IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Newspapers

We are living in the information age. Events, happening flow by as fast as they could and reach to a broader mass making a lasting impact. Gone are the days when it took months to reach news to the other place, the news in today’s time is just a click away. This time we are looking at some Section III speaking questions related to newspapers.

How do newspapers market themselves in your country?

Almost all the newspapers in our country, market themselves on social media. Most of them have facebook pages or twitter pages. People who like them get to see the news on their feeds. Even more, they all have a app for their newspaper that people can install and read the news. With regards to real readers, if a real agent advertises on how a newspaper helped it get a real deal, it could help more people to pitch it. For instance, there are many IAS officers who do recommend THE HINDU newspaper for IAS exam. So, most of the students who do prepare for it, go for the newspaper.

NEWSPAPERS

Do you think most newspapers put a spin to the story to get more sales?

I think definitely yes. Not only to increase their sales, more often newspaper reporters and editors do not know the entire story. But, waiting for the entire news to come up could give the other companies the competitive advantage. So, most of the times it is not only about increasing the sales but also about making sure that they have the competitive upper hand that makes the newspapers to put a spin to the story. But, yes, a twisted story always gives more readers than a plain simple story.

In terms of news, do you think there is much difference between newspapers and news channels?

Surely there is a difference. Newspapers have a limited space and they need to cater to a larger and broader audience. Giving simply news is not going to help the newspapers. So, there are sections for editorial and then news. Even more, there are newspapers with a section of games. With news channels, there prime motive is showing news. They don’t have much boundation on the content limit. A certain news can be broken down and telecasted more number of times to give it the entire perspective.

Do you think, in future, people are going to read more news on internet ?

With internet gaining so much of momentum, I think definitely yes. There are many news paper companies and news channels that have already created their account on social media. So, when most of the people are glued to their facebook ids, they often get the latest updates from the news channels or papers. Although, there are some people who still prefer newspaper or news channels, I think in coming times, there will be more people who will be taking in information from the internet.

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of internet?

Internet has surely come up as a savior for lot of people. Gone are the days when you need to have huge sum of money to get knowledge or lot of time to solve one issue. We are living in an age when the information is just a click away. However, just like so many other good things, it surely has its own disadvantages. It brings with it things like cyber crimes. People often lose money or important information to hacking.
