Describe your family.

I live in a nuclear family, with my parents and a younger brother. My father is an engineer and lives in Aligarh whereas my mother is a home maker. My brother is currently doing his Bachelors in technology in Electronic Communication from Dwarahat.

How much time do you spend with your family?

I really love spending time with my family, however, my present job, which is a host for a show with fox traveler, requires me to travel a lot, so I am not able spend that much time with them. However, whenever I do get time I either call them to wherever I am or go to meet them at home.

What is your personal contribution to your family?

Towards my family, I make sure that I spend at least 2 days a month with my parents and my brother. So, most of the time we all make plans to make sure that we do spend those two days together, no matter where we are. Other than this, I give 5% of whatever my earnings are to my family.

What type of task do you do to assist your family members?

Well, most of the time I am doing the work that requires me to move out of house, like paying bills, buying grocery or going to bank.

Whom do you like most in your family? Why?

I love both my parents a lot. For me, nothing comes before them, so they are the first priority. To an extent this is because, I believe that who I am now is because of them. They have supported me through the toughest phase of my life and have enjoyed every moment of my success with me. They have given me so much that I don’t even find myself capable enough to say that I will return your love. So, for sure they are the ones that I love the most.

Are clothes and clothing fashion important for you?

Well, too an extent they are important, I like to wear clothes that suit my personality, however I don’t always go after the latest fashion or trend. For me, clothes are a way of representing myself, and I tend to choose likely.

Given below are questions that can be asked in the section 3 of the IELTS speaking. The questions are related to the future prospects of the studies you are going to take.

Do you think there will be any major changes in your field of study over the next few years?

Yes, the subject Computer Science by its nature is very changing. New technologies come in day and out and one never knows which one is likely to stay. With advent of new software, hardware and new algorithms popping in every minute, chances are very high that there will be changes.

For instance, the data security, search mechanism, encryptions are very core subjects of Computer Science and they are changing very fast. It is not unlikely that new computing concept would emerge and that would be included in my field of study.

How do you think an overseas degree will improve your professional skills?

The reason I am planning for an overseas degree is the fantastic teachers and the syllabus the overseas university provide. Even more, syllabus is updated as compared to our country. The foreign universities, especially universities of first world countries, are renowned for their professionalism, study environment and facilities to learn better skills. I am sure I would be able to take advantages of these facilities and would be able to learn more.

Given below are questions that are generally asked in the follow up questions,  i.e. is the section 3 of the speaking test related to study abroad.

How do you think that studying abroad is different from studying in one’s own country?

I think both emotional and logical factors come into picture while differentiating the two. Firstly, in abroad one rarely has any relatives or immediate family and they are on their own. This makes students more responsible as well as independent. They learn how to take decisions and more importantly face problems. Secondly, the curriculum of developed countries is more often updated as compared less developed or developing countries. This helps students to benefit better. Finally, while studying overseas universities students can learn about different custom, culture and tradition.

What problems do you think students can face while studying abroad and why?

I think problems happen when things are not planned enough well. So, for instance, some people cannot bare too much of cold but without knowing the weather conditions of a country they go for studying there during winters. This causes issues for them. Even more, not planning for the course well before hand is another factor troubling people. Example, people take up any course in a university without knowing much details about it, but when studying it, they realize the nity gritty of it and tend to land themselves in trouble. However, other problems being faced are home sickness, I think, language barriers is the other issue, for some even food.

But I think one is determined the issues seem small.

Do you think you will have many difficulties adapting to new culture?

I guess it would not be much difficult for me to adapt to a new culture as I am already exposed to diverse customs and cultures in my home country. Having said that, adapting to a new culture is always a little bit difficult, especially if it is very different from your home town culture but I have read about the traditions of the country. And I hope that nothing would be shocking for me.
