Several people love to greet each other by exchanging money on special occasions rather than gifts. Time management is the biggest reason behind this. And it is largely a positive development.


With the advent of the revolutionised era, people are fully occupied, these days. They face a heavy workload, working around the clock, and witnessing stringent rules and regulations. Therefore, such people run out of time to buy gifts for their loved ones. Moreover, they need time to relax at home with their family members and dislike going outside to purchase traditional gift items. Hence, individuals prefer giving money as an alternative to gifts.


On the one hand, cash is superior to other forms of gifts. With money, people have greater autonomy to fulfil their requirements and save it to face any unforeseen circumstances. Furthermore, some party organisers also receive the same gifts owing to which they feel unhappy. Hence, money is the best way to greet others since it removes the barrier of getting the same gifts during a single event. To cite an example, various children ranging from 2 to 5 years usually receive the same gifts such as tricycles and battery-operated cars on birthdays which is associated with disappointment. As a result, money is the best gift since people can use it in a better way.


On the other hand, cash gifts bear a few downsides. Undeniably, cash allows recipients to buy necessary items; however, some youngsters take it adversely. Various young adults usually opt to buy unnecessary items such as access to Over The Top platforms and the latest gadgets. Moreover, such people prefer investing this money in online betting applications where they can lose the invested amount. Therefore, cash gifts are unsuitable in plenty of instances.


To conclude, a busier lifestyle aggravates people to choose money as a gift compared to other items, and the benefits of cash gifts outperform conventional gift items.

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

Speaking Part 1 - January to April 2023

  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

We also observe the copyright status of answers given here.  Name  Is it easy for you to remember people’s names?  Yes, I always find it easy to remember the names of people since I have an elephant's memory. Moreover, I can easily memorise the mobile number of people.  However, I find it difficult when I have to recall the names of those who are from another culture, especially East and South Indian, owing to their uniqueness.   Do you do anything to help you remember people’s names?  Not all the time, I think it is necessary to use anything in remembering people’s names. More specifically, if the people are from my province Punjab, then I can remember easily because of similarity; however, if the people are from another culture, then I prefer to write their names on my pocket diary to remember them.  How do you feel when people can't remember your name?  I don’
