IELTS CUE CARD # Speak about a person who contributes to the society

Sample Answer :

I believe serving the society is equivalent to serving oneself in true sense as humans are crucial elements of the society. I think that every responsible citizen has got one thing or other to contribute to society. For instance, a scholar contributes by his knowledge, a policeman contributes by maintaining law and order, a doctor contributes by making people disease free and healthy. But, yes, we have some significant contributors, which possess more talent and resourcefulness than others. I think, considering the pace and direction at which the world is moving, pioneering the advanced streams of science and technology is a very active contribution to the society and the mankind. Elon musk is one person who has endeavoured to synergise his private corporation to research in the most unexplored streams of science and technology. I first heard about him in news, when I came to know his plan to launch his own space mission.

Well, his research and subsequent applications have a tremendous momentum for the future of the mankind. The most unfathomable depths of several undetermined domains are being investigated by his contributions. Space technology, Digital evolution, energy conservation and optimization, artificial intelligence and advanced molecular genetics are some of the key areas that have not been understood fully to this day and he hold this inertia of knowing the unknown, which is a boon to the society.

I admire Elon musk for few distinguished potentials of his adventurous spirit. The pace and audacity of his research applications is remarkable. With every passing year, he has contributed significantly by his quest for innovation and relentless zeal to make the world a better place. He not only has that risk appetite but capacity too which translate into the most advanced inventions of the times.

Q. 3 Do you think politicians contribute to the society?

Sample answer: Ideally, politicians are entitled with the job of taking care of the people and society at large. It is their task assigned by constitution, to formulate and execute policies for the welfare of the people and betterment of society. But, I feel that politicians lack integrity and they are dishonestly performing their duties. They are selfishly busy in their personal pursuits, rather than contributing to society.

Q. 4 Do you believe in selfless service to the society?

Sample answer: Selfless service as taken up by a few illuminating figures like Gandhiji, Mother Teresa, Vinoba bhave; is the highest service to people, society and to the almighty. I strongly believe in selfless service. Whenever I get the chance, I go to orphanages and teach the students. I usually visit the poor and marginalised and try to help them in any possible manner. I believe, compassion and empathy are essential for selfless service to the people.
