PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Gurdwyal Kumar.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Gurdeyal.
Do you like the area that you live in currently?
I have recently moved to Indira Nagar in Adyar. I purchased an apartment here after I got a hike in my Company. It is covered by trees on both sides of the road. It is quite sedate. I take pride in myself for buying an apartment here.
Do you know any famous people in your local area?
Well, I know some people from the Exnora and Rotary clubs. I love to get indulged in Exnora’s activities like planting saplings and join the rotary club in its service-oriented activities.
Where do you like to go, in that area?
Adyar is quite big. I want to go to Lattice Bridge road where there are merchants of different types. It is a bustling road, but I love to take an evening stroll. It is intriguing to see people roaming busily across the street.
What are some recent changes in your local area?
There are lots of boutiques coming up. Also, I saw a new beauty parlour on my way home last night. Some residents have sold their houses, and flats are being constructed in those places.
What is the hardest part of making plans?
It’s about prioritizing. It isn’t easy to decide the order in which you have to take up the tasks. I often keep wondering whether I should do yoga first or prepare breakfast.
What is the most recent plan you made?
I made a travel plan to Bylaguppe, which is on the way to Madikeri. We were a group of four. We planned to travel in my car, and I made the hotel arrangements too. Since it is a Tibetan settlement, we were on the lookout for authentic Indian food. I was successful in booking lodging near an Indian restaurant. It was a walk able distance to the restaurant, and my friends appreciated me for it.
Do you make plans every day?
Well, it’s not that I make a plan, but things seem to work out in order. I would say I got used to the routine. I rarely do anything out of the ordinary, so you can call me well-planned too.
Are you good at managing your time?
I don’t make any effort towards it. I follow my routine, and if anything is a priority, be it at work or home, I do that first. Time gets managed automatically.
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a time you couldn’t use the mobile phone
You should say:
– When it was and where it was
– Why you could not use your mobile phone
– How you felt about it
SAMPLE ANSWER
I’m going to describe a time when I didn’t use the mobile phone. Well, I was not allowed to use it. During our math lessons in 12th grade in high school, the teacher decided to ban mobile phones, considering its adverse impacts on students’ performance. At first, she wasn’t set in her ways to impose such a strict rule. However, on second thoughts, she believed that banning mobile phones would benefit all the students.
Our teacher was convinced that such a gadget would always generate distractions among students, discouraging their learning spirit. Indeed, this was the case for many. In my class, those who owned a mobile phone could hardly pay full attention as they were constantly checking their phones for messages and the like. As a result, our teachers found it problematic and disturbing when students were using phones in their class, and we ended up not being able to bring cellphones to school at all. If anyone needed to call their parents, they could use the telephone in the supervisor’s room.
Honestly, at that time, the price of mobile phones was beyond my means; therefore, only the rich could afford them. This rule exerted no effects on me or my studying. Still, many of my friends felt irritated because they had grown accustomed to performing calculations with a cell phone instead of a calculator.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do you think it is necessary to have laws on the use of mobile phones?
Well, this issue is quite complicated. From my perspective, cell phone usage should be restricted in public places. For example, it would be rude to answer your phone in a restaurant and talk to the other person because it would interrupt other peoples’ dates or dinners or get-togethers. Or in places like the library, theatre, and especially in class while listening to a lecture, it can be very disruptive when someone next to you starts using his/her cell phone.
How do you like children having mobile phones?
I disapprove of this, as having a cellphone would affect their academic performances. Such a gadget would continuously generate great distractions among students during class and discourage their learning spirit. Indeed, this has been the case for many. When I was in secondary school, those who owned a mobile phone could hardly pay full attention as they were constantly checking their phones for messages and the like. As a result, our teachers found it problematic and disturbing when students were using phones in their class, and we ended up not being able to bring cellphones to school at all.
At what age should children have mobile phones?
Those above the age of 16 can probably have mobile phones. Children below the age of sixteen should not be given mobile phones since their brain is too sensitive to withstand the effects of mobile radiation. Under the absorption of radiation, children can have adverse health issues. Adults are also affected by the radiation, but it will be more consequential in children because of the increased absorption of these radiation levels.
