Describe a live performance you enjoyed watching - IELTS Cue Card

You should say:

• Who performed in it
• What kind of performance it was
• When you watched it
• And explain why you enjoyed

Who performed in it:

Last year, I attended a live concert by Arijit Singh, one of India’s most popular playback singers. The event took place in Jaipur, and it was part of his “India Tour 2024.”

What kind of performance it was:

It was a musical concert where Arijit performed a mix of romantic and soulful songs, including some of his biggest Bollywood hits like Tum Hi Ho and Channa Mereya. The atmosphere was electric — thousands of people singing along, waving flashlights, and cheering.

When you watched it:

I watched this performance in February 2024. It was held in the evening and lasted for almost three hours, but it felt like time flew by because of how engaging the show was.

And explain why you enjoyed it:

I enjoyed the concert because it was not just about the music — it was about the emotion and connection he created with the audience. Arijit’s live vocals were even better than the studio versions, and the lighting effects and stage setup added to the magic. It was the first time I had seen such a grand live performance, and it left me inspired and full of positive energy.

Follow Up Questions

1. What kind of party have you had so far?

I’ve attended and hosted several parties, but the most memorable ones are birthday celebrations and farewell parties during college. I enjoy gatherings where there’s music, dance, and close friends rather than large, formal events.

2. Do you think it is hard for people to perform in front of their friends?

Yes, for many people it can be challenging because they fear being judged or laughed at. However, performing in front of friends can also be more comfortable if the environment is supportive and encouraging.

3. Is it easy to invite your friends to attend your party or your performance?

Usually, yes. Most of my friends are enthusiastic about social events, so a simple message or group invitation is enough. However, it can be tricky to match everyone’s schedule, especially if the event is on a weekday.

4. Is it expensive to watch a live performance in your country?

It depends on the artist and the location. Big concerts or international shows can be quite expensive, but local theatre performances, stand-up comedy, or college fests are usually affordable for students and families.

5. Why do many people prefer to watch a live performance rather than watch it on TV?

People love the excitement and energy of being part of a live audience. The atmosphere, interaction, and emotions are much stronger in person than on a screen. It’s a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience that TV simply can’t replicate.
