Sample Answer for cue card A product you bought that was difficult to use in the beginning
Sample Answer (A product you bought that was difficult to use in the beginning):
Last September it was my grandmother’s birthday. So, I decided to gift her a mobile phone. I searched on various shops and also searched through the net to make a purchase. Finally, I decided to buy a senior citizen’s cell phone.
It was described that it had big buttons, big icons, and not too many functions. I placed an order with Amazon and this phone was delivered within 3 days. When I showed it to my grandmother, she was very happy, and I was also very excited that she will start using it immediately.
My grandmother had never used a cell phone and she was very hesitant to handle it initially. Many times, she would press the wrong buttons and then feel frustrated with the gadget. I also tried to teach her, but this phone was very different from the one that I was using. Even I had a lot of difficulties getting to know its features. The senior citizen version just meant bold buttons and a slightly big size. Nothing else was easy.
So, I had to go through the user manual to explain the functions to her. I realized It came with pre-loaded with some books and some devotional music She immediately liked this function and started using it. Another difficulty I overcame was that I adjusted the light and the font the size to her liking. Gradually she got accustomed to using it.
Now she has started using it and now it has become her favorite pastime. Now I am fully content with it because I’ve learned how to use it and my grandmother also has got the hang of it.
Sample Answer (A product you bought that was difficult to use in the beginning):
I am an avid reader and like to read books on various subjects, like philosophy fiction and science fiction. Whenever I travel, I like to carry a book with me and many times it becomes difficult as some books are heavy and thick.
Last September when I was shopping, I came across Kindle Paperwhite, a gadget by Amazon. It comes preloaded with some books and some others one can buy as e-books at a comparatively cheaper cost. I bought it immediately without second thoughts as it suited my requirement perfectly.
When I reached home I realized that I had purchased one without a backlight. It needed artificial light to be read easily. Also, when I tried to flip the leaves it was difficult. Initially, so very often, I would jump a few pages. Another difficulty I faced at the initial stages was that it needed some practice to adjust the font size and other aspects of book reading. But there is no denying the fact that it is the most convenient gadget to be carried when you are on the go.
Gradually I got accustomed to it. Now I can read my favorite magazines and newspapers also on Kindle. Although I am not fully content with the performance of Kindle reading, especially the particular version that I have purchased, yet I would rate it to be a value-for-money purchase.
