IELTS Speaking Sample Question # Cheating

Cheating is when you act dishonestly  or unfairly to get an advantage. So, there are people who cheat on exams, some cheat on their partners others cheat themselves on their life. It is something so common, that it often becomes no big deal. Let us today have a look at some questions related to cheating and find out if it is a big deal!

What is your definition of cheating?

I think cheating is when you lie for an advantage. Like, people lie to themselves when they are cheating in a exam for some extra marks. Or, some cheat on their partners because they get fun some where else.

Have you ever cheated?

Sadly yes. I have cheated in different exams of my college. But, at that time neither those exams were important, nor the degree so I was mostly not affected. However, when a company came for our placements, although everyone was cheating, I chose not to.

Why do you think that people cheat?

I think the main reason for people cheating is because they don’t find it a big deal. There are people for whom lying is not a very bad thing which cannot be done. So, they think of the profit and do things that take them there, letting nothing come between.

Have you ever been caught cheating on an exam?

No, as far as I can remember, no. But, there was a friend of mine who was caught cheating and I remember he was asked to leave the examination hall at the very moment.
CHEATING

If you had a chance to cheat now, would you take it?

No, I think I have come to a stage in my life,where I understand that cheating is not done to others. When you cheat, you are actually cheating with your life, giving false hopes and you are not free. Because, deep inside you know that whatever you have achieved in your life is a result of cheating, a lie.

In what situations do people usually cheat?

There are two types of people. One of them, cheat just for fun and they can do it always, in any situation. Because, for them cheating is no big deal. But, then there are those ethical people, who do sometime cheat, but I think it is only when it is desperate or urgent. Like, my college topper she cheated in an exam of placement because she wanted to get job in a company and losing was not what she could afford.

Have you ever been cheated on by somebody else?

Not very strictly, but yes there was a friend of mine and I thought he would be there for me, in times of need. But, when I was in a real trouble and I asked for help, he preferred going on a date with a girl. And I felt bad because I was in a real need of help. And what affected me the most was he said he would help and I was left standing alone, waiting for the help.

Describe a time when you cheated and it helped you?

Lot of times I would say, to be very frank. But, this one time I remember. I was preparing for an exam and by mistake prepared for the wrong one. It was so frustrating because I did not knew anything about it. The girl sitting ahead of me, told me in that practical exam and I was able to pass it. I think it was the time I couldn’t have done anything without cheating.

Do you think if people stopped cheating the world would be a better place?

Definitely yes, because no matter how much we deny it, honesty surely is the best thing to do and may be people will achieve a little less but I am sure they will be happy about whatever they achieve in their lives.

What do you think of people who cheat in their relationships?

I don’t think anything of them, neither there is any respect for them in my heart nor any hatred. For me, people like these deserve no attention and should be directly ignored. Because, if a human cannot understand the emotions of others and chooses to play with it, there is nothing much you can say about it. However, yes if the relation is damaging, either mentally or physically and someone finds solace in other person, it is fine. But, that is in rare conditions.

What do you think can be done to prevent cheating?

I think cheating can be prevented if right from the beginning we are taught the importance of being honest. When children are not punished often, I think it is when children start getting punishments, they learn how to cheat. Because, that is their way of molding things and saving themselves. Also, awarding anyone who is honest can help reduce people who cheat.

IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Understanding Internet

Internet is everywhere and with the entire world being on Internet, it has become the most important thing after electricity. With so many people and households using Internet, let us today have a look at some of the questions related to Internet in order to understand it better.

Does your family have wireless Internet access in your home?

No, we don’t have wireless Internet access. Primarily because, my brother is doing Bachelors in Technology from a different city and I am doing a job somewhere else. It is only once or twice in a year that we go back home. So, having a wireless Internet has no point in it. However, I do have it in my house at the place where I work.

Do you access the Internet from your mobile phone?

Yes, I do access Internet from phone but I prefer using a laptop or a desktop for accessing Internet. It is only for whats app or may be when I need to emergently see something online that I use mobile phone.

What type of pages do you access with your phone?

On my phone, I mostly access my bank website or facebook and sometimes the general questions that pop up during the day.

Do you have many e-mail addresses?

I have got two e-mail addresses, one is for my personal work while the other is for my professional job. It helps me to segregate the two and enjoy the best of both worlds.

Why do you need more than one e-mail address?

Having more than one email address helps in making the data secure. So, like the work email that I have will never contain any private or personal information and vice versa. If in case any one of them gets hacked then I am not losing everything.
understanding the internet

Have you ever chatted on the Internet?

Yes, I have. I have had Facebook account for a very long time, before I finally chose to shut it down. Now, I use whatsapp when I want to talk to people.

Is it dangerous to meet people on the Internet?

I think there is surely some risk involved when you meet a person using Internet because it might be possible that the person that you meet online has faked a lot of things. There have been cases when people met someone online and when they met in real life,things got better. Often the relationship went on to getting married. So, anything can happen but I think apart from the rare cases involved, it is always better to meet people offline and get to know them there.

Would you like to go on a date with someone you meet on the Internet?

I think I might go out on a date but that would be along with a friend. I don’t think there would ever be something like a romantic first date with someone I met on Internet.

Do you think governments have the right to censor the Internet?

Too an extent yes. Because, there are so many ill forces that are acting continuously, that might harm the people. But, then I believe that there should be certain level of freedom associated with it as well. So, it should be free largely with strict laws only at certain places or some websites.

Do you think that the Internet is safe for children? Why?

I believe, No. Internet is not something children should do extensively. Primarily because it is the time when they can make real time friends, go out and play games and get to know each other physically. There is nothing better than playing cricket with a bunch of friends in a field or fighting over some silly point and these things cannot be found in Internet. Also, children don’t know how to use it properly so there are more chances of them getting struck into those malware present in Internet.

Do you think that it is important for schools to have Internet access? Why?

I think definitely yes. A school should provide Internet access but then it should be more of restricted. So, that children are able to use it but only for their own betterment, like allowing them to see the education sites or knowledge related videos. Because, there are still people who cannot afford quality Internet and if a school can provide it there is nothing better than that. But, it should be strictly monitored and made sure that children are watching what they should watch.

I think there is no need of Internet in schools. Children only go there for some time and in that period, there is so much that can be done, you can read books, make friends, play games that I don’t think there is any time left. But, yes, if a child wants to see something online, they can be provided access but it should be completely monitored.

IELTS Speaking # Work And You

We all work for our living and it could be anything. Let us today have a look at some questions that figure out the relation between work and you.

What do you do for living?

Professionally, I am a software engineer but I also work as a content writer for various websites.

Describe your workstyle.

I really don’t have a very specific work style. On weekdays, I work for living on and during weekends I work for myself. I love travelling and writing, so during weekends I pursue my passion.

What are your responsibilities at work.

I am a data analyst in the project that I am working on. My task is to ensure that accurate data comes to the final data ware house so that the next team, the one that does reporting gets clean and right data. As a travel blogger, I am responsible for writing post that tells the reader everything about the place and the people and the culture.

How do you handle pressure at your workplace?

Well, I usually do a physical exercise whenever pressure comes in. It could be either dancing or running. But, when I am not able to do either of these, I settle for either writing or listening to music.

How many hours do you work each day?

I work 9 hours each day, which includes a break of 2 hours.

How did you get this job?

Well, I am done my Bachelors in technology in Information Technology. So, during the last year, lot of companies came in for campus recruitment and I got selected at Infosys.

Work and you

Do you enjoy your work?

Oh! Yes I do. It is lot of fun interacting with so many people and grilling each other to get to the best option available and then we can always go out and play and be part of lot of things I never thought I could be.

What do you dislike about your work?

The only think that I really don’t like about being a software engineer is that apart from being a great job, it is not something very close to my heart. At hear, I am a writer, traveler and a reader. And I would definitely would want to do something near to it.

Describe your career goals.

To be very frank, I would say I don’t have any definite career goals as such. I just want to follow what steve jobs said, ” Do what you  love and love what you do”. I really want to be someone who wakes up every morning feeling great about the day and sleeping at night feeling satisfied with the work that I have done.

Do you prefer to work alone or on a team?

I think both work fine for me. As a software engineer, it is always a great idea to start off the work as a team because you get to know lot of ideas that you can work upon. Different approaches that could be followed and simpler ways by which the task could be done. After that, I think it is good to work alone and bring in your creativity to the work.

Do you think team work is important?

Definitely yes. When you are working on a big project or even a small task, the creativity that team work brings along, can never be replaced by what an individual can do. Because, when one person does the same thing, there are more chances of bugs, but when an entire team does it, you can find lot of new aspects of the work, which might have remained hidden.

If you could change your job or profession, what would you do?

I would definitely become a professional travel blogger and travel around the world, write about it, make videos and interact with people, get to know about cultures and may be just show everyone what truly the world holds. After this, may be I would open a company that gives equal education rights to everyone, because I think education is something very important for everyone.

Do you think your way of work will change in future?

I hope so. Because, I wish to  be able to open my own company and do work for myself, not only on weekends but everyday.

Describe the process of getting a job in your country.

For getting a job in my country, it is very important that you have done some sort of graduation or post graduation. Most of the companies look out for the college degrees and then grant the job. One can even clear different exams held at national level to land up an exciting job, but having a degree is a must. But, yes if one wants to do the unconventional jobs, like photography or writing, I think what matters is your work and not a degree.
