Describe a line (or a few words) that you remember from a poem or song IELTS Cue Card




You should say:


  • What is it?
  • Which song or poem it is from
  • How you knew it
  • And explain how you feel about it


1. What is it?


The line I remember is: "You only need the light when it’s burning low."


2. Which song or poem it is from


This line is from the song "Let Her Go" by Passenger. It’s a heartfelt acoustic ballad that became quite popular worldwide.


3. How you knew it


I first heard this song on the radio a few years ago while traveling. Its soft melody caught my attention, but it was the lyrics that really stayed with me. I later looked up the full lyrics and even added it to my playlist.


4. And explain how you feel about it


This line really resonates with me because it captures a deep truth about human nature—we often don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone. It’s simple yet powerful, and every time I hear it, I’m reminded to value the people and moments in my life before they become memories.
