Sample Answer

Routine helps every individual to keep themselves organized and active all day long. What is more, a daily schedule aids in managing time effectively and being productive. I’m going to talk about a routine that I am very particular of. I start my day with a morning walk, followed by hitting the gym for around an hour and lastly meeting my friends.

There is a huge open garden in close vicinity of my house where I usually prefer to go for a morning walk, as it is in the midst, surrounded by tress all over and vibrant flowers that add to the aesthetic beauty of the place. Another reason is newly constructed walking tracks.

Besides this, on weekends I usually play games with my friends such as cricket and football and I do my exercise myself. However, once in a blue moon, one of my best friends who is also my neighbor accompanies me.

Furthermore, as I am extremely conscious about my health, I believe in maintaining a perfect balance in mental well-being as well as physical health. So, along with exercise, I tend to eat a balanced diet and socialize with my friends.

Undoubtedly, joyous events play a significant part in our lives, and one such memorable occasion was the celebration of my best friend’s birthday, which left a deep impression on my heart.

Together with my brother, we renovated our home with the magic of flowers and the shine of LED lights. Using my culinary abilities, I proceeded on the fabrication of a handmade cake with the essential assistance of my mother

Despite the weight of duty, the long-awaited day arrived, punctuated by the timely arrival of visitors. I created suspense by blindfolding my best friend and taking her into a nicely decorated drawing room. The reveal of the surprise delighted her, and the revelation that I had methodically planned the entire party astonished her, followed by tears of pleasure and a hug that spoke words. Guests’ compliments on the perfectly chosen décor and scrumptious meals gave another depth of fulfillment to the event.

As an ardent photographer, I took advantage of the chance to capture the wide range of feelings in several images, preserving the priceless moments. My best friend’s birthday was, in short, an exciting event that will never be forgotten. It is proof of the ability to turn obstacles into memorable occasions when one is committed and creative.

CUE CARD -Describe a house or an apartment you want to live in

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

You should say:

  • what it would look like?
  • where it would be located?
  • what facilities this would have?

And explain why you want to live there.

Sample Answer

Home is where the heart is. We all have dreams and things we want from our lives. It’s ok to be materialistic in life and there is no harm in having some luxuries. I was born and raised in a valley surrounded by hills so I’d like my dream house to be ideally located somewhere in between the hills.

The location of the house would be a semi-urban area as certain places in the hills are secluded and there are no facilities available for miles. I’d like my dream home to be located in Mussoorie, a small hill station resting on the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India.

The house would be a medium-sized bungalow with two floors, a front and a back garden and have all the modern-day amenities. The building will be designed as such that all the windows of the bungalow will overlook the Doon valley. The architecture will be of Victorian era as far as the layout is considered, the ground floor will have a spacious living room adjoining a modular kitchen and a bar which will have spirits from different parts of the earth. As the climate remains cool in Mussoorie throughout the year, the windows of the bungalow will be double-glazed to provide insulation to protect us in the harsh cold weather. The upper floor will have a master bedroom and two other bedrooms as well.

As I live in the city so I’ll use this house as a holiday home and to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Located in nature’s lap, it will be a perfect relaxation spot. Once in my latter years of life,  I’d like to retire and live a calm and peaceful life in a serene environment.

CUE CARD -Describe a piece of good news you received.

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a piece of good news you received

You should say:

  • What the news was?
  • When you heard about it?
  • Who gave you the news?

And explain how you felt about this piece of good news.

Sample Answer

In a world, full of many unfortunate and frustrating news, good news is really hard to come by. So, whenever there is any positive news, I always try to cherish it, and today, I’d like to share one such good news, that I heard about a couple of months ago.

The news was about getting a new job. It was certainly a piece of good news because my cousin was searching for a job for a considerable period after finishing university. But, unfortunately, even though, he was getting a lot of interview calls, no company was actually offering him a kind of job where he could fully utilize the skills he had learned. Of course, earlier he had got some job offers from here and there, but he didn’t exactly like those jobs because he was aiming for much better opportunities.

By the way, my cousin is a brilliant student, and he also topped the university, so it is only natural for him that he would aim for better opportunities. Anyway, after trying to find a better job for a long time, he got so frustrated that at some point, he thought of giving up searching for a job and starting some kind of business. But, as an elder sister, it was only me who was asking him to be a little more patient. So, when he got a job offer letter from one of the prestigious private companies in my country, he immediately decided to break this news to me as his priority to give me this news when I was away from town for an important piece of work.

I felt great about that news because it would finally give some hope in life to my beloved cousin. I also felt a little proud of myself because, after all, it was I who convinced him to wait and keep applying for more jobs when he had lost all hope and was impatient because of not getting a job.

Speaking -Part 3 (Follow up questions)

Here are some examples of follow up questions that examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3)related to cue card ‘DESCRIBE A PIECE OF GOOD NEWS YOU RECEIVED.’

Q1.How do people share good news? 

Ans. People share the good news through verbal communication, such as talking and phone calls and sometimes they prefer to communicate by sending text messages, emails, or social media posts, and also through in-person celebrations and gatherings.

Q2.Why do people share news on social media?

Ans. In my opinion, people use different social media platforms to share news because it allows them to easily and quickly share information with a large group, and also to receive instant feedback, reactions, and comments. Also, it allows them to stay connected with friends and family and also to share their experiences and thoughts with a wider audience.

 

Word Meaning Example
Frustrating Annoys you or makes you angry because you cannot do anything about the problems it causes. It has been a frustrating season for players.
Prestigious Very much respected and admired It’s one of the most prestigious names in theatre.
