IELTS Cue Card With Answer - Describe a teacher from your past who you remember
| Describe a teacher from your past who you remember. You should say: What class the teacher taught you?And explain why do you like him. |
Possible answer the above speaking cue card:
Throughout my academic life, I found and came in to contact with several teachers whom I'll never forget mostly because of their personality and quality teaching. Such a teacher who I remember clearly was Mr. Aurther who taught us History at our 8th grade. I was then about 13-14 years old and was in class Eight. He had an admiring personality and a different way of teaching. He was very punctual and honest and inspired us to be so. He never pressurized us on studying and always told us stories on different historical events. In his classes we never felt bored. He had a gift of making the lessons interesting and attracting students to his stories. Much of the history I now know is because of him.My major was Science and I have not studied history that much but whatever interest I grew on history was mostly his contribution. I can still recall the stories I heard from him. He never misbehaved with any of his students and all of his students admired him very much. I learned later on that he was an honest and benevolent man in his personal life. I still remember him because he was a good man, a wise mentor and a nice person who taught us things that we still remember.
How to answer this cue card topic?
Mention that the teacher was very influential and you consider him/ her to be one of the greatest teachers you have ever got. Start by saying the teacher’s name and the class and subject s/he taught. Mention your age at the time when s/he taught you and give details of his/her personality, way of teaching and other details. Not necessarily the teacher has to be an academic teacher; s/he can be a private tutor as well for this cue card.Two important aspects you must cleverly cover in this cue card: describing the attractive characteristics and good qualities of this teacher and then your reason for remembering his/her. Since the cue card asks you to describe a teacher from your past, so not talk about a teacher who still teaches you in any way.
