Well Known Personalities # Band 8

Getting a band 8 is a dream for many. Speaking section in IELTS consist of three parts. Given below are question of the discussion part with topic, well known personality. The answers are of band 8 level.

Being in the public eye, celebrities are noticed by everybody. What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?

The advantage is that lot of people are watching you so become famous. There are lot of things that you can do correctly and politically right. There is media watching you and you can go ahead and pass the message to the media in a right way. The disadvantage is that you have to be diplomatic correct. If there are certain things that are wrong, they still have to do it because they have political pressure.

What is the media’s approach to reporting about famous people?

Well, media plays an important role. At times media shows things that are not correct. They portray in a wrong way and the common person forms a wrong image. Although there are even times they do show the famous people in right light.

Do you think anything can be done about it?

Well, not really because it today’s world what has happened is that everything is communicated through media. All you can do is call media and answer to public about the issues or may be give justification.

Media often reports about trivial issues rather than important issues. But people do like trivial issues, what is the reason behind it?

Because these days people like to listen to gossip or trivial things. They are not interested in larger picture. They have a simple life and live it their own way. There are only few people interested in knowing about the country and getting all the information.

How advertisers are use the famous people?

Well, famous people are used because they can promote the product. Second, they have fans and if they see their favourites using a particular product, they are more likely to use them. Also, it is money making. For example, if Mahatma Gandhi wore a watch of titan, I will wear it as well.

Level 0 # Speaking Section

Speaking section of IELTS consist of three sections. However, before the actual speaking section of IELTS begins, there is this part where you will introduce yourself and greet the examiner. Well, although nothing much can go wrong here and neither you are marked much on this section, but answering it right will help you to achieve higher band.

In this section, the examiner will introduce themselves by saying either of the following things –

Good after noon, my name is this.

Could you tell me your full name?

You need to answer,

Good afternoon, name of the examiner. My name is

You may or may not give the name of the examiner.

NOTE –  

  1. If you are going to use the examiner name don’t use titles. For example, miss, Mrs., Mr. but if you don’t feel comfortable saying the examiner’s name, it is completely fine.
  2. When telling your name, you can say either of the following sentences –

My name’s anmol.

Now, did you saw, I said my name’s and not my name is. This is part of pronunciation. Using contractions is a part of higher level of pronunciation. Doing so, will help you in having a good impression over the examiner.

Note – Speak your name clearly. Smile properly and look in the examiner’s  eyes while answering, but make sure you don’t stare.

The second question that you will be asked is What can I call you?

There are three ways you can reply –

  1. You can call me ..
  2. Just call me ….
  3. Please call me ….

Note- Please don’t explain why people call you this.

There are many people who have an English name apart from a vernacular name. They can say – You can call me by my English name

The third question is Where are you from?

Or Could you tell me where you come from?

  1. I am from India
  2. I come from Honk Kong
  3. I come from ….
  4. I am from Calcutta which is in the east of India.

Note -It is good to add little bit information.

“which is in the” is a clause. Using it will help you in getting higher marks. Don’t expand any further.

Don’t ask examiner questions.

Don’t give recommendations.

Use English pronunciation of names. Don’t use vernacular word.

The fourth question asked is Could I see your identification?

Or Can you show me your identification?

You can answer this question as –

  1. Here you are
  2. Sure, here you are
  3. Of course, here it is.

Note –

Keep the answer short.

ID is identification

It is possible to say nothing and give your id but it is better if you say something.

So, go on do the right things and prove your metal in IELTS.

Stage You Loved # Speaking Section

A STAGE THAT YOU LOVED

Which stage was it?

Why was it glorious?

How you enjoyed it and say what lessons you learned?

SAMPLE ANSWER

Every one passes through different types of situations in their life. It is either weal or woe, but no matter what it is, the faith to continue counts. I remember one stage in my life which was really enjoyable and full of fun for me. It was after I completed my college and was trying to figure out things for myself in terms of what should I do with my life.

This was the time, I did content writing for a company, adding content to their websites. It was complete fun because I was doing something I was very passionate about i.e. writing and was getting paid for it. Even more the blog that I had started a year back, finally started getting 500 visitors every day adding more to my income. I made new friends, met like minded people and learnt a lot about the thing I loved the most. I remember, I even got a chance of writing a script for an advertisement and go on to shooting and see how set looks like.

The entire mood of that time was great. I was in love with the work I was doing and achieving things in it and even more it taught me valuable things for my life. I learnt that once you have your heart out at something, no one can stop you from achieving what you want. It was during this time that my convictions that you must do what you love became strong. I guess this was the time that marked a new beginning for me and has helped in shaping my life, the way it is now.
