There is so much that we all want to achieve in our lives, the dreams that we have, the ones that we all want to fulfill. Let us today, have a look at some of the questions related to goals, that might be asked in IELTS Speaking section.

What is your biggest goal in life?

The biggest goal that I have for my life is to be able to open a company that gives quality education to the poor. I know  that the government is doing a lot for the poor, but what often gets done is not of that quality as that of private companies. I want to open a company that can provide free quality education, the kind of education that teaches people to dream, to become engineers, doctors or painters or musicians.

How do you plan to achieve that goal?

Presently, I am working for a software company. After gaining some experience and building my network of people that will help in achieving that goal, I will go about opening the company. In the beginning, it will be more of at personal level, where I might be the teacher myself but in later years I think there will be more of teachers and better facilities.

What are your “short term” goals?

Presently, I am planning to go through all the textbooks till class 12th to understand the basic concepts of education. These are the concepts that I have ignored for a very long time, but I wish to get an in depth knowledge of them.

Should parents help their children set goals?

I think yes, they can always advice their children on goals but then they should not make try to enforce what they think should be the child’s goal. It is more of giving freedom to choose the goal, letting the child fall down and then get up. And in middle of it, helping the child whenever required, keeping an eye and making sure that in the fight of achieving goals, the child does not forgets to live life.

What are your educational goals?

I want to do my Masters from Harvard University. I know that it is the world’s best university and I want to be part of it. Before that, I also wish to get into the Indian Institute of Technology. I want to break the taboo that only some special set of people can go to these elite colleges.

What are your career goals?

As far as my career is concerned, I wish to be able to explore myself and my potential more. There are certain areas that I wish to improve on and there are some that I have, but I wish to move ahead. I want to gain the expertise in my field of computer science. I want to be at the highest of my truest potential.

What are your financial goals?

When it comes to finance, I don’t have any particular goals. All that I want is when I wish to do something in my life, I have the money to be able to do it and at some point of time earn so much money that I am able to give it to the people in need without any desire of getting it back.

Why are goals important?

I think the main reason why goals are important is because they help you to stay on track. So, you are less likely  to get lost in the world of troubles and miseries because your aim is onto your goal and you tend to forget about everything because the entire focus is on achieving the goal.

Is having a goal in life effective in becoming successful?

Definitely yes. A person with goals is more likely to become successful because he or she might not fall for the traps that are there which tend to get us distracted. Doing something without knowing the reason for doing it, has no meaning at all and no matter how much an individual tries on it, there are more chances that he or she is likely to fail on it.

Is having a goal helpful in motivating a person?

Yes, it surely helps because when you have a goal there is so much going on your mind. There are so many plans that you make and you want to fulfill them. When you have a goal in mind there is nothing else that seems, the problems and the issues just fade away. The only thing that is running on the head is the goal and the only thing one can think of is the life after the goal is fulfilled.

Do you think people have fewer goals as they get older?

Too an extent yes, because people tend to fulfill their goals before that and as they get older they prefer enjoying life as it comes because they understand that it is more important to be able to enjoy life with people you love, care for them and fall in love. Money, goals and achievements take a back seat.

Water, water everywhere, but not a single drop to drink! Now, this is the most common poem known to everyone. From this to the in numerous poems written on water can express how much water is important for the living beings. From plants to animals to human beings, everyone needs water to survive. This being the foremost reason that we al need to save water for future generations to come. Let us today have a look at some of the questions related to water.

How much water do you drink every day?

I am not sure of the quantity but I would say like 4 bottles of regular water bottle everyday. I think that is around 1-2 litres of water. But, I wish to drink more of it.

How many glasses of water should people drink every day?

I think people should drink around 24-25 glasses of water everyday. Now, that is like a glass of water every hour. After all water is so important for a perfect functioning of our body.

How long can a person live without drinking any water?

As far as I remember, a person can live 7 days without drinking water.

How long have you gone without drinking anything?

I remember not drinking anything for 20 hours or something. I was on a journey from Bhubaneswar to Mysore and it was around 20 hours of journey. Now, the journey was so tiring that for most of the part I was sleeping and just completely forgot about drinking anything.

Can you swim? How often do you go swimming?

No, I have still not learnt swimming but I wish to be able to swim very soon.

 

Is there any good swimming place near by your locality?

I am living near my office and there is a beautiful swimming pool in my office which people go and visit during holidays or in the evening.

Can you name ten water sports?

I can try naming some of them. There is scuba diving, kite surfing, sailing, snorkelling, wind surfing, white water rafting, sea kayaking, surfing, swimming and jet skiing.

Not being able to get clean drinking water is a big problem in many places. What are some ways in which people can be provided with clean water?

I do agree with the problem that people all around the world are facing regarding clean water. In my opinion, the easiest technique is conservation. Making sure that the water that we get from natural resources like rain are conserved well and then purified well. Apart from this, it comes upon government to ensure that everyone gets equal amount of water. It can be seen that some people are having more than required access to water while others are starving. Even more, different supply for water can be provided. Like for drinking water, fresh water should be given while for things like cleaning dishes and clothes, a little compromise on quality is possible.

 

Which is the biggest river in your country? How much polluted is it and would you ever try swimming in it?

Ganga is the biggest river of our country, stretching around 2500 km. Lately, Ganga was one of the most polluted rivers of our country, specially because of its religious importance.  Some materials like food, waste or leaves are left in the Ganga for ritualistic reasons. People come here to take a bath to wash away their sins. Also, with the establishment of industrial areas near it, there was lot of industrial waste getting accumulated in Ganga. However, in recent times it has seen some initiatives to get cleaned. I have tried swimming in Ganga but the shore that I chose was clean.

Where does the biggest city in your country get its clean water from?
The biggest city in my country is Mumbai. It gets its clean water from different sources, like Bhatsa, Tansa, Modak Sagar and the Vaitarna.

The world’s population is increasing rapidly. Getting clean water for everyone might become difficult in the future. Think of three ways we can avoid this problem.

I think awareness is the first thing that needs to be done. The way people were aware about AIDS or cancer, people need to be aware of the dead consequences of water shortage. Next, we need to bring out more tangible solutions for saving water. Simply putting down theoretical solutions won’t help us. Something like ensuring everyone, irrespective of the stature in society gets limited water. This will ensure that everyone gets water and at the same time we will be able to conserve water for future. Use of water for washing, cleaning etc should be limited or the quality of water for doing this should be changed.

Please call for realted query.
