Describe a sportsperson you like or admire.

You should say:

• who this sportsperson is?
• ⁠what sports he or she plays?
• and how successful he or she is?
• explain why you like or admire him/her.

SAMPLE ANSWER

I am a medical student, I usually don’t get free time to watch sports channels or matches in my day-to-day life. However, the recent Olympic games in France in 2024 has made me develop an interest in sports. I watched all the sports’ highlights on my Jio TV at the end of the day.

One evening I was watching the highlights and I came across the men’s pole vault competition. It was a very new game for me. I hadn’t seen that earlier. In this game, the player has to run with a long pole and jump over a high bar with the aid of the pole. The match that I saw was a record-breaking one. In this tournament, a young player contested. He was from Sweden. His name is Armand Duplantis and he won his second consecutive Olympic gold medal, setting a world record of 6.25 meters (20 ft 6 inches). While watching this match, I felt that it was a game of concentration. In the first two attempts, Armand was quite anxious and he could not perform well.

However, his last attempt was quite different. He calmed himself and gave an excellent performance that broke all the previous world records. Another thing in this match that I noticed was that right after making the record, he ran to his family. This shows that he is a family-oriented person. Since then, he has become my favorite sportsperson because I really admired his focus and passion for the sport and his love for the family. He has achieved great success at a very young age and I aspire to do the same.

Describe a person who thinks a lot about music.

You should say:

• Who this person is?
• How do you know him/her?
• What music he/she likes?
• And explain how you feel about him/her

SAMPLE ANSWER

Music has no boundaries and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Today, I’d like to talk about my brother, who is a music enthusiast. His entire life revolves around music.
For my brother, music is not just a mere form of entertainment but a therapy that rejuvenates people and provides inner peace. He is also extremely fascinated by different genres, their history, and the musical instruments used to produce the beautiful tones that captivate our minds. I’ve seen him researching the types of music and how and when they originated, which sometimes makes no sense to me, but then I realise: Is this what is being called crazy about something?
I sometimes talk with him about music, and his answers surprise me. Conversations with him often circle back to music. When he listens to music, he doesn’t hear it; instead, he tries to absorb each detail of the song. He loves listening to all genres, but I feel the ones he is crazy about are classical and rock music.
I don’t know exactly how much the knowledge of music is helpful and how far it would take my brother. However, seeing him, I’ve realised that one needs to be passionate enough to learn something new. With time, patience and practice, we can achieve everything we aim for.

Describe a person you know who likes to talk a lot.

You should say:

• Who this person is?
• How do you know him/her?
• What he/she likes to talk about?
• And explain how you feel about this person.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Some people can talk endlessly for many hours, and surprisingly, they never feel bored. On the other side, I am the type of individual who would prefer solace and speaking the bare minimum. At my workplace, I’m surrounded by many talkative individuals. Ritu happens to be one of them. She is my lovely colleague who has a pleasing personality. She is tall with dusky complexion and possesses a beautiful smile.

Ritu is an absolute talker, so having her around will keep anyone entertained. She is not limited to any one subject to discourse on; rather, she is self-sufficient. Ritu has a lot of talents, but her sense of humour makes her the ultimate performer. She does stand-up comedy and completely nails it during our holiday meetings and business get-togethers. She can, however, occasionally become a bit annoying and challenging to manage. Ritu once received a severe reprimand from our manager for talking nonstop about the product at a meeting.

I believe she was making every effort to impress the clients but she was unable to control her tendency to talk excessively. The client found too much information confusing and didn’t show much interest in our services. Fortunately, the deal was saved by one of our brilliant negotiators. I believe, she has a kind heart, but sometimes her overly chatty personality gets her into problems.

Part 3 follow-up questions

Q1. What communication skills are important?
I believe verbal communication and the skill of confidently stating one’s opinion are very essential. Moreover, I would like to add the importance of being a good listener for having smooth communication in conversation.

Q2. What jobs need employees to be talkative?
Jobs related to sales and marketing require employees to be expressive and have the ability to convince people. Additionally, people working at radio stations, especially radio jockeys, are expected to be entertaining by cracking jokes and talking a lot.

Q3. Should children be encouraged to talk more?
Well, children should definitely learn to present themselves without being scared, and learning communication skills will definitely help them in the long run. What needs to be closely checked is knowing what to say and where to say it. Being a good communicator requires a person to know how much to say and how to convey their opinion without being rude or disrespectful.

Describe a school you went to in your childhood.

You should say:

• Where it was?
• What it was like?
• What did you learn there and explain how you felt  about it?

SAMPLE ANSWER

When we talk about childhood, the first memories that we can recall are of our good times spent in school. I studied in Convent of Jesus & Mary, Dehradun. It is one of the most prestigious and oldest schools in Dehradun. Even though many years have passed since I left school, I vividly remember the impressive layout and architecture of my school.

There was a huge church at the entrance. After the church, there was a beautiful garden on one side and the rows of colourful seasonal flowers gave a warm welcome. All the students walked along this floral path towards the main building. A sense of calm pervaded over me when I stepped into the school every morning and walked down towards the main building.

The junior and senior sections had dedicated buildings. A vast playground separated the two wings. The playground was fully equipped with swings, monkey bars and sea-saws. Swings were my favourite. It was a routine for me to reach early so that I could play on the swings for few minutes before going to my class.

All the teachers in my school were very loving and caring. Throughout my schooling we were taught how to lead a disciplined life. The focus was on all round development and the teachers encouraged the students to participate in a range of extracurricular activities, from dramatics, dancing, singing to sports. The personality of every student was nurtured with utmost responsibility.

I consider myself fortunate to attend this school. Whatever I have achieved today the credit for it goes to the dedication of my school teachers.
