Describe an important lesson you learned in primary school. v. 1
Describe an important lesson you learned in primary school. You should say: what is it when you learned it how you learned it and explain how it became important in your future life.   Model Answer 1: Not sure about others, but it was a blessing for me to have an opportunity to attend a great primary school, while growing up as a young boy, where I learned a number of important life lessons. Today, I would like to talk about one such an important lesson. The lesson, I learned, was that we should all remain true to ourselves always. Of course, I already knew that telling the truth to others was very important, but I wasn’t familiar with the idea of being true to myself until I reached 5th grade. In fact, I learned about this important lesson in a rather hard way when I failed to finish my own science project on time. Anyway, the science project, I chose, was a rather difficult one. However, before assigning the project, my science teacher had repeatedly asked me if I was able to finish it on time as it was a difficult one. But, I pretended that I was fully capable of pulling off any project, no matter how difficult it was, even though I knew that the project would pose a major challenge to me. I still accepted that project only because I didn’t want to show my weaknesses to others. Besides, I also wanted to create some “wow” factor among my classmates. But, as the time for submitting the project was approaching, I was becoming nervous because I wasn’t going anywhere close to finishing my project. So, I asked for some additional time from my teacher, and he agreed. But, I still couldn’t finish the project on time, leaving me embarrassed in front of my other classmates. And, at that time, I realized that I should have been true to myself, having some clear idea about my own ability and skills. Anyway, the lesson, I learned in my primary school, had always forced me since to analyse any situation thoroughly by taking time before making any decision whether they were big or small. Besides, this particular lesson also had taught me to be humble in front of others even if I had enough reasons to boast.   Sample Answer 2: Primary school is our first academic educational place and we start learning many new things from there. This is the place where the base of a student is made and that’s why things we learn in our primary school last for a long. One important lesson that I learned from my primary school is the value of time. In every stage of our life, we have to value the time we have and this lesson has helped me throughout my life.   I learned it throughout the 4-5 years I studied in primary school. I was only 5 years old when I first got admitted into primary school and had been there till I became 10 years old. I have heard it from many teachers of my primary school. They told lots of stories and gave examples from history and real events about the value of time. From my experience, I have also learned and understood it. If fact our lives are nothing but a sum of time. We come here for a predefined amount of time and we have so many things to accomplish and do to make our lives meaningful. We have our duties and responsibilities and those duties and responsibilities changes and expands with time. So being able to do things in their perfect time is the main mantra of life. From my experience, I have learned that time is priceless and we can never get it back once gone. So utilising it is the most important task in our life. Everything has its perfect time to be done and no matter what we do and how much effort we put, later on, we can’t change the actions we take with times. I have learned that, if I neglect the time and keep undone things that I should have done, it comes back to us like a boomerang. Accomplishing thing in time and doing them with dedication is the first rule to achieve success. Whenever I have values time and worked accordingly, I had been able to fulfil my aim and expectation. When I neglected time and kept things undone, I regretted it. From those experiences, I have started valuing time and that has brought me several successes that I desired. I still try to value my times and thus I can save myself from regretting later.     Similar Cue Card Topics Your ability to talk about this Cue Card Topic would also enable you to talk about the following Cue Card Topics as well:   Describe something you learned from school.
