IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTR PART
What is your full name?
My name is Jaswinder Kaur.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Jaswinder.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
What is the importance of religion in our life?
Religion is a guideline of our life. it is manual that should be followed to get eternal peace, satisfaction and happiness in life.
Which society is better to live, single or multi religion society? Why?
I think multi religion society is much better than single religion society because people can have better acceptance and tolerance for other religions and their customs. It is often observed in single religion society that people do not get a chance to explore other religions and their specialties. Whereas, in multi religion society, people can learn, accept and adopt many customs of each other. Ultimately, every religion leads to one common goal, ‘salvation’.
Why do you think someone prefers to live as a religious saint?
I think only a few people can really go to the depths of religion and mysteries of the soul. This is the reason they think they should go to the world and give the same message. To do this, they become messengers of God and the religion and this are the people whom we call saints.
What can we learn from religious/spiritual people?
We can learn many things from them. We can understand various aspects of our religion and our life, which we can implement in our everyday living. If we have any problem in our life, we can go to them and seek the solution from religious perspective. They are an important part of our life.
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe an instance when you were very close to a wild animal.
You should say
– Which animal it was
– Where you encountered it
– How you felt when you saw the animal
– Would you like to experience this again?
SAMPLE ANSWER: –
Many years ago when I was in the second year of college, our department organized a tour to Kanha. Kanha is a national park in central India, famous for its huge tiger population. The forest is one of the largest in India, and home to many different species of animals. It is a self-sustaining ecosystem full of symbiotic and predatory relationships between animals.
We were a group of twenty students who had signed up for a tour, and our colleges had put us up very early, a little before sunrise, in fact, and got ready for our jeep safari into the wilderness. The twenty of us assembled into five jeeps, bubbling with excitement. For the first hour and a half we saw a lot of deer, somber, wild boars, monkeys, and exotic birds. However, we spotted no tiger. The guide in our jeep kept looking for pug marks to ascertain the location of any tiger that might be in the vicinity.
Unfortunately, he could not spot any, and we only had permission to spend about forty five more minutes in the forest for that morning. Just when we had given up, we heard some monkeys hoot and sequel in fright as they jumped from branch to branch. This was followed by the cries of birds, and we could sense that something was up. The animals were alerting each other to danger.
As we looked here and there with bated breath, suddenly out of a thick, green overgrowth on the left, emerged a majestic tigress! Her bright orange coat was striking, we were all left speechless, and the warning cries of the jungle slowly subsided. My heart was beating in my throat, and all I felt was a deep sense of fearful reverence for the beautiful tigress before me.
I would love to experience such a sighting again, and pain on going there once with my family in the near future.
PART 3 – DISCUSSION/ FOLLOW UPS
Are you afraid of wild animals?
I would not say that I’m afraid of wild animals. Of course, if a wild animal were to attack me or chase me, I would run for my life. But in general when I visit animal reserves, national parks, or wildlife sanctuaries, sitting in an open jeep, or on elephant back, or even in a center, I don’t really feel afraid of wild animals. I have seen many large, aggressive bears, huge packs of wild dogs, sly wolves, stealthy cheetahs and hyenas, and even tigers on the hunt, on my trips to forest reserves.
On these occasions I was awe-inspired more than afraid. The sight of wild animals is so breath-taking, that fear takes a back seat when the mind knows that one is sitting in a vehicle, quite protected.
Do you think we need to increase the forest cover globally?
I feel very strongly for this cause of planning more trees and increasing the forest cover globally. Forests are dwindling at scary speeds internationally because of increase industrialization and deforestation for agriculture and mining. This is leading to an increase in global temperatures, better known as global warming, causing many species of animal to become endangered or extinct.
Ecosystems are getting disturbed and food chains are breaking because of a lack of forest cover. If we manage to increase the forest cover all over the world, we will be able to bring down the negative effects of global warming and reinstate many endangered species, thereby balancing out food webs.
What is your opinion on hunting?
Hunting is an unjustified act of extreme cruelty in my opinion. No one has the right to decide the fate of another life from the sport. When humans hunt other animals for sport, we display our arrogance and insensitivity towards other life forms. We display that we are not worthy of being at the top of the food chain, when we misuse our power of handling tools by killing animals and birds without reason.
Today, there are many food options, and many sport options that people can indulge in and enjoy, without harming anyone in the slightest. Killing animals for any reason other than self-defense is an act of unintelligent, because only an unintelligent creature would destroy his own ecosystem and planet.
What can a country do to promote wildlife tourism?
The prerequisite for wildlife tourism is to have sanctuaries, safe havens, and large natural habitats where different animals can live, forming predatory and symbiotic relationships with one another, depending on the characteristics of their species. Such sanctuaries can be created by starting massive tree plantation, leading to the organic development of diverse ecosystem through the process of natural succession. The government must then take necessary measures to protect the forests themselves. Once these measures are in place, forest safaris can be started, and these can be promoted internationally using the internet and other direct marketing platforms such as travel fairs, television ads, and magazine ads.
