Sample Answer

Changes are an integral part of our life. Today, I’m going to talk about a recent change that I brought about in my life.
I am pursuing a 4-year diploma in hotel management. It’s is a full-time course which includes a lot of lectures and practical work. Spending long hours in college, part-time work, and project work in the library, not to mention other responsibilities – all of them started taking their toll on me. I became stressed, sleep deprived and cranky. I was generally frustrated, short-tempered and unhappy.

My friends posed an intervention and told me they were worried for me, this statement really awakened me. I thought I could handle the stress but seeing them suffer the side effects of my workaholism, I decided to do something about it.

I joined yoga classes in the morning. Initially, I felt that this might be a waste of time but I was proven wrong when my classmates said I looked happier and refreshed. I myself noticed a change in my aura and productivity.

This change redefined my outlook on things, I noticed that little things do in fact matter. In today’s fast-paced world, we have forgotten the true essence of life. We should keep on making small experimental changes in our life. They give it a splash of colour. All in all, this change had a positive impact on me and my loved ones. I will definitely continue to do yoga no matter where I go.

IELTS Speaking: Part 3 questions related to work of art you saw

IELTS Speaking: Part 3 questions related to work of art you saw

The examiner may ask questions about the works of art (e.g. paintings, sculptures and monuments). Here are a few art related questions.

How do people in your country feel about art?

Answer: Unfortunately, art is the least popular subject in my country. People don’t appreciate art very much. Sadly, artists are often neglected and their work remains unrecognized.

Answer: Art holds a special place in my country. In fact, there are many museums and art galleries where a wide range of local and international works of art are displayed. People from all walks of life visit them. They love art and appreciate artists.

Do people in your country prefer music over art?

Answer: Yes, they do. Music is an integral part of people’s life. Indians love all genres of music like classical, rap, pop, rock and jazz etc. I’d like to mention that young and old people have different tastes in music. The young generation enjoys fast music with beats whereas the elderly listen to slow and soothing music.

Are older people more interested in art than younger people?

Answer: Considering the inclination of young adults towards technology, I’d say that the elderly value and love art more than young people. But, I’ve been to many foreign art galleries and museums, I always found them full of teenagers, adults and old people. So, it’s quite difficult for me to decide if age can change people’s views about art or not. May be, it depends on the popularity of art at a given place.

Should the government provide support for art and cultural activities?

Answer: Art and cultural programs help people connect with their cultures. For keeping our cultural diversity alive, artists must be promoted at all levels. Any kind of support, in the form of money or resources, will enable artists to make a decent living and earn respect in society.

Sample answer:

One particular event which I remember quiet clearly was when I had to babysit my little niece Apu. She was about 4 years old and adored stories. In order to entertain her I picked the obvious route of introducing her to a story telling based game. This game heavily relied on the use of a creative imagination. I started off with a sentence which she in turn completed. Together we both created a magical world with flying mermaids and ice cream houses, it would have been quite a sight to behold. As we were creating the world beyond our dreams, I realised I felt like a mischievous kid. Once more I was free and happy, oblivious to what lay beyond our happy little world. Together me and Apu had a blast, we did not even notice when the time flew by. Since then it’s become her favourite game and we always play it together whenever I visit her.

Sample answer

Today I am going to speak about a place where I went on holidays.

The name of the place is Manali. It’s a picturesque hill station located in Himachal Pradesh, a state in northern India.

I went to Manali last week with my family. Since it is quite far, approximately 500 kilometers, from my hometown Dehradun, we decided to set off on Friday night. It was a very long drive, about 12 hours. We reached there on Saturday morning.

Manali has a lot to offer to its tourists of all ages. For the elderly and religious people, there are many ancient temples. Young adventure seekers have a wide range of sporting activities like skiing, snowmobiling, rafting, river crossing, trekking and paragliding etc. at their disposal.

On the first day of our holiday, we trekked through a dense cedar forest to reach Hadimba temple. It is the oldest temple of Manali and has a lot of religious significance in the local community. The next day we went to Solang Valley. Fortunately, we found plenty of snow in the valley. Without wasting our time, we made a small but very pretty igloo. We took the photographs of all the places we visited.

This place has impressed me very much. The main reason is its pleasant weather. Apart from that, people are honest, friendly and co-operative. They always give you the right information. Transport facilities and hotels are also well-maintained.
