SAMPLE ANSWER

One important decision I made with the help of other people was choosing which university to attend after high school. At that time, I was confused because there were several good options, and I wasn’t sure which course or city would suit me best.

I discussed my options with my parents and my older cousin. My parents helped me understand the financial and logistical aspects, like tuition fees and living costs, while my cousin shared her experiences about studying in different universities and gave advice on the quality of education and campus life.

With their guidance, I made a list of pros and cons for each university and finally chose one that not only offered a good course but also had a supportive environment and opportunities for personal growth.

I felt very grateful for their help because making this decision alone would have been stressful. Their advice made me feel more confident and reassured that I was making the right choice for my future.

PART – 3

Do you usually make decisions with help or alone?

For small or everyday decisions, I usually rely on my own judgment because I feel confident in handling minor issues. However, for important life decisions, such as choosing a career path or making financial commitments, I always prefer to seek advice from people I trust. Their experiences and insights often highlight perspectives that I might not have considered, which allows me to make a more informed and thoughtful choice.

IELTS SPEAKING TEST

Do you think it’s important to get advice from others? Why?

Absolutely. Advice from others is incredibly valuable because it provides guidance based on experience, which we might lack ourselves. When faced with a major decision, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or uncertain. Talking to someone with experience can clarify the situation, point out potential risks, and sometimes even offer solutions that we may not have thought of. It’s like having a safety net while making choices that can have long-term consequences.

Can asking for advice ever be a bad thing?

Yes, in some situations, it can be counterproductive. If too many people give advice at the same time, their opinions may conflict, which can confuse you and make decision-making even harder. Also, some people may project their personal biases, which might not suit your situation. Therefore, it’s important to listen carefully, weigh the advice, and finally make a decision that feels right for you.
