You should say:

    • What the event was ?
    • How you prepared for it ?
    • Who helped you to organize it ?
    • And explain why you think it was a successful event ?

Sample Answer

I think celebrations provide us a great opportunity to spend some good quality time together with our loved ones in a busy world. Today, I would like to talk about one such joyful event, which I organised successfully. The event was my parents’ twenty-fifth marriage anniversary.

Since it was a silver jubilee for them, I decided to keep it more intimate rather than celebrating it on a huge scale with all the relatives and friends. The party included only me, my younger brother, and my parents. I started preparations for it a week before the big day by placing an order for the chocolate ruffle cake, as it is my mother’s favourite, along with some other snacks and soft drinks. Thereafter, I went to the nearest street market and shopped for some basic home decor items. I also purchased a beautiful red Kanchivaram sari from a famous South Indian store, which I lined with a simple gold chain and golden bangles, for my mother. While, for my father, I bought a simple red kurta with a Titan watch.

My younger brother helped me a lot with the decoration part. He adorned the room with the colourful LED lighting, put up some balloons and painted the room mauve. Furthermore, he placed an order for the food, which mainly consisted of everything my parents love to eat.

I believe it was a successful event because my parents got quite emotional and hugged me for putting up everything so well. My father was really happy, as he was not expecting something like this, so well-planned, and he really loved the gift as well. We clicked a lot of pictures together, and recalling the day still brings back a lot of good memories. So, overall this was the time when I organised a happy event successfully.

Speaking – Part 3 (Follow-up questions)
Here are some examples of follow-up questions that the examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to the cue card ‘Describe a time when you organised a happy event successfully.”

Q1. How can parents help children to be organised?
Parents can help children become organised from a very young age, provided they pay attention to their children. They can create a timetable for their children, which would help the child in having a more organised day, as each task will be assigned some fixed duration, thereby making it mandatory for the child to achieve his daily targets, not to mention that it would be contributing significantly to the overall development of the child.

Q2. Do people need others’ help when organising things?
I think it is more of an individual choice. Some people like to take charge of things on their own, rather than asking for help from others for the same. These are generally the perfectionists, as they want everything to be well organised. On the other hand, there are individuals who do not shy away from asking for help from others, as they may like to include everyone’s ideas and take opinions from everyone else so as to make the best out of it.

Sample Answer

I have been inspired by many people in my life due to their habits and ways of living life. There are many people in my life who have had exemplary conduct and principles for leading life. They have set a good example for me and also guided me onto the right path at all times. Among these people my paternal uncle’s contribution is unforgettable.

My uncle is an upstanding citizen who has led his life with honesty and gratitude. As a high-ranking army officer, he has always taken wise decisions pertaining to his official duties and as a family man. The basic values of humanity and the importance of education are always the crux of his teachings. He is about to retire from his job and leads a peaceful life with contentment and satisfaction.

From my childhood, he has given me his affection and mentorship with strictness. He gave me guidance every step of the way and taught me moral values through practical lessons and real-life examples. He has also helped me with my studies and helped me make important decisions in life.

Growing up, I learned a lot from his actions and from what he had to say. I admire and respect him the most and consider him to be my role model due to his uncompromised honesty and integrity. I wish to follow in his footsteps and have tried to imbibe all the values and the positivity that his personality exudes. I believe that everyone should have a role model who teaches them the art of living.

Sample Answer

I not only enjoy eating food of different varieties but also love cooking and baking. Therefore, I keep trying my hand at preparing different types of cuisines at home. I am basically a very creative person, and I’ve always had a knack for cooking. Cooking is actually the art of imagination and presentation. The food we cook should not be only tasty but also presentable.

Everyone in my family is fond of cakes and cookies. Since it’s my brother’s birthday next week, I have planned to bake a chocolate truffle cake for the occasion. I really want to surprise him by making his favourite cake, and that too on his birthday. In order to learn the process and methods of cake-making, I have not only watched YouTube videos but have also attended some short-term cooking classes as well.

The recipe for making a chocolate truffle cake is very simple. In a large saucepan, I will cook the milk, butter and chocolate over low heat until melted. I will remove the liquid mixture from the heat and will keep it aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, I will preheat the oven to 350°. Then, I will mix all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda and salt into the liquid mixture in a large bowl. After that, I will blend the mixture until it becomes smooth. Then, the batter will be transferred to a round and greased baking pan and will be baked for about 30 minutes in the oven.

Once it is baked, I will spread ganache over the top and sides of the cake. I hope, with this small gesture of mine, I will be able to bring a smile to my brother’s face.

Sample Answer

Man is a highly social being, and we as people build up a web of relationships as we go. One such relation is friendship, wherein like-minded people come together, and make life better by adding joy in each other’s lives. Friends always make life better by celebrating each other’s joys, supporting in the sorrows, and helping in the times of our need.

I have a lot of good friends that I have come to be with, in this beautiful journey of life. I have helped them and they have done the same for me on numerous occasions. One of these friends, Manan, stands out in my memory and in my heart as well. A very amazing person to spend time with, he has always looked out for me. Actually, I met him after joining college, and soon we started sharing an apartment as well. He always understood my financial issues and acted accordingly. After a month, I decided to apply for a job to sustain my expenses.

I consulted Manan, and he urged me to apply in a few companies, in addition to supporting my decision. I applied for the jobs and got an interview call as well. After preparing for it, on the day of the interview, I went to him and asked him to lend me formal clothes for the interview. He was gracious enough to comply and gave me his best formal suit to wear. I was actually humbled at his gesture and thanked him profusely. I then gave the interview, and I was cleared for the job. It was a great help on Manan’s part, and he was happy when I credited him for this success.
