Cambridge IELTS Book Speaking Test -1
Where do
you usually watch TV programs /shows? Why?
I am not
glued to TV most of the time. But there is couple of TV programs that I often
watch at my home. There programs are based on family and friends so I watch at
my home. There is an educational show that I sometime watch with my friends in
college library.
What is
your favorite TV program/show? Why?
The Subhash
Chandra Show is my favorite. The show is hosted by renowned businessman of my
country, who owns many media houses and companies. Mr Subhash Chandra takes
random questions of people associated to business and guides them to solve
particular problem. The show has been a life changing experience for young
business men and women.
Are there
any programs/shows you don’t like watching? Why?
Yes there
are many programs that I think , should not be broadcast on television. There
is a program named Nagin ka Intekam. This program promotes superstition and
innocent viewers are carried away with the story and they even believe such
things have happened in the past. It also portrays women as devil. That really
irritates me and I don’t watch programs.
Do you
think you will watch more TV or fewer TV programs in the future? Why? Why not?
I think, I
will be watching fewer TV programs because I have many projects to work on. One
more reason is mobile phone, people are shifting from TV to mobile phones . in
coming years TV programs won’t attract many people. Mobile phone and internet provides premium
content and entertainment without time restriction so I believe I will watch TV
programs less than I do today.
Describe someone you know who has started a business
You should say:
Who he/she is
What work he /she does
Why he /she decided to start a business
And explain whether you like to do the same kind of work as this person.
I
have many friends who have started business and minting good amount of money. Here
I would talk about Mr Balinder who is chef and he put his passion to work and now
running a successful restaurant in my town.
Balinder is passionate about cooking and loves to serve people with
different food items. He learnt cooks by working with well known cooks and
chefs.
Before
staring the restaurant he would work temporarily in marriages and parities. His
foods and skills won the heart of people and inspired him to start his own
catering group. But he started a restaurant and got the help of his group also.
Today he works with many hotels and restaurant to supply the food on demands. People
of my town visit his restaurant every weekend to taste the dishes he offers.
I
am inspired the way he used his skill to be successful. I often discuss with
him about his work ethics and success he suggests me to follow my interests and
work on them. I am now determined to start English Coaching Centre in my town because
I love talking and teaching. I feel at my best when I am to guide anybody. I have
some friends who suggested me to put my skills to help people. there are
numbers of people in my contact that I can
use to start this business with a bang.

Choosing
work
In your
country, what kinds of jobs do young people not want in your country?
There are
many jobs becoming obsolete in my country such as low wage jobs and the jobs
require manual work. Young people want to work in secure and healthy
environment. Manual scavenging has been
disinteresting young people. They want this to be done with the help of
machines so they don’t have to touch it. People avoid the work which demands longer
hours and pressurize them to finish the work as per deadline.
Who is
best at advising young people about choosing a job: teachers or parents?
I must say
that parents are the first teacher of child and they know their sons and
daughters better while teachers are experts and experienced in advising young
people. Mentors have better
understanding of academic performance of students and make it easy for them to
tell young students what could be a better career for them while parents know
other areas of their offsprings. in my opinion both parents and teachers are
better guide for young people.
Is money
always the most important thing when choosing a job?
Money is crucial
when we choose a job. The skills and
education we gain it’s all about money and impact that we want to make around
as. People are more inclined to high paying jobs though it is difficult and risky.
I have seen people doing jobs that put their lives on stake just to make extra
money. I must say that money is highly considered point when one has to decide
about his career. There are some others factors also, like job satisfaction,
work culture and impact also. We often
see people compromising for money. It may sound unpleasant but it’s true .
Do you
agree that many people nowadays are under pressure to work longer hours and
take fewer holidays?
Yes , I do
agree with the statement . People are working longer hours and compromising their
holidays and leisure time. There are people who work 14-16 everyday without
taking any holidays. There are many reasons rising inflations unemployment and work
deadline. If one has to secure his job, he is expected to complete the work as
per deadline. He cannot afford to lose his job because unemployment is at peak.
To make both ends meet he has to work
longer hours so his job can be secured and feel safe. Such factors may lead to
work under pressure.
What is
the impact on society of people having a poor work life balance?
Truly
speaking if one struggles to maintain balance with job and his life he becomes
cynical and venerable to some disease. We often see some workers are irritating
and they don’t behave the way they should, it’s all because they don’t have any
balance in their working life. They put maximum amount of their time working
take fewer holidays. The society also experiences people have poor healthy and
connection with others around them.

Could you
recommend some effective strategies for governments and employers to ensure
people have a good work life balance?
There are
many actions that can be taken by governments and employers to improve the working
lives of employees. Workers should be allowed to work from home so they can
spend their time with families and feel better. One day they must be mandatorily
given rest and provide them the chance to hang out with their kith and
kin. The workers who work for longer
hours must be given better medical facilities by government and employers. They
should be given good time to relax when they are at work. They employers who don’t
provide medical facilities and break from work must face actions from the governments.
