 EXAMPLE ANSWER TOPIC CARD. (2
MINUTES NON STOP)
OK, so you asked me to talk about an achievement I'm particularly proud of, so I could have talked about when I passed
my driver's license test, or when I bought my first car, but in the end, I decided to talk about the only time I actually
won a sports tournament.

Only once did I win my village chess tournament. It was when I was sixteen years old. It was particularly difficult
because, to be honest, I'm not a great chess player and I always played mainly to have fun and not really to win. But that
one year I decided. I made it my goal: I was going to win the village chess tournament. So I played many games,
lots of them against older players, much older than me, who were members of the club, in their fifties, and it was
very difficult. Playing older players is always tough. They have more experience, they do all these impressive
tricks and they definitely know how to beat their opponent. And on top of that it's very much a matter of pride
for them - they don't want to lose against one of the younger members of the club.

But anyway, I won a few games against older players and then I ended up playing the final against my best friend. And
that was another difficulty. He was my best friend so I didn't want to play it too mean with him but at the same
time I wanted to win. At least the fact that he was my best friend meant that I knew exactly how to beat him, though,
because I had played against him many times before. We had a very long game and it was nerve-wracking. It wasn't very
good game but in the end I won.

I'm very proud of my achievement because I managed to reach the goal I set for myself and it was something that

Getting a low score the first time I took IELTS Something positive that is not recognized until
