Something that you made by hand to give to your friend.

You should say:

• What did you make?
• How did you make it?
• Why did you give it to your friend?
• How did you feel about it?

Sample Answer

Art and craft are highly engaging and entertaining activities, and many people work on different arts and crafts during their leisure time. I also like doing art and craftwork such as pottery, origami, and painting. I am more involved with craft work, especially with toys and trinkets, and I have made a lot of small toys for toddlers.

I have a young friend in my neighborhood who plays cricket with me. While we were speaking one day, he told me about his fondness for cars. He also told me that almost all of his toys were cars, and he played a lot with them as well. At that moment, an idea struck me. I came back to my home and quickly took out a small battery operated motor that was lying around unused. My idea was to use that motor to make a homemade toy car and gift it to him. I went around the house in search of materials such as cardboard, nuts, bolts, bottle caps, wires, and batteries. After collecting all the items, I assembled the car and worked on it until I was satisfied with the result.

It took me two days to complete the toy car, fortunately in time for his birthday on the weekend. Thinking that it would be a sensible gift, I had painted it and gift wrapped it as well. On his birthday, I gave him the car as a gift, and he liked it a lot. He said that the gift meant a lot to him. Due to this, I felt elated and proud of my skill and my idea.

Talk about a special date in your country history

You should say:

• Which date is it?
• Why is it special?
• What do you do on this date?
• What impact has it had on your country?

Sample Answer

My country has been through a lot of tough and great times and our calendars are marked with many important dates that correspond to many important events that India has witnessed. Possibly the most important date is 15 August 1947 and signifies a very important feeling of patriotism for each and every Indian. It was on this day that India got independence from the then 200-year-old British rule after innumerable sacrifices.

Furthermore, it was not a result any one person in particular. Thousands of important and influential people from villages, towns, and cities all over India had come together holding hands and raising their voice in unison against the oppressive British rule during the time. It was their efforts and the encouraging support of the common public that had led India to achieve its freedom.

My grandparents have told me various stories from the time and I have always been awestruck while listening to them and getting to know of the struggles and hardships of the people back then.

This day is celebrated by each Indian and inspires us to make our country proud and help it stand out on the world map. Indians embrace this day not only to celebrate the country’s freedom but also to pay homage and tribute to the sacrifices of all the freedom fighters who gave up their lives for the country’s sake. This day teaches us to envision a better India with each passing day of our lives and motivates every Indian to work towards it as a common goal.

Describe an interesting place in your country that is not visited by many tourists.

You should say:

• Where is this place?
• What do you like about it?
• How do you go there?

Sample Answer

India is a multicultural country with diverse geographical attractions. It is not possible for the visitors to visit all the tourist destinations here in a limited amount of time. This leads to a few places being visited less often as compared to others. Uttarakhand is home to a few such sites that are difficult to reach as they are nestled deep into the Himalayan mountain ranges.

One such place is Deoria Taal, a lake situated on a hilltop near a village called Saari. Located at a distance of 250 kilometers from the state capital Dehradun, it is a quaint lakeside place that has become a tourist spot due to its beautiful surroundings and breathtaking views. One can clearly see two of the tallest peaks in the Himalayan range from the view point near the lake. The diversity of the flowers and the trees, coupled with the serenity of the water body provide a soothing and calm environment to the visitors, making it an ideal spot for a weekend visit.

It can be reached after a hectic and tiring three-kilometer trek to the top of the hill, rendering it inaccessible for many visitors. The nearby area is surrounded by dense forests on high peaks and is scarcely uninhabited. There is a lot of wildlife that comes to the lake to drink water, making it difficult to reach the shores. The lake is a freshwater lake with a grassy area next to it making it perfect for camping in the lap of nature. It is easier to access in summers than winters, and a few select tourists come to camp here during their vacations.

Talk about a time when you received poor service:

You should say:

• When was it?
• Where did this happen?
• What did you do about it?

Sample Answer

We often go to various places to avail different kinds of services for many purposes. I have been to many places with varying standards of services such as car garages, hotels, and offices. One such incident where I received poor quality of service was when I went to an upscale restaurant near my locality.

I went there with my team consisting of ten colleagues on the previous Saturday afternoon. We were there for a team lunch after a successful meeting. We were greeted, welcomed through the grand entrance and seated. The place was full and quite busy. It took almost fifteen minutes for the server to bring water to our table and present the menu. I felt bad but did not make any issue about it. All of us chose our preferences and gave our orders for the food. After discussing work issues for more than half an hour we realized that the servers did not bring our orders. I was annoyed and went to complain about the poor service to the manager.

He apologized profusely and went ahead to expedite our order. We finally received our food and had started eating it when two of my colleagues found strands of here in their soup and pieces of bread. This was the last straw and we all got up and left the place without complaining. I later sent a mail to the administration and received an invite to a meal for all of us again along write a sincere apology and promiser of the best service.
