Describe an advice you received on your subjects or work (IELTS CUE CARD Jan to April 2020)

You should say:

  • Who advised you
  • What advice did he give
  • Are you happy with the advice

Models Answer:

  • Everyone faces situations when one is in a dilemma and needs help in deciding things.
  • I remember, after my schooling, I was confused about what course should I opt for my further studies as I did not want to opt for traditional courses like engineering or medicine.
  • I wanted an option which would provide me a bright future and at the same time should be interesting as well.
  • I searched a lot on the internet about alternative courses and colleges but as there was too much information, i got more confused.
  • So, I decided to consult my elder sister who is living in Canada.
  • She is working in the Media and entertainment industry.
  • When I asked her for advice, she suggested me to pursue a course in Animation as she knew about my interests in this field.
  • She also suggested me some good colleges in Canada for this course and she explained me about the job opportunities that I will get after completing this course.
  • Animation is quite popular these days and in future there will be a huge demand for people who are certified in this field.
  • My family also liked the idea when I told them that I have finally decided to pursue a course in Animation.
  • So, this was the advice that my sister gave on a crucial decision of my life.
