Cue Card Sample Answer:

Gifts play an important role in our lives. Today, I’m going to talk about a present which I gave to my cousin. He works as a marketing executive in a multinational company. Recently, he was promoted to the head of the sales department. To celebrate his achievement, he threw a party and warmly invited me to his house. As per the traditions and customs of our society, I decided to buy a present for him as a token of my warm wishes. For this, I visited a nearby mall but due to the inadequate collection I couldn’t find the best suitable item.

Finally, I found a multi-brand store nearby and I looked for my choice there. Within no time, the salesman showed me an eye-catching set of cufflinks, tie and a pocket square with an attractive packing. That was exactly what I wanted, so I finalized it immediately and I requested the shopkeeper to wrap the same in a decorative wrapping paper. On the eve of the party, I presented it to my cousin. To my surprise, he liked it so much that he wore it on the party night. This gift was unique for several reasons. Firstly, the amount of time and energy I spent in purchasing it. Secondly, it served the purpose and everyone praised for its appealing color and design. Not to mention, my cousin was looking outstanding with the tie because it was a perfect match with his well-designed black suit.
