CUE CARD : GIFT YOU’D LIKE TO GIVE SOMEONE

INTRODUCTION

In this blog, we are going to talk about the topic that had come up in the IELTS Speaking cue card question during September in Mumbai – Talk about a gift you’d like to give someone

ANALYZING THE QUESTION

The question ‘Talk about a gift you’d like to give someone’ is a pretty basic question. I am certain that all of you would like to give people who you love something or the other. Focus on the topic and write down some bullets related to it. Those bullets will help you deliver your speech without pausing.

MIND MAP:

Let’s create a mind map of the topic at hand – Talk about a gift you’d like to give someone

Creating a mind map helps us remain fixated on the topic we are presented with and avoid deviations. Writing the main topic in the center and then jotting down relevant points associated with it will help us build our speech systematically.

Let’s observe the mind map drawn below.

ATTEMPT:

Gifts are appreciated by one and all as they always bring a smile to one’s face. On my mother’s birthday this year, I would love to present her with a smartwatch. She doesn’t own one but is extremely particular about her fitness regime. Someone like her could make effective use of a smartwatch and so, I think it would be the ideal gift for her. She makes a point to play golf for an hour daily and also indulge in pilates during the evenings. She is wholly dedicated to these regimes and enjoys them thoroughly.

Mothers are special women and have a significant role to play in our lives. It is for this very reason that my mother comes to my mind the moment I spot something valuable or eye catching as a present. She is an unconditional woman who never forgets to bring a smile on people’s faces. She goes out of her way to do things even for those who would never make the slightest amount of effort.

I am pretty certain that she will be elated on receiving it and will also make it a point to wear it all the time. The smartwatch that I am planning to purchase for her is from the brand ‘Fitbit.’ I have always looked up to this brand as it manufactures superior quality watches that have negligible complaints worldwide. To own a fitbit smartwatch is almost like a status symbol. However, that is not the sole reason for my opting for the brand. I wish to give my mother something that she would really cherish and so, I have zeroed in on this product.
