Talk About A Traditional Object Of Your Country: IELTS Speaking Cue Card

Mysore Pak is one of the ancient and traditional sweets of our country. It is made with ghee and flour. It originated from Mysore and it has an interesting story behind it. The king's chef was left out of ingredients when the king asked him to make a sweet dish. So the chef just prepared it with the leftover ingredients he had and presented it to the king. The king loved the Mysore Pak and he named it after the place. From then on it has become very famous and it is almost served in every festival we have. It is a very delicious sweet and I first tried it when I went to Mysore and I also learned about its history. The history fascinated me and also the sweet couldn't stop me from getting one more and one more. It was damn tasty. I was relishing every bite of it. It also represents Mysore's rich culture and tradition. I would definitely recommend everyone to try this Mysore Pak.

Well, this is an interesting question. There are many types of traditional objects are present in my country. And if you ask anyone, then I prefer to say about a mirror. A particular mirror that is produced by some local communities in my native place. It was truly inspiring. They put a lot of effort for making mirrors. And it is traditionally a very big place in our country. You know, if any kind of occasions occur, people provide this mirror as a gift. And this shows the value of our tradition as well as culture. In recent time, our president who meet another president on that occasion, and he provide this mirror as a gift. I don't know, I truly inspired a lot. You know, every traditional object has its own value. We truly admire that matter very properly. And the way of preparation is very difficult. And it needs so much of talent as well as patience. This was made by some local communities and who devoted their time and energy for making these sorts of objects. And the ingredients are quite sacred. They didn't provide an opportunity to explore their facts. But it's truly unbelievable fact because they are making the mirror from a clay. And you know, it was truly admirable factor and it is really captivated. Once I was a child, I visited such a place in my along with my mother. It was a red letter day in my life because I couldn't forget that matter the way of preparation. They showed the preparation, but in between they hide some matter. So that is the technique that they followed.

The traditional object that I would like to mention is a Tia. In my country India, the Tia is a part of almost every household across the country. It is made in a similar way to a candle, but it is made of using household items unlike wax. The significance of it is in the roots of Indian culture, in our history, in our present as well as the future prospect. The light displays the overcome of darkness by light and it also illuminates the path for our future. In religious essence as well, the Tia is considered a sign of prosperity and the main base of how a person tackles the darkness and gets through the dark time. The Tia is found on special occasions in more abundance. The festival of Diwali, considered the festival of light, finds numerous Tias, Divas being enlightened in all the households all over India and across the globe. Which makes it one of the most traditionally rich and serene objects of our country.

So the traditional object in my country that I really like is the architecture of Taj Mahal, I would say. It's really beautiful the way it has been made. All that white exquisite marble that has been used at that era of that time was simply a really fantastic job that everybody did that time and it was built during the Mughal Empire in India by a person called Shah Jahan who was the ruler that time and he built this when her wife died, Mumtaz, and he built the Taj Mahal to bury her wife in a really beautiful manner and it was a show of love and I would say Taj Mahal in itself is an epitome of love that he showed to the world that how much he loved his wife and how I got to know about all this I went on a school trip with my teachers and I went there and I just saw that Mumtaz grave there and it made me really emotional when I saw that like a person with so much love could do for a person who has died just for making a good resting place for her loved one and it is the reason I loved it another is one of the nine wonders in the world second it's really beautiful the way it has been architect the way it has been seen the calligraphy on that Taj Mahal everything is so epic and so precise and sharp it's like

So for traditional objects, I don't know if it is counted as an object or not but there is one famous dhoti kurta attire of our country which is very much representative of our country because almost in every part of the country people wear that although they are made from different materials depending on that area and the traditions that they follow. It is very beautiful and it is mainly made because in olden days India had very bad weather and so people used to feel very much hot on the daytime while on the counterpart in the night people used to feel very much colder so to match that they made a special attire for that and it is called dhoti kurta. In my part it is made from cotton because in my area almost 8 to 10 months there is more of summer and hotter temperature like above 40 degrees and for the rest part only there is winter while on the other northern side this can be made from wool also depending on their tradition. One iconic figure is Mahatma Gandhi ji who used to have a charkha in their home and they used to make it themselves and motivated every Indian to have it in every home so that whenever they are free they can make and even sell to others so they can have an income and an art source and this can also perfectly represent India that everyone at least have one art form that they are confident enough and then they can produce and at least have food in their hand when other income source don't work.

A traditional object that I recently purchased is the dancing doll from Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu. So this particular doll is a traditional object in my country because this doll, they used to keep it at home. And we usually feel that we give more emphasis to the tradition when we have this doll at home. And this was actually a gift from my cousin. So she gifted me this particular doll on my birthday. So it's actually a special one because Leila, the cousin of mine, she came from Singapore to India for a work. And suddenly she visited me on my birthday and gave me this present which was an unexpected one. So this particular gift, I placed it on the top of the shelf. It has taken a best place in my shelf because I don't place everything in my cupboard. So this one has taken a leading place among my showpieces. It has this dancing head. So as you see that for a while you can feel your head to be a bit light because all your stress runs away. And you can feel that you have some light-headedness. And furthermore it doesn't suit you, it doesn't take so much of your time to spend towards it. So my son loves this particular gift. And this is a traditional object which everyone has to keep it. And for sure you can use it and you will be benefited out of it because as soon as you come from work, if you spend two or three minutes seeing that, you can feel your stress running off and you have some peace of mind towards your work and the other household chores.

details and everything So talking about my favorite traditional object of the country I think those would be definitely Pashmina shawls that come from Kashmir so Pashmina shawls are essentially shawls that are made from a special kind of coat called the Pashmina coat and The wool is woven together on a yarn They're extremely light very insulating some of the interesting qualities are that they keep you cool during the summers and warm during the winters. I first tried them when I visited Kashmir about five years ago and It was extremely interesting to see the kind of art that is present there and the kind of intricacies and the handwork that goes into these Pashmina shawls The concept of Pashmina shawls being so scientifically interesting Having these insulating properties and also having real-world use is Extremely exciting to me and hence we also bought a Pashmina shawl from there one of the favorite and most interesting things of Pashmina shawl is that it just Passes through a link like butter. It's extremely light to carry and it can be used by men as well as women so yeah, Pashmina shawls are absolutely one of the highlights of My Token of appreciation that I got from Kashmir when on my last trip Yeah, so the Pashmina shawl that I have is black in color with various animals done on it with a special kind of Indian art form called Zardozi where glittered strings are used in order to weave those animals into the Pashmina shawl and these Pashmina shawls are extremely comfortable in nature
