Describe a book you want to write (IELTS Cue Card)
- When you had this idea What kind of book do you want to write
- Is it difficult or easy And explain why you want to write this kind of book
It’s an uphill task for me to write a book, I am very fond of Punjabi food and my grandmother is an excellent cook.
She also maintains a diary with various recipes for food and traditional medicine. If I have to write a book, I would like to compile all her recipes in one place and index them. It will not be easy since her recipes are in Punjabi and hand-written on very old notebooks. She inherited this knowledge from her grandmother. The writing and ink has faded with time but their efficacy has not reduced. Whenever someone is hosting a party or is feeling unwell in our village, they consult my grandmother. In fact, once there was a cooking competition in my school. I used her recipe to make a lemon pickle and everyone who tasted it was licking their fingers. I won the first prize, all thanks to her recipe.
There are other incidents as well where her knowledge has helped people. Once a child from our village had very low blood count because of dengue. My grandmother suggested a soup of boiled Papaya leaves and overnight his health improved. She taught me that sharing knowledge and wisdom is our moral responsibility. These recipes will benefit everyone and help in passing on the knowledge. Just thinking about it, makes me excited. I will dedicate this book to my grandmother
