IELTS Speaking Interview 10
March 2018
We have asked a student about his speaking
interview help on 10 March. We have recorded the questions asked to him. In this
post we are going to cover the full test with model answer that may help you
with your preparation.
Part-1
Are you student or working professional?
I am a student, pursuing a bachelor degree
in mass communication, I work as a translator on weekends to gain experience
and enhance my communication skills. This part time activity allows me to pay
my bills and other academic expenses.
Do you meet people of different age group
at your workplace?
Yes, On weekends I meet with different
people from various age categories. The field of study and job offer me to
mingle with people from various social and economic backgrounds as well. I
interact with senior citizens, middle aged people and guys of my age group. It
is really fascinating to talk and work with them.
When are the most productive throughout
your day?
I am an early bird, I feel at my best from
5 am to 11 pm. I get full of beans and invest my energy to my study and work.
When I wake up early in the morning I am full of energy, my heart is light and
passionate about devoting myself to the works assigned to me.
What are some of the popular applications
among the youth of your country?
There is hardly anything what cannot be
done with the help of applications. There are many applications deployed for
various purposes. Applications like, PayTM to pay every kinds of bills, BJYUS
to learn various things expected to appear in competitive examinations, Hotstar
to watch live streaming of cricket and other sports, Whatsapp to send and
receive messages, make audio and video calls and many more apps are frequently
used every day.
Why are they so popular?
Applications I have mentioned play a major
role in saving time, money and energy, before the advent of such applications
we had to go to stores and electricity board to pay bills and make
transactions. Development of application and easy to use features allow anyone
to do the necessary things, we don’t need to go to make things happen
physically, we can get it done with the help of any applications.
What features do you feel should be
present but is still missing in these applications?
I feel that some applications are not that
easy to use, there must be a language selection in every application that is
deployed to perform different kind of tasks. Security features are compromised I
would want that there must be updated version of applications used to pay bills
and receive the money. It often comes to hear that the hackers easily exploit
the security and still the money and disturb the setting.
If you were to make an application what
would you build?
If I had to build an application it would
be an educational app. This would cater to the syllabus related needs of
students from different streams. As a student I have to look for many books and
notes to study for examinations, if there is any application which help you
prepare better and find every subject and topic in a single click I think that
would be good. I would name it” Eduapp”. I would like to keep it updated and
user-friendly. So it can be utilized by all students.
Part-2
Speak about a motivational story someone
told you.
What the story was
What it was about.
How you us the moral of story
And explain how you found the story.
|
Model Answer:-
Storytelling is as old as human
civilization. Almost every human being under the sun has heard a story through
different modes of communication. My maternal grandmother would tell us lot of
stories of the kings, queens, saints and dacoits to entertain us as well as
build our life on values and morals. Couple of years before one of my friend’s
father told me a story that really inspired me. I was hanging around in the
part and coincidentally I met with his there. We took seats in a quiet place and
start the conversation. We were talking generally but it went very deep. My friend’s
father told me story of Adam and Goliath. He introduced me to the story through
some examples like when something bigger than us appears in our life how should
we react?
In the story a young boy Adam is a shapered
rears the sheep and goats of his father. He has 6 more brothers working in the
army of the kind of this country, he happened to be younger than among his
brothers. There starts a war between Israelites and philistines, Soul the king
of isreal and Adams brothers are in the battlefield to fight philistines. In
the army of philistines there is 9 feet tall, well equipped, trained and
ruthless warrior named Goliath to fight any of the Israelites with him. He shouts
forty days and nights to fight, he even says that if he is defeated his whole
nation would be the servants of isreal ,if any of the Israelites is defeated
they have to serve philistines throughout the life. Everyone in the army of Soul is terrified and
trembling to see the size of the giant warrior. Suddenly Adam comes to the
battlefield to ask the well-being of his brothers and the kings. When he
inquires the whole scene over there.
He says that the giant can be defeated
there. After talking the permission of the king and fights Goliath and hits him
a stone on the head. And Goliath falls on the face he is behead with a sword by
Adam. This story teaches me that we should not be out of mind and terrified to
see the size of any problem. We can overcome it. I found this story full of motivation that I would
do my best on the face of worst circumstances. I can overcome any difficult situation
confidently if I am not trembling and terrified.
Moral of the story fight, don’t give up
unless the fight is over.
Part-3
Why do people get inspired to listening to
stories?
Stories are full of examples and inspiration
which we can apply in our life. People love learning through stories. Because it
is easy to understand and execute in our lives. Almost every story directly
speaks to your head, heart and soul. When you have all these 3 parts of
yourself together you become inspired to take any actions. People find that in
stories there have been people who achieved this and they can do that as well.
What way of storytelling is better
verbally of with pictures? Why?
I think content and delivery of story is
more important. I do agree that pictures are very useful to convey the heart of
story in easy and effective manners. In my childhood I heard story from my grandmother
and teachers. In school there were many stories told with the help of pictures.
The pictures are out of mind but the moral is in my heart. For children,
pictures are easy to grasp. I think both ways of storytelling play a vital role
to convey the message.
Tell me the role of technology in
storytelling?
I am of the opinion that there is a story
behind everything. Weather it is good or bad. Technology has enabled us to
access the different aspects of story. You can tell your story to the world in
easy and effective manners, you can use electronic board and other equipments
to reach larger crowd. Earlier people would tell and heart story for
entertainment and instill the values among the growing generation. But technology
availed us the benefits of generating revenue as well. If you deploy
technology, your story can influence people around the world.
Do people often remember the values and
lesson imparted by stories?
Many times I forget what I hear from other
people though it is very important to me. it is very normal that we forget the lessons
and moral told in the story. There are some stories which captivate your mind
and imagination their influence is so deep. We don’t forget what we learn from
such stories. Even we keep sharing stories which we enjoy. And Technology has
played a great part to share the story and keep in mind for longer time
What are some of the alternative ways to
inspire people?
Action speaks louder than words and
examples are better than preaching. We are more inspired when we see other
doing things. Actions and examples tell the whole story without uttering
anything. Inspiration comes from what we experience not what we only hear. We may
forget a story that we have heard but we cannot forget what we have experiences
or seen people doing it. There was a guy
who started planting trees in my town to foster the greenery he was alone
within in a month many more people joined him. Now it is like a movement to
plant trees and water them regularly. Such things are effective alternatives to
encourage folks around us.
We hope that the post is useful to you.
