CUE CARD -DESCRIBE A PERSON WHO LIKES TO TALK A LOT

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card) DESCRIBE A PERSON WHO LIKES TO TALK A LOT

You should say:

  • Who this person is?
  • How do you know him/her?
  • What he/she likes to talk about?
  • And explain how you feel about this person?
Sample Answer

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.

Here are some examples of follow up questions that examiner may ask during your speaking (part 3) related to cue card “Describe a person who likes to talk a lot.”

Q1. In your opinion, what makes a conversation enjoyable?

Answer. The most interesting conversations aren’t about news, or politics, or sports: they are about emotions. Listening to the other person’s opinion and sharing your views. The feeling of carefree exchange of information. Mutually sharing things that are potentially enriching.

Q2. How do you usually respond when someone talks a lot during a conversation?

Answer. I occasionally find it difficult to interrupt or voice my own opinions when someone is talking too much. In certain situations, I could find it difficult to find opportunities to add to the conversation, but I might still nod or occasionally offer affirmations to show that I’m present.

Answer. Of course it is important to be a good listener, I believe in order to be a good speaker one has to be a good listener. It makes it possible for people to interact more effectively, value differences in viewpoints, and support peaceful relationships.

Disposition Nature Shika’s disposition is to always think negatively.

    • Where and when it took place
Sample Answer 

Childhood is the time when we create memories. There are many memorable events from
my childhood. One of those is a trip to Bhadraj temple. The place was located in the western region of Mussoorie. It was a quaint temple. I visited the place with my parents when I was 12 years old. I vividly remember we reached the destination after a long, hard journey and we hiked a gigantic mountain. we were all fatigued; however, the breathtaking view from the apex of the mountain was worth it. The snow-covered peaks of the great Himalayan range were visible from there. The temple was made out of pure white marble, situated just in the cradle of mother nature, and was a symbol of purity and calmness. Fortunately, the weather conditions became favourable and we experienced snowfall for the first time. My parents and I tasted the essence of authentic garhwali food which included chains and dubuk. We tried to capture as many mesmerising views as we could with our digital camera. The trip was the most memorable event from my childhood because I spent quality time with my parents and created lots of memories

CUE CARD – Describe a time when you observed the stars.

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a time when you observed the stars.

 

You should say:

    • What did you observe?
    • Who told you about them?
    • What impressed you the most?
Sample Answer 
Since my childhood, I have been fond of exploring new places and things especially the solar system, planets, constellations and orions. . I still remember once my grandmother and I were on the terrace and making our beds; and just out of curiousity, I asked her about my late grandpa. I questioned her where he would be or whether he knows that I am grown up now. She smiled and said your grandpa is still up there and he has become a star. Actually, it was a pole star that my grandma was referring to. Because I was a science student, I was way too skeptical but considering her feelings, I kept on listening to her. It’s not just about the legends but I have always wondered that these stars are way too far that even light takes millions of years to reach out to us. In school, I studied about Big Bang Theory and how the life commenced afterwards. It would be really fascinating if I could ever look beyond our galaxy and see if live exists on the rest of the stars too!

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 when you observed the stars’.

Q1. Have you ever watched a movie on planets?

Well, I am a Sci-Fi fan and I have binged tens of movies like Star wars,Gravity, Interstellar which based on stars or parallel universe. In fact, there is one such movie Martian that really changed my perspective and actually showed me there is always a silver line. I mean this guy was left accidentally by the fellow astronauts on the Mars alone. The movie is all about how he survives with the adverse weather or how he grows food there. I think it’s a worth to watch.

Q2. Do you feel students should study about stars?

Why not?! I think the deeper they know about the stars, planets or galaxies, the closer we would be to know if we are or have been the only civilization in this universe. They can get to know about various elements which are not even in our periodic table or about the upcoming threats to our planet. Afterall, our planet is quite wide open up there.

Word Meaning Example
Periodic table A science chart where all the elements like oxygen, hydrogen are enlisted. I learnt Periodic table today.
Skeptical To be doubtful I am skeptical about your decision.

CUE CARD – Describe a problem you had while shopping online

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a problem you had while shopping online.

 

You should say:

    • When did it happen?
    • What did you buy?
    • What problem did you have?
    • And explain how you felt about the experience.
Sample Answer 
Once, while shopping online for a new laptop, I encountered an unexpected problem. I had carefully researched and selected a model that met my requirements and budget. Excitedly, I added it to my cart, proceeded to checkout, and completed the payment process.
However, the problem arose when I received the confirmation email. To my surprise, the email listed a different laptop model from the one I had chosen. Concerned, I immediately contacted customer support. The response was delayed, and when it finally came, it lacked a proper solution. This began a frustrating cycle of back-and-forth emails, each response taking longer than the last.
Eventually, after several days of trying to resolve the issue, I decided to call customer support. This turned out to be a tedious process, as I had to navigate through various automated options before finally reaching a human representative. They acknowledged the mistake and assured me that the correct laptop would be shipped.
Despite the inconvenience, the situation highlighted the importance of thorough checking and timely customer support. It also underscored the challenges of online shopping, where mistakes can happen due to technical glitches or miscommunication. The experience taught me to keep a record of all interactions and to be persistent when resolving such issues.
In the end, the correct laptop did arrive, and I appreciated the device, but the ordeal left me more cautious when making online purchases and wary of potential mishaps.

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 problem you had while shopping online?’.

Q1. What’s the difference between shopping online and in-store?

Online shopping is when you buy things on the computer, and they’re sent to your home. In-store shopping is when you go to a real store to buy things you can touch and take home right away. Online is easy and delivered, while in-store is hands-on and fast.

Q2. What problems do customers go through when shopping?

People can have problems like not finding what they want, waiting in lines, or things not looking like they thought. Sometimes, stuff doesn’t work or costs more than expected. Getting help might be hard too. It can be confusing or take a long time to fix these issues.
