Sample 1 Describe a Story Someone Told You and You Remember Speaking Cue Card
I was fond of stories in my childhood, and my grandmother used to tell stories to me, especially at night. I had a habit of listening to stories before going to sleep. Today I will let you know about one of the stories I listen to in my childhood.
The story was named thirsty crow. This is a story of a crow who was looking for water to quell his thirst. After searching a lot, he found one pot of water. But the water in that pot was very limited, and the level of water was very low that the crow was unable to drink it. Because of the shape of the pot, it had a very small opening that crow was unable to insert its beak to that low level. After thinking so much, he saw some pebbles near to that pot, and he got an idea. He started picking those pebbles one by one and threw them in the pot.
After throwing a few pebbles, water started rising, and the crow got excited; he continued throwing pebbles inside the pot until the water reached to level which is suitable for drinking. Once the water reached the desired level, he drank that water and flew away. This story tells about the cleverness of crows and how nature gives us so much strength or power to solve our problems.
I still remember this story clearly because I listened to it several times from my grandmother, and it teaches us to fight with our problem and try to search for a solution rather than accepting our defeat. This is a very motivational story and strengthens you to face any problem of life and resolve it.
