Describe something that makes you excited and happy. v. 1
Describe something that makes you excited and happy. You should say: what it is how you feel excited and happy about it how often you do it and explain why this makes you excited and happy.   Model Answer 1: I am actually a simple guy, so it doesn’t really take much for me to feel happy or excited whether I am reading a story teller or just going to eat some nice meal at a good restaurant. But, today, I would like to talk about a thing which, I think, makes me happier than anything else. This thing, I am talking about, is travelling. Yes, I just love travelling. In fact, I just wish that I had a lot of money so that I could travel all of my life. But, unfortunately, I have to work to earn my living and on top of that, I am not a rich person either. So, that means I have to plan well in advance in order to save up some money for doing some travelling. Of course, it is not that I want to travel every place that I learn about after reading about them on some books or by watching different kinds of travel-related programmes on TV, but rather I like to travel only those places that are absolutely unique and different from other places. However, the funny thing is that it is actually the anticipation of travelling to a new place which makes me happier rather than actually visiting the place, probably because once I visit that place, the excitement will just simply vanish away. But, still, I like to travel as often as I can, especially, when I get the yearly vacation from my work. So, I guess that visiting more than once a year is something I can hardly afford. Anyway, travelling makes me happy, mainly because it allows me to become familiar with the different kinds of cultures and lifestyles of different kinds of people. Besides, it also allows me to develop an appreciation for people, who are different from me, while also allowing me to find some better career opportunities. Finally, it makes me happy and excited because travelling allows me to extend my hands of friendship to other people who I have never met before. After all, who don’t like to make new friends and learn about new things?   Sample Answer 2: Playing computer games, especially strategy games make me excited and happy. This might sound a bit odd but I often find a great deal of excitement playing computer games with my friends over the computer network. I do not play computer games that much nowadays. But in my college and university years, I often played computer games with my friends after the semester end. This was great excitement for me and still, it is exciting to me. I usually play computer games once a month when my and my friends' schedule matches. Playing strategy games is exciting by it’s the activities it involves and by the completion a gamer has to face. The gamer is the ultimate controller of the gaming characters and fighting, bloodsheds, cultivation, collecting resources in a virtual world gives me a feeling of controlling and leading a whole nation. Since we play in a network, there is a great competition among the friends to build an empire and then to fight hard to survive. By its very nature, computer games, especially strategy games, are exciting.   Similar Cue Card Topics Your ability to talk about this Cue Card would enable you to talk about the following Cue Cards as well: Describe an unusual or exciting thing you did recently.   Describe an activity you enjoy doing.   Describe something that you are passionate about.   Describe your favourite past time.

Describe
something that
makes
you
excited
and
happy
. You should say: what it is how you feel
excited
and
happy

often
you do it and
explain
why this
makes
you
excited
and
happy
.
 
Model Answer 1:

I am
actually
a simple guy,
so
it doesn’t
really
take much for me to feel
happy
or
excited
whether I am reading a
story teller
or
just
going to eat
some
nice meal at a
good
restaurant.
But
,
today
, I would like to talk about a thing which, I
think
,
makes
me happier than anything else.

This thing, I am talking about, is
travelling
. Yes, I
just
love
travelling
. In fact, I
just
wish that I had
a lot of
money
so
that I could
travel
all of my life.
But
, unfortunately, I
have to
work to earn my living and
on top of that
, I am not a rich person either.
So
, that means I
have to
plan
well
in advance in order to save up
some
money for doing
some
travelling.

Of course
, it is not that I want to
travel
every
place
that I learn about after reading about them on
some
books or by watching
different
kinds of travel-related
programmes
on TV,
but
rather
I like to
travel
only
those
places
that are
absolutely
unique and
different
from other
places
.
However
, the
funny
thing is that it is
actually
the anticipation of
travelling
to a new
place
which
makes
me happier
rather
than
actually
visiting the
place
,
probably
because
once I visit that
place
, the excitement will
just
simply
vanish away.
But
,
still
, I like to
travel
as
often
as I can,
especially
, when I
get
the yearly vacation from my work.
So
,
I guess
that visiting more than once a year is something I can hardly afford.

Anyway
,
travelling
makes
me
happy
,
mainly
because
it
allows
me to become familiar with the
different
kinds of cultures and lifestyles of
different
kinds of
people
.
Besides
, it
also
allows
me to develop an appreciation for
people
, who are
different
from me, while
also
allowing me to find
some
better career opportunities.
Finally
, it
makes
me
happy
and
excited
because
travelling
allows
me to extend my hands of friendship to other
people
who I have never met
before
.
After all
, who don’t like to
make
new
friends
and learn about new things?
 
Sample Answer 2:

Playing computer
games
,
especially
strategy
games
make
me
excited
and
happy
. This might sound a bit odd
but
I
often
find a great deal of excitement playing computer
games
with my
friends
over the computer network. I do not play computer
games
that much nowadays.
But
in my college and university years, I
often
played computer
games
with my
friends
after the semester
end
. This was great excitement for me and
still
, it is
exciting
to me. I
usually
play computer
games
once a month when my and my friends' schedule matches.

Playing strategy
games
is
exciting
by
it’s
the activities it involves and by the completion a gamer
has to
face. The gamer is the ultimate controller of the gaming characters and fighting,
bloodsheds
, cultivation, collecting resources in a virtual world gives me a feeling of controlling and leading a whole nation. Since we play in a network, there is a great competition among the
friends
to build an empire and then to fight
hard
to survive. By its
very
nature, computer
games
,
especially
strategy
