Describe an interesting video you watched
The cue card
Describe an interesting video you watched.
How to answer it
Pick a video that taught you something you can describe, not one that was merely entertaining — it gives you content for both the card and the Part 3 questions about learning. Say what you did differently afterwards, which turns a description into a small story with a consequence.
What moves the band
- Media lexis: I came across it, it popped up in my feed, a walkthrough, it went viral, well put together.
- For the books-versus-video question, separate types of learning: procedures suit video, arguments suit text.
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.
- What types of videos are popular?
- Are videos or books better for learning?
- What skills can people learn from videos?
- How do viewing preferences differ by age?
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.
