• What the T.V. series is about?
• How often it is broadcast?
• Who acts in it?
• What interests you about it?

SAMPLE ANSWER

The T.V. Show which I’m currently obsessed with is ‘Lucifer. It’s an American T.V. Series that was first premiered on Fox in 2016. The Show is about the life of the protagonist, Lucifer, who after being dissatisfied to be the Lord of Hell, resigns from his throne against the wishes of his father (God) and starts residing on Earth. He settles down in Los Angeles, where he ends up running his own nightclub by the name Lux and also guided the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department)

Lucifer, which was first broadcasted in 2016, has 5 seasons in total holding 24 episodes each. The show is broadcasted in every six months. After Fox cancelled the series, Netfix authorized it. The fifth and the final season is released in 2019.

The main actors of this Series include Tom Ellis, D.B. Woodside, Lauren German who play the book adaption characters of The Sandman. Out of all the actors, Tom Ellis who plays the character of Lucifer is my favorite mainly due to his charming personality, humorous dialogues and British accent.

The thing that interests me the most about the entire series are the celestial activities that take place from time to time among the biblical characters. The demonic possessions and their connection with the lifestyle of L.A. draws my undivided attention. The best part is although it’s fictional, the unrealistic characters appears to be so real to the viewers. Each episode has a new murder mystery to solve where Lucifer, Chloe and Dan work together. The thing that appeals to me was the mysterious ending of each episode where I couldn’t resist myself from watching the next episode.

Describe a book that influenced you?

• What that book was?
• How you first heard of the book?
• What is the main story of the book?
• Why this book is important?

SAMPLE ANSWER

The book /novel that had a major impact and developed my interest in reading is ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte. It was published in 1840s, (1847 to be precise).Though many readers thought of it as a disturbing and a novel full of contradictions, I personally enjoyed every detail of it.

There’s a popular saying that there’s no friend as loyal as a book. Being a person of impatient and restless nature, I had the habit of not completing any book I started reading. It was when a teacher of mine recommended us to read the ‘Wuthering Heights’ while she was discussing about the Bronte sisters and Jane Eyre at a seminar.

The book is about a powerful love story of Heathcliff and Catherine, but it is very different from a typical love story as it follows the self-destructive way of Heathcliff and his vengeful nature due to his unrequited love for Catherine. The subject of revenge, envy, gender inequality clashes between social classes predominate the book. The novel also incorporates gothic and supernatural elements like the appearances of ghosts. Moreover, physical violence and abuse are also present in most part of this book.

The reason why ‘Wuthering Heights’ plays such a significant role in my life is that firstly, it is written by a female writer during those days when it was considered unethical for a woman to pen down her thoughts especially when the novel is autobiographical. Secondly, after reading this book my perspective towards English literature changed completely and I developed a keen interest in reading as well.

OTHER OPTIONS-

1. ‘The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari’ was written by Robin Sharma in the late 1990s. It is a quite popular book among the youth of my country (India). In this book the author talks about different methods of achieving success in one’s life. It includes- cultivating one’s thoughts, being clear about one’s purpose in life, facing one’s fear, discipline and time management as a key to success. In the book, the author sells his mansion and Ferrari in order to head to the Himalayas to attain wisdom and knowledge.
2. ‘I Have A Dream’ is another Indian book authored by Rashmi Bansal in which the author illustrates the lives of twenty people who were social entrepreneurs. These people aimed to bring contentment and happiness in other’s lives. These social workers worked for the betterment of our society. It also shows that individual has the capacity to take up an issue and make this world a finer place to live in and highlights the power of determination.

Describe a happy day you would like to have

• Why would it be a happy day?
• What are you going to do on that day?
• With whom will you spend it?

And explain how you’ll feel about it

 SAMPLE ANSWER-

As I belong to an Indian village, there are many amenities that lack in the rural areas of my country. There is a high mortality rate due to insufficient health care facilities. Last year, I witnessed a close relative pass away in front of me while giving birth. It was extremely heart breaking for me and my family and I took a decision to set up adequate and low-cost health care facilities in my village. And the day I will be successful with my scheme, it would be a special day in my life.

I would like to bring free of cost health checkups and basic medical resources so that people of my village do not have to face the loss of their loved ones due to financial problem or lack of amenities. I would also like to train locals to conduct deliveries and care for new- born at low cost.

It’s my dream to introduce trained doctors in my village and get the hospital inaugurated by my family members. This would make not only my family but the fellow villagers proud and relieved of problems they face due to the absence of professional assistance.

The feeling of doing something for your loved ones is indescribable. The people in my village are too innocent and gullible. Due to which many cunning doctors and medical staff try to trick them by taking advantage of their illiteracy. I would feel contended if they are provided with the right information and assistance regarding their illness and they’re not misled by anyone.
