How often do you go walking?

I try to walk every day. Since I moved to a new place to live, I have made the decision to try to walk to all places which I need to visit as part of my daily life. Not only does this keep me healthy, but it also allows me to explore the new area that I am not living in.

Is walking popular in your country?

Yes, I think that walking has always been popular in my country. This is because it is both free and a good form of exercise. I think that a lot of people prefer to walk than to have to pay money to travel short distances around their hometown.

I like October Fest. It’s a German festival that starts in late September and ends in October. People drink lots of beer at October Fest and that is why I like it.

Model Answer

I am a student at the graduate-level and passing my third phase of this level at the?University of Malaya. I am studying economics here and recently attended my year ending the exam. It was an important exam for me as the failure on the?exam will not allow me to get promoted to the next phase.

Bachelor of economics is one of the most sought subjects at the University of?Malaya and I am studying the course here for the last four years. My final year is?going on and by the end of this year, I will complete the course. This course is a?bit tougher than the other bachelor course as the course deals with the?fundamentals of economics.

IELTS Speaking Interview

The course is divided into several phases and the?topics turn tougher with the passing of one year or phase. So, in my third?phase, it was a bit difficult for me to cross the barriers of the course. The?course ? Econometrics, was a bit tougher than the other courses, and thus the?university authority scheduled the course on the last day of the exam. Even,?there was a day off for the preparation of the course.?

IELTS Speaking Interview

Now I am 22 years old and when I appeared on the course last December, I?was 21. This is the average age for the Malaysian people to study in universities. In my early days, people used to admit their kids into elementary?schools when they were six or seven years old but now the scenario has been?changed. Most of the people admit their kids at an early age when they are?four or five.

In fact, the citizens of Malaysia are trying to cope with the?advancement of the world and thus they are admitting their children into?schools and other educational institutions at an early age so that they could?cope up with the changes of modern life. Often I ponder about the issue?and if I could sit for the exam again now, I could have done better in the score.?

IELTS Speaking Interview

With the passing of time, people become experienced and their mental faculty?enriches and expands. So, if I could have sat again for Econometrics now, I?could have answered the questions in a more productive manner.?Generally, the bachelor exams are held for four hours at a stretch and?Econometrics was not an exception here. The exam was held for four long?hours. Since my preparation for the course was not up to the mark, it was difficult for me to answer all the questions.

Some of the questions were out of our syllabus and the students created chaos for sometimes with the invigilator present at the exam hall. When the authority acknowledged their mistake and assured that they would provide the marks against the questions, the situation came under control. The exam began again. The exam began at 12.00 pm and ended at 4.00 pm. The entire hours were struggling for me. It appeared that the theory of relativity started working for me. Frequently I was watching at my wristwatch and it appeared that time was not passing. Actually, it happens to everyone when they want the time to pass. At that moment, everything turns slower and the moments are irritating.

IELTS Speaking Interview

The Econometrics exam was important for me in several aspects. Firstly, it was?the last exam of the year and if I fail in the exam, I have to retake the course?again with my junior batch. This was really a shocking event for me that I?would attend the exam with my juniors. Moreover, the failure on the exam will?delay my promotion to the next and final level of graduation.

As a result,?everything with me will be delayed. If I am late to complete my graduation, I?will not be able to start my career early. Currently, the employment situation in?Malaysia is well but it takes considerable time to establish someone into any?specific position. So, I, in fact, was in a hurry to complete my bachelor in?Economics. I did not have spare time with me to spend for the betterment of?the course. I was trying to complete my academic activities as early as possible?and thus the exam was of great importance to me.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

1. What are some popular subjects that university students study in your country? Why?

Answer: For years, we have seen that subjects like computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, pharmacy, business administration, medical science, public administration, international relationship, marine science and engineering, and other engineering subjects (like architectural and mechanical engineering) have remained popular. These subjects have remained popular primarily because they offer better employment and earning opportunities. They are popular also because they usually bring a greater social status and prestige for people that are not exactly associated with other subjects.

2. Do you think that university education should be free for students? Why/Why not?

Answer: No, I don’t really like to subscribe to the idea that university education should be free for students because that would tempt students to take education for granted, meaning that they wouldn’t possibly be enough serious about their studies. Besides, free education would also mean that universities wouldn’t probably have enough funds to put forth for high-level research works and structural improvements (ie. building new university residences and faculty halls) which would certainly harm the interests of students in the long run.

3. Do you think students from all majors should study subjects like math and history? Why/ Why not?

Answer: In principle, I am in favour of studying all subjects, including math and history, because the more we learn, the better will it prepare us to face the challenges of the real world. Studying math equip us more analytical and reasoning capabilities which may prove out to be crucial in looking for a solution for complicated problems while studying history would allow us to take a more informed decision in the light of previous success and failures for identical problems or challenges.
