Describe an interesting conversation you had with your friend.

You should say;

• Who you spoke with ?
• Where you were ?
• What the conversation was about ?
• And explain why you think it was interesting ?

ANSWER:

Well, I believe that having conversations with people around us gives us knowledge about topics that we might not be aware of. It also encourages creativity through which we brainstorm and think of new ideas and gain new perspectives.

I’d like to talk about an interesting conversation I had with one of my friends, Meenu. This happened a week ago when she came to my house to spend time with me. I vividly remember it was a long talk about feminism. Feminism basically means equality between both men and women. My friend and I were discussing how more and more people need to change their point of view about gender roles which have been nurtured into them due to our patriarchal society. It is often expected from women to handle household chores and cook for the family, whereas from men it is expected that they earn and fulfil the financial needs of the family members. Other than this, men are usually told not to cry and suppress their emotions, but at the same time anger is socially permissible for them, and crying is considered normal for females. I and Meenu both agreed that these stereotypes need to change, as they force both men and women to fit into boxes created by society. We further conversed about how this can be solved, and we both saw eye to eye on this fact that it can drastically improve if women are provided proper education and given cerebral opportunities. For instance, women should be encouraged to take leadership roles and pursue their careers in technical fields, as data shows that more men often search for jobs in these roles.

Overall, it was a very intriguing conversation. It made me realise how having discussions and debates plays a crucial part in society. It helps in spreading awareness about different issues that go unnoticed.

Describe something that helps you concentrate.
You should say:
• What it is?
• When and where you do it?
• How did you learn it?
• How does it help you to concentrate?

Answer:
Well, I think focus is the key to achieving a goal in life. There were a lot of times when I faced difficulty in concentrating. So, I decided to do something about it, and while doing some research, I came across activities such as yoga, meditation and breathing techniques which help people concentrate better.
I learnt all these activities at a yoga centre near my university. This instructor was very supportive. She taught me patiently and guided me throughout the duration of my training. Even since then, I have been practising meditation regularly. I try to practise meditation at least four times a week. I practise it on a mattress in my bedroom before sleeping.
Basically, in meditation the person folds their legs and sits in a relaxed posture. Further, we have to close our eyes and notice our breath moving in and out naturally. We have to observe our thoughts without judgement. As one becomes more proficient, that person then starts noticing some significant changes in their life. Such as reduced stress levels and improved productivity because of better focus. I have come across several studies that prove that meditation enhances concentration.
In a nutshell, it has been a great experience learning such a mindful activity. It is helping me in my life in different ways. I would definitely continue practising meditation in future.

Describe an area of science in which you are interested.
You should say:
• Which area of science is it?
• When did you come across it?
• Why is it interesting to you?
• And explain how you feel about it.

Answer:
Well, science is a driving force behind significant technological advancements in all aspects of life. Though all areas of science appeal to me, when it comes to a specific area of science, I am fanatical about human psychology. It is the study of human mind and behaviour.
When I was in grade 9, my teacher introduced psychology as a topic in a classroom session. She taught how companies play with the human brain and emotions through advertisements. Companies use cognitive psychology to trigger emotional responses for impulsive shopping. That lesson ignited my curiosity to know more about how human psychology works and how we make decisions. Since then, I have been interested in this subject, and I have read many books and articles about psychology.
I have developed a genuine interest in psychology owing to the reason that the human brain is like a fine-tuned machine, and I find it exciting to read and learn how humans react differently in different situations. The more I learn about this particular subject, the more I become interested because I have seen every single action has a reaction. I have realised that psychology is an open window into the remarkable complexity of the human mind.
In a nutshell, our mind is a vast landscape. If I master this subject, it will upgrade my profile and enable me to understand people’s behaviour deeply. It will open doors of new opportunities for me in the future.

Describe an advertisement you like.
You should say –
• What was the advertisement?
• When and where did you see it?
• Why did you like it?
• And explain how you feel about it.

Answer:
I believe advertisements are quite important for marketing, as some of them operate as a rose-tinted time machine. I have come across several advertisements in my life, but one that really caught my attention is the advertisement of a washing powder named Nirma. It was very popular in the 1980s. The iconic Nirma jiggle was one of my favourite rhymes in my childhood. I vividly remember that I was six years old when I first watched this advertisement. It used to get played on our television during cartoon shows, serials and films.
Actually, what made it memorable wasn’t simply the detergent powder but the lyrics and the dancing girl. The girl wore a white frock and had two ponies with ribbons, and she twirled around in her dress to the music. Whenever I saw it on my television, I danced along with the dancing girl. The fun part is whenever I was in a bad mood, my family played this advertisement, which instantly uplifted my mood and brought a smile to my face.

Overall, remembering this advertisement makes me feel nostalgic. What I realised from my experience is that advertisements are not just marketing tools, but at times they become a part of our life. To be honest even today, I play my favourite ad sometimes on Youtube on my mobile phone as the music pulls at my heartstrings.
