 2. ) Describe a time when you gave advice to someone.

You should say:

Who asked for your opinion

Why he/she wanted to know your opinion

What opinion you gave

And explain how you felt when he/she asked for your opinion

 

 

 

We all need advice before making important decisions, and we commonly, take advice from people who are wise and experienced. In this cue card, i will talk about a time when i gave advice to someone.

 

Who asked for your opinion ?

 

Actually my brother wanted to purchase a phone, and he was confused about which device he should purchase. He had used an Android phone for a long time and now he wanted to purchase a Mac based smartphone called iPhone.

 

Why did he/she wanted to know about your opinion ?

 

Interestingly, i have an abundance of knowledge related to Mobile devices, since it is my favourite hobby to know about features and functions of contemporary smartphones.  Secondly, i am using an iOS based smartphone from apple, so he wanted to clear all the doubts he had about the software and the device.

 

What opinion you gave ?

 

In fact, i told him how it's software is one of the best and it has plenty of features which Android devices lack, furthermore the camera works brilliantly, moreover it's one the safest devices, because with my iphone location feature, if you lose the phone, you can find it by logging into your apple id. Ultimately, i told him it's a premium device which would help him personally and professionally and it's budget friendly too.

 

And explain how you felt when he/she asked for your opinion

 

I was surprised at first because I don't feel he considers me very wise because he is older to me however I was absolutely delighted as i would guide him in the best possible way. This has also increased our trust in each other. As a whole this was an incident where someone took my advice which made me feel satisfied and enthralled. 


Follow up Questions 


1. What kind of advice do parents give to their children?

There is a saying that one's good or bad habits and behaviours depend on how one's parents bring them up. So, every parent has a responsibility to guide their children to learn good things. Parents give advice to children on various matters like studies, choice of friends, play, food habits etc.

2. How do experts give advice to others? 

Professionals in any field are experienced and knowledgeable and have the ability to lead others. For example, if we approach a doctor for any health problem, he will understand why we are suffering and what is the solution to that problem. Based on that, he/she will give us advice on what to do and how to do it.

3. What advice do parents give to teenagers about making friends?

In my opinion, advising children and even people above 20+ years old is less difficult as compared to teenagers. Because this is a risky age to be easily misled by bad friends. So, it is crucial and challenging for parents to keep them away from bad mates. Parents monitor their children’s activity and moreover, they want to meet friends to know their behaviour. It helps the parents to avoid their child's bad partner and stay away from their child. 

4. How is it helpful to ask for some advice before making a decision?

It is always best to ask for some expert advice or think twice before making any important decision. Because it helps to avoid some risks and wrong moves. Discussion with knowledgeable people will give you some clarity.

5. Is it good to let children make their own decisions?

If I were to answer this question, I would say that allowing children to make their own decisions is not commendable. Because they are new to this world and have no experience in anything. Therefore, they need the help of parents, guardians and teachers while making any decision.

1. Describe an English class/lesson that you enjoyed. You should say:  What was taught in the class? When did you take the class? Where it was? What did the teacher do that made you enjoy it? English has become our second mother tongue and it is taught to us from an early age. There have been scores of English lessons that were taught to us but there I would talk about a interesting lesson which my English teacher taught us. I remember, when I was in my 12th standard last year, our teacher took us on an educational trip, just to make us understand how poor people live. It was a trip of 2 days where we saw bangle making factories and slums of seemapuri in delhi. Then after the trip, he taught us the chapter and we could understand the condition of the characters, because we had visited this place. This was a interesting lesson and it teaches us that, if you want to understand the situation of a person, you have to face the situation yourself too There are scores of reasons why this ...
