PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a decision made by others that you disagreed with
You should say:
– What the decision was
– How was it made
– What you disagreed with
– And explain why you disagreed with it
SAMPLE ANSWER
We all have to make decisions from time to time. Some decisions are agreed upon by all, whereas some decisions are not liked by all. Here, I would like to talk about a decision, which was made by my two friends Raman and Sunder, when we were in 10th class. They decided to bunk school and go to watch a movie in a multiplex. I disagreed strongly. First of all, the idea of bunking school did not seem right to me.
Then, going for a movie without parents’ permission was out of question as far as my thinking was concerned. I advised them to go for the movie on a Sunday, in the morning show, after taking permission from our parents. But they were adamant, and were forcing me also to accompany them. I was in a dilemma, as I did not want to disappoint my friends.

But, my father is very strict. I knew that if he found out, he would be very upset and may even not talk to me for days. I could not even bear to think of that. So, I said a firm no to my friends and again tried to dissuade them from bunking school. They, however, did not agree and went for the movie. I remember I felt very light at heart for not going with them. I cannot even think of lying to my parents, or hiding anything from them. So, this was the decision made by my friends, which I did not like.

PART – 3 Follow Ups
1. What skills are necessary when making decisions?
Every person has to make decisions from time to time. A good decision requires both head and heart. Decision-makers need to ask themselves whether that decision makes sense, and also whether it feels right. A good decision requires a good insight into what all the outcomes of that decision could be. It needs rational thinking and a little ability to look into the future.
2. How can people improve their decision-making skills?
With experience, the decision-making skills automatically improve. People are just have to keep in mind, what all outcomes could be, and also be ready to face the consequences, what ever they are.

5. Do you think that parents should make important decisions for their children?
I think parents should have a healthy discussion with their children when they have to make an important decision, and then let the child have the final say.
