Describe Something That you Have Shared With Others- IELTS Cue Card

Describe something that you have shared with others (or another person).

Sample Answer

Well, we all have some issues or secrets which might not eventually remain one. Keeping something under the carpets could be pretty much a task for an extrovert like me who misses no chance to lay my heart bare in front of all. So talking about something that I shared with others, I shared an issue with one of my friends about the problem I was facing in the PG I had rented. So this dates back to the second year of my college when my PG owner started rattling all of the inmates with his irksome activities. He made our lives miserable with his tempestuous behavior and absurd practices such as banging our doors in the middle of the night and shrieking at the top of his voice, etc. Since I have always been pretty vocal about everything, I confronted him for the same to know that he was suffering from a mental infirmity.

I talked about the same to his wife and children and discovered that he has been doing it lately and even they were vexed with this behavior. Since it was relentless to find a good hostel or PG over there, I had no other choice but to stay. This was nettling me now and then and I wasn’t feeling comfortable and that could be seen in my behavior by all of my friends. For a long time, I kept negating and rubbing it off, however, one of my friends finally urged me to share the needle which was causing the pain. I shared all the issues with him and told him about everything that had happened. This felt so light and mirth as if a huge weight got off me.

It was then when he offered me to live with him in his PG as his roommate had left the room. I immediately said yes to that and realized the importance of sharing things with people, especially the ones that pique you.

Sharing things with others gives rise to amiability and fosters good human relations.

Yes, we can share our mobile numbers with others if only they are known to us. I don’t think it’s a good idea to distribute your numbers among strangers. Sharing details with strangers could actually be a harbinger of missteps in life.

• How can parents teach sharing to their children?
