IELTS Speaking Part 2: IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card
Describe a family member you would like to work with
: You should say
who this person is
what kind of person he or she is
whether you have worked together before
and explain why you would like to work with this person – more than with other members of your family
: Sample Answer
I am quite proud to have a family where I have got a talented brother, a renowned architect uncle, a genius sister who is an aspiring programmer and a father who is my hero in life. So it would be fairly tough to select a single person from my family with whom I would like to work with. Well, among my family members I would like to work with my brother David, I presume
David is senior to me by 3 years and is a really brilliant young person I have ever met. He is working in a big architect company where he designs modern houses and building. The main reason I would choose him to work with is because of my interest in architectural design and my brother’s being a great mentor
He is a gifted and hard working person who would someday become a great architect for sure. He is amiable and friendly. He has always been my protector and the great teacher in my life. The list would be countless if I want to mention the things I have learned from him. He is a tall and handsome person and a voracious reader who always reads or works. I sometimes think in amazement how a single person could be so skilled and well-informed in so many arenas. Mathematics, physics, sports, history, geography, art, chess, astronomy, literature… you name it and he is a master in it
Certainly, I have worked with him before, but that was not something professional, but kind of personal projects. He and I built a remote controlled boat when I was in the school and I learned how determination can bring success from the experience I gathered from this project. We failed several times to build the motorboat out of some ordinary tools and equipment we had at home. At a time I got depressed but he was so determined that I could not quite. Apart from that, we did many other things together like participating in charity and voluntary work in our community, building a flying saucer toy, to solve numerous math problems etc
Well, the main reason I would like to work with his is because of his patience and my interest in his profession. He never loses his concentration and temper. No matter how stupid and wrong I am, he will always guide me to the right direction. He is talented and I will definitely learn new approaches to solve a problem. He is a great teacher for me and I am sure there is none with whom I would be as close as I would be with him. Another important reason I would like to work with him is because of his work area. As I said he is a promising architect and I would like to know more about the type of works he does
