India is known for star studded film industry called Bollywood . Although, there are various talented actors excelling in action, romantic or drama movies, Akshay Kumar has a special place in comedy roles. He has been in the industry for almost three decades doing all kinds of roles, but since last 10 years he has made a name for himself in the comedy circle. I became his diehard fan after watching the movie “Singh is king.” It is one of those movies which can be seen again and again without getting bored. Apart from having an excellent sense of humor, he is a complete disciplinarian as far as his lifestyle and physical fitness is concerned. Millions of young men and women have gained inspiration from his strict exercise regime and teetotaler habits. He has a huge fan following because of his contributions to charity of soldiers of my country. Being a black belt in martial arts, he does all his action stunts on his own which has made him a youth icon. It won’t be wrong to say that he’s a multitalented personality and his movies are a complete entertainment package. (198 Words)

Describe a website you often browse.

You should say:

• what is it
• how long have you been using it
• detailed information about the website

and explain why you often browse this website.

Sample Answer :

My life revolves around my laptop  and I surf lot of websites throughout the day. The website which I visit more often is Sound Cloud. Its my most favourite bookmark.

I am a complete music junkie! I visit the website several times a day to surf the latest music as this is a perfect platform for the releases of new sounds and music. I have been using it for the longest possible time. Almost for the past 5-6 years.

The site is like a whole Pandora box for the music lovers. It contains illustrated tab for the music playing and it shows relevant new music according to your past search and views. For example, I have been able to keep track of this really good artist Juice Worlds by constantly getting notifications and updates of his new music. I think the website is really comprehensive, compact and easy to operate too.

Sound Cloud, for me, is a one-way ticket to heaven. It acts as the best source for party music as well as for times when I like to keep it calm and composed.

The only downside of the website is that you cant really download music from this site and keep it for later use. I think it can be a bit addictive if they allowed it as It would surely take up all the start-up disk space on my laptop. Because it is updated very frequently it is tempting to keep going back and having another look for being the first one to discover a good track. It has often led me to procrastinate when I am supposed to be doing work , I keep telling myself to restrict the amount of time I spend on the site. I haven’t been successful as of yet.

I seriously suggest this website to the insane music lovers and for the ones who already use this site , I bet you’d be an avid a follower as me. (334 words)
