We gathered after a long time near the Sydney Opera House and discussed different topics. At the gathering, there was a writer who cracked a joke over the current political conditions. We all laughed. The joke was about a thief and his selection as a cabinet member in a fictional state. One day the police caught a thief red-handed. The thief was produced at the court. But the thief disagreed to be trialled on the court with excuses that the judge is dishonest. The issue was covered in the mainstream media. So, the issue was raised at the cabinet with the presence of the thief. The Premier asked the Home Minister to run the trial, but the minister denied saying that he is imperfect and often becomes corrupt. So, it was shifted to the Minister for Foreign Affairs - he also denied running the trial with the same reason of discrepancy on different issues. Almost all the ministers were asked to run the trial but all of the refuted with the similar reason. When finally the trial was shifted to the Premier, he also denied that saying that he is to run a state and he also needs to be corrupt sometimes. Suddenly, someone from the cabinet proposed to enlist him in the cabinet saying this will end the troubles. Samuel is one of my close buddies. He loves to think critically about the society. Now he is an established writer cum journalist and writes fictions for a newspaper. Besides, he also writes as a freelance writer for some other agencies as well. I met him first at my college here in Australia. He joined us in the middle of the year. In fact, he was late for attending the classes though enrolled at the beginning of the year. He was troubled with visa processing at that time as he is non-native in Australia. However, after his joining, it appeared that our class was revived. He was smart and still he is. With his innovative speeches and activities, he made the classes fun and even the teachers also liked him for his witty questions and wise responses. We all present at the gathering laughed. In fact, it really was an interesting for us and too funny. The reasons behind the joke were extremely positive. Actually, the reason of the thief for not being tried by any dishonest judge or public representative was amusing. Initially, the joke appeared quite interesting and we all laughed. We all laughed at the joke by our heart. Some of us started imitating like the thief – only to extend the fun. The joke was really an interesting one for some reasons. In fact, the thief was correct in some sense. He did not want to be trialled with someone who is corrupt like him. He wanted to be trialled by someone who was honest so that he could get the right verdict for his misdeeds. But there was not an honest individual who could play the role of the judge to solve the issue. So, someone from the cabinet proposed to make him a minister and this will reduce the trial dilemma. Though the place and the characters are fictional, this is a common issue for almost all of the countries. Corruption is prevailing everywhere. We are accustomed to it but this joke was a type of blow against corruption. More Ideas to talk about this Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card topic: Topic: Describe a joke that made you laugh. 1.

Sample Answer 1:

My recent
meet
with my college buddies was great fun. We gathered after a long time near the Sydney Opera
House
and discussed
different
topics
. At the gathering, there was a writer
who
cracked a
joke
over the
current
political conditions. We all laughed.

The
joke
was about a
thief
and his selection as a cabinet member in a fictional state. One day the police caught a
thief
red-handed. The
thief
was produced
at the court.
But
the
thief
disagreed to be
trialled
on the court with excuses that the judge is dishonest. The
issue
was covered
in the mainstream media.
So
, the
issue
was raised
at the cabinet with the presence of the
thief
. The Premier asked the Home
Minister
to run the
trial
,
but
the
minister
denied saying that he is imperfect and
often
becomes corrupt.
So
, it
was shifted
to the
Minister
for Foreign Affairs
-
he
also
denied running the
trial
with the same
reason
of discrepancy on
different
issues
. Almost all the
ministers
were asked
to run the
trial
but
all of the
refuted with the similar
reason
. When
finally
the
trial
was shifted
to the Premier, he
also
denied that saying that he is to run a
state and
he
also
needs to be corrupt
sometimes
.
Suddenly
,
someone
from the cabinet proposed to enlist him in the cabinet saying this will
end
the troubles.

Samuel is one of my close buddies. He
loves
to
think
critically
about the society.
Now
he is an established writer
cum
journalist and writes fictions for a newspaper.
Besides
, he
also
writes as a freelance writer for
some
other agencies as
well
. I met him
first
at my college here in Australia. He
joined
us in the middle of the year. In fact, he was late for attending the classes though enrolled at the beginning of the year. He
was troubled
with visa processing at that time as he is non-native in Australia.
However
, after his joining, it appeared that our
class
was revived
. He was smart and
still
he is. With his innovative speeches and activities, he made the classes fun and even the teachers
also
liked him for his witty questions and wise responses.

We all present at the gathering
laughed
. In fact, it
really
was an
interesting
for us and too
funny
. The
reasons
behind the
joke
were
extremely
positive
.
Actually
, the
reason
of the
thief
for not
being tried
by any dishonest judge or public representative was amusing.
Initially
, the
joke
appeared quite
interesting and
we all
laughed
. We all
laughed
at the
joke
by our heart.
Some
of us
started
imitating like the
thief
only
to extend the fun.

The
joke
was
really
an
interesting
one for
some
reasons
. In fact, the
thief
was correct in
some
sense. He did not want to be
trialled
with
someone
who
is corrupt like him. He wanted to be
trialled
by
someone
who
was honest
so
that he could
get
the
right
verdict for his misdeeds.
But
there was not an honest individual
who
could play the role of the judge to solve the
issue
.
So
,
someone
from the cabinet proposed to
make
him a
minister
and this will
reduce
the
trial
dilemma. Though the place and the characters are fictional, this is a common
issue
for almost
all of the
countries. Corruption is prevailing everywhere. We
are accustomed
to it
but
this
joke
was a type of blow against corruption. More
