a lot to visit this place of historical importance as it provides me immense inner happiness spiritually and psychologically that strengthens me from inside to face the hardships of life.
