Part 2 (Long Turn / Cue Card)

Describe a time when you gave someone advice. You should say:

 who you gave advice to

 what the advice was

 why you gave the advice

 and explain how they felt about your advice.

Last year, I gave advice to my cousin about choosing a university course. He wasn’t sure what to study, so I suggested he pick something he really enjoys and is good at. I gave this advice because I made the same mistake before by choosing something just for money. He felt grateful for my advice and finally chose a course he’s really happy with.

Do you think it’s better to get advice from friends or family?

It depends — friends understand you, but family knows you deeply.

Why do people sometimes ignore advice?

Because they want to do things their own way or they think they know better
