The Gift I chose

CARD 9
SPEAKING
Speak about giving feedback.
Giving feedback is a vital business communication skill. It is a two-way process of giving efficiently or receiving it constructively. Feedback is an essential part of business, education, and business trainings.

Usually, hearing the name of feedback creates a horrible picture in our mind of an employee being called upon at his superior’s office for the yearly or monthly performance appraisal, and he is lashed with severe criticism and daunting expressions from his boss. It is indeed, not the right method.

Feedback, if given in an efficient manner proves very motivating and helps in personal development. The employee receiving the feedback comes to know about his weak points, his strengths, the areas which need improvement, and the way he can further improve his performance. We mostly consider that feedback is only from the superior’s side to his subordinates, but, it is something that should occur in both directions. From top to bottom as well as from bottom to top level.
WRITING
Write an essay about a website you like to visit (100 words)

I hardly know or meet people who don’t like food. In fact, the idea of trying different kinds of food from different cultures and countries has become so popular among some people around the world that they don’t mind spending a lot of their time and money to learn about them. In fact, I also do the same, but I do it mostly by visiting some great cooking and food-related websites. Today, I would like to write about one such website that I visit from time to time and find really useful
The website contains recipes and food ideas pretty much from all over the world. The contents on the website are so unique and appealing that it would be almost impossible for someone to leave the website without having an urge to cook them sometimes on their own. Besides, the images and videos of different food dishes on this website are simply outstanding. In fact, just by looking at these pictures on this website or watching a video, one would automatically feel the urge to go into a kitchen even if he/she never liked cooking in the past. The website also contains all kinds of information as to what kinds of food is perfect for any possible occasions, a person could ever think of.
I find this website useful, mainly because it allows me to change my taste in foods without running to an expensive restaurant. Besides, it allows me and my family to surprise our friends and relatives by serving them some unique dishes, when they expect them in the least, which makes me so happy.
