The bar chart illustrates the variation in the proportion of obese adults in four different regions in 1980, 1990 and 2000.
One striking feature of the chart is that Japan had the lowest proportion of corpulent people in all three given years. Figures stood at about two percent in the 80s and 90s and rose by only one percent in 2000, indicating that the degree of change was the smallest in Japan.
Looking at Finland and Australia, around six percent Finnish and Australians were overweight in 1980. By the end of the period, the proportion of obese Finnish had almost doubled while that of Australians nearly tripled, reaching approximately 20%. This shows that the rate of increase in Australia was much higher than Finland.
Focusing on the distribution of overweight adults in America, it is clear that the USA had the highest percentage of obese people in each of the given years. The percentage rose from 15% in 1980 to a whopping 30% in 2000.

IELTS Speaking # foods

IELTS Band 7 Food

IELTS Speaking question 1: What are some of your favourite foods?

Answer A:  Well, the word food itself tickles our taste glands and in a country like India, we come across a variety of food. But I like home made food the most. Especially, the South Indian cuisine attracts me towards its mouth watering taste. I also love spicy Punjabi food.

Answer B: Like most of the people, I like street food. It is exciting as it uses loud and strong tastes to make an impact. It has no pretensions and therefore it hits the spot every time. Moreover, it can be prepared in minutes or requires a minimal assembly. Hot Dogs, Burgers, Pizzas and Momos are some of the food which I like the most.

 

Speaking question 2: What foods are popular in your country?

Answer: In India people have a vast variety of tastes. But, overall, people prefer street foods. Such foods evoke strong reaction in the brain and in taste, therefore these are established as the best in our minds. Today, street foods like, Gol Gappa, Momos, Chowmein, etc. rule the roost. Moreover, its pricing makes it easy to access for all.

 

Speaking question 3: What are some of the famous dishes of your country?

Answer: In India, there are countless dishes which have crossed the border of respective states to cover the entire nation in its taste, In North India, people enjoy Parathas, Gol Gappa, Chhole Bhature, etc. If we head towards western part, we come across delicacies like Bhel Puri, Choorma and Fasan. Eastern states prefer Chinese food like, Momos, Chowmein etc. Southern part of the country witnesses a variety in taste and dishes like Idli, Dosa, Sambhar, Toddy are the best examples.

 

Speaking question 4: Do you enjoy cooking?

Answer A: Yes, I enjoy cooking and am enthusiastic to perform experiments on different dishes. Sometimes, it comes out with a great new taste but many a times I have faced pathetic failures. But for me it’s a hobby so I love to cook and feed my friends and family.

Answer B: To be very honest, I don’t like cooking very much because I love the food cooked by my mother and being a foodie I am offered many cuisines at home. So, rather than going to the kitchen, it’s far more easy to be present in the dining hall.

IELTS Speaking # smoking

IELTS Speaking # smoking

IELTS Speaking question 1: What do you feel about smoking in public places?

Answer: Firstly, it isn’t even a little bit pleasant to be surrounded by the smoke of cigarettes or other substances. Secondly, passive smoking is as harmful as active smoking. Therefore, in my opinion, it’s pretty selfish to smoke in public places and the reason for that is quite convincing: it negatively influences others to indulge in active smoking. Keeping these facts in mind, I support a strict ban on smoking in public places.

 

IELTS Speaking question 2: Do you think smoking should be banned in people’s homes?

Answer: I think in a democratic country like India, it’s not practical and feasible for the government to ban smoking in homes. All of us have a right of privacy and we want to lead the life of our choice. So, I am not in favor of a ban on smoking as it may lead to other crimes. Instead of this, government can think about a massive social awareness program through advertisements and health warning messages on tobacco products.
