Money

When you go shopping, do you prefer to pay for things in cash or Card? Why?

Shopping is essential part of life, we do shopping for many purposes. Almost every day I go to buy something. Making payments depend upon the products and situations, usually I pay in cash, something I use cards as well. I mostly use cards to make online payments or when I get the petrol or diesel in my vehicles. 

Do you ever save money to buy things? Why? Why not?

Saving money is one of the most important skills It becomes the priority when it is conducted to buy something. I had a dream to buy a laptop but I did not have enough money. I started doing a part time job and saving from my pocket money. After 3 or 4 months I was able to buy the gadget I dreamt. Getting hard on oneself could be irritating and de-motivating it is better to save least amount so you can live easily and happily I would say that saving is one of the most important skills to develop.

Would you ever take a job which had low pay? Why? Why not?

It is very tricky question. If I talk about myself I am not in the situation to do low salary job. Because I have to shoulder some responsibilities. To do my responsibilities I need to be financially strong so I can feel confident and secure. After achieving my financial goals I may think to do low earning job if it is meaningful and bringing any change in the community. There are people who are working for the social cause. Their remuneration is not so high but satisfied doing it

Would winning a lot of money make a big difference to your life? Why? Why not?

Winning a lot of money certainly brings changes in life it may be positive and negative.  I have seen that people lose their senses after getting a substantial amount of money , even they put their morality on the stake. There are people who invest the money and try to double. They plan and go something which can be financially good for them .

Part 2

Describe an interesting discussion you had as part of your work or studies You should say: What the subject of the discussion was Who you discussed the subject with What opinions were expressed And explain why you found the discussion interesting

I am a talkative person and I often start any topic to exchange the ideas and information. I believe that we can learn and improve ourselves by discussing with others.  We learn more while talking because we are full involved into it.

Couple of week before, we had a very health discussion on digital marketing and its benefits for the business with our business partners and associates. Mr. Rajbir is a digital market expert and he trains people to make the best use of it so they earn more.

We did not have much awareness of the uses and advantages of digital marketing we took it very lightly . when the expert showed us the results of last two decades we were shocked. We shared our confusions about digital world and its functions.

We had very limited views about social media networks and digital marketing we believed that it is just to entertain and hook people. But his illustrations and explanations opened up our minds.

My business partners also shared their opinions and asked us Mr. Rajbir to train one of us to use the digital market for our business. We all were fully involved and interested in the conversation and later it became very health talk.

We found it insightful and knowledgeable. The interesting part of the discussion was it was very informative and eye opening to us. My all business partners were full immersed.

Part 3

Discussing problems with others

Example questions

Why is it good to discuss the problems with others?

Discussing the problem is considered leading to the solution. It is very necessary to talk about the problems with family and friends. If we don’t discuss our problems it may be very dangerous, there are many young boys and girls don’t feel comfortable to talk about the issues and confusions they are dealing with. It may sometime lead them to commit suicide. Doctors suggest that we must share our problems with the person we feel at ease. Sharing it with that person can release the tension and depression.

Do you think it is better to talk to friends not with family about problems?

Friends and family both are integral part of our live. I believe that we must share our confusions and issues with friends and family members. It is also true that a majority of people don’t feel as ease talking about the problems with their family members they prefer to discuss with friends. If I talk about myself I mostly share my problems with my friends . the nature of the problem is also the deciding factor. There are some issues and confusions we share with friends some with family members. But talking about your problems with the one you trust is very important.

Is it always a good idea to tell lots of people about a problem?

Sharing your problems with numbers of people, I think, is not good. There are people who listen and mock at you. You become laughing stock. It is better we discuss our problems with the people we trust. When we share the problems with more people the solutions are in numbers and may be more confusing. I have seen people talk about their problems publically just to gain the sympathy. It is not a good think that we should do.

Communication Skills at work

Example Questions

Which communication skills are most important when taking part in meetings with colleagues?

Communication skills are very crucial to succeed personally and professionally. It is one of the top five skills in the world today. People join special training programs to enhance their communication skills. Corporate houses ask their employees to hone their communication skills. Verbal and written communication skills are very important while taking part in a meeting. One must be able to talk and make other understand his talk. Writing should be neat and clean so it could be read.  Purpose of the meeting should be well communicated.

What are the possible effects of poor written communication skills at work?

People are more interested improving their communication skill these days. Because, poor communication skills may lead to misunderstanding. And the misunderstanding may cost dear. If we are unable to present ourselves in better way we may lose our important relationship and create confusions.

What do you think will be the future impact of technology on communication skills at the workplace?

Technology is bringing revolutionary changes at workplace. I believe that the technology is going to help people communicate effectively in the future. People are going to communicate easily.  People will be able to reach maximum people with minimum efforts. Technology is never stagnant. The future communication technology unpredictable but it would benefit people around the world.
