We all love gifts. We send a gift to someone selflessly, only to see a smile on their face. They show our love and care towards a particular person. We all have received plenty of gifts in our lives, most of which we don’t even remember. But some of them are very special for us and hold a special place in our hearts. It is not the price paid for but the efforts a particular person puts in a gift that makes it remarkable.

This topic will take you down memory lane to all the gifts you have received in the past, and then you have to choose one of them as your topic. You may be told to describe a gift from the past, so choose the one attached to the memories that will give you many points to speak about.

Here is some vocabulary that will help you to describe yourself better.

Care package	box of stuff someone sends you, usually because you are away from home or having a tough time
Magnanimous	extremely generous
Lavish	extravagant; very expensive
Reminiscence	the enjoyable recollection of past events.
It is better to give to receive	(saying) it’s a nicer feeling to give someone a present than it is to get one yourself

People give each other presents for many reasons such as the celebration of any event or to show appreciation and gratitude, but the only purpose is to make the other person happy. Hence setting a joyful tone is the key here to score a high band.

Soon after graduating with a Master’s in Literature from Southern Arkansas University, she joined an institute as an English language trainer. She has had innumerous student interactions and has produced a couple of research papers on English language teaching. She soon found that non-native speakers struggled to meet the English language requirements set by foreign universities. It was when she decided to jump ship into IELTS training. From then on, she has been mentoring IELTS aspirants. She joined IELTSMaterial about a year ago, and her contributions have been exceptional. Her essay ideas and vocabulary have taken many students to a band 9.
