Describe a change you would like to make in your life in the future. v. 1
Describe a change you would like to make in your life in the future. You should say: what type of change it is when you want this change to take place how easy or difficult you think this might be and explain why you would like to make this change in your life.   Model Answer 1: I must say that I am not an ideal person, as in a role model, whom people like to follow. In fact, there are so many things in my life, I need to change, that I don’t even know where to start. But, to start with, it would be great if I could change myself to be a bit more proactive person. Well, yes, I am not shy to admit that I am a bit a lazy person. Well, on second thought, I am perhaps more than just a “little bit” of a lazy person, and I want to get rid of this ‘lazy me” as soon as possible. Let me give you some example of how lazy can I really become sometimes, especially, when I become a bit too busy and occupied with my job. For example, I don’t change my bed sheets or wash them for weeks if not months. Sometimes, when I feel exhausted, I don’t even care to change my clothes or shocks before going to bed when I come too late from work. And, I don’t even want to talk about how I “bother” my subordinates at work to do the little things for me, obviously, because I am too lazy to do them. So, I really want to change this dull aspect of my life, but I know that it isn’t going to be too easy at all since I have been like this since my early high school days. In fact, my grandparents spoiled me since the days they moved with me and my parents. In fact, they loved me so much that they wouldn’t even let me pour a glass of water myself, lest I would become too “tired” of working. Anyway, I would like to make this change because it is actually preventing me from enjoying a lot of things in my life because I am too lethargic to go out and explore the world. I would make this change also because people around me sometimes have a rather “negative” view of me, which can be equally embarrassing and frustrating.   Sample Answer 2: In the future, I would like to get admitted in a reputed foreign university and complete my education there. After that, I would get involved in a research-based job and after working for a few years I would return to my country. This would be a big change for me as I am currently working in a local company have no prospect of getting involved in research-based work. The whole change would take quite a few years and hence I want to start it right from the next year. The first stage is to make this change happen is to get admitted in a reputed foreign university. I will start that in a few months hopefully. This is not a quite easy change as it requires hard work, determination and bit of favour of luck. But I am positive that if I work on with determination and follow the steps required, it would not be very tough for me. I want to get involved in an area of our country where I would be able to contribute greatly. And to contribute to such a sector I would require the experience of working in a research-based sector. In my opinion, studying in a foreign country and then working in research projects would give me a good insight into the sector I want to contribute. Besides, that would be a great opportunity for me as well to get to know the different cultures and learning many new things that would be helpful for me to contribute to our country.   Similar Cue Card Topics Your ability to talk about this Cue Card Topic would enable you to talk about the following Cue Card Topics as well: Describe a positive change in your life.

Describe
a
change
you would like to
make
in your
life
in the future. You should say: what type of
change
it is when you
want
this
change
to take place how easy or difficult you
think
this might be and
explain
why you would like to
make
this
change
in your
life

Model Answer 1:

I
must
say that I am not an ideal person, as in a role model, whom
people
like to follow. In fact, there are
so
many
things in my
life
, I need to
change
, that I don’t even know where to
start
.
But
, to
start
with, it would be great if I could
change
myself to be a
bit
more proactive person.

Well
, yes, I am not shy to admit that I am a
bit
a
lazy
person.
Well
, on second
thought
, I am perhaps more than
just
a “
little
bit”
of a
lazy
person, and I
want
to
get
rid of this
‘lazy
me” as
soon
as possible.
Let
me give you
some
example of how
lazy
can I
really
become
sometimes
,
especially
, when I become a
bit
too busy and occupied with my job.
For example
, I don’t
change
my
bed sheets
or wash them for weeks if not months.
Sometimes
, when I feel exhausted, I don’t even care to
change
my clothes or shocks
before
going to bed when I
come
too late from
work
. And, I don’t even
want
to talk about how I “bother” my subordinates at
work
to do the
little
things for me,
obviously
,
because
I am too
lazy
to do them.

So
, I
really
want
to
change
this dull aspect of my
life
,
but
I know that it isn’t going to be too easy at all since I have been like this since my early high school days. In fact, my grandparents spoiled me since the days they
moved
with me and my parents. In fact, they
loved
me
so
much that they wouldn’t even
let
me pour a glass of water myself, lest I would become too “tired” of working.

Anyway
, I would like to
make
this
change
because
it is
actually
preventing me from enjoying
a lot of
things in my
life
because
I am too lethargic to go out and explore the world. I would
make
this
change
also
because
people
around me
sometimes
have a
rather
negative
” view of me, which can be
equally
embarrassing and frustrating.
 
Sample Answer 2:

In the future, I would like to
get
admitted in a reputed foreign university and complete my education there. After that, I would
get
involved in a research-based job and after
working
for a few years I would return to my
country
. This would be a
big
change
for me as I am
currently
working
in a local
company
have no prospect of getting involved in research-based
work
. The whole
change
would take quite a few years and
hence
I
want
to
start
it
right
from the
next
year. The
first
stage is to
make
this
change
happen is to
get
admitted in a reputed foreign university. I will
start
that in a few months
hopefully
. This is not a quite easy
change
as it requires
hard
work
, determination and
bit
of
favour
of luck.
But
I am
positive
that if I
work
on with determination and follow the steps required, it would not be
very
tough for me. I
want
to
get
involved in an area of our
country
where I would be able to
contribute
greatly
. And to
contribute
to such a sector I would require the experience of
working
in a research-based sector. In my opinion, studying in a foreign
country
and then
working
in research projects would give me a
good
insight into the sector I
want
to
contribute
.
Besides
, that would be a great opportunity for me as
well
to
get
to know the
different
cultures and learning
many
new things that would be helpful for me to

to our
country
