PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Daljeet Kumar.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Daljeet.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
Do you like to travel?
Yes, absolutely. Travelling is my top hobby because whenever I travel, I can meet and get to know many new people from different cultures and nations, which helps me to broaden my horizons.
Do you often travel by air?
No, not much. Travelling by air too often is out of my reach for a student like me. However, I do travel by air once or twice a year to an ASEAN member because the airfares to these destinations are quite affordable.
How long was the longest trip you took?
I went on a 9-day trip to Thailand and this was my longest trip ever. I spent 3 days in Bangkok, 2 days in Pattaya and 3 days in Phuket. The remaining one day was allocated for moving.
Which country would you like to travel to in the future?
Italy is my dream destination as it is home to the most stunning churches in the world. Also, I love the Italian culture, language and friendly people whom I’ve met in Vietnam.
Would you like to travel to space?
Yes, it sounds a bit weird and scary though. I am curious about how other planets look and how I would be when there is no gravity. This idea really scares me off but as it sounds pretty intriguing, I would like to try travelling to space once.
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a change that can improve your local area
You should say:
– What is it
– How it can be made
– What benefit it will bring
– And how you feel about it
SAMPLE ANSWER
I’m going to describe a change that can improve my local area, which is the construction of a new giant building in the city centre. It would be a complex of shopping malls, hotels and offices. For a small area like my city, the advent of a modern, state-of-the-art shopping mall would be an undoubtedly favourable development. It would consist mainly of changes related to social, economic, as well as functional and spatial spheres.
Well, I think it is the local authorities’ responsibility to initiate such a large-scale project. The construction of this building would require a professional architectural firm, a team of subcontractors, a knowledgeable contractor, and a cooperative developer/owner to get the job done in a reasonable time frame.
Many benefits follow such a development for a small area. First, this complex would incorporate ample parking in its design and construction. This would make it advantageous for people who choose to shop there instead of a single store. With a broader range of goods and services, the overall consumer spending would be strongly stimulated, which favours the provincial economy. The centre would also allow foreign visitors to purchase goods with greater diversity, as compared to other supermarkets in the past.
Such an improvement would exert a long-term influence on the lives of local people in many aspects, such as the economy, tourism. As a part of the city, I feel excited about this progressive turn, and I believe the building would enhance people’s living standards as a whole. Most importantly, the success of this building would lay the very foundation for other large-scale investments in my city.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Why are people living in a community, friendly with others?
Well, it is quite easy to understand the importance of living in a community. Being a part of a community can make us feel as though we are a part of something greater than ourselves. It can give us opportunities to connect with people, to reach for our goals, and make us feel safe and secure. In the age where technology connects and separates us, a friendly residential area can greatly benefit our well-being and can increase our contentment in day-to-day life.
Do people like living in a community?
I think the majority do. It seems that our sense of self-worth and well-being is inextricably linked to the feeling that we are part of a group. This sense of belonging allows us to feel acknowledged and recognized for who we truly are. This sense of belonging is very much part and parcel of being a member of an intentional community. Through sharing our experiences daily, we can also enjoy mutually supportive relationships that can be more trusting than usual.
Why do people in a community usually have a social gathering?
Well, the organization of a social gathering would be in the interest of the people involved. Social gatherings develop social skills and empathy—the outward-oriented dimensions of emotional intelligence. Participating in social events enables individuals to meet people who can help them academically or professionally. Relationship-building is a good habit that students need to learn because the world of work requires aptitude in negotiation, communication and networking.
