Describe A Time When You Shared Something With Others IELTS Cue Card

Sample 1 

Introduction: Thank you so much for this great topic. I believe that humans are social beings who need to share many things with their relatives, friends, and strangers on various occasions. I'll tell you about a time when I shared my room with one of my cousins who visited us a few months ago.

What did you say: We discussed our grandparents, other cousins, jobs, and plans. I enjoyed his company, and we had fun together. I am not used to sharing my most personal possessions and rooms with others, but sharing it with one of my favorite cousins was not a bad experience at all. We had so many fun events during his visit that I invited him to come back.

When was it: I have my room in which I usually live. We have two guest rooms, so I've never shared my room with anyone who stays at our house for the night. When my cousin came to visit us a few months ago, we were renovating our second floor, so there was no spare room for the guests. My cousin, Stephen, unexpectedly arrived in our town and informed us that he would need to stay for a few days. He also mentioned that he intends to stay in a hotel. My father insisted that he stay with us, and I reasoned that I could easily share my room with him for a few days.

With whom did you share it: My cousin, Stephen is 2 years younger than me, but we had a friendly relationship from our childhood.

Sample 2.

Introduction: Sharing is an important part of human interactions because it promotes mutual understanding and strengthens relationships. I recall having to share important information with my family, which turned out to be a significant turning point in our lives.

What did you say: While browsing online, I came across an advertisement for a job in another city. I was ecstatic about the prospect of working there because it would be a significant step forward in my career. However, it also meant moving and leaving our familiar surroundings behind.

When was it: Last July, it was a sunny afternoon, and we were all sitting together for lunch. I mustered the courage to tell my family the news, hoping that they would understand my point of view.

With whom did you share it: I told my parents, who were initially surprised and concerned about the prospect of moving to a new city. We debated the issue thoroughly, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately decided to take the risk. We informed our extended family and friends, who were supportive and offered to assist us with the move. Sharing this news with my family aided us in coming together and making a decision.

Q1.What are the ramifications if children refuse to share?

A1.If children are hesitant to share, I believe it will be difficult for them to make new friends. When children reach adulthood, they may face even more difficult challenges. For example, they may be asked to share their responsibilities with others while working in a company. If they do not comply, they may lose their jobs.

Q2.How do you feel about sharing housing on campus with other students?

A2.I am willing to share a house with others, but I am not willing to share my room. In the case of a house, it would also depend on who I would be sharing the space with. I'd love to share housing with others.

Q3.Do people in your country use public transportation or private transportation?

A3.It all depends on the people's financial situation. Those who can afford it prefer to travel in their private vehicles. Others prefer to take public transport. It is also dependent on the accessibility and comfort of public transportation. Since the AC buses have increased their frequency in Chandigarh, I prefer to take them instead of driving.

Q4.How could parents and teachers instill the value of sharing in young children?

A4.I suppose parents could accomplish this by requiring their children to share household responsibilities and items. Young children, for example, should be forced to share a room. Teachers can assign group projects and encourage students to collaborate. When they work together and rely on one another, they will naturally learn to share.
