Tips to answer this Cue Card

1: Avoid Vague Descriptions

Using vague language makes your answer less engaging. Instead of saying the person is 'nice', describe specific traits or actions that demonstrate their energy.

Tip

Use specific examples and adjectives to illustrate the person's energetic nature, such as 'enthusiastic', 'motivating', or 'always active'.

2: Don't Rush Your Answer

Rushing through your response can lead to unclear communication. It may also make you miss important details about the person.

Tip

Take a moment to organize your thoughts before speaking. Use phrases like 'Let me explain' to give yourself time to think.

Neglecting Personal Feelings

Failing to express your feelings about the person can make your answer less personal and relatable. It's important to connect emotionally.

Tip

Share your feelings by saying things like 'I admire this person because...' or 'I feel inspired when I see them...'.

Describe a book you recently read

Answer

It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.
