    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.
