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 on 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.

Cue Card

CUE CARD -DESCRIBE A JOB YOU WOULD NOT LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE

April 17, 2024 Ayushi Rawat

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

DESCRIBE A JOB YOU WOULD NOT LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE

You should say:

What is the job?
How you heard about it?
Why you don’t want to do it?
How you feel about the job?

Sample Answer

There are extremely few jobs available due to increased competition and growing employment crisis. No task is simple to complete; all tasks demand arduous work.

While some individuals have a dream job, others may not prioritize that. One such job role that I would never do is customer executive. But I find it too challenging. It appears simple, but I don’t think so. These experts handle a variety of tasks, such as taking phone calls, responding to inquiries from clients, and helping with problems that clients may be having. They seem to be under a lot of pressure to respond quickly, have nice conversations, show empathy, and figure out the right answers when they need them. Most importantly, most employers seek out workers who can work nights because of the nature of the jobs.

Another gap is that working at night becomes risky, especially for girls. The day is more exhausting when headphones are worn. A cousin of mine works as a customer service representative. One of my cousins works up to 10 or 11 hours a day as a customer service executive. Sundays are not his off days. They actually don’t get many holidays in a given year. He reveals that they have daily goals to meet and that their pay will be withheld if they don’t. One cannot ultimately look up to this profession for future growth because only a small number of employees in this sector get promotions. I would prefer working as a web developer.

Q2. Some people will lose their jobs because of technology, how to deal with it?

Answer. Since we are the ones creating the technology, I don’t think we can blame it. If someone feels that technology has replaced them in their line of work, they should enhance their skill set and investigate alternative career platforms.

Q3. Will you settle down in another country?

Answer. Yes, I will, given that I land a decent job in a developed nation. I would seize the chance with both hands.

I know a lot of people who are gregarious and can talk to people all day long. Among them is Naina, my cousin. She enjoys interacting with others and is an extrovert. Naina is the younger daughter of my maternal aunt; she is eleven years old and enrolled in the eighth grade. Naina has curly short hair, a gorgeous grin, and a fair complexion.

What I really like about her are her adorable, plump hands. She’s always talking, so everyone calls her a chatterbox. Naina can speak for hours on end about anything. She is an animal lover, particularly of dogs. I once witnessed her outside her home bandaging an injured dog.

Naina is a generous girl who always help people in need. She has a happy disposition that lifts everyone’s spirits. She enjoys viewing movies, and when she gives me the tale, I get the impression that I’ve watched the film. Naina can put a smile on anyone’s face and make any circumstance seem less stressful. She aspires to be a teacher and is an excellent student. She is an outgoing person who enjoys making new friends. Her parents and instructors have reprimanded her for this practice, but nothing has changed. When she’s around, nobody can get bored. She walks every morning since she is highly aware of her health. Her tendency to talk a lot has occasionally gotten her into a lot of trouble. I adore this adorable talkative person, therefore when she is silent, I sense a problem and find it bothersome.

I took it to my father after picking it up. He informed me that his grandfather purchased it, to store pickles, but it is now useless. I asked to keep it with me, and he granted my request. I had to clean it a lot because it was in the worst possible state. I succeeded after giving it succeeded after giving it multiple soap and water washes. The pot was a stunning specimen of old art, with its dark tone and finely painted designs.

My father looked at it for a long time and grinned when I showed it to him. He claimed it brought back memories of his granddad. In my room, I utilized it as a flower planter. The family’s collective gasp at the exquisite conversion of a shred into a gorgeous pot was shared by all. It’s my favourite pot out of all of them, and I still have it in my room. It’s really family oriented, thus I will always keep it in my room.
