1. First set of questions, asked to almost all students
1. May I know your full name?
My full name is Kiranpreet Kaur Makkar.

speak the name given in the passport, which may not have the surname. So, you must speak
your full name in answer to this question)
2. How may I address you?
You may address me as Kiran.
(Note 1: Here you may even speak your nickname. It just means that while asking the next
questions, the examiner will call you by that name.

used as a verb, which means ‘call’. In other words, the question is - How may I call you?)
3. May I see your ID?
Here is my passport. (Note: open the first page of the passport and show it to the examiner.
You don’t need to say ‘Yes’)

I live in Punjab. It is like a semi-arid region and the weather is mainly hot and dry, except in
the monsoons when it rains a lot, and it becomes hot and humid.

I prefer cold weather because I think I work more effectively in cold weather. In hot weather, I
feel lazy and lethargic somehow.

I love the rain. Perhaps it’s because I live in a dry region, and it receives very less rainfall.
4 Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast? When/How often?
I normally don’t check the weather forecast except during the monsoons. During the monsoon
season, the rainfall becomes very unpredictable and so before I leave the house, I check the
weather forecast and if it is going to rain, I carry an umbrella.

Personally, I wouldn’t. I am still old-fashioned in this regard. I prefer spending time with my
friends face to face rather than online.

I think it keeps on changing with time. When I was young, there were websites like Orkut which
were really popular, then it was taken over by Facebook and today is the era of Instagram and
Snapchat. I am not sure why, but it is about the ease of access to these latest apps that make
them popular.

2 Did you often eat snacks when you were young?
No, my parents were really strict with me eating snacks when I was young. They made sure I
only ate healthy home-cooked meals.
3 When do you usually eat snacks now?
I normally eat snacks in the evening along with tea. It is the time, we all family members sit
together and enjoy tea and snacks. I also eat snacks at night after dinner when I am watching
movies.
4 Do you think it is healthy for you to eat snacks?
No, it is not very healthy to eat too much of snacks. And that is the problem with snacks, they
are so delicious that we tend to overeat. Nowadays, I have started eating baked chips to avoid
this.

also used to make a statement about one’s personality and ability to buy one.

Till a few years ago it was considered an integral part of one’s attire because without a watch one

Yes, I have always had dogs as pets. I love dogs and so does everyone in my family. Right now, I

I don’t use headphones when I am driving a car, bike, or motorcycle. They block out our hearing
senses and can be distracting. I also don’t use them when I am with friends and family. I think it’s rude
to use them while interacting with people and I should be paying full attention to them.
86. Shoes
1. Do you like buying shoes? How often?

and if there is a good sale/discount.

Yes, I like shopping online and have bought shoes online but prefer buying them in store. Buying
shoes online is tricky as the sizing is sometimes wrong, but most companies offer good exchange
policies for such situations.
3. How much money do you usually spend on shoes?
I spend 2000-3000Rs on shoes. I wait for good sales before I buy shoes. Most companies mark down
their shoes quite a bit during sales and that’s when I prefer to buy them.
4. Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?
I prefer comfortable shoes. I have bought fashionable shoes before, but they make my feet hurt after
1-2 hours. There are shoes like sneakers which can be both comfortable and fashionable.

colour. My school bag was always red and my clothes also had shades of red.

Yes, definitely. Colour is very important while shopping. I like my clothes in light pastel shades but
household items like bed sheets and dinner sets in bright shades.

I like all colours but I wouldn’t like grey on the walls of my house because I find grey to be a dull
colour.
12. What is the difference between men’s and women’s preference on colours?
There are no gender differences nowadays. Both men and women wear on types of colors.
13. Have you ever seen a rainbow?
Yes, I have seen a rainbow many times. It looks very beautiful. Generally, it is seen in the rainy
season. There are seven colors in the rainbow – violet, indigo, Blue, Green, yellow, Orange and red.
I feel really happy when I see a rainbow. In Hindu mythology, it is called Indradhanush, or the bow of
the Lord indra, the Lord of thunder and lightning.
90. Ge

Yes, I have lost my way many times. One time I got lost on my way to a friend’s wedding in the
outskirts of our town as I was not familiar with that area.
2. How can you find your way when you are lost?
Usually, one can use the maps app on their phones to get the right directions but sometimes it doesn’t
work because some areas don’t have a good signal. Another way is to ask people around for help or
stop at a store and ask people who work there.
3. Can you read a map when you get lost?
Yes, I can read a map, but I usually don’t carry a map. I am dependent on the map app on my phone
and can read the map there.

India has a tropical climate, and many varieties of flowers grow here like Rose, Jasmine,
Marigold, Lotus, Sunflower, Dahlia, etc.
2. Are there any flowers that have special meaning in India?
Lotus, the national flower of India is a symbol of purity and is considered auspicious in Hindu
culture. Many Hindu gods and goddesses are depicted as sitting on the lotus flower or holding
it in their hands. It is used for worshipping purposes and offered to deities in religious
ceremonies.
Another example is Jasmine which is also considered sacred in India and is a symbol of love,
purity, hope, and optimism. Jasmine garlands are used in Indian wedding ceremonies and
many brides also wear it in their hair.
3. Have you planted any flowers?
I have planted many rose bushes in my backyard. They not only look beautiful but are easy to

containers on my front porch. They have a very sweet fragrance and I find it very relaxing to
sit by them.
4. Have you sent flowers to anyone?
I send flowers to my parents on their anniversary every year. My mother is very fond of flowers
and likes to put them by their kitchen window. I have also given flowers to my friend and
relatives on special occasions like birthdays and weddings.
95. Ba
rbecue
1. Do Indian people like barbecue
Yes, Indian people like barbeque. Traditionally in India, Barbeque is cooked in a Tandoor
which is a cylindrical clay oven heated with charcoal or wood. This gives the food a smoky
flavor. Mostly restaurants have big tandoors and at home, people use a small tandoor or grill.
It is very popular in North India.
2. What kind of food do you like to eat for barbeque?
Tandoori chicken is my most favorite barbeque food. Chicken is marinated in yogurt and Indian
spices and then cooked on skewers in the tandoor. I also like Naan which is like a grilled
flatbread that is made by sticking the dough directly on the walls of the hot clay oven.
3. Would you like to have barbeque with your family or your friends?
I would like to have barbeque with both family and friends. I am very close with my family and
most of my friends know my parents and siblings.

4. Did you have barbeque when you were a child?
When I was a child, we didn’t cook barbeque at home as we did not have a tandoor or a grill.
However, I remember eating it at restaurants and getting takeout from nearby food vendors.
96. Car Trip
1. Do you like to travel by car?
Yes, I like to travel by car. I find it very convenient and time saving compared to taking the
bus. I have a scooter too but prefer taking the car especially during the hot summer days.
2. When do you travel by car?
I like to travel by car when I am going to places in my town or nearby cities (2-3 hours). For
long journeys, I prefer the train to the car. The roads in many parts of my country are not in
good condition, so car trip for long journeys is not safe and uncomfortable.
3. Where is the farthest place you have traveled by car?
The farthest place I have been to by car is Jaipur, Rajasthan. It was a very last-minute trip as
my grandfather got very sick and we couldn’t find any train tickets. My father and I took turns
driving the car and reached there in about 12 hours.
4. Do you like to sit in the back or front when travelling by car?
I like to sit in the front row either driving the car or in the passenger seat. The front seat has a
better view and I like to keep a watch on traffic even when I am not driving. I feel in control
when I am in the front.
97. Relax
1. What do you do to relax?
I like to do gardening to relax. Gardening brings me closer to nature and helps me forget about
the daily stresses of life. Tending to the plants, watering them, and watching them grow gives
me joy. Even sitting outside in a garden after a hectic day brings me calm.
2. Do you think doing sports is a good way to relax?
Yes, doing sports is a good way to relax. The physical action involved in sports is not only
beneficial for our physical health but also our mental and phycological well-being. When we
play sports, our bodies produce endorphins that make us feel good. Also, playing sports helps
us sleep better and gives us a chance to socialize with other players.
3. Do you think vacation is a good time for you to relax?
Yes, vacation is a good time to relax. Taking a vacation is a good way to unplug from work
and other day-to-day activities. It is also a great time to spend with family and helps strengthen
family bonds. It recharges our batteries and leaves us feeling refreshed.
4. Do you think students need more relaxing time?
Yes, students need more relaxing time. Students have a very packed schedule and stress is
inevitable. More relaxing time in between classes or after school is essential for their mental
health and well-being. it also makes them more productive and improves their focus.

98. Special Costumes

Yes, I like to wear special costumes. I think they are very fun and allow us to show off our
creativity. Also, Halloween has become popular in India because of our increasing exposure
to western culture.
2. Did you try any special costumes when you were young?
When I was young, we used to have fancy dress competitions in my school. I remember one
year I dressed up as a Robot and won second prize. My mother is very creative and made me
the costume at home from aluminum foil-covered cardboard boxes. It was such a cool costume
and all my friends loved it.
3. When was the last time you wore special costumes?
The last I wore a special costume was last year for my friends’ birthday. My friend did a
Bollywood-themed party at her house for her 18th birthday. We all had to dress up as famous
actors/actresses. I decided to dress up as actress Kangana Ranaut and copied her look from
the movie Queen.
4. Did you ever buy special costumes?
I have never bought special costumes. I like to create them at home using clothes and things
I already have.
99. Wal
let
1. Do you use a wallet?
Yes, I use a wallet every day to carry my credit cards, cash, and any important receipts or
documents. Carrying loose cash and cards in the pocket or directly in a bag is not safe. A
wallet also helps protect our valuables from getting wet in case it rains.
2. Have you ever lost a wallet?
Yes, one time I lost my wallet on the bus. I was going to college and paid for my bus ticket.
When I got off the bus, I realized I didn’t have my wallet. I tried to chase after the bus but was
not able to catch up.
3. Have you ever sent a wallet to someone as a gift?
Yes, I gifted my father a wallet on his 40th birthday. I have seen using the same wallet for
years. It was very old, and the stitching was coming apart. I knew he would never buy it for
himself unless it was completely unusable. He was very happy when he saw my gift and still
uses that wallet.
4. Do most of your friends use a wallet?
Yes, most of my friends use a wallet.

100. Primary School
1. What did you like to do the most when you were in primary school?
When I was in primary school, I loved to do Art the most. I think it was mainly because of my

very patient, creative, and caring. She would tell us to draw from our hearts and would always
appreciate our creations.

I used to take the school bus to go to primary school. The bus stop was right next to my house
and all my neighborhood friends would come there to take the bus.
3. How do you like your primary school?

101. En
vironmental protection

Yes, I would certainly like to work for an eco-friendly company that has adopted sustainable
practices and gone green. Our planet is facing a lot of environmental problems like climate
change, global warming, air pollution, water pollution, waste disposal, etc. Natural disasters
like earthquakes, tsunamis, and cyclones have so become common in the past few decades.
All companies and individuals must actively take steps to protect our environment.
2. How can we protect the environment?
There are many ways we can help the help environment and reduce our carbon footprint.
1) Use reusable cloth bags instead of single-use plastics.

3) Unplug household appliances when you are not using them.
4) Plant trees.

6) Bike to work/college if possible.
7) Use eco-friendly products.
8) Conserve Water
3. Do you think you have done enough to protect the environment?
I don’t think I have done enough. There is so much more that I can do. I have started small
changes at home like recycling, reducing food waste, composting, and not using plastics. One

thing I need to do is to start car-pooling with colleagues instead of driving my car to work. I
would also like to get solar panels for my house and energy-efficient appliances.
4. Is there education about environmental protection at school?
Yes, environmental education is part of formal education in Indian schools (it was made
compulsory through a supreme court judgment in 2003). Children are the future, and they
must be taught about environmental issues at a young age so that they grow up to lead an
eco-friendly life.

It is important to learn a foreign language because it helps you connect with more people. As it is,
today we do not belong to a big planet Earth; we belong to a small global village and to survive in this

4. What is the best way to memorize new words?
The best way is to start using them in daily life so that they become part of your natural spoken
English.
5. Is it better to learn a new word from translation or by definition?
I think both ways are equally good. Sometimes some words are learnt best by translation and some
by definition.
6. Why don’t some people know the language of the society they live in?
This is perhaps because they live in their own shell and don’t intermingle with those people.
7. What do you think of children learning a foreign language?
I think children should learn a foreign language. It is very easy for children to learn a foreign language
as they are very receptive and they are not hesitant about making mistakes. They also have a benefit
of not knowing any other language too well, to make comparisons and assumptions about the difficulty
of language learning. In this era of globalization, knowledge of a foreign language is very beneficial
for a better career and a brighter future. It opens more avenues for the students for higher education
and good jobs.
8. Why are some language classes boring?
Some language classes are boring because of the teaching methods used. If there no interactive and
fun activities involved in teaching a language and only textbook teaching methods are followed,
students become bored easily. Incorporating technology in classrooms, keeps the students interested
in learning and they learn it easily. For example, there should be audio-visual means used.
9. Some students hate to learn foreign languages, what can teachers do to develop their interest?
Some students hate to learn a foreign language mainly due to lack of interest and uninteresting
teaching methods used. Teachers play an important in developing students’ interest. Interactive and
fun activities should be included to keep the children involved and interested in learning. If students
are taught only from text books and there is a pressure of examination, it leads to students becoming
bored or disliking language classes. Teachers should also use contexts and examples to which the
students can relate in their day-to-day life. If they understand how the language can help and benefit
them, students would be motivated to learn that language.
10. Some people travel for learning a foreign language, what do you think?
I think that traveling is a very good way to learn a foreign language. It is true that the more we use a
language, the better we get at it. So, if travel to a county/region where that language is used, we will
interact more with the local people in that language and learn its nuances better. Also, language is
related to the culture. If we travel, we learn more about the culture and can learn the language better.
11. What’s the best way to learn a foreign language?
I think the best way to learn a foreign language in a classroom environment, from a teacher who has
in-depth knowledge of that language. The teacher should preferably be a native speaker of that
language or should have a high proficiency level in that language. It is very important to incorporate
technology and audio-visual methods to teach that language. Also, travelling to that country/region
where the language is spoken is also a good way to learn it. These days learning a language through
videos and online classes has become very popular, as the students get a chance to interact with the
teachers and also with native speakers of that language, through the internet. There are many apps

also available, which can be downloaded on smartphones, which help learning a foreign language in
a fun and interactive way. For example, the Duolingo app.
12. Why can some people learn languages fast white others learn slowly?
Some people learn language faster than some others because of the teaching methods used to teach
them. Interacting more with the native speakers also helps with learning a language better and faster.
Also, there may be a motivating factor, like a job that requires them to learn that language, which
makes people learn a language faster than others, who don’t have any motivation behind learning a
language.
13. Does one’s age affect their language learning?
Yes, I think age affects language learning. I thing the learning curve goes down with increasing age.
Also, at an older age, people try and compare the new language they are learning with the language
they already know. That may cause a hindrance in the learning of a language. People also become
more hesitant about making mistakes and feel more embarrassed, at a later age, as compared to
young learners.
Advantages for children to learn languages – Why it is good to learn languages at younger age
1. When children learn multiple languages at a younger age, they develop a lifelong love of
communicating with others.
2. It is much easier to learn foreign language when young. At a later age it becomes harder to
become fluent
3. Learning a foreign language helps a child’s mind develop. Such children do better in other
subjects. It helps their intellect to develop more
4. Learning a foreign language helps children to expand their knowledge of the world. They want
to know about other people and other countries. They would want to understand them instead
of being afraid of them.
Advantages for the adult learner of a foreign language
He has his own language to compare with the second language. So new terms or concepts are easily
understood.
They have a strong motivation to learn a new language especially if it is connected to an employment
opportunity.
Most adult learners have participated in study earlier, so they know what method of learning works
best for them.

5.What kind of chatting app or software do Indian people like to use?
Indian people like to use chatting apps like, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Hike, V-chat, Viber, etc.
212. POLITENESS
1. Who teaches you to be polite?
Our parents, teachers, relatives, friends and other acquaintances, teach us politeness. We also
learn about the importance of politeness from stories we read and movies we watch.
2. How do Indian people show politeness?
Indian people show politeness in their actions, like talking softly, spending time with the elderly,
helping people, greeting others with a smile and many other such small gestures reflect
politeness.
3. Has the way people show politeness changed in India?
Yes, I think with the advancement in technology, the way we show politeness has changed. With
the advent of the internet and social networking, it is very important to show respect to others in
the way we write messages or emails, so as to not offend others. For example, when chatting
with someone, it is not acceptable to type in capital letters. It is considered rude and impolite.
4. Are you angry with people who are late?
Yes, definitely I am angry with people who are late. I am very punctual myself and I feel irritated
when somebody keeps me waiting.
5. Do you think that people have less free time today than in the past? Why?
Yes, I do feel that people have less free time today than in the past. Today, people have become
workaholics. They run after money and in doing so they work longer hours. Moreover, today we
belong to a materialistic society and to buy the luxuries we have to work more. In earlier times, life
was slower and the needs of people were limited. So people had a lot of free time.
6. Do you think that the quality of living is increasing? How?
I feel that the quality of life has increased in many ways and in many ways it has gone down. People
today enjoy greater comforts and have more money to enjoy life but on the other hand we face
many problems today such as pollution and global warming which make the quality of life bad.
7. Today people use machinery to automate everything, is it good or bad?
It is both – good as well as bad. In many ways it is good. We have more time because of machines.
We get good quality things because machines make uniform things. We do mass production

because of automation and this boosts our economy as we can export things to other countries
when we produce them in bulk.
On the other hand, many people have lost jobs because of automation. So, unemployment occurs
and this leads to many other problems in society. Machines can also not give a personal touch to
things.
8. How does modern technology help to save time?
Modern technology has touched all aspects of life. In transport industry we have much faster means
of travel. In communication, technology has given us tools to connect to others at the click of a
mouse. In the homes, we have washing machines and microwave ovens, which save our time.
9. Do you agree that people should let machinery do everything?
I do not agree that machines should do everything. In that way we shall become slaves of our own
creation. We should know when, where and how much we have to use machines. We should know
where to draw the line. When we need mass production, we should take the help of machines. In
doing repetitive and boring work we can let the machines take over. But where creativity is needed,
we should do with our own hands.
213. TIME MANAGEMENT
1. Are you ever late for anything?
No, I am a very punctual person. I value time and am never late for anything, unless it is due to
some unavoidable and unforeseen circumstances.
2. What excuses do you use when you are late?
I am usually not late for any meetings or appointments. However, if at all I am getting late due to an
unavoidable circumstance, then I inform the person I am meeting, beforehand. I don’t make excuses.
3. What excuses do people have when they are late?
People give excuses like car or bike breakdown or that they were stuck in traffic, when they are
late

Yes, I am good at organizing time. I set up reminders for important events and meetings. I am never
late for an appointment.

I sometimes set up reminders for important events or meetings, sometimes I make lists of tasks to
complete, sometimes I set deadlines for myself, especially when working on an important
assignment/project.

Yes, planning is essential for good time management. If we don’t plan ahead, we will tend to waste
time doing tasks/things which are unimportant or unnecessary.

7. Why do you think some people pay to learn time management?
Time management has become very important in today’s fast-paced world. Some people pay to
take courses on time management so that they can succeed and excel at their work. Some people
are not very good at organizing and managing time, so they need to take up courses on managing
time well.
8. Do you think children should learn to manage time?
Yes, definitely. We live in a fast paced world and children too need to manage their time well, so
that they can deal with the competition and do well at their studies and later, at their jobs.
9. Why do some people find it hard to follow their plans?
Some people find it hard to follow their plans because of other pressing commitments, like family
commitments. Some people maybe too lazy to follow their plans.
10. 10.How would you teach your children time management?
Time management can be taught to children by helping them make a timetable and ensuring that
they follow it. Also, children can learn easily from stories or movies, which teach them a lesson
about the importance of time and managing it well. The parents are role models for children and
they should set a good example for their children.
11. 11.Do old people and young people manage time in a similar way?
No, old and young people do not manage their time the same way. Old people have more life
experience and they understand the importance of time management better than the young
generation. The young people may be too impulsive or impatient and may not understand the
importance of planning ahead. Another difference is the way the younger generation manages
time. They make more use of technology and the old people may use the traditional methods,
like a timetable or writing down a list of tasks.

your hometown?
It rains the most in my hometown in the monsoon season, that is in the months from June to
August.

India?
India has a varied terrain. In many parts of India, it mostly rains in the monsoon season. However,
it also depends on the geographical location as it affects the rainfall in many regions.
5. Would you prefer to have, more rain or less rain (in your hometown)?
I would prefer to have more rain in my hometown. In the last few years, there has been a drastic
change in the seasons and the summers get very hot. If there is more rainfall in the summers, there
will be respite from the heat.
6. Do you like rainy days? OR How do you feel on rainy days? ORDo you feel sad on rainy days?
I like rainy days in the summer season because the temperatures drop and we get respite from the
summer heat. In winters I am not too happy when it rains, as it becomes very cold after it rains.
7. How does rain affect different people’s moods? OR How does rain affect people's lives?
I think rains affect people’s moods when it restricts their activities or leads to a loss in the work or
business. Some people feel happy when it rains as the weather becomes pleasant and people can
enjoy hot beverages and fried snacks.

I prefer rainy days in the summers and sunny days in the winter season. Rains give us respite from
the heat in the summers and we can enjoy sitting out in the sun on a cold winter day.

I enjoy hot beverages, like coffee and fried snacks like fritters and samosas on rainy days. It gives
us an opportunity to stay at home with family and spend quality time with them.

If it rains when I am outside, I usually look for a café or a place where I can sit and enjoy coffee
and some snacks.
11. Do you think rain is good? (Why?)
Yes, I think rains are good. Rains are important to maintain the ecosystem’s balance. Rains help
with maintaining the groundwater levels. They make the dust settle down and help clean the
environment. For agriculture-based economies, rains during the rainy season are very important
for a good crop.
12. How does rain affect (life in) your country?
Agriculture is a major part of India’s economy and that is largely dependent on timely rains. So a
lot of farmers depend on a good monsoon season for a good crop. Unseasonal rains can have an
adverse affect on agriculture, as it can destroy crops. In places where there is water shortage,
people depend on rains and save rain water in reservoirs.

India is a diverse country with different climates in different parts. There are many parts in the east

Rajasthan, there is very little rain. Sometimes some states experience droughts because of no
rainfall for a very long period of time.
14. What effects can a shortage of rain (a drought) have on people's lives?
Droughts/Shortage of rain can have adverse effects on the livelihoods of many people, especially

year in India and all over the world because of droughts.
15. Can you remember any time when it rained particularly heavily in your hometown?
(When?)
Yes, I remember that during my childhood it used to rain continuously for days and the roads
and parks got filled with water. We used to enjoy a lot playing in the rain and in the pools of
water. This used to happen during the monsoon season. Now the amount of rainfall has
reduced drastically due to climate change.
16. Does rain ever affect transportation in your hometown? (How?)
Yes, sometimes the rain affects the transportation. It is mostly on some roads where the
drainage system is not good or when it is blocked. At such times the water logging happens
on the roads and the movement of traffic is affected.
17. Do you think the seasons have changed in recent years, compared to the past? (Why?
How?)
Yes, I think seasons have changed in the recent years because of global warming and the
consequent climate change. The summers last longer and the winters are shorter. Also, the

rains during the monsoon season.
