IELTS Speaking cue card from India, with a model answer This cue card has been seen in a recent IELTS exam in India. Since we know that topics tend to repeat all over the world, here is how you might respond if you get this question in the test: Speaking test, Part 2 (Cue Card) Describe something that helps you concentrate. You should say - what it is - when you do it - how it helps you - and explain why you need it to concentrate. Answer Well, if I think about it, there is really only one thing that helps me concentrate and that is listening to music. Now that might seem counterintuitive, since most people think that music is distracting, but for me, personally, it helps me to drown out the busyness and noise that usually surrounds me at work and with my kids at home. I discovered this trick when I was in high school, studying for my final exams. We had recently moved to a new house in the city center and this, coupled with the fact that I had two very rowdy younger brothers, meant that my home was filled with the constant barrage of unending noise from both inside and outside. It was nearly impossible to concentrate on my studies, so I would put on my headphones and listen to some soothing classical music to drown out the noise and calm me down. And I actually still use this method today whenever I have any sort of new material to go over for work or I have a project with a fast-approaching deadline. All in all, music helps me to settle down and focus on the tasks at hand. And perhaps another reason why this activity is so useful is that I become so subconsciously aware of the rhythm of the tune, that recalling it also helps me to remember the main ideas of whatever I was studying at the time. One of my all-time favorite pieces to listen to is Moonlight Sonata, which is one of Beethoven's most compelling compositions about unrequited love.
