Describe something you did that made you feel proud IELTS Cue Card

You should say:

• What it was How you did it
• What difficulty you had
• How you dealt with the difficulty
• And explain why you felt proud of it

What it was

Last year, I helped organize a charity event in my local community to raise funds for underprivileged children’s education. It was the first time I took a leadership role in such a large project, and it meant a lot to me because I’ve always wanted to make a positive impact.

How you did it

I started by forming a small team of volunteers, mostly my friends and classmates. We brainstormed ideas for the event, created a detailed plan, and assigned roles. I personally contacted local businesses to ask for sponsorships and donations. We also used social media platforms to promote the event and spread awareness.

What difficulty you had

One major difficulty was convincing local businesses to sponsor us. Since none of us had experience in fundraising, many sponsors were hesitant to support us at first. Additionally, managing the team was challenging because we all had different schedules and responsibilities.

How you dealt with the difficulty

To overcome these issues, I prepared a professional presentation showing how the event would benefit the community and the businesses themselves in terms of publicity. I also scheduled regular team meetings, even online ones, to keep everyone on track and motivated. Gradually, sponsors came on board, and my team became more organized.

Why you felt proud of it

I felt proud because the event turned out to be a huge success. We raised enough money to provide school supplies and tuition fees for over 50 children. Seeing the smiles on their faces was truly rewarding. It also boosted my confidence and taught me valuable skills like teamwork, communication, and leadership.
