Describe somebody who likes growing plants
The cue card
Describe somebody who likes growing plants.
How to answer it
The person matters less than what the gardening tells you about them — patience, routine, the pleasure of something slow. Describe the space itself, because a balcony with eleven pots is more vivid than 'a big garden', and say what they grow specifically.
What moves the band
- Gardening lexis: green fingers, a plot, seedlings, they're out there at first light, it's therapeutic.
- The farming follow-ups are broad; anchor them in your own country's situation rather than answering in general.
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 people grow their own vegetables?
- Should children learn about gardening?
- What is the role of farmers in society?
- How does traditional agriculture differ from modern farming?
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.
