My Hobbies- IELTS Cue Card

Sample Answer

I, as a person, have a propensity for a plethora of things. Sometimes, I feel I am drawn towards writing, while other times, I try my hands at beat-boxing. However, one thing that I can safely say as my hobby would be painting and sketching. I can’t recollect the time when I developed this predilection for painting, however, it is something that soothes me each time. Whenever I get some spare time or when I have nothing important to do, grabbing a brush and painting my imagination is what I do.

I prefer not to be accompanied by anyone while I am drawing and painting. I love it when it is done idly as I feel one can be more absorbed and beguiled at the moment when one is alone. Diving deep into my imagination and getting it translated into the form of colors is one of the most mesmerizing things for me. Although I don’t have a niche in painting as most painters do, I prefer painting the sceneries and nature’s beauty. You can term it as a respectful rendition of the splendor and marvelousness of nature.

To begin with my painting, I, first of all, close my eyes and land in the imagination of the most recent landscape that might have enraptured my senses. Thereafter, I tend to experience it and live that moment as though I am there for real. Finally, I start painting the same with earnest zeal and verve.
