Describe a song you like. 

You should say: 

• When did you first hear it?
• What kind of song is it? What is the song about? 

And explain why you like it? 

Answer – One song that I really enjoy listening to is 7 Years by Lukas Graham. I first heard this song in 2016 when it was extremely popular. At that time, many people were sharing it on social media, and one of my friends recommended it to me. 

It is a pop song, and it is known for its meaningful lyrics and emotional storytelling. Unlike many modern songs that focus mainly on catchy beats, this song tells a personal story and leaves a lasting impression on the listener.

It is about the different stages of life and how quickly time passes. The singer reflects on his childhood, teenage years, and adulthood, and even imagines his life when he becomes old. 

I particularly love its memorable lyrics. For example, the line, “Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,” instantly creates a sense of nostalgia and takes the listener back to childhood. It reminds me of the advice and values that parents pass on to their children. Another phrase that really stands out to me is, “Soon I’ll be sixty years old.” Throughout the song, he talks about his dreams, relationships, family, and the advice given to him by his parents. One of the main messages of the song is that life moves very fast, so people should cherish their loved ones and make the most of their time. 

Whenever I hear these lines, I reflect on my own life, future goals, and the importance of making meaningful memories with family and friends. I think these lyrics are one of the main reasons why the song feels so emotional and relatable to people of all ages. Another reason I admire this song is its realistic message. Even though it is based on the singer’s personal experiences, many of the feelings and concerns mentioned in the song are universal.

CUE CARD

Describe a healthy lifestyle habit you picked up recently.

You should say:

• What the habit is?
• How or why did you start it?
• How often do you do it?

And explain what positive changes you have noticed.

Answer: A healthy habit that I’ve picked up recently is mindfulness meditation. To be completely honest, I used to be quite sceptical about it because I thought meditation was simply about sitting quietly and doing nothing. However, about three months ago, I was going through a particularly stressful period at work. My schedule was packed with deadlines, meetings, and responsibilities, and I often felt mentally exhausted by the end of the day.

At that time, one of my close friends suggested that I should try a guided meditation app. Although I wasn’t convinced at first, I decided to give it a chance because I was looking for a way to manage my stress more effectively. To my surprise, I started noticing small improvements in my mental clarity and emotional balance within the first week of using the app.

I practise mindfulness meditation every morning right after I wake up. I usually spend around ten to fifteen minutes in a quiet corner of my room. During that time, I sit comfortably, close my eyes, and focus on my breathing. Whenever my mind starts to wander, I gently bring my attention back to the present moment.

Before I started meditating, I tended to react quickly to stressful situations and often felt overwhelmed by minor problems. Now, I feel much more patient and composed. It has helped me develop a calmer mindset, which allows me to handle challenges more effectively. For its positive effects, meditation has become a regular part of my daily routine. Although it hasn’t made my life less busy, it has definitely changed the way I deal with pressure. My concentration has improved, and I feel more energised throughout the day. I intend to continue this habit in the future.
