IELTS Speaking Part I Sample Questions # Flower

Flowers are the beautiful part of our nature that make our life lively and worth living. Although there are some people allergic to flowers, most of us love them. Each one has their own favorites and enjoys gifting and being gifted flowers. This time we are looking at the part I sample questions on flowers.

Do you like to have flowers in your home?

I love flowers but I am elated about them. There is no art or life that I find in the scent of the roses neither my mind goes to an abstract mode with flowers. I do love them to an extent that if someone offers me flowers I feel happy about it.

Where would you go to buy flowers?

Earlier I used to go to floral shops to get flowers or get them from street vendors but now with technology coming into picture, I usually get flowers from ferns and petals or some other online shops.

On what occasions would you give someone flowers?

There could be various occasions where we can give flowers. I prefer on marriages and death ceremonies. Giving flowers on birthdays or when someone is sick is not my idea. I will preferably go with some personal gifts on birthdays and fruits when someone is sick.

Where can you see flowers in your country?

There are 29 states in my country and one can find almost a kind of flower which is each state’s speciality. But most people in our country like to grow flowers in their house. So, probably everyone does have a garden attached to their home. However, with space issues becoming prominent in major cities, people now have small pots where they grow flowers. Other than this, one can find them in gardens and parks or in any other monumental place.

Are flowers important in your culture?

Flowers do play an important role in our culture. For example, lotus symbolises wealth and divinity, knowledge and enlightenment. It is central in many yantra patterns and form part of many designs of decorations in more secular contexts. There are flowers like marigold which are considered auspicious in our country and are used in marriages. For festivals like Onam, people make rangoli from the propitious flowers like marigold.

What flowers have special meaning in your country?

There is a rich cultural heritage associated with my country. Flowers like marigold, lotus, crown flower, china rose are the ones which are very auspicious in the country and are used in every propitious thing. China rose is used for the worship of Durga. Sita Ashoka also has significance in our culture. It is believed that Sita sat under the Ashok tree when she was abducted by Ravana. There are many other flowers with significance and our country has some tale associated with most of the flowers.

Statement of Interest (SoI) / Statement of Purpose (SoP) Sample

Civil engineering has been an integral part of our lives since ages. It is one of the most useful application of physical and scientific principles. As a child I enjoyed learning the fundamentals of Physics and Mathematics. Their wide range of applications in the field of civil engineering motivated me to become an engineer. Currently, I am pursuing my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech, 4th Year) in Civil Engineering from IIT Roorkee, India. I expect to receive my first degree in June 2017.
Upon receiving my Bachelor’s degree, I plan to continue my education by studying a Master’s course in Construction Management at Arizona State University. My interest in construction management was sparked by topics such as construction principles, design of concrete structures and behavior of materials introduced to me in 3 semester courses. Participation in summer trainings gave me a glimpse of the challenges one might face while working in this dynamic sector. I aim to enhance my existing knowledge, learn new skills and build a rewarding career in this industry.
During my Bachelor’s I have had a comprehensive exposure to the core areas of Civil Engineering such as engineering physics, properties of steel and reinforced concrete, design of steel structures, structural analysis and estimation and costing etc. However, the field that has stirred me the most is construction management. I have obtained 82% marks in this course. I have performed very well in other subjects as well. My aggregate percentage up to 6th semester is 79%. In addition, I have gained a lot of practical experience through projects and summer trainings.
In my first summer training (from 1st June 2015 to 30th June 2016) I worked under the guidance of an architect. I learnt various foundation related activities such as BBS (Bar Bending Schedule), estimation of the amount and cost of concrete and bricks required. In July 2015 I completed my 2nd summer training from Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Roorkee, India on the project “ABC in Reinforced concrete”. The main objective of this research work was to develop an understanding of ABC in reinforced concrete and to determine the depth of carbonation in RCC structures.
Concrete ABC is the process in which atmospheric carbon dioxide reacts with the alkaline components of hardened concrete and creates calcium carbonate. This in turn makes the reinforcing steel susceptible to damage from corrosion. I conducted experiments with different types of concrete mixtures to measure the depth of carbonation. I also investigated the effects of temperature and humidity on the rate of carbonation. I found that ABC increases with the rise in temperature. In addition, I determined the moisture diffusion coefficient of concrete by measuring the interior humidity of concrete specimens. An inverse relationship between concrete strength and moisture content was observed.
During my training I also gained hands on experience of casting cubes, cylinders and prisms. I also made Excel sheets to perform complex and lengthy calculations to calculate the above mentioned parameters. I can confidently use software like AutoCad. I demonstrated my building modeling proficiency in a workshop conducted by IIT Mumbai. I derived the parameters of the leaning tower of Pisa in Autocad and made a model of the tower with ice cream sticks. Currently, I am learning the professional project management software Primavera P6.
My 4th year project is in progress. It is a team project which focuses on enhancing the strength of concrete by admixture. Chemical admixtures are the smallest component of a concrete mix. They impart significant beneficial effects to concrete properties in terms of performance, durability and environment optimization leading to sustainability etc. Our aim is to derive the strength of cubes casted with cement concrete and concrete with admixtures.
During my B.Tech I published a paper titled “ABC Concrete from Industrial Waste – A Review”, in the International Journal of Innovative Research in Science (IJIRSET), Engineering and Technology, Vol. N, Issue 12, December 2016, ISSN (Print): 9999-8888 . I have also gathered valuable experience in interacting with faculty members and developed presentation skills via technical discussions and presentations. Throughout my education I have had an excellent academic record. Considering my research and data analysis skills I believe that I can successfully complete the graduate program at Arizona State University.
In my Master’s I would like to expand my knowledge of the latest construction techniques and develop business management skills which can be applied in a wide of construction projects. In addition, I wish to study and do research under Dr. Kenneth Sullivan whose papers in civil and environmental engineering have been greatly revered.
As mentioned above, I am passionate about Civil Engineering and I would like to join the MSc Construction Management program at Arizona State University which happens to be making waves in this sector. I selected this university for my Master’s because I strongly believe that the learning environment plays a critical role in gaining knowledge and expertise. More importantly, your program combines engineering and business curricula, which prepares construction executives to take leading roles. I firmly believe that pursuing my graduation from ASU will definitely give direction to my pursuits of becoming a successful construction professional in the future so that I can serve my countrymen.
