IELTS Speaking Part 2: IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card.

Describe a typical day in your life when you were a child.

You should say:

  • what you did and ate
  • what sorts of game or sports you played
  • who looked after you

and explain what was most enjoyable of it.

[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:

As a child, my typical days were like that of most other children, who were attending an elementary school, except, of course, on the days when the weekend arrived because all I used to do during my weekend was to mostly sleep.

Anyway, my typical day started at around 7:00 am when I used to get ready to go to my school after freshening up and eating my breakfast. By the way, I really enjoyed having milk and cereal as my breakfast, but sometimes I had to eat just a plain vegetable sandwich with a glass of milk with it when there was no cereal. After arriving at my school, of course, I needed to attend classes and other school activities for a marathon 7 hours that included an hour of lunch break and 30 minutes of physical exercise, which, by the way, I never really liked. But I liked the tiffin, provided by my school, of boiled egg, potato chips and a banana or apple a lot during the lunch hour.

After finishing school, I straight returned to my home and had to take some rest, as was the rule, put forth by my mother, before going out to play with my friends. Sometimes, I used to play football with my friends, and I used to serve as their regular goalkeeper, at a playground next to my home. Sometimes, I used to ride my bicycle there also without going too far from my home as my mother would never approve of that. Later in the day, I sometimes used to watch some TV as well with my family.

The most enjoyable part of my day was walking to school with my friends as I could talk about a lot of things with them and make jokes. Another thing, which I really enjoyed, was buying my favourite ice-creams during the lunch break at my school and sharing them with my friends. Finally, I also enjoyed it a lot when my mother sometimes allowed me to watch my favourite movie before going to bed at night.


 

Model Answer 2:

Thank you Sir/Madam for this interesting topic. I spent my childhood in a beautiful suburb, and my childhood was exciting, magical and full of surprises. There was no trauma, anxiety or responsibilities and every moment, I was ready to explore the unknown and do something new and interesting.

I would like to talk about a typical day of my childhood when I was around 7 or 8 years old. I used to wake up very early and get ready for my school. I used to eat my breakfast at around 6.30 in the morning, and the milk, bread, banana and egg were the usual breakfast items. My mother prepared breakfast for the whole family. Then I rode with my dad on his motorbike every day to school. I played with my classmates before and after our classes. I mostly played football, chess, hide-and-seek and the merry-go-round with my classmates and friends.  

When I returned home at around 2.00 pm, it was the time for taking a shower and no matter how hard I tried to avoid it, my mother always made sure that I took my shower. For lunch, we ate what my mother cooked at home and she was an impressive cook who had an uncanny power of cooking delicious meals. Interestingly, I never wanted to take a nap after lunch and play instead, but my mother would not let me.

As I can recall, my mother mostly looked after me while my father tried to spend quality time with both of us when he was at home. He often helped me complete my homework, or played chess with me. I must be very lucky to have such passionate, caring and friendly parents who always sacrificed their interests to be with my side and to make us happy. I did not have any brother or sister and I always thought kids with a lot of siblings had more fun!

The afternoon was the most exciting time for me as I could do anything at that time. I often went outside to play with my friends. Sometimes we ran and shouted for no apparent reason. At night I spend a couple of hours to watch TV and then complete my homework. I usually went to bed at around 10.30 pm.

I would say everything in my childhood was exhilarating. However, the natural beauty around our neighbourhood, my parents, unbound freedom to play and good friends were something truly special and I still miss those days.


 

Your readiness to talk about this topic would enable you to talk about the following topics:

1.  Describe a day in your childhood.
2.  Describe something interesting you remember doing in your childhood.
3.  Describe how you spent your childhood.
4.  Describe a happy moment in your life.
