Cue Card # 6

Question:

Describe a person who you think is very open

- Who this person is

- How you know this person

- Why do you think this person is very open

- And explain how you feel about this person

Suggestive Answer:

I think very few people today are open and frank.

I myself am not very open and I don't find it easy to express my feelings.

But I really think that my mother is a very open person.

I have experienced her straightforward nature many times.

She doesn't hide her thoughts and feelings. She openly expresses them.

For example, I recently made a cake.

She found it too sweet and when I asked for her opinion, she clearly said she didn't like it.

And she isn't like that with us family members only, but others also.

She speaks her mind.

Sometimes people get offended due to this too.

But as people get to know her, they understand that she is just being straight forward and

her intention is to help and not to insult.

Over the years, I have found that more and more people appreciate her for

straightforwardness rather than take offense.

Her straightforward and direct nature is also a reason, many of our relatives and neighbours

come and share their worries with her.

They know she will speak her mind.

I think it requires a lot of courage for a person to be open and direct.

I care too much about other people's feelings and as a result sometimes I lie or make

promises I can't keep.

My mother never does that, and I think she is really brave deep-down.

She is very secure about herself and she is not afraid to show her true self to people.

I really wish I could be more open like that.
