Talk about a traditional object of your country
Sample Answer 1 - IELTS Speaking Test Cue Card
Introductory lines | In India, we say that culture and language change every 15-20 kilometers. While that is the extent of variety of differing lifestyles and traditions, the effect of everyone wanting to go global cannot be ignored. A lot of things have been modernized, the way we cook, eat, sleep, and do almost all our daily activities. The kind of music liked by the general public is different too. But maestros are doing their best to keep the culture alive and thriving. I’m going to talk about an instrument that used to bring an Indian touch to all kinds of music. |
What is it? | It is a stringed instrument called a sitar. Sitar has a spherical sound resonating body and a long neck with strings. The instrument makes a deep, reverberating sound that is now synonymous with Hindustani classical music. |
How is it made? | The body of a sitar is made out of dried pumpkins, and the neck and face from teakwood. The body and neck are mostly intricately carved on by the artisans who have generational talent. |
When did you first see it? | I first saw the object live in a semi-classical music concert that my parents took me to. I had seen it earlier on TV, but it didn’t strike me as an interesting instrument that my ears and heart would like listening to often. But being an audience to the concert took me by surprise. The sound of the sitar in sync with the drums and tabla was enchanting. |
Why do you like it? | Since then, I have been listening to the music of Pandit Ravi Shankar, Niladri Kumar and more. I now have a completely different outlook towards it. |
Ending | I now feel that traditional things are beautiful and have been created with numerous years of thought, trials and experiments. We shouldn’t just discard or disrespect them for their use being obsolete but bring them into newer contexts and situations. No wonder, the blend of old and new would be a positive change. |
