PART – 1 INTRO
What is your full name?
My full name is Eisha Damni.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Eisha.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.

Would you enjoy living in the countryside?
Definitely yes! Sometimes I wish my grandparents hadn’t migrated to Mumbai. I would have loved to grow up in our village on the Konkan coast, close to the sea, listening to the sound of the waves instead of the constant cacophony of horns!
Do you prefer living in a city or the countryside? Why?
This is not an easy question. People often romanticize life in the high mountains but it is tough. Food is very expensive and locals have to walk through dangerous terrain on a daily basis. Winters are biting cold and clear running water is hard to find. So I’ll admit that city life is easier.

Would you like to live in the countryside in the future?
Not anytime soon! I can see myself living in the countryside when I am retired and walk a slower pace of life. At the moment, the countryside is great for a relaxing day out or to go and paint the landscape but I feel more at home in the city.
Have you ever spent time in the countryside?
I go to the countryside in the North of Spain every summer as Madrid can become unbearably hot. My family have a chalet there so we all go and stay and laze about in the garden and swim in the pool. We take long walks in the mountains in the mornings and have long lunches in the afternoon followed by a nap.
Is farming important in your country?
It is very common for people to take on farming duties in rural areas. It is actually one of the main industries in my country, with over fifty percent of the population living off of it.
How often do you visit farms?
I live in a metropolitan city, so I am quite far from any farming areas, but every few months I will go visit one for a change of pace.

What can we do to support farmers?
An idea could be to purchase products from local businesses, rather than buying mass-produced merchandise from large factories. I personally enjoy going to markets where people sell their own food, like fresh fruit and vegetables, and sometimes meat, too.

SAMPLE ANSWER
One piece of really good news I recently received was that I had passed an important professional certification exam. It was something I had been preparing for over several months, and honestly, it was quite challenging. The exam was related to my career in project management, so it was a big deal for me.
I got the news through email. I remember it vividly – it was early in the morning, and I was casually checking my inbox when I saw the message with the subject line “Congratulations!” I immediately opened it and couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that I had passed. I felt a huge sense of relief and happiness at the same time.

The first person I told was my mother. She had seen how stressed I had been during my preparation period, so she was just as thrilled as I was. I also shared the news with a few close friends and colleagues who had been encouraging me along the way.
This was good news because it not only marked the end of a stressful journey, but it also opened new doors for my career. The certification boosts my chances of getting better job offers and promotions, and it also increased my confidence significantly. It was definitely one of the highlights of my year.

Why do people like to share good news with others?
People often share good news because it enhances the joy of the moment. Sharing it with friends or family makes the achievement feel more meaningful, and it creates a sense of connection. Psychologically, it also provides emotional validation—when others celebrate with us, we feel more confident and supported. Moreover, it can strengthen social bonds, as people are more likely to remember how they felt when they were part of someone’s happy moment.
How do people in your country usually share good news?
Traditionally, people would visit each other’s homes or make a phone call to share good news. However, with technology becoming more accessible, most people now share updates through messaging apps or social media platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, or Facebook. For bigger news—such as weddings or academic achievements—they might organize a small celebration or send formal announcements through email or printed cards.
Do people sometimes react negatively to others’ good news? Why?
Unfortunately, yes. While many people are genuinely happy for others, it’s not uncommon for some to react with jealousy or indifference. This could be due to personal insecurities or a sense of comparison. For example, if someone is struggling in their own life—maybe facing unemployment or health issues—they might find it difficult to celebrate someone else’s success wholeheartedly. It’s a natural human emotion, though not an ideal one.
