Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a movie you watched recently and want to watch again.

You should say:

• • When did you see this movie?
  • With whom did you see this movie?
  • What is the movie about?
  • Why do you want to watch this movie again?

Sample Answer 

Well, I am a huge cinephile. So, I really treasure binge watching some good movies. But today I would like to talk about a movie which I can watch on loop. The name of the film is ‘Jab we met’, by Imtiaz Ali.  It is a romantic comedy, and the plot of the story is quite dramatic. The main cast includes Kareena Kapoor who plays the character of a jubilant girl from Punjab and Shahid Kapoor is the lead actor who acts as Aditya Kashyap, who comes from a well to do family with a giant buisness.

I first watched this movie when I was in tenth class on recommendation from one of my friends who herself was quite obsessed with the film. We watched it together at my home on my laptop. It was a two-and-a-half-hour-long movie and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The movie was more of a roller coaster of different emotions. I felt as if my emotional floodgates were wide open because the climax was very emotional.

The movie opens with a young man who is disappointed by the circumstances he goes through in his life, while he is angry at everyone around him, he accidentally meets a young jovial girl who is quite an extrovert and is not scared of anything. She believes that her life should be driven by the choices which she makes and not what others expect from her. She is a free-spirited person who believes in enjoying life to the fullest. Meanwhile Aditya’s personality is opposite than hers. He is melancholic and has a very twisted perception of life. In the movie both the characters are seen facing certain family issues and just like that from being two strangers to being each other’s soulmate they fought against all the odds and were married happily in the end.

I want to watch this movie again, as I really relate to the Geet’s character and the way in which she shows character development from being an impulsive person to being this grown-up thoughtful lady who is mature in her approach to the adversities of life. Therefore, I really enjoy watching this movie and watch it again and again.

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a time you had a disagreement with someone.

 

You should say:

• • Who was the person?
  • Why did you have the disagreement?
  • Was the issue resolved? If yes, how?

Sample Answer 

Disagreements are a part of our daily life especially when it comes to our loved ones. Today I would like to delve upon a situation when I had a huge disaccord with my bosom friend, Shefali.

I vividly remember one day on a fine Saturday evening, after having our dinner we were chilling out in my room with a bunch of our few other friends, when one of them suddenly started talking about Euthanasia. And I shared my opinion by disagreeing to the mercy killing of animals to which she was quite not satisfied with my answer, and we started arguing about it. Initially it was more like a discussion but as the time passed by it turned out to be a huge argument between both of us. It continued for at least forty-five minutes when others interrupted us and asked us to calm down and politely put forth our views.

Sadly, we did not arrive at any common conclusion and agreed to disagree since we both are strongly opinionated which is what also makes her a really close pal of mine. Sometimes our obstinate personalities clash whenever there is a heated argument going on, but at the end of the day we always find our way back to each other.

Overall, this was a time when I had a disagreement with my friend.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning	Sentence
Put forth	Propose or present	I do not shy away from putting forth my views.
Obstinate	Stubborn or headstrong	Riya is quite obstinate with her views on feminism.

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 time you had a disagreement with someone’.

Q1. If there is a disagreement, what do you do?
Well, I generally tend to avoid getting into arguments, especially with outsiders. Still if I do, I make sure that I do not get rude to the person, rather I leave the person with his opinion rather than trying to change it as everyone is entitled to have their own individual opinion.

Q2. Who do you think should teach children to respect- teachers or parents?
I firmly believe that it is not the responsibility of just any one of them, but rather both teachers and parents are accountable for a child’s overall behavior with every individual who is around him. Thus, schoolteachers should pay heed to their students and make sure to inculcate important values such as respecting not just elders but everyone. Moreover, parents should look after them.

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a story or novel that was particularly interesting to you.

 

You should say:

• • What story or novel was it?
  • Where did you come to know about it?
  • When did you read it?
  • And explain how you felt about it?

Sample Answer 

Well, I am a bibliophile and so I love reading books and novels. But today I would like to talk about a novel that I was really intrigued by, the book is a trilogy and consists of three parts. The immortals of Melua by Amish Tripathi is the first among the three and is my favorite.

I first came to know about it when I went to a book fare organized by my school, and I was so delighted to attend it. I strolled around different book stalls until my attention was shifted to one of the shops where they were selling books from my favorite genre, that is fictional mythology. After going through the prologue of several novels, I finally came across the one I could really relate to and purchased it.

I started reading it during my summer holidays when I was at my grandmother’s place. As I delved deeper into the story, I grew more and more inquisitive about the upcoming events. What amazed me the most were the characters of the novel who were so meticulously woven in the storyline that by the end of the story each character individually shows character development. Moreover, the story includes a plethora of elements, like plot twist and irony with a slight touch of humor to it. Additionally, the mythology is very carefully entwined and is not offensive to anyone who is reading it. I completed it in less than a week and was content with the story so much so that I read the remaining two parts of the trilogy as well.

So overall this was a novel that was particularly interesting to me.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning	Sentence
Entwined	Intertwine or weave	The baby lay entwined in his mother’s arms.
Prologue	Introduction	I was thrilled to read the novel as the prologue was very interesting.
Inquisitive	Curious	Shashi is an inquisitive person.
