What is your full name?
My name is Ashima Arora.
May I see your proof of identification?
Yes, sure. Here you are!
Where do you come from?
I have lived my entire life in Mumbai until now.
Why are you taking the IELTS exam?
I’m taking the IELTS exam because I want to study Masters in Physiotherapy at a well known university in Canada. I have chosen a few universities and they require at least 7.5 overall band score.
Why are you going abroad?
I’m going abroad because I want to do my degree in Canada. My father wanted me to study in India, but my heart was always set on studying in North America.
Will you come back to your country?
Yes, I will definitely come back to my motherland because I want to practice as a physiotherapist here in India.

Do you have a full-time job at the moment or are you studying?
No, I don’t work full time but I do work part time as an assistant physiotherapist (PTA). I really love my job.
Where is your hometown?
My hometown is Ahmadabad which is in the state of Gujarat, one of the most developed states of India.
Is there much to do in your town?
Yes, indeed. There are certainly many things to do there because it is very big city. If you are the person who likes to go out in the evening, there are lots of good restaurants, recreational clubs, movie theatres, shopping malls and fast food joints. If you are up for cultural activities, there are museums and art galleries. But if you like nature there are lots of gardens-the big ones located inside and outside of the city.

PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a time when you travelled by public transportation
– When you travelled?
– Where you travelled?
– What was the purpose of your travel?
– How you felt about it?
SAMPLE ANSWER
Taking trips to all kinds of places is a part of our daily life, whether we travel in our private vehicles or use some kind of public transportation. Of course, as far as I am concerned, I am more comfortable to take my trips on my motorbike when I am travelling short distances. But, when I travel long distances, I usually use public transportation, and today I would like to talk about one such long-distance trips which I took about a few weeks ago.
Anyway, I took the trip to attend a wedding ceremony of one of my cousins who lives about a couple of kilometres away from me in another city. Since it was a long trip, I naturally wanted to use public transportation except, of course, I just couldn’t decide on whether to use a public bus or public train.
Buses travel usually faster than train in my country but they don’t usually provide an opportunity to freshen up or eat any kind of food or snacks during the journey. But, on the other hands, even though, trains run a bit slowly, they all offer the opportunity for refreshment. In fact, all of the public trains in my country have canteens to offer food for the travellers, and of course, they also have washrooms to freshen up.

So, after considering the pros and cons of using both types of public transportation, I finally decided to make my trip on a public train. Of course, it took me a little longer to arrive at my destination with train, but the trip was comfortable, and relaxing, especially, because of playing some “classical and hit songs” throughout the entire journey.
Anyway, I chose to use public transportation, primarily because it provided more safety and security in my travel. In fact, I didn’t have to worry about getting involved in any kind of unfortunate event or accident. Besides, I found travelling by train more comfortable and relaxing because it provided a much larger space to manoeuvre around when I needed to stretch a little. Finally, I never felt any travel fatigue after arriving at my destination.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
What form of transport do you prefer to use? Why?
Without any doubt, I would say motorbikes. You can see people driving a motorbike all over the place in my country. Almost everyone travels by motorbike. The reason why a motorbike is so popular is due to their reasonable price and convenience. They also extremely varied in terms of size, color and quality, thus a wide variety of choices is available for everyone.
Can you compare the advantages of planes and trains?
Planes and trains regularly depart and arrive on time. Plus, there are many convenient facilities catering particularly to certain groups of passengers. However, travelling by plane is clearly time-saving and enjoyable in terms of onboard services like meals or comfortable seats, while travelling by train offers you a chance to see the world outside, admire the views from their seats. It’s totally a great experience for most train-travellers.
What will become the most popular means of transport in your country?
I think buses will take the lead. You can travel the distance without much worries about ticket price or rainy weather outside. Also, new buses now offer better services like comfortable seats for the elderly or good air conditioning systems.
