IELTS Cue Card 35: Describe a practical skill you learned recently

It is essential to learn new skills to improve our personality as well as to make a better career. I have learnt some practical skills during school and college days but here I will talk about the skill which I learnt recently. This skill is driving.

Sample 1

I think, practical skills are essential for making a good personality and career. I have learnt many practical skills during school and college days but here I will talk about the skill which I learned recently from my sister.

She is an excellent painter. I have always seen her having interest in paintings which inspired me to try it. She could convey her thoughts through her paintings which are hard to describe in words. So, I approached her to help me paint something. She taught me to use brush, mixing the colours and outlining the objects. Then she taught me how to choose and fill colours.

After painting for 2-3 times, I came to realize that it is not just the painting but the idea behind it is also important. So now, whenever I have spare time, I try to utilize it by making sketches of objects. In recent days, I started feeling more interest in painting and I think it has become my hobby now.

Last month, I made three painting, one of flower which I got framed and gifted to my Aunt and she appreciated me for this beautiful painting. Other two paintings were of solar and wind power operated houses which I posted on Facebook and Instagram and I got 300 likes for these paintings. I can say that I like painting and it is a good activity to remain involved and reduce the stress.

So, this is the skill that I learned recently.

It is essential to learn new skills to improve our personality as well as to make a better career. I have learnt some practical skills during school and college days but here I will talk about the skill which I learnt recently.  This skill is driving.

I could drive a bike or scooter but I didn’t know how to drive a car. We know that driving is an important practical skill which is so much beneficial these days. We need to travel daily; sometimes we need to go by our private vehicles. Going by a cab is too much expensive. Only good way is to learn driving a car.

I remember, two months back, my father was away from home on work. My mother got a medical emergency; we arranged the car but could not arrange a driver. I was regretting why I had not learnt driving a car. So on that day, I made up my mind to learn driving car in coming days.

So I joined a driving school. We have a playground in our Village.I practiced driving there. After 6 weeks, I was able to drive car myself. I was very happy to learn this skill.

I am sure; this skill would help me a lot in rest of my life. I can travel to different places.I can help others in emergency situations. Also, I can support my parents, in case they want to travel somewhere.

So this is the practical skill that I learnt recently.
