Describe a time when you helped a child.

 

You should say:

• • When it was?
  • How you helped him/her?
  • Why you helped him/her?
  • And how you felt about it?

Sample Answer 

Once upon a sunny day, I saw a little kid who looked lost in a big park. The kid seemed really worried and was looking around with watery eyes. I went up to them and squatted down to talk, giving them a friendly smile. I asked if everything was okay and where their family might be. The kid slowly told me they got separated from their parents while playing.

In a soft voice, I said things would get better. I asked for their parents’ names and tried calling them, but nobody answered. I thought the kid might be getting even more worried, so I suggested we go to the park’s help center. Holding their hand, we walked there and talked to the people working. They made an announcement on the speakers, saying the parents’ names and where they were.

Not long after, the kid’s parents hurried to the help center, looking worried but happy when they saw the child. They hugged them tight and said thanks a lot for taking care of them. Seeing the family back together made me feel really good, and I was happy I could help when they were so worried. As they left, I couldn’t help but smile, feeling glad that I could bring some peace to the kid and their family.

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe an advertisement that you don’t like. You should say:

• • When did you see it?
  • What it is about?
  • Where you saw it?
  • Why you didn’t like it? 

Sample Answer 

Advertisements are the heart and soul of business as it aids in generating the revenue and a good customer base. In this modern era, advertising firms are broadcasting their advertisements in a luring manner. Well, I am a movie buff. I vividly remember a time when I was watching a movie by being a couch potato on a lazy weekend, an ad popped up on my laptop’s screen and it was stating about a face cream which will eventually helps a person to become fair in complexion, which according to me was so demeaning because it was something promoting that fair complexion is all that matters. In that ad a girl who had dusky colour was worked out as she was not fair. So her friend came up to her and gave her the cream named FAIR AND LOVELY. Though that costed her an arm and a leg but she somehow purchased it and after applying it for one entire month she didn’t get any kind of change which made her even more sad.
After viewing these derogatory things I felt blue because complexion is something that an individual cannot change and should not even try to alter it. Complexion is an individuals identity.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning	Sentence
Broadcasting	The transmission of programmes or information by radio or television.	The cooking show will be broadcasted tonight at 8:00 P.M.
Demeaning	causing someone to lose their dignity and the respect of others.	The seminar was not demeaning to elderly.

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 an advertisement that you don’t like’.

Q1. Do people usually buy stuff after watching advertisements?

Well in my opinion it varies from individual to individual. Few folks are inclined towards purchasing goods after viewing the advertisements because they consider it as the clear picture of the product but on the flip side of the coin few people prefer to visit the store and look for the product in a tangible way and then make a decision regarding its purchase.

Q2. Is music useful in advertising?

Yes, undoubtedly music plays a crucial role in advertisements because without it the ad will be a dumb show. Good music always catch the attention of a person and the basic motive of ad is to lure the intending customer.

Describe a colorful event.

You should say:

• • What the event was?
  • Why it was so colorful?
  • What happened at the event?
  • And describe how you felt attending that event.

Sample Answer 

An individual has to attend several events and occasions in his/her life. I too had enjoyed many functions related to different themes, but I am going to talk about a specific one which I most recently experienced. Pacing back to the month of March, the society in which I live organized an event to celebrate the festival of colors, which in India is popularly known as “Holi”. This festival is celebrated each year with zeal and enthusiasm by the followers of Hindu religion. While celebrating this festival, people plat with colors and have a varied selection of dishes to choose from. All the members of our locality contributed a fixed amount to the chosen president for this function. Ever since this function was decided to be celebrated, everyone had been keenly looking forward for it to arrive. On the day of the event, all of the members were full of joy and happiness. On a long table, different colors were placed on plates for the people to use and play with. Everyone there was exchanging greetings and sweets with each other. One could feel the togetherness present in the air that day. Big speakers blew in full volume with amazing Bollywood songs to set the mood of fun. Colors flew in the air as everyone was splashing on them on each other. Some were even using colored water through water cannons. There was harmony among all of us. To sum up, I’d say that it was one of the events where I felt the most present in the moment. It gave me a new beginning as I forgot all the hatred and sorrow that I had faced before this celebration.

STRONG WORDS

Word	Meaning	Sentence
Contributed	Provide something	Harsh contributed the highest for the party.
Enthusiasm	Confidence	Her enthusiasm persuaded other participants to get through the tasks.

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 colorful event’.

Q1. How do people celebrate public events?

In my opinion, it mostly depends on the type of the function. But in almost all events, a lot of varied food items are served, friends gather together to have chit-chat with each other and sometimes even enjoy deinks of their likings. These events are full of excitement and cheerfulness.

Q2. Do you think it is important to celebrate events?

Well, I partially agree with this statement as even though I do believe that life’s a short path and every little achievement deserves its own celebration, however, not everybody on this planet is fortunate enough to conduct a grand celebration due to limited financial resources.
