1. Describe an interesting animal

  • What it looks like
  • When you saw it
  • Where you saw it
  • Explain why it is interesting

(Sample answer)

  • India has a diverse animal life.
  • We have wild animals, domestic animals and pet animals.
  • Here, I am going to talk about an animal, which I find very interesting.
  • This animal lives in water but is not a fish
  • It is a mammal – it is the dolphin.
  • I came to know first time about this animal from the National Geographic channel.
  • In fact, this river dolphin is the national aquatic animal of India.
  • It gives birth to its young one and suckles to feed it
  • It cannot breathe under water so it has to come to the surface to breathe
  • Even the little baby has to be pushed to the surface to breathe.
  • Dolphins feed on most kinds of fish such as the snapper and the tuna.
  • Dolphins are fast swimmers.
  • They search their way through the sounds they produce, which is called echo-location.
  • The dolphins’ sound waves hit an object and the echo bounces back.
  • Most dolphins are peaceful and rather shy.
  • So far humans have proven to be of greater danger to dolphins than the other way round.
  • There are marine dolphins found in oceans and river dolphins found in rivers.
  • Just like the tiger is our national animal and the peacock is our national bird, the Gangetic river dolphin is our national aquatic animal.
  • The Indian river dolphin is blind.
  • It is found in the river Ganges.
  • The female is about 9 feet long and the male about 7 feet long.
  • Unfortunately our river dolphin is on the verge of extinction.
  • But now the government has started taking steps to save it under the ‘Project Dolphin’
  • Dolphins are important for maintaining the ecosystem.
  • Recently I saw a Hindi movie Ajooba in which Amitabh Bachan is rescued by a dolphin and he considers the dolphin as his mother.
  • I came to know from that movie that dolphins are very intelligent and can be trained.
  • So this is the aquatic animal, which I find very interesting.

Part 3 – Follow up Questions

  1. What type of people can be seen on TV? What are the kind of people do the news usually report about?

Many celebrities like actors, singers, sportspersons etc. can be seen on TV. Politicians, subject matter experts, bureaucrats, etc. are also seen on TV.

  • Do you think there is too much news about celebrities? What is your take on the news reports in recent years?

Yes, I think that there is too much news about the celebrities these days. News channels mostly focus on unnecessary news about famous people, to increase their TRP.

  • Do you think negative information in the news can have negative influence?

Yes, definitely. The negative news on news channels and in newspapers has a negative influence, as people start feeling that nothing good is happening around them. It may develop a sense of insecurity and fear among people, leading to chaos and confusion too, sometimes. Also, people are not aware of the news about development, progress and positive events around them, as too little attention is given to such news.

  • Why do people like negative news?

People like negative news because they want to be aware about the wrong happenings around them. They want to be aware of such news, which helps them take precautions for their safety and security. Also, it is common to find people more interested in news about disasters, crime, terrorism, scandals, corruption, rather than in news about positive developments. I think some people like negative news more than positive news because of their pessimistic attitude.

  • What is usually in the news in India?

In India, news is usually about the politicians, celebrities, sports and crime. There are also discussions about social and political issues, where an experts panel debates. There is also news about news developments and discoveries in India and in other countries.

  • Is that information always true?

I would say that the information given on news is mostly true, as sometimes news channels may exaggerate and sensationalize any news piece, for better TRP. People have access to many sources of information these days because of the Internet, so news channels cannot afford to telecast fake and false news.

  • What’s the difference between broadcasting news in the past and in the present?

There are many differences between news broadcast in the past and at present. These differences are mainly because of technological advancements. These days the news is broadcast real-time. In the past, the technology was not that advanced and there used to be a delay before we got news from other parts of the country or the world. There are a number of news channels these days from all over the world. In the past, there used to be fewer news channels, mostly dealing with the domestic news rather than international news.

  • Do you believe everything said in the news?

Yes, I mostly believe everything said in the news. I usually follow more than one news channel, so

the news I hear on one channel can be corroborated on other channels. These days the level of awareness of people has increased, so the news channels cannot afford to telecast fake or false news.

  • What kinds of news are popular in India?

Many kinds of news are popular in India, like political news, news about social issues, news about crime, news about celebrities, sports and other national and international famous people.

  1. Could superstars bring positive influence on the public?

Yes, of course. If superstars have a good image, then they can influence positively. Many people are their fans and look upon them as role models. So, if they ask people to do something, people do so. For example, if they ask people to plant trees, people would definitely do so. If they ask people to abide by traffic rules, people would listen.

  1. Are the stories about celebrities in the news always true? Is the news on celebrities mostly positive? No, not necessarily. In fact, most news are exaggerations about their personal lives, and are just reported to increase TRP.
  1. How do you think the celebs in the news can influence adolescents?

Celebs can influence adolescents in both positive and negative ways. If the celebs have a clean image, then what they say can influence the young people in good ways. However, if the celebs have a negative image in society, then the young people who follow them will follow their bad habits also.

  1. Are news reports on TV in India divided into domestic and international ones?

I don’t think News are divided into domestic and international ones. However, there are different channels for domestic and international news. If any international news is very sensational and likely to affect the rest of the world, then it is surely reported along with the national news.

    • So that was a day when the weather changed our plans

Follow ups

  1. Why do some people dislike sending text messages?

Some people dislike sending text messages because they feel that it is easier and faster to call than typing a text message and then waiting for a reply. Also, sometimes the text maybe misinterpreted and may lead to misunderstandings.

  • What is the information that cannot be communicated via text messages?

Information that is confidential shouldn’t be communicated through text messages. Besides that, in situations that require conveying feelings, emotions or a deeper meaning, only text messages cannot convey that and need face-to-face interaction.

  • How do people in India deliver important information?

Important information in India is usually communicated through letters and these days email communication has also become quite common to send important information.

  • What do you think of traditional paper mails?

I think that the traditional paper mails still hold some value in today’s world of technology. There are people who are not very comfortable with technology and prefer paper communication. There may also be people who still don’t have access to technology, especially in remote areas. Also, for personal communication, handwritten paper letters add a personal touch.

Yes, it certainly has. In the past, most of the communication happened through handwritten or typed paper mails. However, now most of the communication is electronic, through emails, chat apps, phone calls, videos calls, etc.

  • What are the differences between Indian media and western media?

I think that in today’s well-connected world, the differences between Indian and western media are not many. The main difference is that Indian media uses different regional languages to get information across to all the regions and the states, which use different languages. The content is also more suited to India’s diverse culture. At the same time, Indian media also connects us to the world and gives us information and exposure to the whole world, and has elements that are quite similar to the western media. For example, the format of many shows like Indian Idol, India’s Got Talent, news shows and discussions, etc.

  • What are the advantages of sending messages via social applications?

The main advantage of sending messages via social media is that people can stay connected with their friends and relatives easily. It’s easy to contact others and share information, news, and feelings. Audios, videos, and photos can also be shared through such apps.

  • Finally, I decided to buy a senior citizen cell phone.
  • It was described that it had big buttons, big icons and not too many functions.
  • I placed an order with Amazon and this phone was delivered within 3 days.
  • When I showed it to my grandmother, she was very happy, and I was also very excited that she will start using it immediately.
  • My grandmother had never used a cell phone and she was very hesitant to handle it initially.
  • Many times, she would press the wrong buttons and then feel frustrated with the gadget.
  • I also tried to teach her, but this phone was very different from the one that I was using.
  • Even I had a lot of difficulty getting to know its features.
  • The senior citizen version just meant bold buttons and slightly big size.
  • Nothing else was easy.
  • So, I had to go through the user manual to explain the functions to her.
  • I realised It came with preloaded with some books and some devotional music
  • She immediately liked this function and started using it.
  • Another difficulty I overcame was that I adjusted the light and the font the size to her liking.
  • Gradually she got accustomed to use it.
  • Now she has started using it and now it has become her favourite pastime.
  • Now I am fully content with the it, because I’ve learnt how to use it and my grandmother also has got the hang of it.

Option 2

  • I am an Avid reader and like to read books on various subjects, like philosophy fiction and science fiction.

  • Last September when I was shopping, I came across Kindle Paperwhite, a gadget by Amazon.
  • It comes preloaded with some books and some others one can buy as e-books at a comparatively cheaper cost.
  • I bought it immediately without second thoughts as it suited my requirement perfectly.
  • When I reached home I realised that I had purchased one without a backlight.
  • It needed artificial light to be read easily.
  • Also, when I tried to flip the leaves it was difficult.
  • Initially, so very often, I would jump a few pages.
  • Another difficulty I faced at the initial stages was that it needed some practice to adjust the font the size and other aspects of book reading.
  • But there is no denying the fact that it is the most convenient gadget to be carried when you are on the go.
  • Gradually I got accustomed to it.
  • Now I can read my favourite magazines and newspapers also on Kindle.
  • Although I am not fully content with the performance of Kindle reading, specially the particular version that I have purchased, yet I would rate it to be a value-for-money purchase.

Part 3 – Follow up Questions

  1. What type of products are difficult to use at first?

Goods and products are manufactured for different kinds of people and customers. Some may find it difficult to handle a hi-tech machines while some may find everyday use gadgets in the kitchen difficult to be handled. Generally products with too many functions and buttons are difficult.

  • Do you think it is necessary to follow the fashion and use the latest products?

I would answer yes and no both to this question. Yes! it is good to be up-to-date with the current trends and use the new products. One has to change with the changing times and fashion. No, because the times today are changing very fast and it is very difficult to keep pace with every changing gadget So we should be abreast with the current trends, if not the latest.

  • Do you believe that some products are over publicized?

Yes, it is the an era of advertisement and publicity. Anything that is not advertised, slowly fades away from memory, like they say… out of sight out of mind. When we watch some television programs these days, the intermittent advertisements are repeated again and again and again. So, in terms of competition with each other nothing is too much. Sometimes we get fed up of over publicity but that is the trick a company plays on human mind.

  • Why do you think advertisements are useful in selling products?

There is a whole lot of research and creativity that is behind making an advertisement. If a product is for the children then the advertisements are made in such a manner that a child pesters his parents on buying that particular brand. Hence the target is achieved. in case of women’s beauty products the most impeccably beautiful women are projected and women fall in for that particular product, and again the goal is met. So an advertisement is the most useful method of boosting the sale of any product.

  • Which do you think is better buying things online on buying things in real shops?

Both the methods offer their own advantages and disadvantages. When we buy something online it saves time. It also saves fuel moreover it is also economically beneficial as well as it is an eco-friendly method. There are also so many discount offers when we purchase online because the online stores don’t have too many employees and they don’t need a shop or a showroom. On the other hand certain things like shoes, need to be bought after trying them properly.

  • How do people pay for things they buy online?

There as many payment methods for online shopping. In many cases there is an option of cash on delivery, when you pay to the person who Delivers the parcel at home. Mobile applications like Google pay and payTM are popular in India. One can also make a payment directly from the bank’s debit or a credit card . So anyone who purchases something online opts for the method that is convenient to him or her.

  • Why are imported products more expensive than locally made products?

Well now the times have changed. It is not necessary that the indigenous products are cheaper than the imported ones. The Chinese goods are cheaper in India then many of the Indian counterparts. Many a times the price of a product depends on its quality and quantity. Imported products are transported overseas through air or containers by the sea route so the cost increases and on many products there is an import duty when they reach the destination country.

  • what do you think of those people who only buy expensive things and look down on other people? We are living in a consumeristic society. The modern generation is very brand conscious. At times the price of a product is not justified because it is too expensive but the price tag comes with the brand name. Many people do not like Street shopping and they demean people who do not purchase branded products. I think these people live in an artificial world.

Answer

  • From my childhood, I have been a very big fan of Punjabi music.
    • And my favourite singer is Diljeet Dosanjh.
    • Two months ago, I came to know from my friends, who are also big fans of Diljeet, that he was coming to Jalandhar was a concert.
    • So, we were all very excited.
    • Nowadays, tickets are only sold online and as Diljeet is very popular in Punjab his concert tickets get sold out within minutes.
    • We were worried that we might miss it and so the day the tickets were to become available, we all decided to get together at my house as I have the fastest internet.
    • The tickets became available at 12 PM and by 12:05 we had booked them and got the confirmation.
    • I think that’s when I first felt that I was really going to attend his concert.
    • Till then I kept thinking that something might go wrong- for example my internet would stop working or that we would be too slow to buy the tickets.

Part 3 – Follow up Questions

  1. What is the difference between watching the performance live and watching it on TV?

Watching a performance live is an electrifying experience. One can get to hoot and cheer with the crowd. Some people just sway their bodies with the beat of the performance, which adds to the thrill and joy. However, it is expensive and very time consuming because one has to buy the tickets and go to the specific place. On the other hand, one can watch a TV performance in the comfort of one’s bed and also see the repeat telecast.

  • Which do you prefer traditional performance or a concert?

Both are good in their own way. I enjoy traditional performance especially those of folk singers and dancers.

  • Should government provide financial support to promote traditional performances?

Yes, the government should do so. Traditional performers would not be able to survive if the government doesn’t support them. If they resort to other occupations, we would not be able to see those traditional performances again.

Yes, dance and drama are performing arts. They bring out the hidden creativity of children. Art in any form is good.

  • At present, there is no garden or park in our society.
  • There are many negative consequences of this.
  • Firstly, the children in the society have no place to play outdoors in the evenings and as a result they spend most of their time indoors.
  • This I feel has a negative effect on their health.

  • The parents are always worried.
  • Moreover, many of us in the society like to go for morning walk.
  • Currently we walk on the street but again we have to very careful because of traffic.
  • A new park would give us a place to go for morning walk.
  • I think the park would also be a good place to socialize.
  • We can all spend some quality time at the park specially during evenings after school and work.
  • There is a vacant government land in the society.
  • It was not very large, but I think it would be ideal place for a park.
  • We have already proposed the idea to the local Member of Parliament, and he promised to support and work for our cause.
  • I am really hopeful that the local administration will soon pick up the project and start working on it.

I think it depends on the region they are living in.

However, in the small cities, towns and the countryside, we can find people mostly living in houses, rather than apartments.

Yes, I think rhythms make it fun. I think rhymes reduce inhibition among children and make them more active. That is why teachers use rhymes while teaching.

  • Do you think it is easier for children to learn songs or poems than adults?

I think yes. I remember in my childhood, I used to memorize many poems and I did it very easily. I don’t think I can do the same now. I think it is maybe because in childhood, our brains are more receptive.

  • What can people learn from songs or poems?

I think the two main things we learn from songs and poems is our culture and language. In general, there is a lot of repetition in songs and rhymes stick in the learner’s mind and the words and expressions used are memorized more easily. It also helps in phonetic development. Similarly, some songs and poems also connect us with our culture as their lyrics represent culture expressed in words.
