Band 9 Model Answer to Talk about an own thing which would like to remove IELTS Cue Card

One thing that I would like to remove is my tendency to compare myself to others. It’s a habit that I’ve had for a long time and I’ve come to realize that it’s not only unproductive, but it also causes me a great deal of stress and anxiety.

The tendency to compare myself to others comes in many forms, whether it’s comparing my achievements, appearance, or even my relationships. It often leads to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. I’ve come to realize that this habit not only affects my mental health but also hinders my ability to appreciate my own progress and accomplishments.

I want to change this tendency because it’s holding me back from fully enjoying and appreciating my life. I want to focus on my own journey and progress rather than constantly comparing it to others. To overcome this habit, I’ve been trying to be more mindful of my thoughts and actions and to focus on gratitude and appreciation for what I have. Additionally, I’ve been trying to surround myself with positive and supportive people who will help me to build my confidence and self-esteem.

In conclusion, I believe that by being more mindful and taking active steps to change my mindset, I can overcome this tendency to compare myself to others and lead a happier and more fulfilling life.
