Related To Hobbies # Speaking Section

Hobby is something done by an individual during their leisure time. So, yet again this is something related to you and is asked in the Part I of the speaking section. Although it is assumed that hobby is something every individual has, often times people do not have any hobby. So, what should you do in such cases. Simply say a no. Well, remember, no matter what, never say a NO in the speaking section. If you don’t have a hobby make up the answer. In the end they are judging you on your speaking skills.

For today, let us have a look at some of the questions related to hobby that could be asked.

  1. What are your hobbies?

Hobby is something I believe pulls out the hidden talent of an individual. Although most people have one or other kind of hobbies, I love writing, reading and travelling  So, whenever I get time I usually pick some novel or a magazine or newspaper for reading. Or else when I am not reading I usually write on my blog or a diary that I have. On weekends, I mostly prefer to travel to new places. The idea of meeting new people and knowing them really excites me.

2. What do you love about your hobbies?

Frankly speaking I would say everything. Reading opens up a new world in front of me. A world I had never seen,opinions that I had never heard of. It seems as if I am present in a particular situation and having chat with some of the great writers of all times. When I write, I feel as if I am free. The idea that I am able to interact with so many people out there and in some way able to have an impact on their lives, gives a sense of responsibility as well as of achievement. Travelling on the other hand connects me with myself. When I go out in nature or interact with others I feel as if I have opened a layer of myself.

3. What type of hobbies are popular among teenagers in your country?

Hobby is something that completely depends on an individual. However, with coming years, I have observed teenagers spending time in Facebook or twitter or Instagram. However, there are even some who love music or dancing and enroll themselves in those classes. There are some kids who like painting or photography. I think it all depends on an individual and with coming times, people will surely give more importance to hobbies.

Freedom To Artist # Essay For IELTS

We are living in an era where there are certain boundaries. Although some people say that artist must be allowed to express themselves freely. Do you agree or disagree with it.

Write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Art is a reflection of society. As a member of society, there are certain norms and limitation every individual must follow. However, certain people believe that an artist should freely express their opinion through their art. In my opinion, an artist must reflect the real world sincerely, however, he/she must make sure that it does not has ill effects on society.

Giving freedom to an artist can prove to be of a great advantage for the society. Firstly, an art has the power to radically change the society. For example- a movie on the ill effects of smoking can always be more powerful than hundreds of speeches. It is because people feel more connected with cinema and their favorite stars. Secondly, it is the best way to reflect the negatives of a society. For instance- if a comedian makes jokes about marital rapes or murders, it although makes people laugh but at the same time strikes a chord with them. In this way, a serious problem can be solved easily.

There have been instances when artist were not given freedom. For example- when a Bangladeshi blogger was killed for writing about equality, it created a sense of terror amongst every individual. They felt as if their right of freedom has been snatched away.

Overall, an artist can change or mold a society in a particular way. The artist therefore must be free to express themselves, however he/she must be able to differentiate between a positive change and a negative impact.

1. Do you work or are you a student?

At present I am working as a freelance writer. Apart from it I have also enrolled myself in a course on English Literature and I am hoping to succeed in this field.

2. Why did you choose this job?

I love English and writing is something I believe I can do. I was interested in learning more about the complexities and the beauty of English language and therefore I joined the course. But I had some shortage of money and had to start working. Since I did not knew anything except writing, I took up as a freelance writer.

3. What is the most difficult thing about your study or job?

I really find juggling between the two quite tough. For example, it sometimes so happens that I am reading literature but I have to write fiction in my job. Switching one mode and getting into other often becomes confusing. But I would say that I love my work, and so in the end it really does not feels so difficult.

I think the entire perspective of taking up a course has changed in a decade. At present people went for the courses that paid them the most. However, people these days prefer courses that widens their horizons and helps them to take a career related to something that they love. Even more since the professional world, now demands vocational studies, more people are getting into it and opening their arenas of the professional world.

Government Funding Art # Essay For IELTS

There are many artist who earn very low wages for their art and barely are able to survive on it. They demand that government must fund them and their art. Do you agree or disagree with it?

Write atleast 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Art, for a long time, has been seen as the easier thing to do. For some reasons, it has dawn upon people that love for literature, imagination, creativity or understanding of philosophy is very easy. Drawing a painting or singing seems quite trivial task that can be done by anyone. This has led to paying low wages to artist as it is thought that they are easily replaceable. It is in recent times, that artists have demanded the government to fund them and their art. I believe that is fair on their part to do so.

In the era, when most attention is being taken by technology, if government funds arts, there will be several benefits. Firstly, it will give people a choice to do what they love. It has been observed in recent times that people often go for engineering or medicines as they are  high paying jobs. If security could be provided to artist more people would take it up as a career. Secondly, art does form an integral part of our lives. Funding by government would help increase awareness among people about the importance of arts. Even more, it will help artists to lead a happier life. Often artists lose their creativity in the struggle of protecting their art and living life. The support from government will surely be of great help.

Overall, I believe we do need engineers and scientist but artists surely make life better. Neglecting them could make our lives monotonous.. Therefore, steps must be taken on behalf of the government to ensure that the artists fell proud of their art and are able to make a living out of the work they love.
