Describe a famous person you would like to meet
The cue card
Describe a famous person you would like to meet.
How to answer it
Choose someone whose work you can describe, then make the card about the question you would ask them — that is what turns a biography recital into a two-minute answer with a shape. Say why you want to meet them rather than simply admire them from a distance.
What moves the band
- Sustain the conditional: I'd want to ask, I imagine they'd be, I'd probably be too nervous to.
- The Part 3 questions are about fame as a system; separate being famous from being good at something.
Part 3 questions reported with it
Part 3 follows the topic of the cue card, so these are the discussion questions the same candidates were asked next.
- Why do some children become famous?
- Why do people want to be famous?
- What should young people do with fame?
- Is talent necessary for celebrity?
These are candidate recalls. These are questions reported by test-takers after their exams, not official or leaked IELTS material. Wording varies by test version, location and memory. Use them for timed practice — never as a prediction of what you will be asked.
