Sample Answer

I am very particular about buying things. I prefer to purchase those items only which I require the most. I can recall one incident here when I bought something out of excitement but later couldn’t use it a lot.

It was my brother’s wedding two years ago. It was the last wedding of my generation. We had all the necessary arrangements done. We had a photographer to capture the moments of the main rituals, however for rest of the events, I decided to shoot myself. Although I am not a professional photographer, I like photography. I spent a huge amount in buying a new DSLR Nikon camera. I used that camera during his pre-wedding ceremonies only and after that I didn’t use it a lot. No such events took place after that where I could show my photography skills. Another reason is that my busy working hours don’t allow me to go for holidays as well where I can capture some moments. I am working in a company where my 24×7 attention is needed. That is why I don’t get enough time to pursue my hobby of photography. I still keep that camera but did not use it a lot.

It’s a pity that I am unable to use it frequently and certainly there is no use of keeping it for a long time. I am planning to gift it to my niece who is also very fond of photography. She wants to pursue a course related to photography after her 12th exam. This camera will be very useful for her. I wish she may continue using it.

IELTS Writing Task 2 # Entry for Museums

Museums are that part of the country that showcase the past or the scientific or artistic nature of the things. Although, there are different variations of museums, some of them charge entry fees while others do not. In this writing task, we are looking at a sample answer, which weighs the advantages and disadvantages of charging people for museums.

Many museums charge for admission while others are free.

Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages?

SAMPLE ANSWER

Some museums are chargeable on entry for individuals. Although, there are some questions on this rule, in my opinion, the drawbacks for entrance are eclipsed by its benefits. The income can be ploughed back into operation and development of the museums.

The major disadvantage of entry fee for museum is a possibility of reducing the number of visitors. Most individuals are not very enthusiastic about entering into museums, charging fee might reduce the interest even further. In addition, museums are a great way of showing the culture to the poor, who often are not able to attend schools. Putting an entry fee limits the education that a country can provide to its economically backward individuals.

Granted an admission, might have a negative impact on the number of people visiting, but it surely uplifts the people maintaining and operating the museums. Museums feature educational exhibitions at times, and this could not have been done without a sum of money expended on hiring professionals and buying equipment. Even more, there are a lot of people employed within museums. Providing salary to them can only be possible if Museums have certain funding.

In conclusion, the disadvantages of an admission fee for the museums overcome the free entry considering all aspects of the development of museums.

IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Motivation

Motivation is the most important part of any exam preparation. There are different other aspects as well, but if you are not mentally ready for it, then chances are that, things are not going to happen in your favor. This time we are looking upon how to prepare yourself mentally for the IELTS Speaking exam.

THE MINDSET

Mindset is the most important aspect of preparation, so if you keep your mindset not as someone who is preparing for English. But, rather think yourself as someone who already knows English and is trying to make it better. Once, you do that, there is always a sense of confidence and you are trying to work further on it.

DEAL WITH FRUSTRATION

While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior. There is nothing worse than getting frustrated with life and taking certain actions that might not be in your own benefits. So, when preparing for the exam, you somehow find yourself feeling demotivated, do not give up. Just try one more time.

LISTEN MORE

Listening to IELTS Speaking is the most important thing to do. So, if you are bored preparing for the exam listen to the podcast. Podcast of anything that you like, listen about your hobbies, listen to interviews, but make sure that you listen to something that is knowledgeable. Because, when you do that you grasp the vocabulary and the way of speaking.

FLUENCY AND ACCURACY

Well, fluency and accuracy are two different aspects of English speaking and have to be practiced separately. So, when you are working on fluency, make sure that you speak a certain number of words in particular time. When checking on accuracy, try to make sure that you use the least number of filler words.

AVOID HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION

Speaking exam has a limited time for you. So, there is no point in beating around the bush! So, when explaining something in your speaking section, speak of something that is from your own memory. Speaking of memory makes it even more interesting for the listener.

MEMORIZE

Although, having template is not something that people appreciate, but we believe that there is always good in preparing some templates for tough situations. For example – I’m not quite sure if that is what you are talking about but I think…”

watching-tv Best IELTS Band 7 coaching in dehradun
Sample Answer

It has been observed that people are more inclined towards watching television these days. There are many reasons behind developing this habit among people. It has become a serious problem in society. However, few things can be taken to present the adverse effect of this problem.

Nowadays, stress has become a part of everyone’s life. Not to speak of working professionals, even students are also not untouched by this feeling. To release this stress, everyone needs some activity. Television is the best option they find to get entertained. Secondly, women who do not work outside their homes, for them television is a great source to pass their leisure time. Moreover, higher competition amongst satellite channels has resulted in different categories of programmes that attract all age group of people. These days, there are separate channels for entertainment, news, sports, music and sports. These options keep them glued to the screen.

There are few suggestions to resolve this problem. Firstly, one should try to generate new hobbies so that they can utilize their time in some fruitful activities instead of being inactive. Further, people can set some rules in family, for instance, every member should talk to each other and discuss how they spend their days. This custom will not only help them to share their feelings with other members but also family support is going to strengthen them to cope with day-to-day life stress. Finally, those who spend maximum time at home, they can be the part of any social or cultural group where they can indulge in creative activities like painting, music and arts and crafts.

To conclude, though it is true that people are spending more time in front of television. I assert that by implementing the above mentioned suggestions, people can change their lifestyles from sedentary to more active.
