Model Answers and follow up questions to describe a line that you remember from a poem or song IELTS cue card:
Model Answer 1:
What is it? and What poem is it from?
Well, in my childhood I learnt many poems and heard many songs. Every time I listen these I recall those days and I would like to talk about the poem Twinkle Twinkle little star which is my all time favourite and I heard it for the very first time when I started my school.
As we know young kids enjoy rhymes a lot, so our school teacher used to make us sing these rhymes all day long. She taught us some hand momend also and I used to look very cute moving my finger as stars are twinklin.
How did you know about it?
I used to keep on singing this rhyme all day long and my parents also often make me sing for guests especially. In those days we had no air conditioner and we used to sleep on terrace under the open sky and before sleeping my ‘PT mother used to tell me about the twinkling stars and used to sing this poem as a lullaby to put me to sleep. In fact, I remember my voice clarity was way superior to other kids in the class that’s why, I war chosen by my teacher to sing this rhyme in the annual function.
How do you feel about it?
I was wearing a fancy dress and I was dressed up like a star where and I also received my first prize for my performance. I am still keeping this small trophy than I received in my study section and I often recall the childhood memories associated with this particular poem.
Model Answer 2:
Introduction
I listen to songs on my phone whenever I am traveling.
In fact, my song choices have changed so much over the years.
What is it?
But there is one song and one particular line from that song that I can never forget.
The line goes like this – ‘One day you will leave this world behind, so live a life that others will remember.’
What poem is it from?
It is from the song ‘The NIGHTS’ by Avcii.
I love listening to the whole song, just for this one line.
I don’t really remember how I first came across this song, but it was about two-three years ago.
How did you know about it?
I think I might have heard it in a cafe or a music channel on the TV.
Whenever I am feeling low or don’t feel like studying, I listen to the song for motivation.
The song just energizes me and makes me work even harder.
But the lyrics also have a darker meaning.
The singer Avcii committed suicide at a very young age about two years ago.
I remember the news came as a huge shock to me.
When I searched online, I came to know, Avcii was going through depression.
But one day, when I was listening to this song, I realized how Avcii’s death really gave life to the lyrics.
His body did leave this Earth, but people will never forget him.
People will always remember him through his songs.
He has immortalized his memory through his meaningful song lyrics.
How do you feel about it?
I also really want to do something for my family, my society and my country.
So that people also remember me after I leave this world.
