But it would indeed be a lie if I said that I didn\u2019t actually care about prizes. Here I will talk about a prize that I received many years ago.<\/p>\n<p>When I was in school, I once took part in an inter-school quiz competition in grade 10th. But, just before the inter-school quiz competition we had our mid-semester exams so I couldn\u2019t really pay much attention to the competition. Despite that, I stood second in the competition and received a silver medal and this made it all the more special.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Describe a prize that you received | IELTS Cue Card 2020 | Brpaper\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0KUQDbICPpg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The quiz was on distinct topics from science to maths to general knowledge. I went into the competition with no expectation of winning. I just didn\u2019t want to embarrass myself, however, two things worked in my favor. My general knowledge has always been good because I read the newspaper daily and watch educational channels like Discovery. Moreover, I had a keen interest in reading books in the library based on General knowledge which really helped me a lot. I couldn\u2019t specially prepare for the other topics, but a lot of the topics were similar to the topics in my school\u2019s curriculum. So, when I was preparing for my school exams, I was also in a way preparing for the quiz. I still remember the day of the exam vividly. I woke up on the day feeling really nervous.my mother wished me good luck and comforted me by saying that I will definitely win a prize. In the first round of the quiz, I answered one question, then another and then kept answering them all correctly. At that time, I felt I was just lucky but by the third and fourth round, I felt even more confident. One of the other participants was also very good. In the last round, it was a direct competition between both of us. However, I bagged the second position by a slight margin. Immediately after the competition, I was awarded the silver medal. I remember feeling very happy with all my teachers and peers congratulating me. When I came back home, my mother and father became very happy seeing my medal. We went out for dinner that night to celebrate the victory. It was all so surreal. I still get emotional thinking of that day sometimes. I wonder if I would have practiced a little more, I would definitely have won the gold medal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Describe a prize that you received You should say What it was When you received it What did you do for it And explain how you felt about it &nbsp;&#8230;<\/p>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/describe-a-prize-that-you-received\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading <i class=\"fas fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3072,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2959,6],"tags":[3193,1573,1574,139,2186,3194,2699,2187],"yst_prominent_words":[690,1374,1355,831,3142,2376,3157,1042,111],"class_list":["post-3071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cue-cards","category-speaking","tag-ielts-latest-cue-card-2020","tag-ielts-speaking","tag-ielts-speaking-cue-card","tag-ielts-speaking-tips","tag-ielts-speaking-vocabulary","tag-makkar-cue-card-list","tag-recent-ielts-exam-question","tag-topic-related-vocabulary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3071"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3071\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3299,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3071\/revisions\/3299"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3071"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=3071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
