Describe An Interesting Talk Or A Lecture You Have Heard Cue Card

What was it about?

The lecture consisted of some valuable and priceless information. The scientists explicitly discussed how global warming and climate change are impacting the environment and Earth. How the greenhouse gases and their effects are affecting the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. As a result, the ice sheets are melting, and eventually, there is a rise in sea levels across the world. Not only that, the wildlife around the world is witnessing extinction, and some of the unique species have already vanished from the Earth. All these are happening due to extreme weather conditions.

At the end of the show, the elite scientist warned all the human beings around the world about how if we don’t take immediate action, the world will cease. She explained how humans need to change their lifestyles, and incorporate environment-friendly activities to survive. She talked about climatic change events like El Nino, and how previously the changes took thousands of years to occur. Now the changes are only taking a decade to occur. The lecture was really interesting and quite impactful for me.

What was it about?

I randomly went to check the list of performances for the day. I was quite surprised to see the topic of the lecture that was supposed to happen, it was ‘happiness’. The person who was going to speak on this topic was a Psychologist. I am personally interested in anything about mental health awareness. That lecture did interest me and I thought of attending it. In fact, I was quite excited to attend the lecture. The lecture started with simple but intriguing questions ‘what makes us happy?’ and ‘what makes us want to be happy?’. She then proceeded with different examples of things that made people happy, like shopping, buying books, games, jewelry, and more. Then she explained how buying materialistic things actually don’t make us happy. We live in a delusion where we believe that buying things or experiencing services will make us happy. But the truth is, this is just anticipation, the actual feeling of happiness comes from within.

She explained in a very subtle way that everybody was able to grasp what was being told. She provided a few numbers, and data, and told how most of the people across the world are the fact - In order to be happy, one needs to suffer. There was a guy who put up a very meaningful question asking, why do people run after purchasing when eventually they have to leave everything behind? The psychologist beautifully explained how it is a human being’s nature to run after things to find meaning. Although, they should not become greedy while in the course of purchasing. That lecture is the most interesting one that I’ve ever heard to date.
