Describe a rule that you don't like.: IELTS Speaking Cue Card

Repetition of words like 'I don't like,' 'professor,' and 'class.'

Try to paraphrase and use synonyms to avoid repetition. For example, instead of repeating 'I don't like,' you could say 'I'm not fond of' or 'I'm not in favor of.'

Overuse of simple connectors like 'and' and 'so.'

Incorporate more varied connectors such as 'Moreover,' 'Additionally,' 'On the other hand,' to enhance the flow of ideas.

Lack of structured storytelling technique.

Consider organizing your response by starting with a past experience, explaining the current situation, and speculating about future implications. This will make your response more coherent and engaging.

Use of 'your' instead of 'my' when referring to personal experience.

Maintain consistency by using 'my' to keep the narrative personal and specific.

Try to use synonyms or paraphrase to avoid repetition. For example, instead of repeatedly saying 'traffic rule,' you could use 'traffic regulations' or 'driving laws.'

Overuse of simple connectors like 'and' and 'so.'

Utilize a variety of cohesive devices such as 'therefore,' 'however,' or 'moreover' to improve the flow of the response.

Lack of structured storytelling and coherence.

Organize the response by starting with an introduction, explaining the rule you dislike, providing reasons, and concluding with your overall feelings or suggestions for improvement.

Use of informal expressions like 'oh my god' and 'obviously my budget will go in toss.'

Replace informal expressions with more formal language suitable for the IELTS context, such as 'I find it frustrating' or 'my budget will be significantly affected.'

Use the correct tense and expression: 'my budget will be in jeopardy.'

The user has issues with subject-verb agreement and incorrect use of tenses, such as 'India is diverse country' and 'my school have many rules.'

Ensure correct subject-verb agreement by using 'a diverse country' and 'my school had many rules.' Consistent use of past tense is needed for past experiences.

Repetition of words, such as 'many many' and 'punished me.'

Avoid repetition by using synonyms or rephrasing. For example, 'numerous' instead of 'many many' and 'disciplined' instead of 'punished.'

Lack of coherence and use of cohesive devices.

Use cohesive devices like 'Firstly,' 'Moreover,' and 'As a result,' to structure the narrative and improve flow.

Confusion in sentence structure, such as 'I forget my where to I cut and tie.'

Clarify ideas by restructuring sentences, e.g., 'I forgot to wear my tie and cut my hair.'

There are several grammatical errors, such as 'ST and C students are qualified in lower marks' which should be 'ST and C students qualify with lower marks.'

Ensure subject-verb agreement and proper preposition use. For example, 'students qualify with lower marks' instead of 'students are qualified in lower marks.'

The sentence 'It should be end and make a rule that defined all are same' is grammatically incorrect.

Use proper verb forms and structure. It should be 'It should end, and a rule should be made to define all as equal.'

Avoid repetition by using synonyms or rephrasing. For example, 'It needs to be abolished' or 'It should be concluded.'

Improve coherence by saying 'some leaders have used it for votes, turning it into vote bank politics.'
