Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste.

You should say:

When did you see it?

Where did you see it?

How you felt after seeing it?

Sample Answer

Plastic waste has become is a pressing global problem. I explicitly remember a time when I saw a lot of plastic waste.

Last year, my friends and I planned a trip to Goa, a place famous for its exquisite beaches and mesmerising sunsets. We had a lot of fun there and explored some interesting places. We went to one of the famous beaches in Goa. It was truly amazing and had beautiful spots.

We were completely lost in admiring the beauty of that place until we noticed a heap of plastic garbage near the beach. Undoubtedly, it was a blot on the beauty of that place. The worst part was that animals nearby were consuming the waste, which was very harmful for their health.

All of us were quite upset with what we saw. We decided to give that place a new look and make our trip memorable. Certainly, it was not a piece of cake, but we couldn’t just leave that mess behind. We were filled with firm determination to clean it, so we divided ourselves into two groups, which had different tasks. One group collected the waste and packed it in bags, while the other cleaned.

Watching us, other tourists joined us, and it became a big hit. We were able to clean the place within few hours. It was not less than a victory for each of us. The locals appreciated our efforts and apologised for the negligence they showed towards that place. They even assured us that from now on they would definitely take care of that place and would be vigilant about it.

Q1. Why do people often like to use plastic?

I reckon, the ultimate reason why people use plastic is that it is durable. Depending upon the composition, most plastic items take years to decompose. Another reason why people prefer plastic is because it is cheaper than other options available, for example, jute or paper bags.

Q2. How can we reduce the use of plastic?

Speaking -Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe your daily routine.

You should say:

What it is?

Where and when you do it?

Who you do it with?

And explain why you enjoy it?

Sample Answer

Fortunately I don’t have a hectic schedule like most people these days. Since I’m a student so my primary objective is studying. I’ve always been an early riser, so getting up early is not difficult for me. I fervently adhere to the proverb “early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” I wake up at 5:00 AM and study for an hour. I give paramount importance to my health since I’m a fitness freak, good health for me is a non-negotiable, especially in the light years. I always make sure to worship before leaving the house as it gives me a positive start. I make sure to never skip breakfast because it is my main source of energy for the day. I’ve got four hours of classes, which leaves me exhausted, after returning back home I take some time to relax. I sometimes have a quick snooze. I like to spend time with my family and engage in some fun activities in the evening. This regimen makes me happy and gives me a sense of inner fulfilment since it allows me to divide my time rationally among the key responsibilities in my life: studying, participating in my favourite activities, and spending time with my family.
