IELTS Speaking Part 2: IELTS Cue Card
Describe a time you were friendly to someone you didn’t
like
You should say:
– When and Where it happened
– Who he/she was
– Why you didn’t like this person
– And explain why you were friendly to him/her on that occasion.
– Well, I’m friendly to most of the people around me.
– However, still there are some people I don’t like because of their rude nature.
– Here I would like to talk about one of my classmates named Robert whom I did not like during my school time.
– In the 10th standard, there was a science project that students had to complete for the final assessment.
– For that, our science teacher divided the whole class into small groups of 4-5 members.
– I got upset when I got to know that Robert and me were in the same group.
– As it was the teacher’s decision, I could not do anything about it.
– The main reason why I did not like him was his arrogant behaviour.
–Actually, he was from a very rich family and had a superiority complex and because of this, he used to behave very rudely with other classmates.
– But that time, I made my mind to cooperate with him to complete our project successfully.
– In starting, I used to hesitate to talk directly with Robert.
– But after a couple of days, I started feeling comfortable with him and we started working as a team.
– There were some occasions when he was a bit rude but I tolerated and turned my focus to the project.
– However, I must say, there was one thing I really admired about him was his science knowledge and skills.
– At times he solved some critical problems of the project which saved us time.
– This was the only time when I was friendly with him because this project was really crucial for me to get good marks.
– Moreover, I didn’t have any other option so I tried my best to be his teammate on that occasion.
– To be honest, that was totally a different kind of experience for me which instilled in me the importance of teamwork.
