Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

 

•   Who is this person?
•   How did you first meet?
•   And explain why you think he/she is a good leader?

There are several people who I believe are born with incredible leadership qualities. A person who is confident, bold, and possesses quick decision-taking qualities can be termed a leader. One of my friends named Gaurav is a good leader and has all these qualities. He is my childhood buddy and has always excelled in every activity. In fact, he was the head boy of our school. He was quite straightforward and clear in representing his views and opinions. During our cultural event at school, we got into some mess and were extremely scared to put it forward to the school authority. Gaurav took the matter into his own hands, boldly shared the issue, and got it resolved. He has the ability to supervise the group efficiently without being unfair. Presently, he is serving at an MNC as a project leader, where he is leading a team of 150 employees. He started there as an operational executive, but seeing his hard work and efficient leadership skills, he got promoted. I feel proud to be his friend and wish to learn a lot from him.

Describe a successful business you know .

You should say:

• Who this person is?

Sample Answer

Without a doubt, managing a business is a demanding endeavour . The upcoming ups and downs require patience and preparation. A very small percentage of people pursue careers in business. Zoravar , one of my friends, is a successful businessman. He was the one who would always think outside the box in our group. He, however, had always desired to launch his own company, even if the rest of us were training for government employment in order to have a stable future. He was full of business ideas, none of which we would consider plausible. But he never wavered in his self-belief or his resolve to manage a profitable company. Last year I met him after a long time at a friend’s wedding, he acted just like he always did. Zoravar also made appearances on well-known podcasts. He currently owns multiple companies. My favourite project of his is his well-known clothing line. Both the pricing and the quality are really excellent.

Sample Answer

Since childhood, I had an immense interest in aeronautical science. Information related to space would always fascinate me. I guess, I inherited this interest from my grandfather who would always share stories related to planets and stars. He used to work at the space research team in India. My grandfather has narrated to me the numerous benefits of sky gazing. According to him, if anyone is searching for peace, calm, and a sense of purpose during this period of immense chaos, sky gazing proves to be the best alternative as it helps to our minds and rejuvenate our spirits. Apart from that, it makes us more compassionate towards others. I can easily recall many incidents when I would observe stars with my grandfather. But today, I will be mentioning a time when I observe stars with my grandfather. But today, I will be mentioning a time when I observed the stars alone. It was in 2021, I used to work as an accountant in a company. I had a hectic day at work and was completely drained out. After having dinner I went straight to the terrace where I usually have a stroll. I plugged in earphones and tuned into my favorite song. While walking I was gazing at the sky. Meanwhile, I noticed a bright light falling from the sky, at first I thought it was just a light pole but I was wrong. Watching closely I realized it was a shooting star. Some say that shooting stars can fulfill a wish hence I quickly made a wish. I am not sure whether it is going to get fulfilled but still I did it. After spending an hour on the terrace I felt relaxed and more rejuvenated than before. I think sky gazing therapy is quite underrated if compared with its benefits. I have recommended this activity to my friends and colleagues to which I have recommended this activity to my friends and colleagues to which I have received a good respond.

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a historic place you know

• What kind of place it is?
• What does it look like?
• Where it is?
• And explain how the place is related to history

Sample Answer

Historic structures serve as a reminder of our rich history and former splendour. Since I was little, I have always been fascinated by history. I used to read a lot and study the history of ancient times. I never pass up the opportunity to tour historical sites. It’s an intriguing encounter. I paid my aunt, who resides in Delhi, a visit last year. I had the chance to explore the Red Fort, one of India’s most popular tourist destinations, there. It is among the world’s seven wonders. It’s a massive red-painted palace. It was our first visit there. The enormous gate that welcomed us was a stunning work of art. Many notable historical buildings remain, including Hira Mahal, Mumtaz Mahal, Rang Mahal, Meena Bazaar, and many more, despite the fact that the majority of buildings are either shattered or severely damaged. With a long history, Meena Bazaar is a well regarded destination for retrophiliac and antiquarian enthusiasts. In the past, it was mostly exclusive to women—royal ladies and noblemen’s wives, to start. It used to happen exclusively on designated days of the week or at significant occasions. Nowadays, Meena Bazar is held every day from the afternoon till the evening, which has somewhat modified the situation. In addition to the massive garden’s doubled attractiveness due to its abundance of seasonal flowers and plants, I also saw a few peacocks. Overall, the Red Fort is a symbol of great Mughal architecture and prowess in the past.
