IELTS Speaking Part 2: IELTS Cue Card
Describe a time when you shared something with others (or another person)
– What did you share?
– Who did you share it with?
– Why did you share it?
– And explain how you felt about sharing it?
Well, the old saying “ Sharing is caring” holds very true even today in our lives.
It shows our love, care and affection for each other and helps to develop and maintain strong bonds and relationships.
It is a great way to express our emotions and feelings to one another.
I, too, enjoy sharing things with people who need them and aim to help them in whatever way I can.
On the same note, about a couple of years ago, I used to stay in a hostel in Bangalore.
I had rented a single share room for myself as I wanted a bit of privacy and silence during my study and work hours.
However, one day I came to know that the adjoining room was dripping through its ceiling and it was really not possible for anyone to stay in that room.
My warden requested me if I could share my room for a few days with the other girl and I happily agreed.
She was a new entrant to the hostel and was very unfamiliar with situations like these.
Moreover, she was very sweet and shy at the same time but I broke the ice by initiating a conversation with her to get to know her better.
Slowly, she felt comfortable and started to open up about herself.
She shared that she got scared as to where she would go or shift to at this hour.
I told her that I was aware of the situation and hence, decided to help her.
Plus, I believe that if you are in a better position and have something that the other person needs then you should always show humility and share it with him or her.
Similarly, I felt the need to help her in whichever way I could.
In the end, it felt really nice to have a sweet conversation with her as I got to know how good and bubbly she is.
We talked for hours. Also, it felt great to have someone to have dinner with.
This small gesture of sharing actually earned me a great friend for life, so much so that we decided to stay together in one room.
So, this incident actually earned me a friend and confidant for life.
IELTS Speaking Part 3 :
Follow-up questions of Describe a time when you shared something with others (or another person)
1. Do you like to share?
Yes, as I mentioned before, I wouldn’t mind sharing things with other people if I have a surplus. Even during childhood, I was used to sharing my lunch, snacks and school notes with my friends.
2. What are the consequences if children don’t like to share?
That will put them in a very difficult situation. They will struggle to make new friends at school or elsewhere. Slowly, they’ll end up being lonely and start struggling with themselves. This can get worse when they grow up and are asked to share their work with other people at the office.
3. How do you feel about sharing accommodations with others on campus?
Oh, I love that. I have done that a number of times before. But one thing is that I prefer to share accommodation with a person who has a similar mindset as me. As in an opposite scenario, staying peacefully becomes difficult and leads to a lot of friction between roommates.
4. How could parents and teachers teach young children to share?
Well, parents can play a great role by giving different responsibilities to their children and by making them share a room. Similarly, teachers can make the students work in groups for different activities and assignments. This helps the kids to understand the importance of one another and learn to share things as a result.
5. Do people in your country (or, you) prefer to share public transport or do they (you) prefer to use private transport?
That depends on what is financially more viable out of the two for people. Those who are rich enough and can afford private transport they go with it as it offers a level of comfort while travelling. On the other hand, some people who have budget constraints prefer public transport.
6. Do many people in your country share their home with others or do they mostly live alone?
Well, the majority of people in India share their homes with somebody or the other. Indians are known to live in a joint family setup. Further, students these days share their rented apartments and accommodations with other students to cut the cost of rent.
7. Do you think there are any advantages to sharing your home with other (non-family) people?
Um, it depends. If they are someone whom you get along with really well, then the experience can be great and a very joyous one indeed. However, if you don’t get along well with them then the experience can be troublesome and harrowing.
8. Would you ever share your food with someone else?
I think, yes. I have even done that many times. I have shared my tiffins with my school friends and my snacks, lunches and dinners with my roommates.
