Describe an elderly person in your family who you enjoy talking to. v. 1
Describe an elderly person in your family who you enjoy talking to. You should say: who this person is what he/she is like how often you see him/her and explain why you enjoy talking to this person. [You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you're going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish. ] Sample Answer: Thank you very much for the opportunity to let me talk about a senior person in our family. My grandfather is the elderly person in my family and lives with us here in Wellington. He is an intelligent and active man even in his 60s. Most of his stories are made from his real-life experiences when he served as a soldier in the army. So, I enjoy talking with this person and learn numerous invaluable lessons from each of the conversations. This is a great cue card task topic for me and I would like to thank you for this. I am glad to have it in my share. My grandfather, Thomas Connor, was a brave soldier and served in the army for over 20 years. He was promoted to a higher rank of the army and got an early retirement for his vision impairment. But he looked very strong and smart with his official uniform. Still, he has a smart look with his glasses. He is able to drink a huge amount of beer at a time and loves to take part in outdoor activities. I frequently meet him and when it is a weekend, I am glued to my grandfather round the day. In this time, I have nothing to do and the college is closed. Moreover, my grandfather also gets some spare moments to spend with the family. But I occupy the largest share of the moments from him. On the regular days, I do not have much time to spend with grandpa. I only wish him a good morning and leave for the college. I love talking with this person. He has travelled to different parts of the world and so his knowledge is far enriched than the other people of my family. He also loves to spend time with me and teaches me about numerous issues. Based on the reasons, I like to talk with him. More Ideas to talk about this Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card topic: Topic: Describe an elderly person in your family who you enjoy talking to. 1. I live in a nuclear family in Paris and enjoy talking to my grandmother. She looks nice with her curly hair and deep blue eyes. I frequently meet with her and most of the time it is evening when I meet her. I love to talk with her for some reasons. She knows much about many real-life skills and shares her knowledge with me. Besides, when I am in trouble, I take suggestions from her. 2. My dad is the most admirable person in my family and I love to talk with him most. He is a retired police officer and served the German police for many years. Since he is retired, he passes most of his time at home and engaged in writing. But I only meet him during the night hours as I remain busy round the day with my academic activities. He loves to talk and his way of talking is different from other Germans. So, I enjoy talking with him. 3. Grandma is the most generous person in our family. I love to talk with her. She is now old and got several old age complications. But she can tell attractive stories. So, I love to listen to her stories in the bedtime. She is the only person whom I can share everything. I share my happenings of college and she also enjoys listening to me. 4. My mom is my best friend. She looks gorgeous with all the time. I meet her every day. In fact, she is my constant companion at home. I spent all the times with her at my residence located I Indonesia. I love to talk with her. She knows everything. She guides me on all the necessary issues. In fact, I am amazed at her solutions. So, I love to talk with her. 5. Johnson is my uncle who is in his 60s and I am a big fan of him. He is my mentor in every respects. He has got a simple look with a cute face. I meet him every day. Actually, we share the same room at home. So, meeting with him is not a big deal for me. I love to have conversations with him for his insights. He can analyze situations perfectly and takes necessary decisions which are highly commendable.    If you can talk about this cue card topic, you should be able to answer the following topics as well: 1.
