You should say:

  what relation this person is to you

  what are your first memories of this person
  how often you see this person
and explain why you really admire this person.
In my family, the person I love most is my grand father who passed away about
six years ago because of cancer. When I was just a child, my parents usually
went to work. Therefore, I stayed at home with him and our relationship was
quite good. He was very friendly and helpful. Whenever my friends came to my
house, he usually greeted them with cordiality. He liked growing flowers very
much. It was the reason why there were flowers galore in my garden. Every
morning I tried to get up early to garden the flowers and enjoy the fresh
atmosphere with him. He loved me very much and I was an apple of his eyes.
When I went to primary school, it was he that rode me on his bike to take me
travel back and forth between my house and school. When he passed away, I
felt like having a broken heart. I was sad and cried so much. I missed him. I
missed every time we had been together, missed his gentle and righteous smiles.
From that time, I became reserved and did not want to talk to anyone. A long
time passed. I realized that I could not continue living like this. I could not be a
coward person. I must be strong despite the tragedy in life as what he had
advised me to. I decided to dance to another tune to live well as my grand father
hoped.

You should say:
 what you do
 where you do it
 who you do it with
and explain why you think that doing this is healthy.
I wake up early in the morning and then walk for an hour every day. After that,
I swim in the nearby river for about 30 minutes and then I start my day. Waking
up very early and then doing the physical exercise is the healthy habit I have
developed from the early stage of my life.
I remember my father insisting us to wake up very early and then took us to the
nearby high school ground for exercise. Nowadays, I wake up from bed at
around 5:30 am and wear my exercise trousers and a pair of shoes. Then I start
walking along with the road that has passed beside the river. The fresh air in the
morning is very healthy for health. Sometimes I take my bicycle and instead of
walking, I ride my cycle. I started doing this early morning exercise and

1
swimming a few years back but nowadays 2 of my friends and cousins
accompany me almost every day. They enjoy doing exercise very much.
The morning is a time when the air and environment remain fresher than at any
time of the day. So breathing the fresh air, doing the exercises and finally
swimming in the freshwater is definitely a very healthy habit. A sound mind lies
on a sound body and this habit that I adopted is pretty helpful for keeping sound
health and a sound mind.
PART 2: Describe a game or sport you enjoy playing.
You should say:
What kind of game or sport it is
Who you play it with
Where you play it
and explain why you enjoy playing it
The sport that I like to play most is swimming. Swimming is the best sport that
is suitable for both children and [Link] you all know, following scientific
research, if you swim from thirty minutes to sixty minutes everyday, you can
wear out 790 calories. If you practice swimming everyday, you can have a
permanent elegant figure year in year out. Moreover, swimming frequently will
bring you a good heath, comfortable mind and body beauty. Although
swimming has just been introduced into Viet Nam, it proves its benefits for
protecting heath. It also helps us to prevent the cardiovascular disease. In my
free time, I usually go swimming with my friends in the pool which is a stone’s
throw away from my house. Day by day, I feel healthier, more comfortable and
more optimistic. Simultaneously, swimming is a good sport which does not
make many traumas like other sports such as, volleyball, jogging, basketball and
so on. I am sometimes yellow, but thanks to this activity, I feel more self-
confident. This is what I like most. The swimming helps me to lose pressure in
my study. Thanks to swimming, I become heathier and happier.
We love to get involved in different kinds of spectators and individual sports in
Myanmar. In fact, our government also encourages us to play sports. Anyway,
today I would like to talk about a sport, which I enjoy playing the most like
millions of others in my country.

The name of this sport is football. In fact, football by far is the most popular
sport in my country, followed by Golf, especially after the modern Myanmar
national football league was formed in the year of 2009.  Besides, football has a

2
long and rich tradition in my country as used to be one of the best Asian teams
along with Iran and South Korea, winning Asian Games football tournaments
twice, in 1966 and 1970, as well as being runner up in the 1968 Asian Cup, after
the champion and host Iran. Myanmar youth team had also crowned Asian
youth championship titles seven times.
Anyway, when I was younger, I could play this sport anywhere in our streets,
where I lived, with my friends and neighbours because back then, the streets
were not really that busy.  But, as I've grown up now, I only play this great sport
in the field by dividing ourselves, including my friends and neighbours, in two
teams, with 11 players in each, and we play like true professionals. In fact, we
even organize a “friendly cup” football tournament for our wards (“ward” is a
local city authority in my country) in our town every year where the champion
team receives an award.
In fact, when our “ward” team plays in this friendly cup football tournament, we
support our own teams by chanting and screaming for them so that they become
spirited and energized to score goals.
Anyway, I enjoy this sport because it allows me to socialize and mingle with
my friends and neighbours while also having fun in the field. The game helps
me recuperate from the fatigue and tiredness of my busy working life.  Finally,
the sport also allows me to remain physically fit and healthy like no other game.
Describe an important choice you had to make in your life.
You should say:
when you had to make this choice
what you had to choose between
whether you made a good choice
And explain how you felt you were making this choice.
In my opinion, during our daily days, we have to give many important
alternatives. I had made a vital choice in my life about 2 years ago. At that time,
an entrance examination to the university was approaching and I had to give my
decision of universities between Banking University and University of Social
Sciences and Humanities. One side was my dream of being a journalist but I
found myself not suitable for it. The other was a vocation with high salaries,
positions and suitable for my ability. After careful consideration, I decided to
choose Banking University, which is famous for its training of Banking and
Finance. You have to fulfill certain criteria to become a student of Banking
University. Notwithstanding having a little hesitance when making this choice,
year in year out I realize that I had made a judicious choice. The studying
3
environment here is very good and professional. The teachers always teach us
with cordiality and dedication. In my opinion, we should think carefully before
making important choices so that we will not regret after that.
***********************************************************
Describe a party that you enjoyed.
 What was it about?
 Where was it held?
 What did people do at the party?
 Explain what you enjoyed at this party?
 Life has given me a lot of happiness and moments to celebrate with my
near and dear ones. I have celebrated many happy moments by hosting
parties for someone and attending other people’s parties as well.
 I have attended many parties on different occasions in my life but the
most enjoyable one was a party that I held to mark my elder sisters
twenty-fifth birthday. It was a surprise party that I planned with the help
of my mother. It was on the twenty-fifth of September last year, and I had
started to plan it two days before. After my sister left for work in the
morning I started decorating our garden and installing the setup including
the tables and chairs. My mother started baking her favorite chocolate
cake while I called all her friends and our relatives to the party in the
evening. I then proceeded to order snacks and appetizers along with the
beverages for the evening. The celebrations finally commenced and all
the guests had arrived before she came. We welcomed her with the
birthday song and hugs from everyone.
 We all had an amazing time at the party. Everybody socialized, we played
party games, danced and had a lot of fun throughout the evening. The
best part was the fact that everyone was happy with the celebration and
there were smiles all around me. My sister got gifts from everyone and
was all smiles when I gifted her a necklace. She was spellbound and
thanked me profusely for organizing such an amazing party.
You should say: 
 when and where you had the idea
 what was your idea
 who you told about your idea
and explain why you thought your idea would make an improvement. 
Since I am a student and have never worked for a company, my idea is related
to the college where I study. Engaging two teaching assistants for each class is
an idea that would very positively improve the study environment and facility in
our college/ university. It is a large college with more than seven thousand
students. Each class has more than 40 students and not all of them are equally
talented and focused on the lessons. So if the college authority arranges to enrol

4
 two promising and talented students who have the capability to manage the
classes and assist the teachers in explaining lessons to other students, would be
a great aid for all the students who often struggle to understand the lessons but
do not ask questions to the teachers. In fact, that would be a great initiative by
the college administration to help all the students with their lessons. I got the
idea from a website of a renowned university that explained how they enrol
teaching assistants and this process helps all the students of a class.
I do not think it would be very difficult to implement. The college authority
needs to discuss this whole idea and then finally decide the process. That might
require some administrative and decision level meeting. The extra budget that
would be required would not be a big hassle for the college to support. So, in
my opinion, I do not see any major obstacles to implementing this idea.
From my experience, I can say that only one-third of the whole students in a
class can catch and fully understand the lectures delivered by the teachers. The
remaining two-third students of a class neither understand the lessons nor ask
questions to the teachers to explain things again. Many students do not ask the
questions they have directly to the teachers and thus always remain as the back-
benchers. If they get teaching assistants from their classmates, they would
surely raise their questions to those TA and would be greatly benefitted. The
overall study quality would improve and the results of the college would also
improve dramatically.
You should say:
 what kind of competition it was
 what you had to do
 what the prizes were for winners
and explain why you chose to take part in this competition.
It was an inter-department annual indoor sports competition at my office and a
circular was issued for all notifying the issue. I am an accountant and work for a
locally reputed manufacturing company in Argentina. The company
manufactures plastic materials for daily use. I feel lucky to have this cue card
topic and I will explain the matter briefly.
I took part in an indoor game. My office organizes the competition annually to
make the employees feel relaxed. In fact, this is really tough to work round the
year without any reliable break. So, different competitions were held marking
the event. I took part in chess and cards. There were some other competitions
like passing the pillow for the female employees. Table tennis was the other
important competition that I did not dare to take part in. However, the prizes
were attractive. The company arranged for home appliances for the winners - a

5
 large screen television set for the first prize winner, a washing machine for the
second and a microwave oven for the third position. But all the participants
received some other awards for their participation. Actually, the authority did
not disappoint anyone of the participants. I won the third prize and another
small prize for my participation. It was an enjoyable event indeed.   
I took part in the competition for some reasons. The prime motivation behind
participating was to check my skills on indoor games. I was skilled in chess
when I was a student but had not been in practice for a long time. The notice for
the annual competition brought the chance for me to repair my skills. Moreover,
I enjoy playing chess and cards. And participating in the competition was
enjoyable too. Considering the reasons, I took part in this competition and won
two prizes.
You should say:
 what it is
 how you learned to use it
 how long you have had it
and explain why you find this piece of electronic equipment useful.
Science has made human life comfortable. With the advancement of age, we
have started reaping the benefits of the past inventions and discovered
technology, and marching towards an advanced and digitised world. Thereby,
we are surrounded by electronic equipment almost everywhere regardless of
home or working stations.
I have a desktop computer at my home with the latest configuration. It is the
most important and valuable thing for me when I am at home. It helps me in
different ways. When I get back home from work, I play songs on the computer.
Sometimes I and my wife watch thrilling movies too on the computer. It has
become an essential part of my life. I also use the electronic equipment for
many other purposes and use the sophisticated applications made for various
purposes. Mostly I play different video games on the computer during my
holidays and y wife uses it for editing photographs. It is truly useful equipment
for me and my family.     
But learning to run the applications were not so easy for me as it is today. Now I
can perform some extraordinary tasks on the computer. I can edit photos using
photo editing software, write anything on the word writing applications like Ms
Word, make presentations for my office using PowerPoint, analyse numerous
data using data analysis software and more others tasks. I took admission at a
training school where I mastered the skills. Now I am also able to edit photos or
create images and give them shapes after needs with the editing applications.

6
All I learnt from the training school and took a six-month training there. In the
beginning, I made silly mistakes to run the applications but now I am highly
skilled in running those and even I do not need to check the keyboard if I am
pressing the right key.  
I had to buy the computer for my wife in 2014 as she is a wildlife photographer,
captures still pictures of the animals and needs to edit those before submitting to
different agencies. Although she has a small laptop, she is uncomfortable to
work with the equipment and thus I had to buy the computer. The computer
owns a higher configuration and allows running almost all the heavy, available
and complicated applications. It works at an unimaginable speed. Moreover,
after having the computer, I have learnt its use which I was ignorant before. By
the span of a year, I have turned into an expert.
The computer is greatly helpful for me and my wife as well. Both of us use the
electronic equipment to meet our daily needs. Most of the time of the day, my
wife uses the machine to edit her captured wildlife images from different parts
of the earth. Besides, I make logical and beautiful presentations to be presented
to my office while taking any important decisions. Thereby, I am highly
benefitted by the applications. Sometimes I am assigned from the office to
design some logos or banners for specific events to be printed, I make them at
home which has a great role in my career development. Moreover, this is the
age of communication and I browse social networking websites using the
computer to reach my other family members or friends. I prefer computer rather
than cellular phones to browse the internet. The large screen is really enjoying.
