IELTS Speaking Part 2 Model Answer (Talk about a time when you received money as a gift from a family member)

The question below came from Canada, but was also seen in many other countries. This model answer shows a great way to respond, should you get such question in your own exam.


Speaking test, Part 2 (Cue Card)

Talk about a time when you received money as a gift from a family member. You should say
 
- when you received the gift
- why you receive it
- what you did with the money

and explain how you felt about receiving money as a gift.

Answer

I will never forget the time when I received money from my grandmother on my 18th birthday. We had a party at my parents' house, and she gave me a thick envelope with a generous amount of cash. I remember thinking that I had never received that much money as a gift.

I pulled her aside to say a very big thank you, and then she told me that turning 18 is a milestone like no other, and that she felt blessed to be able to see me step into adult life. She wanted to give me something meaningful and useful. She also wanted to give me the freedom to choose how to use it best. This money was her way of supporting me in a new chapter of my life, as I was about to start university.

Her money really helped me out. I decided to put part of it into my savings account for future needs, like university expenses and emergencies. My laptop was quite old, slow, and outdated, so I used some of the money to buy a new one that would last me through my university years. This laptop turned out to be incredibly useful for my coursework, research, and even some entertainment.

Receiving money as a gift felt a bit strange at first because I usually got more traditional presents, like books or clothes. In my family, gifting money is considered impersonal, and we usually try to put some thought into picking the right gift for the person to show how much we care about them. But this time was different, and what made it special was the gift of trust from my grandmother to me. It showed me that she trusted me to use the money wisely, which was a boost to my confidence. This is why I think of it as one of the most meaningful gifts I have ever received.

1. Why do you think people like taking photos of themselves and others?
I’d say there are a couple of reasons. First, we take photographs to keep a visual record of our lives – especially the most exciting or interesting moments, like parties, holidays and big events. Second, I think we all like to look at photos of ourselves, to see what we look like and perhaps to analyse ourselves and work out who we are or who we were in the past. For example, when I look at photographs of myself 10 years ago, I find myself wondering what I was thinking back then and how much I’ve changed.

2. Do you think it’s ever worth hiring a professional photographer?
Yes, for certain special occasions I definitely think it’s best to pay a professional to take photos. A professional photographer is likely to have a better camera and related equipment, and you would hope that the end result will be a set of stunning photographs. Thinking back to a wedding that I attended last summer, I remember that the photographer knew exactly what he was doing, and he took some great pictures of the bride, groom and guests.

3. What are the advantages of taking photos on a mobile phone instead of on a normal camera?
Well, the obvious advantage is that you don’t have to carry an extra piece of equipment with you. Most of us have smartphones with excellent cameras in our pockets, so we’re ready to take a photo at any time. Another huge advantage is that we can take a photo and immediately send it to other people via text message or social media.

🔹Why do big companies introduce new products frequently?

There are several reasons for that. Above all else, companies need to stay competitive in a rapidly changing market. For example, mobile phone manufacturers need to present new models in order to keep their market share. Another reason is that they can generate more revenue. New products mean new customers and more sales.

🔹Why are people so keen on buying iPhones even though they haven't changed much from one to the next?
Recently, owning the latest iPhone is often seen as a status symbol. Some people believe that having these new devices makes them appear wealthier and more prestigious in society. Having said that, some customers enjoy this brand's quality and reliability. So they might prefer sticking with a brand that has consistently met their expectations.
