PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe something special that you saved money to buy.
You should say:
• What was it
• Why you bought is
• How long you saved money to buy it
and explain why it was important to you to buy it.
SAMPLE ANSWER
I’m going to talk about the mobile phone that I’m currently using. Prior to this one, I had used 2 or 3 phones, but they were all bought with my parents’ money, so for me this phone has a special meaning.
About a year ago, my old phone started to deteriorate, especially its battery, sometimes it suddenly turned itself off and its apps ran frustratingly slowly. So I decided to buy a new one using my own money, as I thought I couldn’t keep asking my parents to buy me all the things I want anymore.
I visited some websites to check for smartphone types, brands and prices, and finally found the phone that I thought would meet all my needs. However, at that time, it was quite expensive for me to afford, and I had to start saving up.
I did some part-time jobs such as working as a private tutor and interpreter to earn some extra income, and tried to reduce the budget I spent on shopping to economize as much as possible. During that time, I rarely bought new clothes or ate out with friends. Finally, after nearly three months, I had enough money to buy my dream phone.
At the moment I first held it in my hands, I was extremely happy. It was not only the feeling of owning a new technology gadget, but also the happiness of completing a task in my to-do-list. I have kept using this phone until now and I hope it will work well for a long time to come.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do you think in today’s society money cannot buy happiness?
Money always has the power to make you feel happy although it can never get the satisfaction one can get with their loved ones. But, to an extent, money does make it possible for people to extend their happiness. For example, two friends can have more fun on a trek than sitting at home and for a trek to happen, money is important. So, I think ,money does not brings happiness but surely can act as a catalyst.
What disadvantages do you think a society where the gap between rich and poor is large has?
A society with a huge gap between rich and poor often ends up being a depressed and a falling society. Society is like a train with wheels and if the last wheel is broken or is not functioning properly, the entire vehicle will slow down. One of the biggest short backs is the higher crime rates. The more the number of poor people, researchers say, more are the crimes. It also decreases the health levels. A society where most people cannot have good health care will lead to a society with mostly ill people. All of this will lead to a depreciated.
