IELTS SPEAKING TOPIC-BASED SAMPLE NO. PART 3. 005

1. How do you think managers should behave with their employees?
2. I do believe that Managers should behave and interact with their staffs professionally and in a friendly manner. Relationship between superiors and their teams should not only be in the work function in my opinion, but should also be in the social life as well. Good relation between Managers and their teams outside of the work will create a solid team work environment, and eventually it will impact on the productivity of the company. If a manger only boss around his team members, eventually the staffs would start disliking him or her. This would not be a good example to set in a work environment. From my experience I can say that a manager should be a leader who would be ready to take any challenge and would help his/her subordinates.
3. Does people’s behavior change in a group with elderly people?
4. Yes, I think it is common that people’s behavior will change in accordance with the group they are gathered with. When a young person gather in a group of mature people, he will adjust to the topic of the conversation, which might be about business, raising family or politic, because if he talks about K Pop, cloud computing or MTV, some of the elder people might not understand it.
5. Please give an example of such behavior change.
6. For example, when we go to the retirement house and visit elder people there, we would adjust our behavior. As most of the senior people love talking about their children or grandchildren, then we have to talk with them about family matters. And then we have to slowdown the pace of our conversation, because some of them might have problem with their hearing capability. They should be given priority in the conversation and we should let them talk on their favourite topics. When should also help them in every way possible and should not bring up issues that might bore or distress them.
7. Does people’s behavior change around someone famous?
8. I think people’s behavior will change when they meet some famous person. They will try to make an interesting conversation with the famous person talking about his business or his capability or how much s/he adores him/her; therefore he/she will enjoy the discussion. For example, if I have the chance to meet Donald Trump, I would like to talk to him about Property, and get his opinion about property business, though I do not like the business itself, but since this is a rare opportunity, I would adjust myself to talk about his business.
9. What factors or people can affect someone’s personality?
10. There are many things that could affect someone’s personality. Firstly, it is about friends. When we gather or hang out with good and positive friends, we could become a nice person, but when we play with drug dealers and crime people, then we could become one of them. And then economic conditions could affect our personality as well. When people grow up in poverty condition, they usually become a tough and temperament persons, because they have compete with other people in order to survive

 Discussion

1. Is it better to have a postcard or a photograph of the place you have visited?
2. In my opinion, it is always better to have a photograph of the place as the memory of clicking a photograph gets etched in the minds whereas a postcard only refreshes the memory of the place so visited.
3. Is it good to take pictures of historic buildings?
4. Yes, but only if the photograph of the individual is also clicked alongside or in the fore front of the historic building. But not all historic building or national heritage authority allows public to take photos. But there is no restriction on taking photo; I would say this is always good as a pleasant memory to recite later on.
5. Is it necessary to show photographs of places when advertising?
6. Yes it is necessary to show photographs of the places when advertising as advertising leaves a great impact on the mind of the person who views it. And a photograph when shown with the advertisement leaves an impression on the mind of the person who sees it. Moreover, it only helps in making the person remember a place, due to such photographs, while watching the advertisement.
7. Is having a collection of photo albums helpful in any way?
8. Of course yes, an album takes you down the memory lane in no time. One feels like being at the same place as soon as the photograph album is opened or is browsed through.

IELTS SPEAKING TOPIC-BASED SAMPLE NO. PART 3. 009

1. Discussion
2. How do you think some business companies become successful?From my point of view, one important factor is having studious and continuous working. Although they might face numerous challenges and have many rivals, they do not lose their hope, surpassing their rivals. Having talented people and visionary managers and administrative personnel are important as well.

1. What companies are successful in your hometown? Are they small or big?Mostly food ones are more prosperous than the other ones and many of them are huge corporations with multitude branches. Other types of companies that are successful fall under the IT business and Oil Company.
2. Why are some companies more successful than others?These companies are mostly supported by the government, and even many officials are their major shareholders. As I said before, they have more tolerance to resist against difficult situations. They can find better solutions for their problems than the other ones. Successful companies are backed by talented people, prudent administration, huge money and a bit of luck.
3. Is it easier to work as an employee or to manage a company? Why?I think working as a simple staff is far simpler. They do not have any concern about bankruptcy or loosing of market share and money. A simple employee only follows the rules and works, although he or she has less income than a business person. In terms of easy life style doing job in a reputed and high paying organization is far better in my opinion. Running a successful business requires hard work, huge capital and vision. Not all people have these qualities

Follow-up questions & Discussion

Follow-up questions
Q.  Is it easy to work in that job?
A.  A definite ‘NO’; this job has never been easy nor will be as there are no definite protocols to help you all the time during your job.  It is basically your conscience and presence of mind, your gut feelings, daring attitude that are gonna help you come out of it. Not many people would dare to get engaged in such jobs. It requires utmost passion and mentality to embrace the unknown and challenges.  All you can expect from this job is the unexpected!!

1. Are many people working nowadays in that field?Not much, but yes one could easily find many amateur explorers, in YouTube and all. I never heard of any schools or institution for studying such skills or people given training for an explorer job. Many are into this as part timers or they see it as a leisure or hobby but as a mainstream profession on exploring, no seldom would you find it, at least in my country.
   
   Discussion
   
   What is the most common way to get a job now?You must have a university degree with good result and also relevant job experience to apply for a nice job in my country. It is very common among young generations to apply online through the job portals where employers have submitted their recruitment details. For government job one has to apply for an exam and after passing it s/he can get enrolled in such government job. There is a huge competition in this exam though.

For the competent job seekers, common way to get a job would be to go online searching it, and then apply for it. If you are selected in the interview, the job is yours. Sometimes the influence and reputed contact person might become helpful while nowadays social media like LinkedIn and Facebook has also become platforms for new job seekers.

1. What do you do to find a job in your country?It depends on the place you stay and the type of organizations you are applying to. In village areas newspaper advertisements, local government employment exchanges and bulleting are the way of knowing about a job circular and people there rely on these media to apply for aIn urban areas as mentioned before it’s basically newspaper, internet, social media etc. are the way to knowing about and applying for jobs. The interview of any job is the main criteria for ensuring a job. Most of the private companies decide the deserving candidates for the jobs during the interview. If you can ensure a nice impression during the interview, you are assured to get a job if other criteria are fulfilled.
2. Is it easy to find a job in your country? Why?India being one of the thickly populated countries does not offer a very flexibility to get aIt’s definitely not easy to find a job unless you have really impressive academic and job qualification. Or may be some times enough contacts! Yes finding a job is not that easy in India as the competition is pretty high. It is not unlikely that for a single job opening more than thousand of candidates compete! This is the reality of our job sector.
3. How do schools support students to help them select the job they like?Some schools provide vocational training in the subject of interest to students, nevertheless other schools they just train students with the formal education. So on an average, most of the schools in my country prepare students academically, and jobs are not the main concern of their studies. But yes, there are few schools, specially modern school who pay much attention on future job aspects of the students by ensuring necessary amendment on the syllabus, providing necessary training and welcoming prospective employers to visit them often.
4. What are the improvements that schools must have to identify talents of students?I would recommend that schools should take more surprise tests outside the academic lessons to find out who are doing better. The school authority should also have a rich lab, play ground, library with numerous books and other facilities to let the students choose in which activities they are good at. The teaching method should be more innovative and the students should be allowed to present their opinions on how teachers should teach better.

Apart from that, the schools authority must allocate a big budget to foster the talents the students might have. For instance, the school should find out which students have certain talents in singing, painting etc. Then they should be provided with special classes and training to bring out the best among those students.

Finally a creative and talented teacher can help a lot the identify talents of students. So the school should encourage more creative and innovative teachers to join their team.

IELTS SPEAKING TOPIC-BASED SAMPLE NO. PART 3. 011

1. Discussion
2. Do you think children should be taught to save money from their childhood? Why?Yes, I think children should be taught to save money when they are young. I believe there are two reasons: firstly, children can learn to respect their parents’ hard work from saving money. When they understand the value of money, and the expenditures in the house hold, they could appreciate more about the life that their parents have provided for them. Secondly, saving money is a great way to learn how to be independent, frugal and responsible. Children who learn to save money from their early ages often become more stable in their personal money management and possess positive attitude about investing money rather than spending it all.

1. Should parents buy everything their child asks for? Why?Absolutely not! Firstly, if children have always had what they want, they would take everything for granted. It will affect their life when they grow up because as adults, we can’t just ask for anything that we want. Secondly, just like I have said in the previous question, children have to learn their independence by saving up for something they want rather than being provided everything they want.
    
2. Is it easy for you to save money?No, I don’t think it could possibly be easy for anyone to save money, especially in these days when the living cost is very significant. Personally, I am studying full time and working part time, so at this stage, I could not save up any money at all, but I have plans to save money when I work full time. Because I am a very well organised person, and also not interested in luxury stuff, so it would not be too hard for me to save money.
3. Do people in countryside have different shopping attitude than people in a city? Why?Well, I am not sure about Australia, but in China, yes, it would be quite different in terms of what they shop, why they shop and how they shop. Residents in the countryside are generally poorer than the people who live in the city, so they have less consuming power. They would shop less frequently and the majority purchases will be necessities. Also, because the Internet and delivery limitations in the countryside, people tend to go to shops rather than shopping online like many people in the city do.

Discussion

1. Do you think it is important to do something with another person?Well, it depends on what are you doing. For example, if you are doing an individual assignment, it is necessary to do it on your one. If you have to do some group work, of course, it is essential to do it with another person.
   
   Generally, I believe that cooperation is a great skill, that requires to do some activities with different people which teach us how successfully work in a team. In today’s highly competitive environment, it is essential to do something with another person, cooperate and work or even play in a team. At the end of the day it will increase the value of both.
2. Is it important for children to have subjects in school that include working with another person?Yes, obviously, it is necessary. We are living in the world, which includes many people. Do we want or we don’t but we have to be able to work with different people. It is a requirement at schools, at universities and at work and actually everywhere.
   
   At school children start to learn their general skills, which they will apply in the future and one of the most important skills is cooperation and work in a team.
3. What subjects would those be?It could be literature, foreign language where children can talk to each other and have a dialog. Also, it could be physical activity subjects as well. Group assignment could be given almost in all subjects including literature, History, Physics, Chemistry, Arts ect.
4. How could businesses work together with schools or universities?Businesses, schools or universities can cooperate together and help each other. For example, at school teachers can observe the achievement of different students and can recommend to the businesses if they are looking for an employee. Universities and businesses can be helpful to each other in the same way. Most students are looking for a job, while many companies are looking for right employees. They can cooperate and help each other through, for example, organizing job opportunity events.
5. How could wealthy countries help poor countries?I think there are different ways to help. One of them is to organize special organization that will help to some poor country. The employees and volunteers of this organization will assist local people by donating clothes, organizing free lunches, dinners for people who need help. Also, I think, it might be medical support. Wealthy country can send medicine to the poor countries. The wealthy countries can provide basic needs like education, treatment and shelter for the people of poor countries. They can take many infrastructure improvement related projects. They can provide research facilities and can open trade facilities to help the poor countries as well.

Discussion

[ The examiner is now going to ask several discussion questions about  the topic given in Cue Card. ]

1. Would you recommend that book to anyone? Why?Yes, definitely. This is in my opinion is one of the best book I have ever read and it was highly appreciated by the critiques and it has a very good rating. It has a deep moral and lesson and yet past paces. So I would recommend this book as a must
2. What types of books are popular among children and adults in your country?Children mostly read academic books. Apart from that they read fairy tales, detective books and adventurous stories mostly. On the other hand the reading lists among adults vary a great deal ranging from romantic, political, historical, adventurous, horror etc.
3. What are the impacts of modern life on reading?I think modern life hasn't influenced to the contrary of reading habits. It provided some other potential sources for reading. It is easy to purchase books, get review and track the reading using latest technology and book lovers are still present in our society as they were in the past generations. Some would say that we don’t have time to read books as we lead a busy life. But I won’t agree with that as I still see many people read books when they are waiting in the line, waiting for someone in a café. So interested readers always find times no matter how much busy they are.
4. Between books or movies which one in better and why? I like both books and movies. They are not alternative to each other. Rather they both have their own appealing. In terms of serious learning and knowledge books are better. In terms of visual presentation and entertainment and easy learning movies are far better. While a book enhances the imagination and creativity of a reader, movies present events and stories more vividly. In my opinion, both are equally important and I personally like both of them.
5. What are the problems faced by illiterate people in the society? 
   It is a big problem not to be able to read and write nowadays. In most of the cases they are not socially respected. Without education they can't enjoy the world known to the literate people. They need to rely on others for such matters including reading a letter written by a family member. They might be deceived easily as they never know what’s been written. They can’t write to their dearest person and can’t read the extraordinary stories others can read and enjoy.

4. What type of person (parents, teachers, friends etc) are best to influence young people’s behavior?
5. What do you think young people will be most influenced by it the future?

1. Who are the most influential people in your society?Famous scientists, writers, politicians, business people, actors are mainly the most influential people in our society. Apart from that, newspaper editors, teachers and army people also have influences over people to someOne of the most influential people in my country would be the current president of Indonesia Joko Widodo. He is very popular among the people here, because of his humble and simple lifestyle. Besides that, everyone knew that he is free from corruption and nepotism. He had been given an award from the international Time Magazine as one of the inspirational people in Indonesia.
2. Are there many heroes or role models today?Yes, there are many public figures that people could select as their role models these days. They could be athletes, actors, scientists or politicians. But I do believe that people should be selective when they choose their heroes. Some famous persons have negative personality and we should not follow them. For example, a famous singer is a role model and hero for thousand of teenagers. But behind his great performance, if he has problems with drugs and alcohol, he should not be followed by theThese kinds of things could ruin many teenagers life if they follow his lifestyle. 
3. What are the qualities of a good leader?I think it is really important for a good leader to have integrity in his life. As he leads an institution or a company, he should lead by example. For instance, when a boss wants all of his employees to come to work on time, he should not come late. And then a good leader would not only give orders to his team. He should be open minded and listen to the ideas of his teams. With this kind of attitudes, many people would respect and admire him.

Details Discussion: 

Q. What kind of person makes a good teacher?
A. First of all the person who has passion on teaching would naturally become a good teacher. It is true for any other profession as well. Then deep subject knowledge, patience, rhetoric power, ability to convince and argue, fine interaction quality and good behaviours are some key points to become a good teacher. A good teacher inspires pupils and set examples for them. Finally, a person with compassion, ability to understand others’ psychology often excels as a good teacher. 

1. Why people choose to become teachers?For some people it is their dream and passion to become a teacher. For others it is just a job and they are teachers because they have not got any other better professions. For others teaching is a noble profession and they never leave this profession even though they can switch their jobs. In many societies teaching profession gives honour and respects and that is why many people chose to become teachers.
2. Do you think education will change in the future? How?Though the core value and norm of education will always remain the same – to enlighten people, the form and system of education change over time. In the future technology would be greatly used to teach, learn and assess students in educational institutes and distance learning would be very popular among students. More subjects would be introduced and more technical and technological subjects would emerge. Practical experience in studies would be given more priority in the near future.

The traditional classroom based education would be replaced in some places with the computer and internet based education system and more students would pursue their educations from foreign universities and colleges than they do now. 

1. How does technology affect education?Technology has already been adopted in many educational institutes as it makes the process of learning and teaching easier and more convenient. Technology will replace some traditional ways of teaching and would make online classes and online assessment more popular. Students can access to a vast amount of information related to their subjects through internet and can read e-books.

The time required to take examination and classes has greatly reduced and teachers now connect to their students via internet. Online courses, online teaching, online registration and certification have changed the way people used to study in the past.

In my opinion technology offers a huge flexibility and advancement in education and we have already started accepting these benefits.

1. Q.What type of qualities you prefer to make friends?The two most important qualities that I always prefer are positive mentality and honesty among friends. If someone has these two qualities, I will become his/her friend easily. Apart from that, I look the way s/he makes a conversation, criticize others and behave with others. Finally I would also look for common interest as I believe having common interests and similar views make friendship stronger.
2. Q.Do you have many friends? How much time do you spend with friends?I used to have quite a large number of friends during my college years. Nowadays I have comparatively less friends, but they are very close to me. I have around 3-4 close friends and many other good friends whom I really like to discuss, talk and spend time with.

As I have got busy these days, I spend around 5-6 hours with my friends weekly. Sometimes this time varies from 3 to 10 hours on an average.

1. Compare the people's attitude to media between now and the past 20 years?A. On the one side, now people have become less trustful to new features of media. Using of more developed technology in camera or editing, people can be defrauded far easier than the past. However, some may say that the Internet has caused citizens to be able to check all news in different resources on the web. For example, they can check the latest one on CNN or BBC website in seconds and compare it with what they heard on TV, while in the past the only resource was newspaper or television. I personally agree with the second group because I think we have more choices to assess and examine the authenticity of news.

The traditional newspapers that were famous in last decade were the main source for news. TV and radio were two other media for news and communicating information and for entertainment as well. With the advancement of technology online newspapers, internet and online TV have become more popular nowadays.

1. Should we trust the journalists?A. I believe that we cannot solely rely on their reports. We have to check the authenticity of some news because reporting is a part of business, and employees may exaggerate an event based on their favorite or benefit. In this case, I have heard different news by different journalists about nuclear talks happened between Iran and 6 other countries recently. Furthermore, we should be very careful about some technical issues affecting the accuracy of a report. Some unpredictable problems may affect negatively the quality of a report. We should trust the journalist and their news to a certain extent but if the news has a chance to be influenced by political motive and personal benefit, we must rely on various authoritative sources as well as use our own
2. What do you think what a good journalist should be?A. Honesty, hardworking, and valuing other people’s opinions are the most important characters. A perfect journalist must be able to work diligently without having any rest and be sensitive to the accuracy of his or her report which is being exposed to viewers. An honest journalist must understand that he is doing a responsible and sensitive job and that’s why should not be biased or influenced.

Influence of television

1. How popular is watching television in your country?
2. Tell me about the types of programme that are generally on television in your country.
3. Why do people like watching television?
4. Do you think state or private television is better?
5. What effects can watching television have on children?
   

1. Do you think what children see on TV affects their behavior?Yes, I agree with the notion that children get affected from the TV programmes they watch. Children learn things very fast and TV programmes have a great influence on shaping their behaviour, thinking and attitude. I remember mimicking my favourite cartoon heroes when I was a child and that is, in fact, true for all human beings. Children psychology catches the things they see and listen. And that’s why they are likely to be affected positively as well as negatively from the TV programmes they watch.
2. In your opinion do children watch too much TV?I don’t think that children nowadays watch too much TV. Though they like watching cartoons and other TV programmes a lot, the parents often forbid them to watch TV too much. Due to the pressure of study and with the easy access to computer games, children nowadays do not have the scope and interest to watch TV all the time. But I would agree that there must be many children who watch it more than they should.
3. Do you think there are too many foreign films on TV? Why?I think people nowadays have satellite connection with channels from different countries and that’s why they have plenty of options to watch movies made in foreign countries. The globalization has also contributed to promote the foreign movies and many people prefer to watch Hollywood movies over their local movies. So I would agree that there are too many foreign movies on TV but it’s also true that a viewer always has the chance to watch movies made in his/ her own country.
4. Should the Government control what we watch?I think in this era of democracy and free speech it would be a bad idea for any government to try to control or impose restriction on our TV viewing activity. First of all, the Government would have to face a huge criticism and pressure from citizens. Second, a democratic government should never try to impose this to the citizens as that would make them act like an autocratic government. However, if a particular TV channel broadcasts any program that might be offensive for the country and its tradition, too much violent and uncensored, I would opine that the government can ban this channel. In short I would say the control should be for the people’s benefit and to control any possible conflict but not to take away people’s freedom.

 Discussion:

1. Could you please explain with some examples about the changes of technology which are used by people in our daily life between now and the past 20 years?Nowadays cell phones, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, TV, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave oven etc. are pretty common in our daily life but 20 years ago those were rare. There were very companies that used computer and internet but this has become very common in work places now a days.

One of the most obvious modifications is usage of robots in industries. These intelligent mechanized devices have helped us to be able to manufacture products far simpler than before. For example, for producing a car, now engineers use them to assemble just over 90% of all parts of them, and humans’ role has become less obvious in this industry, while 20 years ago this technology was not so popular.

The Internet is the most common technology that we use every day. By accessing to it, we can communicate to other people through our computer, checking our email, downloading our favorite files or watching online movies; however, in the past they were not invented, and people did not know anything about this method of connection.

1. Whether those equipment you've ever mentioned in your examples is used in your home?Yes, most of them. We have a large 3D TV, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, washing machine, laptop, internet connection and refrigerator at our
2. How about other Iranian families?Most of the upper-middle class and upper class people in Iran have those equipments at their home. Poor people can’t always afford to buy expensive devices like laptop, air conditioners etc. but the usages of those equipments are spreading faster than ever before.

In developed countries, people have access to more modern systems and technology has developed faster there; however, globalization has created our world a better place for all humans, including Iranians. These people have had important roles in development of computer industries, and computer has become part of their daily life.

1.  What development the technology will have in the future?
   Definitely, progress in modernization will continue faster than being expected in many sectors. For instance, in transportation, flight cars might become a popular method of transport, and many families will use a car which can have wings for flying and traffic will be addressed in many cities. I read a similar article about these cars recently. Computers and internet would become the most common tools among people and every company would greatly depend on that. Many new technological devices that we now see in science fiction movies would become common household devices.
2. Do you think it is important?Yes it is. Absolutely, humans will have more convenient lifestyle. On the one side, using of more developed systems and devices will help people to have a more comfortable living condition, but they might pollute our environment more. The development and technology is the root of progress and when our ancestors lived in caves, we are now landing in other planets. Who knows may be we will build a colony in other planets in the future.
3. How often do you access internet?I use it every day to learn English Language. Listening to news, reading articles, downloading study materials or checking my email are the most reasons I use my computer and the Internet in my daily life.
4. Do you have a computer?Yes I do. As I explained in the last section, I have a personal laptop and use it every day for studying and connection to the Internet.

1. Would you like to live in the city you spoke about?Yes, definitely. This is a beautiful city and there are lots of things to do and lots of places to visit there. The people are nice and this city offers nice lifestyle. So yes, I would like to live in this city for sure.
2. What are the advantages of living in a big city?A big city offers better job opportunity, better educational institutions, better shopping malls and business opportunity. The traffic and streets are strictly monitored and there are law enforcing officers to help in case someone needs them.

The living standard is better in a big city and modern technology and facilities are available. In my opinion, a big city is better place to live in.

1. Q. What are the negative aspects of crowded cities?
   A crowded city is often polluted. In terms of sound, air and other pollutions, a crowded city has a worse scenario than cities will less population. Many crowded cities have more crime rates and unbearable traffic congestion. The over population increases the prices of daily commodity and this it is comparatively expensive to live in a city with higher population.
2. Why do you think that the architectural design of a city is important?It makes a city distinctive and attractive to the tourists. The architectural design of a city often reflects the tradition and heritage of a nation and thus it is important to preserve the history of a nation through the architectural design of the city.

Besides, a rich architectural design of a city would attract more tourists that would contribute to the overall GDP of a country.

Detailed Discussion:

1. Is friendship important in your culture?A.Yes, friendship definitely does stands out at a pedestal which is above, I would like to say, above than the pedestal where relationship stands at. However, here I would also like to mention that with the term relationship, I would like to exclude the relationship of one with his or her spouse. In our culture we revere our friendship. We often recite that life is impossible without friends. Friendship is very special in our country, tradition and society.
2. How many close friends can you have?A.There is definitely a limit to all the good things that one can have access to. Similarly, though one can have ‘n’ number of friends but there are a very few who can be categorized as close friend, those whom one can confide in and have a heart to heart talk. In my case I can have 2-3 very close friends.
3. Are friends more important than family?A.  No, I would not support this statement. There is no doubt that in case of need, it is the friends who will be beside you, but then we cannot compare family. Once again I would like to say that family in this instance comprises of the spouse, the parents and children, and their relationship is beyond comparison. Yes friends do definitely have a special edge in our life but family comes first. Perhaps then stands the friendship which is very important as well.
4. What are the qualities of a good friend?A.  A good friend is a person in whom one can confide, can share one’s heart out. Rather share anything and everything without even thinking about the after effects of it. A good friend is also one who gives you a frank, fair and genuine advice, guidance and support in the hour of your need.

IELTS SPEAKING TOPIC-BASED SAMPLE NO. PART 3. 041

1. What are the differences of watching movies and reading books?A movie is an audio-visual presentation while a book is a composition of written words. They are both great sources of entertainment and knowledge. However, reading a book in my opinion if more effective than watching a movie. A great number of actors as well as producer, screen writer, director and other staffs are required to finally produce a movie while book is the printed version of the writing of a writer.

Movies present a story using different actors and actress and the acting is captured using a camera and then finally edited before releasing, while the books are mainly printed after being edited and corrected. We can watch movies with others but we usually read books alone.

Movies are the sources of easy entertainment and people naturally love to watch movies as pure source of entertainment although there are numerous movies that have deep underlying themes and lessons. On the contrary, most books enhance the knowledge and imagination power of readers and preferred by book lovers only.

1. Which one is more powerful? Why?In my opinion books are more powerful. A book is aimed to deliver a story, lesson and is a great source of information. Reading books enhances our knowledge, imagination and our horizon of wisdom. Most of the books are packed with the experience and imagination of writers and are the witness of history and time. Reading books is far better in terms of enhancing knowledge in my opinion.

While watching a movie, we mainly concentrate on the story and visual presentation of it. That gives us pure entertainment but in terms of provoking our brain, it is less effective than reading books. Books presents us words and with this a hypothetical world that we need to imagine in our mind. In case of movies, things are already seen; there are little score to use our imagination power.

1. Q. Do you like to watch movie staying at home in Television or in a theater? Why?
   I mostly prefer watching movies at home. I won’t say that I do not like watching a movie in a movie theater, but at home I have more control on what movie to watch and when. I can even change the movie if I find it boring but I do not have this option in a movie theatre.

With the advancement of technology and internet, we have now large smart TVs that offer almost similar experience that we can have in a theatre.

1. How can movies help up to shape our society?Movies reach to a large segment of people in a society and people often watch movies. Thus the movie can be an effective media for entertainment as well as tools for changing our society for the better. A good movie that focuses on the pressing issues of a society can create awareness of the problem and can also suggest some solutions.

If movies are based on real event and historical facts, people would learn about their history and past that might help them to become better citizens. Movie actors and actresses are quite popular in many societies and they can pass moral lessons to their fans.

Movies reflect the society and the people as a whole and thus have a great influence to shape the mentality of the people. It is not unusual that people would try to mimic the personality, behaviour, costumes of their famous actors and movie producers can use this as a positive tool to foster a better new generation.

Follow up questions:

1. Q. What kind of children activities are there available in your city?
   A.Children in our city often play outdoor games, though this trend is changing day-by-day with the advancement of computing and gaming devices. Children can visit the museum, zoological garden, and amusement parks in my city. They often go to exhibitions from schools which they enjoy a lot. Many parents take their children to their relative or friends’ houses where they play and make friends with other kids. They are also allowed to watch cartoon and other programmes suitable for them.
2. Q. What do you need to do to interest a child in such activities?
   A.We need to show our own engagement on an activity to show a child that this is particularly enjoyable and exciting. A child would easily engage in an interesting game if s/he notices that the adults are playing it. For creative activities like drawing, dancing, singing we need to inspire the child and appreciate his/ her talent. We need to give them the positive environment as well as making the activity fun to attract them. For visiting educative places like zoological garden and museum we need to take them the places and explain their significance. Finally a child is naturally fond of TV programmes like cartoon.
3. Q. What activities do you think there will be in the future?
   A.As the technology is advancing rapidly and is becoming more popular among the children, I think computer games, Internet and TV programmes would become more popular among children in the future. The schools are evolving from merely educational institutions to more entertaining and interactive, the schools would arrange more social gathering, party and tour that would become prominent in the future and many children would get engaged on these activities. Parents would become more conscious to nurture the hidden talents among their kinds and that’s why they would take them to different places to let them experience the world.
4. Q. What kind of pressure do children have at school?
   A.From my experience I can say that children nowadays have more classes to attend, more home works to do and more exam to take. From this regards, the children are burdened with the extended syllabus and lot of home-works. Many schools even make the project works and day-long classes mandatory and as a result today’s children are under lot of pressure.
5. Q. What is your view of the school of the future?
   A.I am pretty sure in future schools would become more interactive and interesting than it is now. Computer based lessons and online exams would become the main trend of education system and most of the schools would adopt the technology. Besides, they would focus on practical lessons than all theoretical study and finally the teachers would be more skilled to handle the kinds in schools. Schools would focus on nurturing the potential talents of children and thus would develop more extracurricular activities to offer to the children.

Follow-up question:

1. Q. Is it important to celebrate different events in our lives?
   Yes. I definitely think so. It's our responsibility to make sure that we enjoy and celebrate our life. It's the best way to create awesome memories; and for me it means a lot. The tradition of giving surprise gifts and spending time together with family and friends, is inevitable, according to me, in these hectic modern days. Moreover, it's a chance to meet new people and to refresh relationships with people around us.
2. Q. Are you a goal-settler? Why?
   I wouldn't dare to say I am a goal setter. I would rather like to experience everything which comes in my way, than creating goals and waiting for them to be achieved. I have always believed that when you live, you need to exhibit certain ethics and moral values, which would take you to your destiny and till this moment, it comes true in my life.
3. Q. Do you prefer celebrating family occasions at home or in a restaurant? Why?
   Definitely home. It's the place where we spend most of our life. I would not risk spoiling my memories, at a place which has little significance to us. Moreover, at home, I feel safe and happy with my dearest people around me. I don't know, why, but I have seen many people partying at restaurants and I presume it's always a personal choice.

1. Q. Compare reading a newspaper and a magazine.
   Newspaper, as its name suggests, includes all kinds of news and recent events and editorials. For example, by reading daily newspaper, we can get all information happened yesterday and in the week, sometimes even today’s event. While, magazines, on the other hand, are more likely to focus on certain area, such as geography, spots, short story, significant recent events etc. For instance, the magazine "Hello", includes lots of news about celebrities. People, who like stars like Beyonce or Victoria, can get special information from it.

Finally, newspapers are targeted for all the people while magazine targets people with special attraction to a certain niche or field. For instance, a newspaper might include an interesting news about a successful genetic engineering experiment that has grabbed a considerable attention on people recently with other regular and diverse type of news. On the other hand a magazine which is based on Genetic Engineering is aimed to target professionals and students of this field and would cover most of its articles on this subject.

1. Q. How do people read them? Do they just read the headlines or the entire story?
   It depends. Most people prefer to read the headlines first. If the headline attracts their attention, they prefer to read the whole story. For some certain people, they are the fan of some newspaper or magazine, and they are likely to read all of them.
   
   Again, in case of newspapers, people read the headlines and often skim though the news. Magazine readers prefer mostly to read the details article.
2. Q. Why do people read magazines?
   Like I said earlier, people read magazines to seek certain information. People read "Hello" and "US weekly" to get gossip and fashion news of celebrities. Geography and Nutrients are the magazines that offer the knowledge in special areas. Many professionals and students prefer to read magazines as those often come with special news, in depth articles and research papers related to their profession and study.
3. Q. Is reading the newspaper popular in your country?
   Yes, newspaper reading among people is quite popular actually. Evening papers are the most popular newspapers in my country. We get to know news from it every day. For example, the new policy issued by the government, and the construction about the train could be learned from such daily newspapers.
4. Q. What are the other sources of news? Do people from the rural areas have the same access to these sources as people from the urban areas?
   People can obtain news by watching TV and using the internet. These are also the population ways to get news. I believe so. In our modern society, even newspaper and magazine are popular, watching TV and internet become the most important and convenient ways for people no matter where they are living.
5. Q What are the advantages of the Internet?
   When people read a newspaper or a magazine, they can't choose what kind of information exactly they are willing to read. For example, it is hard to chase a piece of information about how a special medical technique developed in this month by reading them. But it works with internet. People can simply put keywords in Google search and get the results in one second. It is easier and more convenient. Again it’s not possible to purchase all the newspapers and magazines from a store. On the contrary, you can read as many newspapers, magazines and other news sources from internet. With the popularity of social media like Twitter and Facebook, the news are being shared and read by people without even searching for them. So I would say the advantages of internet as a whole and in terms of communication and news source is unparalleled.
6. Q. Are there any disadvantages?
   Of course it has. Every coin has two sides. The disadvantage for using the internet is that there are too many results and we have to choose which one to read that contains more useful information. The other disadvantage is that it is not very healthy to sit in front of laptop or computer for a long time. Finally, the news sources are not always authentic and one can often get biased and false news from the internet.
7. Q. Describe the impact of the internet in the lives of the students.
   It depends. For high school students, I think the negative impact overtake the position parts. They are more likely to be attracted by internet games, instead of learning things. They would spend too much time chatting and playing games than reading interesting
   
   The college students can control them better than high school students. Internet is a useful tool for them. Internet can offer them information to help them find the reference materials, especially for their dissertations and assignments.  
   
   For younger students like primary and secondary students, I think they should not use the internet at all. It is obvious that they will hurt their eyes and might find unsuitable content which is detrimental for their physical and psychological growth.
   
   Overall, students are relying on internet heavily than the past generation. They find study materials, they submit their homework, find references from internet and that has many positive sides in terms of their interaction with the teachers and classmates.
8. Q. Do you recommend that all countries adopt the latest trends in technology?
   I don't think so. Whether the latest trends in technology should be used or not depends on the development of the country. For example, when the technique of mitochondrial donation was published early this year, it was impossible for some developing countries to adopt this. It is not only because the money spent on this technique is expensive, but also the condition of technique in the country. Maybe America can use this one quickly, but for some countries, they can't even think about this when many people are living in poverty.
   
   However, the widely accepted technologies like online learning should be adopted by all countries for the sake of advancement.

1. Q. Which city of the world you would like to visit? Why?
   I would like to visit Brussels, which is the Capital of Belgium. This city is quite distinctive and after I saw a documentary on this city in Discovery Channel, I made my mind to visit this city someday. The heart of the city has the ornate Grand-Place and many cafes and fast food shops inside the 17th-century guildhouses. This city is the symbol of ancient prominence and the intricate Gothic Hôtel de Ville (town hall) with its distinctive bell tower is something worth visiting.
2. Q. What will you suggest to a tourist who came to visit your country?
   A. I would suggest any foreign tourist to visit the National Museum first. This would be an excellent opportunity for him/ her to learn about our history and traditions. I would also advise this person to stay at the northern rural part of the country to observe some of the historically important significances of 17th century. The city center at the west part of our capital offers excellent chance to observe the lively gathering of people from different professions. The main attraction of this place is actually the most popular coffee shop in our city and one of the best places to know about the people of our country. The Beach in the city of Ghaham is another attractive place this person should visit. The exotic foods, tranquility of the nature and wild beauties of the birds and animals are sure to amaze his/ her.
3. Q. Why traveling is important?
   Traveling is in fact a unique experience and a great source of firsthand knowledge. Travelling helps us to broaden our horizon of knowledge and deepen our understanding of the world, people and different cultures. Lessons learned from traveling different places are proven to be quite effective in practical life. Knowledge gained from books is often too much theoretical while traveling on the other hand gives us excellent opportunity to learn about life, culture, history and geography. There is a quite interesting saying that represents the true importance and significance of traveling:  “The more you will read the more will you learn. And the more you will learn the more places you would want to travel.”
4. Q. Have you ever been to a foreign country?
   Yes, I have been to several foreign countries including UK, India, Malaysia, Spain and Nepal. Each country has its own traditions and infrastructures so they gave me a whole new experience as a visitor.
5. Q. How do you compare the country you have visited with your own?
   Well, the countries I have visited are quite different than my home country in terms of people, their way of grooming, the language the use, the buildings, the history, the foods and many other aspects. While my countries have very few skyscrapers and high rising buildings, UK and Spain had plenty of them. The foods and people’s interactions were different. Finally I am accustomed with all the aspects and way of life in my home country while these two were quite new for me in other countries.

Discussion topics: "How values can change."

1. Q.What kind of possessions show status in your country?A• Well, in our country a large house, expensive and latest car, latest electronic gadgets are often considered to be the possessions of high status. Apart from that, a top position in a well-known company and exposure to media are two others things that people often consider as symbols of high status.
2. Q.Do you think it was different for your grandparents?A• I think it was not much different. The electronic gadgets would be the latest additions though. During my grandparent’s era, the symbols of status were land ownership, political influence, big houses, and expensive cars - which were quite similar as they are today. I guess the so called status symbols are quite materialistic in our society and that’s why it was not much different for my grandparents as well.
   
   The consumer society
3. Q.Modern society is often called ‘materialistic’. Why do you think this is?A• This is mainly because of our inclination to worldly success and competition to possess more than we need. The globalization has also affected our mentality to possess more and more than ever before. We compete with others and put too much concern about our status. The old ways of traditional life and values have declined alarmingly among the societies and we are following the trend without giving much consideration. The decline of family bonding and patriotism are also making us more materialistic. We feel proud to own a luxury car, latest cell phone and powerful parents while we think very less about the people who are suffering from daily basic needs. This mentality is like a virus and competition among us is also making it worse.
4. Q.Do you think consumerism is a positive or a negative development?A• The concept of consumerism causes a materialistic belief that the more materials acquired by an individual the better, implying an increased value placed on material possessions. In my opinion this is a negative development. While millions of people are starving every day, others are changing their mobile phone and car every few months. The waste disposal has already become a huge issue and the increased usages of electronic devices are increasing the world temperature which is dangerous for the world. The consumerism also makes people more materialistic and thus they forget the traditions and values of their society.
   
   The consumer market
5. Q.What is the role of advertising?A• The true role of advertising is to promote a product or service among the potential consumers and customers. Advertising is particularly important to establish the brand reputation in the market and to allure people to purchase a product or to enlist to a service offered. Advertisement from non-profit organizations and Government often aim to create awareness on important issues among people.
6. Q.How do you think the Internet will affect buying patterns in the future?A• Internet has already established its supremacy in the consumer market and a lot of people nowadays purchase products or services online. The ecommerce is booming and it is not far away when people would absolutely rely on online shopping than the conventional market place. The ecommerce websites are ever increasing and people no longer needs to go to a shopping mall to purchase the products s/he needs. The advancement in internet technology will capture a major share of all trades and shopping done by consumers in the near future.

The role of ceremony in our lives:

1. How important are ceremonies in our lives?Ceremonies are our expressions of joy, passion, devotion and bonding. We celebrate through the different ceremonies we have in our life. Some ceremonies have religious, patriotic, cultural and traditional significance. They are filled with ritual and it helps us to acknowledge the true meaning of our life and presence.

Many ceremonies strengthen our family and social bonding. We celebrate to welcome a new born in this world, to cherish our memory, to congratulate someone; in graduation, marriage and anniversary ceremonies. Many ceremonies show that we care, and we are true friends; which simply help to heal the wound.

Ceremonies motivate us, inspire us and refresh us to work in new spirit and some ceremonies let us forget our woes and depression. Some ceremonies like New Year eve, Christmas, Eid are celebrated worldwide and remind us who we are, what course of actions define us.  Finally ceremonies can bring enemies together to forget their hostility and gives us excellent opportunity to know new people and make friends.

Q. Do you see the role of private and public ceremonies changing in the future?
A. I think I have already observed some changes in the role of both private and public ceremonies in our life. That’s why I believe that the ceremonies as well as their roles in our personal and social life would also change in the future. For example, some ceremonies are not as widely celebrates as we used to do it in the past. Many public ceremonies have political relation and that would surely be changed.

In terms of role of private ceremonies; their role would changed in terms of their influence on our personal and social life. Since people in different era have different doctrine and way of living, the role of private festivals thus changes over time. The public ceremonies changes based on a country’s economical and political situations, so do they roles in our lives.

Attitudes to marriage in your country:

1. Have attitudes to marriage changed in recent years?Yes, in my opinion that has changed a lot. While arranged marriage was the norm in past decade, people no longer follow this trend nowadays. The average age of marriage for both male and female is around 25 years, while it was far less than that just in last decade. Parents in older generations prepared their daughters to get married with established men. This attitude has changed and they are now making sure that their daughters have their own identity and establishment before getting married.

While the number of single father or single mother in our country was very few, this has increased nowadays and seems like this is because of the increased divorce rate.

Q. In what ways do men and women feel differently about marriage, in your opinion?
A. I think the basic feelings of marriage would be same for both men and women. This includes the excitement, some anxiety, dream, hope, uncertain new lifestyle, responsibilities etc.

But it’s also true that in our society marriage means a bonding between a man and woman and in traditional arrangement the bride would leave her house and start living in the groom’s house. From this context the girl’s feeling would be different from the boy. The boy would be responsible for earning the money and that’s something the bride would not feel anxious about.

Events of national/global significance:

Q. What sort of national events make headlines in your country?
A. Any big political movement, a success or failure by our national sport team, a natural disaster, a new law, any brutal crime, national festivals or misconduct by any renowned politician would usually make headlines in our newspapers.

Any big success by our scientists, engineers, researchers would also make headlines. Sometimes news editors pick some interesting and comical events to presents at the headlines of their newspapers as well.

Q. Does the media in your country pay more attention to global or national events?
A. We have more than 100 daily newspapers and more than 20 TV channels that mainly focus on our nationals events. But that does not mean that they ignore the important global events to be reported. In fact, they make a good balance of national and international news and events. Some programs and sections of newspapers are dedicated for national events while others are for international news and events. I would say that would be a 60, 40 rations in terms of national and international news and events in our media.

Discussion topics: "People’s cinema-going habits nowadays."

1. Do you think the cinema has increased or decreased in popularity in recent years?A.I believe that the popularity of cinema has increased in the past few years. It can be seen from the number of Movie theaters that have been build in many big cities. It means that the demand of cinema has increased and more business people are investing on the building the cinema halls. Apart from that, more television channels are showing movies daily and the numbers of movie viewers are increasing day by day. The globalization and easy access to foreign films made it possible for people to watch movies that were produced and released on the other side of the planet.
2. In your opinion, will this trend continue into the future?A.Yes I do believe that it will grow more in the future. It is because that we are living in the modern world where we have more opportunity to view the variety genres of movies from differentThe working hours have become longer and the works are more stressful these days. This means that people need more entertainment to loosen their tense, and one of them is by going to the cinema. Movies are becoming more popular among the teenagers and because of the variety of movies people would go to watch movies more.
   
   Making a film or TV drama of real/ fictional events
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of making films of real-life events?A.The advantages of making film based on a real life event are that we could learn many things from such films. For example, when we make a film based on a true story of World War 1 or 2, we can learn about the cruelties of war, therefore we should avoid any kind of wars and support the world peace. The real event movies are more important in terms of underlining story, lesson, historical figures and facts. This type of film reveals the past among us and creates lasting impression on the viewers.

However, among the drawbacks of such films, we can say that it is not easy to produce such movies that would be based on true facts and entertaining at the same time. Producers often need to put extra emphasize on choosing casts, costumes and locations to make such movies. Such films might be biased sometimes and would spark a flame of criticisms. Then there is a chance that it won’t be able to attract all types of movie viewers and that the box office hits of such movies are often uncertain.

1. How important do you think it is for a film-maker to remain true to the original story?A.Well I think it depend on how the director wants to convey the message of the film. If his purpose is to show history, then I believe that it should stick to the original story. Meanwhile, if the aim of the films is for popularity or entertainment, then the director could develop the story.

Sometimes many books are converted to films and in such cases the film makers often change the dialogues and story of the original one. If the story is a fictitious one, I think the film makers should change a bit to make the movie more attractive. However, if the story is based on a prominent historical event or person, then they should remain as much authentic and true as possible to the original event or character.


Censorship and the freedom of the film-maker/TV producer

1. Should films and television be censored or should we be free to choose what we see?A.In my opinion, I think films and TV programmes should be censored, since they might contain some in appropriate scenes which could be embarrassing for the whole family. The amount of violence, blood-scene, drug abuse and slangs used on TV programmes and movies should also be censored as it might not be appropriate for people of all

Many films show adults or violence scenes these days, and they should be censored, since it could have negative effects on people, especially on the children’s imagination.

1. How do you think censorship laws will change in the next 20 years?A.Well, even though I support censorship, but I think it will be loosen in the future because people would be able to access films from many sources including internet these days. For example, children will be able to download films in their tablet PCs and watch films that they like. Therefore it is important for us to monitor our children’s gadget these days, to ensure that they watch appropriate films.

The trends of movie censorship reveal the fact that movies are not censored as strictly as the used to be in the past. The freedom of creative arts will also be a dominating factor for the loosely censorship of movies.

Discussion topics: "Developments in education..."

Q.How has education changed in your country in the last 10 years?
A. I live in a developing country where the education sector went through numerous changes including the government’s more fund allocation in education, more women enrollment in higher studies, changes in academic syllabus etc.

During the last 10 years the most significant change that has happened in education sector in my country is the people’s mentality regarding the necessity of education. Only 20-30 years back many parents showed little interest in sending their kids to school. But that has radically changed in my country and nowadays almost every parent sends their children to school. This is a giant leap in my opinion in terms of the advancement of our education. Government allocated a share portion of its budget to ensure the schools infrastructure, study materials and salary of the teachers and that has been proven effective to build a solid ground to make an education nation. Only in the last 5 years our literacy rate has almost doubled and I give a major credit to the government for ensuring free education in primary level, special scholarship and monetary rewards to women students.

I am not 100% sure about the exact statistics but my best guess would be that more than 200-300 colleges and universities have been established in the last few years. We had only 4-5 engineering university back in 2000 but we have more than 30 such educational institutions now. More importance has been given to vocational education and thus a large number of underprivileged populations have come under the vocational education system.

In a nutshell, that was a massive change and I have witnessed some of those changes in my own eyes including how public exams’ quality have been improved, how the schools are emphasizing on English and Mathematics as academic subjects and so on and on.

Q.What changes do you foresee in the next 50 years?
A. If you ask me about the type of changes that might occur in education sector in my country in next 50 years, I would need to rely on my own past experience and predictions mostly. My best guess is that, the education would be more practical than theoretical in future. Women’s participation and performance in education would excel to a great extent. More women would be in research and higher education than their male counterpart.

The education would be expensive and private education institutes would be more demanding than the public and state owned ones. More foreign students would come to study here and the number of higher education institutes would increase by many-fold than the current number.

The digitalization and computer based education system would replace many traditional education systems and the online education would be a very popular form during that time.

Curriculum and subject offered in the college and education level would see a dramatic increase and technology would be the most important and demanding subject in this era.

Not sure if I will be alive or not to see the changes but I hope many positive changes within the next 50 years in my country including 100% literacy rate, more engineering and research based education system, some of our universities are raking in the world’s best university list and we are renowned as a country of a very excellent place for education.

A national education system...

Q.How do the expectations of today’s school leavers compare with those of the previous generation?
A. Well, the schools leavers nowadays are expected to study further and get involved in a part-time job to gain practical experience. The job market is pretty competitive compared to the previous time. Getting a good job requires talent, some practical experience, good grades in school and many other criteria. The competitions in public service or Government jobs are even higher. In the past decades there were very few school graduates in my country and hence securing a job both in public and private sector was not that tough.

The requirement is education is higher than the past. Twelve class degree is not enough to get a decent job. Recruiters are looking for candidates with prior job experiences and at least Bachelor degree. Thus the school leavers nowadays have no other option but to continue their studies. Getting a part-time job besides the study is a dream for many.

I heard from my grandfather that there were only few bachelor degree holders in his whole village while there must be more than 100 bachelor degree holders in a single community these days.

Those who leave school without completing the course have no other option but to either look after their family business or manage a job where physical labour is the only skill s/he has.

The population in my country has almost doubled in the last decade and that is pretty obvious that the completion the school leavers nowadays face is tremendous. Among the school leavers, many decide their major in college or university while other prefers vocational education. This facility was very narrow in my grandfather’s generation as I know. So I would say there is a whole lot of difference between current and past generations in terms of their opportunity, action and plan after leaving school.

Q.What role do you think extracurricular activities play in education?
A. Extracurricular activities sharpen the minds of students and enhance their creativity. Activities that require physical movements keep their body fit and thus the importance of extracurricular activities are immense. It is often experienced that kids who have interest in sports and games outperform the others in many fields. Extracurricular activities like singing, debating, painting can be very handy in terms of career enhancement. Students who have extracurricular activities possess better leadership and social activities. Finally from my experience I can say that such students have better knowledge about the world than students who are solely focused on academic lessons.

Different styles/ methods of teaching and learning...

1. Q.What method of learning works best for you?I prefer to work in pair for the complex topics and subjects. The group discussion in particular works best for me. When I study in a group I can discuss my views and learn opinions of others. Thus the discussion is always helpful and I can better perform in exam and remember the details for a long.
2. Q.How beneficial do you think it is to group students according to their level of ability?It’s always beneficial for students to make a group for study and discussion. If the group comprises students of similar caliber and talent levels, they are proven to be more helpful. Similar abilities of students in a group can be advantageous from mainly two points of views. They are more frank to participate in discussion and they have a good understanding among themselves. Secondly, they understand each other better and can advise in an effective way.

If a group is formed with different levels of students, there is a chance that a really talented student would get bored with the silly discussions by the others while a dull student among really talented group mates would not dare to opine whenever s/he likes.

Discussion topics: "Looking after historic places..."

1. Q.How do people in your country feel about protecting historic buildings?Most of the people in my country would advocate protecting any significant historic building. The historic buildings in my country are the icons of our heritage and we feel very proud to have them. It is not unlikely for people to protest against any planning or activities that might negatively affect our tradition and historic significance including those building.

I can recall an event from my college days when our teacher asked us to leave the classroom and take part in a rally that would march towards the local administrative complex to protest a decision taken by the local authority to diminish an old building to establish a hospital there. This old building was more than 1000 years old and it was once a part of the early ‘independence movement’ in our country against the invaders of foreign power. The protest took a great shape and people stayed there until the local authority assured that they will talk to the higher authority about it. The protest continued to grow and eventually after few months it won its victory when an alternative landscape was chosen to build the hospital. In fact these types of events in my country are not rare and that shows our feelings about the historic buildings.

1. Q.Do you think an area can benefit from having an interesting historic place locally? In what way?An interesting historic place encourages national and international tourists to travel to this area and this in term of tourism and economic development is very important. Local people get many benefits from a renowned tourist spot including employment opportunity, better exposure of their culture and custom to the world and finally they get many development works in their area since the government invests to promote the area.
   
   Apart from that, having a historic place is an area is a matter of pride and people of such area can easily describe their home town or locality to the people of other parts of the country.
2. Q.What do you think will happen to historic places or buildings in the future? Why?I think the prominent and popular historic places and buildings which are famous among national and international tourists would survive and the government would try to preserve such places both because of its historic and economic significances. Besides, many other historic places which are the part of the national pride would also continue to exist as they are known throughout the country and government would take care of such places.

However, there are many historic buildings and places that are less famous and have very few visitors to visit them. Such buildings and places would face catastrophic destiny in a distant future. As the population of our country is increasing, the necessity would appear to diminish such buildings and to establish new multi-complex building. I guess such less important historic buildings and places would cease to exist after a century when the generation of that time would give less priority to their past heritage than their present necessity.

The teaching of history at school.....

1. Q. How were you taught history when you were at school?
   I mostly learned about our national any many international historical events from our academic books, journals and TV programs. Teachers used to teach us the history books we had in our syllabus. They first emphasized on the history that were part of our class lessons and some of the teachers were really good as they explained the history in details. This covered mostly the national history. Sometimes the school arranged trips to national historical places as part of our lessons and the local tour guides told us a lot about the historical significance of such places.

We also learned from the story our teachers told us about numerous historical events especially about our freedom fight and Second World War. Sometimes the teachers inspired us to read history books and gave us assignment on a particular historical event and we had to complete our assignment as part of our academic exams. This was an excellent way to learn more about the history.

1. Q.Are there other ways people can learn about history, apart from at school? How?Definitely there are many other ways people can learn about history and that varies from reading books till travelling to historically important places.

First books offer us an excellent opportunity to learn about the world history. If someone is interested in learning the History, he has countless options to read famous and resourceful historical books. Apart from that, many television channels, like History Channel, National Geography Channel, Discovery Channel etc. offer excellent documentaries on history that can be very helpful for learning about world history. Libraries and museums could be other two important resources for people to learn about history. When people travel to different places, they can also learn about the historical significant of such places.

Reading history journals can be another good way of learning about the history. In fact, there are many different ways of learning about history than to be taught history in the classroom by teachers and an inquisitive person has many options to learn about that.

1. Q.Do you think history will still be a school subject in the future? Why?I most certainly believe that history would always be a part of school syllabus in the near and far future. The fundamental of history and its importance are learned from the school and that has a lasting impact on students. The inquisitiveness about history is formed among students when the teachers explain some great historic events in the classroom. The significance of history can never be denied as it teaches us our past, our ancestors and the world our grandparents used to live. Those lessons create our impression and concept about the world we live in.

We can’t build a great future without knowing our past and the school plays an important role in forming our curiosity in History. That’s why I believe that history will always be a major subject in school in the future.

[OK, good. I would like to go back to you now.]

1. Q. How do you think studying overseas will be different to studying in your own country?
   A. Studying in a foreign country is far different than studying in home country. First of all a student would have to leave his family, relatives, friends and stay in a different country to continue his/ her study in a foreign university. In home country s/he has the option to either attend classes from home or to stay at the university residence halls. In the second case s/he can meet family and relatives frequently and can make new friends very quickly. While studying in a foreign university students often suffer from home sickness and have to get enrolled in part time jobs to support his/ her expenses. While studying overseas universities students can learn about different custom, culture and tradition. Overseas universities are often better in quality than home universities and thus overseas universities offer quality education and this has a better prospect in the future career. Among other differences, the language, communication and exam systems might be different. Finally, overseas university offers latest and up to date curriculum while home universities, especially in less developed countries, might lack the proper study environment and proper syllabus.
2. Q. So what problems do you think you will have studying abroad?
   A. I will miss my family members and I think for the first few weeks this would be terrible. All my life I lived with my family members and being in a foreign country would mean that, I can contact them over phone and have video calls, but can’t spend time with them in person.

The language barrier would be another problem. My English is better than average but still understanding and communicating with people of a different country who have a different accent is sometimes an unavoidable problem. Hopefully this won’t last for a long as I am a quick learner and I will try my best to learn the manner, custom and accent of this country very quickly.

Another problem that might arrive is loneliness. This is going to be a new country and I won’t have any friends and relatives. So the first few days would be lonely I guess. Travelling and not knowing the route and bus number would be another problem. The different kinds of foods in this country might be a problem as I am habituated to eat common types of foods available in my country. It might happen that I won’t find foods of my preference near my living place.

Finally finding a senior student, classmate or a teacher who would spend some time to explain some of the lessons that I might find difficult would be another problem I guess. In my country I always had resources and helping hands for my studies. I guess that would not be available initially in a new country where I would go for study.  

I think these are the main issues I will face in first few weeks after I arrive at a different country to study.

1. Q. Do you think you will have many difficulties adapting to a new culture?
   A. 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. But of course, it is bit tough to adapt a new culture very, especially when the culture and tradition are quite different from my home country. But I have the confidence that I won’t face many difficulties there, specially related to the new culture, as I already did my research on common customs and traditions of this new country. So nothing would be whole new and shocking for me, I hope.
2. Q. Do you think that there will be any major changes in your field of study over the next few years?
   A. Yes, the subject Computer Science by its nature changes over time. Since this is a pure technology based subject unlike other subjects like History, Mathematics, Arts etc. changes are very obvious. Programming languages and computer hardware are ever changing from the very beginning and many changed would occur in my field of study.

The courses change very frequently and many new algorithms are introduced to make the computing and software development more efficient. 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.

1. Q. How do you think an overseas degree will improve your professional skills?
   A. I am planning to have an overseas degree mainly because of the finest quality and facilities this university can offer in my area of study. The overseas degree would actually ensure a better study environment and learning opportunity for me. Thus I would be able to learn better and have better skills to pursue a better career.

In my country a foreign degree is given a priority in case of job interview. Many local and international organizations even mention that a foreign degree from a reputed university would be a plus for the candidate. So I am sure having a foreign degree would open more opportunity for me in my professional life.

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. The top notch universities of a first world country are often renowned for their research and I will put every effort to get involved in such research facilities to enhance my skills.

1. Q.What do you intend to do once you have finished your studies?A. I will get admitted in my Masters degree in few months and after I finish my studies, I would get back to my country. Once I get back to my country, I will start applying for a suitable job. In fact the job would be the place where I would be able to learn even more and use the knowledge I have learned in the past few years and will learn in next two years.

So in a nutshell, starting a job related to my study to enhance my skill would be the first thing I will do after I finish my graduation. Apart from that, I have a plan to work on a personal eCommerce project that I have been planning for years. The potential of eCommerce in my home country is immense and I would try to tap in this sector to establish a large eCommerce business.

These are the plans I have now for my immediate future but time often drives us to new tracks and different motivations. So if something bigger and better comes across my pathway, I will plan accordingly then.

1. Q. What do you see yourself doing professionally in 10 years' time? And how do you see your personal life changing?
   A. Umm, predicting what I will be doing after 10 years is bit tricky! But if everything goes according to my plan and the Almighty drives me to the right track, I will own my own Ecommerce business after 10 years. I will be able to quit my day job at that time and would be able to fully concentrate on my own business. Ecommerce would not be the only thing where I would be working then. At that time I will own some of the prominent and large software nationally and internationally. I have a plan to establish a night school in my hometown and hopefully in ten years that would be renowned one and a role model for the people of my locality.

After 10 years I will probably be a married person with 1-2 kids of my own. That would be a big change I guess. There would be many responsibilities and new ways of life. I will devote more on doing humanitarian things than concentrating more on personal gains. Probably my choices of dresses, foods, music, movies and books would change and I would become more matured. Finally I will have fewer friends than I have now but they would be very close. My relationship with my co-workers and employees would be more prominent than my relationship with my university or college friends. I think those are very significant changed that are most likely to take place in my personal life after 10 years or so.

[OK I think that's all I want to ask you today. Thank you very much. It was very interesting talking to you and I wish you all the best with your future studies. Goodbye now.]

[Now let's go to real life and you.....]

Q. Tell me, what do you think are the greatest problems facing your country at present?
A. Economic development issue, political instability, unemployment and healthcare are the major issues most of the people in my country face. In my opinion these are the most burning issues and the greatest problems we have in our country.

1. Q. And what has been done so far to solve these problems?
   A.The government has taken many initiatives for the economic progress of our country. According to the statistics, we are indeed progressing. But I am not convinced with the reported statistics. I want to see the result, I want to feel it. The political instability seems like consuming most of our good will and energy. While major political parties should have worked together to help improve our economic conditions, sometimes their actions give me real doubt whether they are the type of leaders we need for our country!

On the positive sides, government has emphasized on ICT sector, has made the export process easier for business people, established many training institutes to enhance the skill of the rural people and those are all hopeful signs. Someday definitely we will see the progress. Education, skill, foreign investment, job security etc. are also important areas where the government has invested a lot of money. The aim of this investment is to create a skilled and educated generation who would lead the economy and the country.

The healthcare section is still an expensive area for the mass people and the government’s initiatives for establishment of new hospitals, enrolling more doctors and nurses are in reality very little compared to the actual need.

1. Q. How successful would you say these measures have been?
   A.These measures are successful to some extent but if I present it in figures, it would only few percentages than the actual progress we expect. For instance: more than three thousands hospitals are required throughout the country whereas only 45 hospitals have been established in the last one year.
2. Q. Do you think things are likely to get better or worse in the future?
   A.We hope that the problem we have in our country would be resolved in next few years. The government and other organizations are working hard to address these issues and we are noticing some progress. So we can definitely be positive and wait for the glorious days when we won’t have those issues. This was an optimistic idea and I possess this positive idea about my country. But the greatest obstacle is the hunger for power and our political parties often create haphazard situation for the power. This is the single reason that can degrade the situation in the future.
3. Q. Is what you are going to study likely to be of any use to solve these problems?
   A.I am going to finish my graduation majoring Computer Science and I am very positive that it would directly or indirectly help eradicate unemployment, economic progress issues to some extent that I have talked about. After finishing my education, I would establish a small software company and hopefully one day it would grow to be a large company where thousands of employees would work. The ICT sector also helps earning foreign remittance for a country and I would also contribute to enhance the foreign remittance for my country.

[Thank you very much. It's been pleasant talking to you. I wish you success in your study program. Goodbye.]
