IELTS Speaking Task: Cue Card Question With Sample Answer on Houses and Apartments

PART 2

Describe the room in your house/apartment which you like most.

You should say:

• where the room is
• what it is used for
• what it looks like
• and explain why you like this room the most.

I live in a large, old house, perhaps a little too spacious for myself. Everyone prefers to go to their separate rooms, the obvious exception of my room. It is secluded in a certain room of the house, and there is a reason for that.

With two sizable windows, the space is just the right size. It also has a bathroom right next to it. The balcony, which faces south, is painted basic white, while the inner walls are given a lovely winter blue color. My room appears a little too packed with a big bed, a medium-sized computer desk and chair, a giant sofa couch, a big closet/wardrobe, and a few chairs thrown around in no particular design. I primarily utilize this space to hang out with my buddies and play video games and watch movies with them. When I am in a serious study mode, I also use this area to get ready for crucial exams.

Finally, of course, I also store a tonne of other things in this room, most of which I never use but liked at different times in my life because they were just too wonderful to pass up. If one must know, among the hundred souvenir-type products are things like handcrafted guitars and little old table fans.

The reason this room is my favorite is that it provides the ideal escape for me when I'm not in the mood to deal with life's craziness. This room is my favorite because it gives me the opportunity to spend time with my friends while watching movies, playing video games, and chatting about topics that will help to distract us from the stress of our everyday life. Finally, having this room throughout the summer allows me to feel more connected to Mother Nature, especially in the mornings when I can listen to birds chirping outside my windows while still being comfortable in bed.

PART 3 

How can different room colors affect the way people feel?

I think the way that various room colors make individuals feel can vary from person to person. However, some color effects have recognizable, global connotations. For instance, the warm hues of a space, such as red, orange, and yellow, may elicit feelings in a person that range from warmth and comfort to wrath or hatred. 

On the other hand, a person may feel more at ease and tranquil in a space that uses cool colors like blue, purple, and green. But scientists have also discovered that these color impacts are only fleeting.

What is modern furniture like compared to older styles of furniture?

Modern furniture seems to use thinner woods, more vibrant textiles, and more contemporary materials like plastic, aluminum, and artificial wood made from wood chips and sawdust. Modern furniture generally takes up less room while offering more storage space because it is lighter in weight and less ostentatious.

On the other hand, older furniture designs are typically built of dense, hefty wood. These pieces of furniture typically feature intricate carving and have a more elegant, opulent, and luxurious appearance. In addition, traditional furniture is typically constructed by hand alone.

Do you think women are more interested than men in the way rooms are decorated? Why/Why not?

Because women are typically viewed as homemakers, they are more interested in decorating their rooms than males. In addition, women typically spend more time at home than males, depending on the culture, so it makes sense that they would give their rooms more attention. Last but not least, women in all of society are expected to always look good and presentable, and this is mirrored in their sense of home décor.

Which room do families usually spend the most time in? Why?

I'd say that the living room or the dining room is where families spend the majority of their time. Families spend their time together in the living room because it is typically created large to accommodate more people and contains a Television for everyone to enjoy. Speaking of the dining room, here is where everyone gathers to have their daily meals and, unlike other areas of the house, it naturally provides them with a fantastic opportunity to spend some quality time together before they go their separate ways or to their respective rooms.

How might the climate of an area affect the importance of indoor and outdoor living spaces? Why?

People rarely have trouble spending time indoors with their families and friends in areas with typical weather and where homes and buildings receive ample air and sunlight. In other words, if they have a lovely and cozy indoor living place, folks wouldn't really feel the need to walk outside to feel fresh in this kind of typical weather. The benefit of outdoor living spaces, on the other hand, is highly regarded in areas where the temperature is abnormal and the house doesn't get enough sunlight or fresh air because people typically want to spend time outside to feel rejuvenated and connect with Mother Nature.

What do you think living spaces will be like in the future? Why?

In the future, I believe that people will want to experience nature from the comfort of their homes, thus our living spaces will likely include more natural elements like real plants and water fountains. Additionally, it's probable that when not in use, our living areas won't have a TV or DVD player because they will likely be buried in the background to keep the space more minimalist. The employment of sophisticated sensor technologies to automatically unfurl our sofa couch when someone enters the living rooms and fold it back again when he or she leaves is also not something that would surprise us.
