How would you teach your children time management?
Time management can be taught to children by helping them make a timetable and ensuring that they follow it. Also, children can learn easily from stories or movies, which teach them a lesson about the importance of time and managing it well. The parents are role models for children and they should set a good example for their children.
Do old people and young people manage time in a similar way?
No, old and young people do not manage their time the same way. Old people have more life experience and they understand the importance of time management better than the young generation. The young people may be too impulsive or impatient and may not understand the importance of planning ahead. Another difference is the way the younger generation manages time. They make more use of technology and the old people may use the traditional methods, like a timetable or writing down a list of tasks.

PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe an energetic person that you know
You should say:
– Who is this person?
How you knew this person
– Why do you think this person is energetic?
And explain how you feel about this person
SAMPLE ANSWER
IELTS Speaking Test
I know a lot of energetic people, but the person who I find to be the most energetic is none other than my mother. There are many reasons why I find her to be very energetic. Firstly, she does so many things in a single day. If I did them all, it would take me at least two three days. Firstly, she gets up at 5 AM and then takes the dogs out for a walk.
Then, she comes back and feeds the dogs. After that, she prepares breakfast for the whole family.

Then she gets ready and goes to work. She is a gynaecologist, so her job is also very stressful. She comes back home at around 7 PM. Then, she prepares dinner. She does a lot of other household chores too like washing utensils, cleaning, folding clothes and placing them in cupboards.
I don’t know when she does them and many times I take them for granted but if she is not home for even one day, it again reminds me of all these chores she does. Sometimes, she even needs to go to the hospital at night because of emergencies. Secondly, she somehow finds time for all her hobbies inspite of being so busy.
IELTS Speaking Test
She does knitting, crochet, sowing, painting, origami and so on. Every year, she makes 4-5 sweaters. Our whole home is decorated with her hand made artwork. Thirdly, I find her so energetic because I have never seen her resting or wasting time during the day. She is always doing something. Even when she is watching TV, she is knitting side by side. If she is on the phone, she is cooking or folding clothes side by side.
After coming back home from school, I just feel like sitting and doing nothing for a while.
I don’t know if she feels the same, but I have never seen her taking a break. Its like the word ‘Idle’ doesn’t exist in her dictionary. Each day I aspire to be like her, but I don’t think I can come even remotely close to her. I can just admire her and feel proud that she is my mother.

Part 3 Follow Up Questions
Do you think machines could replace human workers in the future?
Yes, in certain job, machines will most likely replace human workers. However, there will always be certain jobs where the human element would remain essential. One example I can think of is of healthcare. I don’t think doctors or nurses can ever be replaced by machines.
Can physical workers receive higher salaries in the future?
Yes, I think they would. Its all about demand and supply. The demand for physical workers is increasing, while the number of people learning vocational skills like carpentry, plumbing and masonry are decreasing. So, they would definitely receive higher salaries in the future.
What’s the difference between the payment for physical work and that for mental work?
In case of physical work, the payment is generally based on the number of hours worked or the amount of output, while in case of mental work it is about the impact. Generally, physical work is undervalued, while mental work is valued more because it generally requires advanced knowledge and training.
IELTS Speaking Test
What kinds of jobs need a lot of physical work?
I think many activities require physical work like construction, gardening, plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, agriculture and so on. However, in some of these areas, the physical work is decreasing because of automation.
