Describe a successful person who you once studied or worked with.

You should say:

Who this person is?
When did you study/work with this person?
What you did do together?
What this person did to become successful?
Explain how you felt about studying or working with this person.

1. Is money the only measure of success in your country?

No, in my country wealth is not seen as the only criteria to establish success. Although, I know money makes the mare go and plays an important one, but not the only one. There are many successful people in my country who do not have a lot of money but are still considered successful because they have achieved tremendous feats in their lives or professions.

2. How do you define whether one is a successful person?


First of all, I think the definition of success is subjective and varies from person to person. But still, a broader definition of success would be about achieving personal goals and finding fulfilment in one’s pursuits.

Moreover, a successful always care for others by means of donation or giving free food.

3. What is the standard of success in your country?


The standard of success in India, like many other countries, is highly diverse and influenced by individual and societal expectations. In my country, a person who has achieved good educational qualifications, and financial stability and has good family ties is generally considered successful.

4. Is there a contradiction between success and happiness?


It depends. Success can contribute to happiness when it aligns with one’s values and goals, but it may lead to unhappiness if pursued at the expense of one’s well-being and contentment. Balancing both is key to a fulfilling life. For example, a wealthy person with ill health will not be happy.

5. Is it easy to succeed in the national tests in your country?

Honestly speaking, in my country it is very difficult to clear national tests or competitive exams. Because of the humongous population, there is immense competition in such examinations. To give you an example, almost 9 lac students take the civil services exam every year and out of them, only 1000 make the final cut.

6. What are the factors that influence students' grades at school?


I would say there are myriad factors that play a role in student's grades. Although, primarily it depends on the efforts/hard work put in by students, the guidance from teachers and the support from parents is also essential. Apart from this nowadays.

Part - 3 - All Cue Cards

Part 3 belongs to all new cue cards from September to December 2022. We have written the answers on our own except for one topic. Hence, we hold the copyright status of the answers written by us. 1.  Describe an object you find particularly beautiful (For example, a painting, sculpture, piece of jewellery/furniture, etc.). 1. Do   you   think   there   are   more   beautiful   things   now   than  in  the   past? In my opinion, traditional art and sculptures are much more captivating. I think in the past, it was easier for artists to find shoppers in the form of kings and nobles and they could focus on their art without any financial worries. However, today it is much harder to earn money as an artist. The art being made today also reflects that – it is done more as a hobby rather than as a profession and the works produced are far behind those of the past. Moreover, nowadays artists rely on machine work instead of handmad...

  Fast Food and Break Fast What do you have for breakfast? I prefer to have my favourite food items during the first meal of the day. Usually, I like wheat bread with freshly cooked vegetables like Okra, Turnip, beans and cauliflower. Along with this, I love to take a cup of tea. However, during weekends, my mother cooks stuffed bread for me, and amongst all these bread types, my favourite one is potato-filled bread with curd and homemade butter.  Do you eat fast food? Yes, I do, but once a fortnight, I prefer to have it. It is owing to the bad cholesterols present in junk food materials. In this category, I find cheese burst pizza, garlic bread and white sauce Italian pasta mouth-watering.  What are the different kinds of fast food in your country? Name them. India has an ocean of fast food materials. For instance, Chinese, Italian and American fast materials are the most popular ones in India. Moreover, we have traditional fast foods as well.  The first one is a sa...

  CHALLENGES What subject do you think is the most challenging at school? I believe history is one of the most challenging subjects at schools since it is an uphill task for many school-goers to remember historical events and their dates.
