IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Dating

Dating is when two people meet either because they want to assess each other for future relationship, or as friends just to hang out together and make some memories. No matter what reason you choose for dating, it is something very common when a person is young and wants to explore himself or herself and the outer world. Let us today, have a look at some of the questions related to dating.

Where is the best place in your city to take a date?

I would prefer taking someone to Oxford book store. It is not a very quite place, but I being a bibliophile enjoy when there are lots of books around. And in the oxford book store, you can find lots of books and towards the end of the book store there are tables and seats where you can sit and it is very close to the window. They even serve you coffee. For me, I think it is perfect, because being a book store it is quiet and you can just while away your time, together.

What can you do if you want to save money and go on a date?

I think the best way to save money and go on a date would be to take your date to a nature’s place, instead of going to those expensive restaurants. A place very near to nature, like beach or a stroll around a garden, helps you know the person more and experience some quality time together. Because, often the best things in world ain’t expensive.

How common are blind dates in your country?

Blind dates is a very new concept in our country, however, ironically blind marriages have been very common in the past, where people used to see their partners only on the night of marriage. But, blind dates has come out only after the coming of internet and phones. These days there are so many apps where people can just talk and then meet each other.

Do most blind dates go well? If not, why not?

I think it depends on luck.  If you meet someone who possibly has same opinion as yours or wants to know your opinion, then a blind date should go out very well. But, if the other person is simply trying to put on you what they think is right or tries to show you down, a blind date can turn out to be a disaster.

What is the best way to meet boyfriends or girlfriends?

I think there is no best way of meeting your loved ones. Because, I think when we are meeting our loved ones, it is good if there is nothing hidden or put on to hide something. I would say, if there is any, best way to meet, then it should probably be meet them as you are. Show them the real you, the idiot you, the wise you, the ugly you, the beautiful you, the way you are, no pretending, only the real you.

Describe your ideal date.

My ideal date would be somewhere very quiet, where the only person I can see is my loved on. It could be somewhere in the beach during night or a walk down the road with trees all around. I don’t fantasize anything very out of the box or larger than life, but yes, a simple daily life with a twist of lot of love would be special for me.

What was the worst/best date that you have ever been on?

The best date I have ever been would be with a friend I met some time back. We just thought of meeting and met around 6 in the evening near the backside of our office. Now, this place is all surrounded by trees and everything is so quiet and there is only one shop of Cafe, Coffee day. We went there, ordered our stuff and then sat down, simply talking and listening, pouring our hearts out and it was so magical, that life felt so much better after that.

When two people go on a date, who should pay?

I think it should be more of fifty-fifty. In my opinion, the idea of the male sweeping the girl of her feet is too over the top. On a date, I would prefer when we both order stuff and pay it together. It brings lot more unity, I suppose because it is no longer anyone trying to impress other but simply each one showing their side with the aim of accepting the others.

How many people should you date before getting married?

There should not be any number or count on it, I suppose. One can go on as many dates as they want to and meet as many people as they want to, before they get married. Because, marriage is not about simply living your life with the other person, it is about sharing your life with the other and if you are not comfortable with the other person, there is no point of getting married.

What do you think of double dates?

I think nothing of double dates. In my opinion, it is the most stupid thing one does, if people involved in double date are not aware of it. Yes, if you tell the other person, that I am interacting with other people as well then there shouldn’t be any problem, because in that case you are getting to know lot of people and there is no romantic side to it. But, if there is trust and loyalty involved, double dates is a miserable thing to do.

OVERCOME ANXIETY WHILE SPEAKING

If English is a second language to you, you may feel anxious, especially when the person you are talking to is a native speaker. How to remove this anxiety speaking? But what is anxiety? The feelings that you get when your heart starts beating faster or you start to shake. You may feel nervous. This is anxiety. So, what should you do to get rid of this? Well, you can always follow the tips given below, but remember; just knowing what you should do is not enough. You need to actually inculcate them in your daily life to fight anxiety.

1.Breathe-:Take a deep breath whenever you feel anxious. There are times when you are surrounded by people and you won’t like to do it. But, even in those times, try taking deep breathe; just make sure they don’t see you doing this. The heart that is beating fast calms down when you breathe. So, breathe when you feel anxious.
2.Walk-: Whenever you feel anxious, may be before a presentation or a meeting, take small walk. May be around your room. It can actually calm you down. By walking I don’t mean that you need to take hours of walk just to improve your speaking.

3.Automate language-: You must have heard the old adage,” practice makes perfect”. Automate language means exactly that. When you practice something again and again, your brain starts doing it automatically for you. So, practice English. Practice the expressions, practice more till you start doing it automatically.

4.You need not to be perfect-: When you hear a native speaker, some of you may say wow, they speak so well. But the fact is they make a lot of mistakes. Mistakes in terms of grammar or vocabulary. No one is there to judge you harshly. It is okay to make mistakes as long as you are ready to rectify them or learn from them. Remember, you cannot be perfect on day 1.
5.Mantras-: Mantras are the words you say to yourself. For example, you could have a mantra like;” I am a good speaker”. So whenever you make mistake, say it to yourself. Repeat it again. Language is a powerful tool. You become what you say to yourself, because after all that is what you think. Speak positive to you, even in the times of negativity. Speak positive. Keep the flame of hope burning.
Anxiety is just a problem, and like all other problems it also has a solution. Solve it and live your dream.

IELTS Essay Sample Answer # Basis Of Salary

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Salary should be given on the basis of skill set not experience.
Do you agree or disagree with the statement?

Write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER – AGREE

Money is one of the most important factor that comes into foreplay when people decide the job that they will take. Some people believe that it is the experience that counts more than the skill sets and person should be given salary on the basis of it. While others are of the opinion that experience surely is important however skill set is what should be the basis of salary. In my view point, the importance of experience cannot be denied but the basis of salary should be the skill sets.

It might be possible that a person has been working for the pst few years on a particular technology but often it has been seen that merely sitting and working does not gives the in depth knowledge of the concepts. People who work do get to know ho work is done but the basic concepts often get deprived. Hence, it cannot be said that just because a person was working for n number of years on it, they are likely to know more from someone who has the in-depth theoretical knowledge of the subject.

Even more, a person who has the right skill set for a particular job can always do the same task in a better way. For example, a labour has an experience of building houses for years but he can never replace the architect, because an architect is more skilled than a labour. An experienced person knows how to do things they way they are told, but a person with right skill set knows how to do things the right way.

Overall, in my opinion, experience surely is important but it cannot outweigh the person who has the perfect skill set.

SAMPLE ANSWER – DISAGREE

Money is one of the most important factor that comes into foreplay when people decide the job that they will take. Some people believe that it is the experience that counts more than the skill sets and person should be given salary on the basis of it. While others are of the opinion that experience surely is important however skill set is what should be the basis of salary. In my view point, skill set is necessary to do things correctly but it is always experience that allows an individual to take correct decision.

A person who has worked on real life scenarios knows how to solve a problem practically rather than theoretically. For example, someone who has studied from the best law school is likely to know less about law than a person who has an experience of dealing with situation in the court. A person with experience moves ahead of the stringent rules written in the book and knows how to make things work.

Even more, often what gets written in the books is way to back of what is actually being done in the production. So, a person who knows the work is more likely to solve the issues than merely someone who has got the skills to do the work.

Overall, in my opinion, skills surely are important to do things because they teach how to do things in a different manner. However, it is experience that teaches how to make things happen beyond the stringent rules written in books.
