January 2024 Cue Card 1

Q. Do you believe that changes are always beneficial? [How come/why not?]

Answer: Changes are sometimes necessary for our lives, but they are not always beneficial unless we are selective in our choices. After all, some changes can be extremely stressful, time-consuming, costly, and even destructive, especially if they are not managed wisely in the long run.

Furthermore, sometimes a change, whether small or large, affects not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us - people who are not always open to such changes.

Q. Do you believe that as we get older, we become more optimistic about life and adapt to our surroundings? [How come/why not?]

Answer: No, I don't believe age has much to do with being more positive in life, nor does it affect our ability to change with our surroundings in a meaningful way. After all, age frequently has very little, if any, bearing on how a person actually thinks or behaves.

And what we used to enjoy at the age of 25 is still something we enjoy even when we reach the age of 50. Furthermore, if our life is full of negative and unhappy experiences - experiences with which we grow up - chances are we won't have much room for positivity in life.

Q. Explain typical changes that people typically experience in their lives?

Answer: I believe that every change in our lives, no matter how small or large, is significant because it affects us in some way. Having said that, we tend to regard some changes as more "significant" than others simply because they are more visible and pronounced in our lives.

Significant changes can range from getting married and having a baby to changing jobs and moving to a newly purchased home. Some argue that quitting a bad habit, such as smoking, is an example of a significant change.

Q. Is it necessary for people to make changes based on their surroundings? [How come/why not?]

Answer: Yes, it is critical to make changes in our lives based on our surroundings for a variety of reasons. The first is that it allows us to discover aspects of ourselves that would otherwise be hidden.

Second, it allows us to learn and adapt to different cultures, customs, behaviour, and belief systems, which would otherwise keep us on a collision course with the people around us. Furthermore, things do not always go as planned in life, and if that is the case, we have no choice but to change our plans if we truly want to be successful.

Q. How have young people's life expectations changed over the last decade? Is this a positive or negative statement? [Why?]

Answer: We can't deny that young people today want a lot more out of life than they did a decade or so ago. For example, because of some revolutionary technological changes, they want everything to be quick. Today, they also want to produce and consume more.

Furthermore, they are now more vocal than ever before in their efforts to make the world a more secure place for all by raising concerns about issues such as climate change. These changes, in my opinion, are more positive than negative because they are more eager to become the driving force of society's future development.

Q. How has your country's population changed in the last 20 years?

Answer: People in my country have changed dramatically in the last 20 years. These changes can be seen in their attitudes and behaviours. For example, they are more prosperous today and willing to spend more money to enjoy life.

They still value family life today, but they don't want to hold on to the traditional beliefs that they treasured just two decades ago. Furthermore, they are more interested than ever before in learning about other countries and cultures, which is unquestionably a good thing.

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 handmade items.  2.   Do you think there are many scenic spots in India

  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 savoury stuffed pastr
