Describe an argument you overheard: IELTS Speaking Cue Card

I overheard an argument between two friends this morning at a coffee shop. It is because they agreed, they negotiated to go out to hang out but one of them was not able to come and she haven't communicated it properly that she can't come by the time. So the other one got upset about this because the other one was saying that it was happening often that she felt disrespected about it. So the other one who did this accepted that she could have communicated properly but yeah she hadn't done that intent on purpose to hurt her. So she could have, she agreed that she could have communicated it properly, communicated it better. So finally they agreed, finally they seem to have good care about one, about each other. So they agreed to improve the communication between them.

An argument I overheard recently was between two of my neighbours. One evening I was heading for a bath and I heard a sudden noise of certain things breaking and I went to look what it was through the window near my bedroom and at that time I saw my two neighbours arguing with each other and one was throwing certain things at the other's premises and while overhearing the things they were uttering towards each other, I came to the conclusion that they were arguing over the waste disposal of one's house. It started with a silly talk and it got worse over time. Then both of them started to physically attack each other and one of the lady's husband came and took her inside the house but the other lady kept arguing and eventually her family members also came and took her inside. That's how the argument ended. Even though I overheard the whole conversation, I didn't get personally involved in that because I barely knew the people and the real reason for their fight as these people usually argue with each other a lot.

Recently I heard an argument between my neighbors. One of the neighbors had a problem because he leaves around 8 a.m. in the morning and his car couldn't get out because there was another two-wheeler blocking the gate. So neighbor one went to neighbor two and started yelling and cussing to remove his two-wheeler. Even though the arrangement were already made specific by the land owner, it seems a lot more resolvable. They could have easily understood each other and not yell and cuss in the morning. However, the land owner resolved it by making sure that the two-wheeler is parked at the back of the parking and the car is parked at the front. They basically exchange the space of parking so it will be more convenient for both of them and everyone around the neighborhood. I do think in case of an argument one shouldn't disturb the neighborhood's peace especially in the morning. Half of the arguments are easily solvable. Rather than going up front and blaming somebody should be discussed in a more adult manner.

Well, talking about this particular question, the argument which I overheard earlier, it was argument between my two elder brothers. So they were just discussing about the event which is going to happen related to marriage. And that time my elder brother was not convinced with my one of the elder brothers, so there was argument between them. And moreover this argument continued last two hours. So that time I intervened the argument and tried to resolve it by saying that we will definitely going to look whatever that other person is saying. So if it not get, what I mean trying to say is, if the solution is not appropriate, we will definitely find that other alternatives and we should give a chance to consider their ideas. So through this way I tried to solve the argument. Apart from that I would say that whenever such argument in my family, I used to stay apart from it. What usually happens once we intervene in such argument, this become very difficult to handle it. And sometimes it happens that argument comes to us that we just trap into this argument and lose our temperament. So that's the one reason I usually stay away from such incident. Another thing I would like to say that we should all avoid doing argument.

An argument I overheard was between a local boy and one uncle. This happened a couple of days ago. This incident was related to this local boy creating a big issue with this local uncle. So I saw them both riding two different vehicles, a two wheeler, where the uncle was going very normally, peacefully in one side and then the local boy is going on his way very rashly. He was riding very rashly and he himself hit the uncle's bike and immediately stopped his bike and the uncle's bike and got down so harshly, yelled at uncle, snatched uncle's key and started shouting at him, scolding at him, without even respecting the uncle's age and without even thinking about what he did was wrong and it was his mistake and it was his fault, nothing. He was just behaving so rudely that everybody noticed but since he was a local boy, nobody could speak against him and this issue was tried to be resolved by so many other members who were watching the fight which happened. It was not exactly a fight but it was his fault. Everybody was trying to convince him, he wasn't listening to anyone, he was shouting at everyone. There was a policeman nearby, so some other public called the policeman and the policeman helped them calm down and then the local boy is not ready to listen to the policeman as well. Then the policeman softly convinced him and took them both to the hospital.

An argument which I overheard recently was in my own workplace, where a senior teacher, also my colleague, got involved with a very nasty and gruesome argument with the management of the Nivedita Institute of Nursing Sciences. So basically the argument was about the wrong things that they had been doing to the senior teacher. According to the senior teacher, the management was not listening. Moreover, the management had...

The argument that I overheard was in a restaurant. What happened is, it started off as an argument, then it eventually turned into a hand-in-hand fight. It was for the silliest reason you could ever imagine. What happened was, the person sitting in the customer lane, they asked the waiter if they can get more curry, extra curry. This is very usual. So we had to come out of the restaurant, without even washing the hand, we were waiting outside the restaurant, seeing when will the fight be over, I just want to wash my hand and leave this place. This happened. This is the most outlandish argument which turned into a fight that I remember.
