Celebrations are part of life that gives life to our lives. Special events become reunions, allowing far-flung family members to see each other in the context of celebrating their loved ones and bringing people together in unity, harmony, and peace. Fortunately, I have been part of numerous celebrations so today, I will be mentioning one such special event.

Just like everyone else, I eagerly wait to celebrate my birthday with my near and dear ones. My birthday happens on the 28th of January which makes January a special month for me. Last year my parents and friends arranged a surprise party for my birthday. After returning from work my friend called me to accompany her to the market. She picked me up from my place and we both left my home. Meanwhile, my parents and friends decorated the house with streamers and balloons. After spending two hours in the market we returned home. I rang the bell on my door and, to my surprise, no one came I tried to open the door, and it was unlocked. Once I opened it all my friends and family plunged from the floor and shouted out loud- “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! I was astounded.

My friends bought a special birthday cake for me. It was a chocolate cake, with juicy cherries on the top. They also presented me with a super sweet card with my photos on it. On top of that, my parents handed me a gift, I was so curious and wanted to open it right away and so I did inside it was my first laptop, I started crying in happiness as I had always wanted a laptop. Then finally we cut the cake at midnight marking the end of the day! My family and friends had given me the greatest surprise I could ever imagine. My last birthday was one of the most beautiful moments, and I will cherish it forever.

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a place where you go to do outdoor activities or play sports.

 

You should say:

• • Where is it located?
  • What activities can you do at this place?
  • How often do you go there?

Sample Answer 

Health is wealth, an adage that I follow religiously, especially in this contemporary period where health is often neglected due to increased workload and indolence. To keep up with my health, I perform various activities like swimming, yoga, and running; among these, my favourite is yoga. Doing yoga fills me with vitality and invigorates me both physically and mentally. I perform it in an open place that is 100 meters away from my home. One can perform numerous activities since it has a large space that can accommodate many people without any inconvenience, but since it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it doesn’t have many visitors; only those who live nearby are seen. The place has a calm and verdant environment. I regularly visit that place with my friends and sometimes even independently. The place is completely safe, as it is guarded by the army. The place is much cleaner than any other place in my town.

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a time when you helped a child.

 

You should say:

• • When it was?
  • How did you help him or her?
  • Why did you help him or her?

Sample Answer 

Helping others is one of the ways that people can feel satisfied and can help them meet new people and establish new connections. To be truthful, it is said that performing acts of kindness and helping others boosts one’s mood and makes one more upbeat. By God’s grace, I have been able to serve many individuals since I frequently enjoy helping others. Likewise, I would be sharing a time when I helped a young person. A few days ago, on the way home from work, I stopped by the nearby mall to do some window shopping. Due to the weekend, it was highly crowded. As I was looking over the recent additions, I noticed a young child who appeared perplexed and anxious. I continued to watch him in the hopes that his guardian would show up, but sadly, nobody did. In light of the widespread offences, I felt compelled to step in as I became concerned. I couldn’t leave the child there by himself. I asked about the circumstances and learned that he was with his parents and secretly went to the children’s area. Now that he has lost track of them, I took matters into my own hands and escorted him to the mall’s security office, where his parents were desperately waiting for their child, they were relieved to see their son. They praised me for my assistance and support, the best part was the hug that I welcomed from that naïve soul which made my day.

Well, I am someone who loves to play sports and so today, I would like to throw some light on one of my favorite places where I love to play. The place is a park named as Ramsay’s, and is just a minute’s distance away from my house. The park is quite big and includes amenities for all sorts of age groups.

I first went their with my father when I was ten years old, as the city was new for me. Ever since then, it became more of a daily ritual to go there and sometimes I used to go there alone as well, just so as to enjoy with friends which I made there itself. Every evening at 5.00, I used to go there and play myriad of games with my friends who were mostly residing in the colony. I used to play volleyball, hide and seek and many other sports. Since the park was huge, old people used to stroll around the park, meanwhile young boys play football and basketball.

To be very honest, I have very fond memories attached to my childhood days, and if I ever get a chance to relive those days, I would certainly do that without giving it a second thought. The park is still there and is quite popular among people as everyone goes there to enjoy and play sports.

Thus, this is a popular place for sports.
