Describe your favourite childhood activity.

You should say:

• What type of activity it was?
• How you used to do it?
• Who did you do it with?

Sample Answer

Childhood is the most cherished facet of everyone’s life. I have several favorite moments of my childhood, but the days spent with my maternal grandmother hold a special place in my heart. She was my best friend, and I loved her the most. Together, we would engage in a variety of enjoyable activities such as cooking, gardening, and field work. Any activity I engaged in with her would naturally become enjoyable. Worship was one of my favorite things to do. As a devout person, I would like to thank my grandmother for always encouraging me to perform prayers and adhere to rites. Every time, I would go with her to the temple and she would show me how to offer it properly. In the evening, we would sit together and sing devotional songs and prayers. My grandmother would always a narrate story before going to bed. My thirst for her stories was uncontrollable and often end up troubling her to narrate two stories in a day. The best part was the lesson and moral values her stories would lead to. My grandmother has always imparted to me her finest wisdom. I believe one must spend time with their grandparents as they are the store house of abundance love and knowledge. I think my grandmother’s lessons are what make me the nice person I am.

Q.1 What activities do kids like to do in school apart from studying?

Well, I believe kids love to engage themselves in playful activities with their friends in school. They enjoy participating in other co-curricular activities like dance, debate, and quizzes, which would give them a paradigm shift from academics.

Q.2 With whom do kids like to play, old people or persons of their age group, and why?

I believe both. When they are at home, they make their grandparents their best friends and learn various things from them; however, when they move out of the house, they enjoy games with kids of their age.

Describe an overcrowded place that you went to.

You should say:

• When did you go there?
• How long were you there?
• How did you feel when you were there.

Sample Answer

Often, people have to visit places that are overcrowded. Mostly, social gatherings get overcrowded when the size of the venue is small and the number of people visiting there increases. Most of my family members are outgoing people, and they like to be part of social events. When I was 17 years old, my father took me to an overcrowded festival called Kumbh Mela, which is considered an important event in our religion. Kumbh is held every 12 years in Haridwar, which is a religious tourist spot. People from all around the country and even from outside our country visit this festival.
The festival goes on for weeks, though we were there only for two days. During the whole time, we had to be extra cautious with our belongings. It is common for pickpockets to be present at such a spot. I was also advised by my family to be alert all the time because in such crowds, stampedes can also happen, which can result in accidents. Thankfully, nothing like that happened because of proper arrangements and the presence of police personnel. I experienced mixed emotions at this location, as I wasn’t accustomed to such large gatherings. I saw people who were poor and  not as blessed as we are. Also, I was fascinated to see saints and sages from different parts of the country.

Q.1 Are there a lot of people where you live?

Yes, I live in a city with a large population. Traffic jams are common during rush hours. A shortage of resources like water and electricity keeps happening.

I avoid going to overcrowded places because I am quite Ochlophobic. I feel anxious and feel like moving away as fast as i can from such a spot.

Yes, places filled with people can cause disturbances, as it can result in traffic jams, littering of garbage by people, and also chances of theft. If a crime is committed, it is hard to find the culprit.

Describe A Piece Of Good News You Heard From Others

You should say:

• What it was?
• When you received this news?
• How you received this news?
• Why you feel it was a good news ?

Sample Answer

One good news that brought me immense happiness was when my best friend announced about her second marriage. It was a moment we had been eagerly awaiting, and the news filled our hearts with joy and excitement for the new chapter in her life. My best friend Shreya got married at an early age of 23. Little did she know that this marriage would turn into a nightmare. She was into an abusive marriage and she struggled hard for about 2 years to make it work but it was getting worse day by day. A day arrived when she finally decided to leave that abusive marriage.

Years passed but none of us could convince her for a second marriage. As she was too scared to get into a relationship after all that she went through. Recently, she announced about her engagement with a decent guy. Who loved her a lot and she was able to move out of her past after struggling for years.

Hearing about my best friend’s engagement was a truly heartwarming experience. I felt overjoyed for her and her partner as they embarked on this new journey together. It was a joyous moment for us. And I was extremely happy for my friend.

People share good news in many ways. These days people have the facility of WhatsApp which helps in sharing information in no time. People share good news face to face as well.

In my opinion it is important to publish both. Fair media should depict both the positive and negative stories so that the viewers can get a better image of what is happening in the world.

Yes, it is a part of human nature that most people like to share good news. Because sharing good news gives us immense joy and happiness.

Describe Something You Do To Keep Your Mind Sharp.

You should say:

• What is it?
• When did you learn about it?
• Are there any additional benefits of learning it?
• How often do you do this?

Sample Answer

Having a healthy body and a strong mind is desirable for everyone. People do surfeit things to keep their brains robust. From eating a nutritious diet to consulting experts, a plethora of options are there to indulge people. One thing that I believe has been most helpful is solving a Rubik’s cube. Solving this puzzle takes a lot of concentration. There are a quintillion ways to decipher this complex game. I learned about Rubik’s cube from my math tutor, who used to help me out when I was studying in high school. Learning to solve a Rubik’s cube takes a lot of patience and strong will.

It requires a lot of time, but inevitably, it is truly rewarding. I was not doing so well at studies in high school, but after my curiosity about solving this puzzle turned into a hobby, I improved my memory and level of patience significantly. In the beginning, I used to solve it daily, but with life getting busy, I still do this at least twice a week.

I think both are equally important and related. A person who has a healthy body signifies that he or she also does things to keep their wit quick.

Q.2 Do you think people are neglecting their health to earn more money?

Yes. Definitely, people these days are more inclined towards making money. With the abundance of things available in the health-related market, some people believe that eating branded supplements can reduce workout time.

Q.3 What kind of job does a person with a sharp mind prefer?

People with a clever mind are present in every sector of employment. I believe that intelligent people prefer a job that uses most of their skills and also pays well. People in academics, politics, sports, and even entertainment need to act smart to shine in their field.
