My name us Sunil jagtap.

Of course, here is my ID card.

I am working at the moment.
What do you do for a job?
I am working as an accountant at a school here.
Do you like your job? Why?
Yes, I do because it is very interesting, and I learn a lot of new things from my seniors in the staff and sometimes from the teachers, too. Moreover, I happen to talk to children there every day, which is very joyful as I love children.
Where do you like to go to buy flowers?
There are a multitude of places for buying flowers. They could be gas stations, roadside stalls, grocery stores as well as the usual florists. Depending upon the occasion or event, I choose the vendor, and to some extent I’ll also consider for who (m) I’m buying them.
On what occasions would you give someone flowers?
In the context of India, flowers are generally presented on the special occasions. I give a bouquet of flowers to my parents on their marriage anniversary every year. I would also buy flowers for my girlfriend on our anniversary or on her birthday.
Are flowers important in your culture?
They were not so significant in the past but I feel that it has become a kind of a custom these days in my country. Personally, I had better gift something meaningful to the people. That makes sense because flowers will wither soon.

SAMPLE ANSWER
Thank you for this great topic. It was a time when I had just completed high school. So naturally, it was time for me to decide in which direction I should pursue my file. So I went to my father for his advice as he, in my opinion, could really help me out.
My father does not rush about anything. So we started the conversation at a slow pace and he knew I was up to something important. We talked about many options, like “business studies” if I would want to do any corporate or bank job. If I would want to be a teacher, then I should go for art, history, geography, even social studies. To be a doctor I should study medical science at a medical college in my country. We talked over all these matters for over a week and after that, I decided to go for the medical college.
I was very glad to have this conversation with my father, or should I say a few conversations different times in a week, because it was not an easy decision for me to make. This goal requires a lot of hard work and determination. I have to pass the medical college entrance examination which is not an easy admission test at all. Only the most brilliant students with great academic results usually pass the tests. Not only that, after passing the entrance examination, I have to leave my homely environment and have to stay in the medical college’s dormitory which was a big step for me.
After I got admission to one of the medical colleges, all my hard work was paid off. At that time I felt so blessed that I had that conversation with my dad and he advised me the best. His words provided me with the direction which I needed for my life at that time. In fact, the conversation helped me realize the fact that to live a quality of life, we should have a successful career and doctors enjoy one of the best and most respected careers in my country.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
What kind of events may be life-changing events?
Like I said, breaking up or ending a relationship would be one. Having an accident or hurting yourself when playing sports sure is life changing. Winning the lottery is another life changing event. Getting married will change your life, too.
Do Indian people change jobs very often? Do you think that’s good?
Yes, I think that Indian does change their jobs pretty often, and I think that it is a good thing. Until you really find a job that you feel comfortable with, then I think it is okay to change jobs. Some Indians and people around the world have to change jobs because they get laid off or their company gets gobbled up by some big corporation, and they are forced to leave.
How do you think employers could encourage employees not to change jobs?
Of course they could give a lot of money, but I know that this is not always practical. I think that one thing that would really help people stay in a job is that they are shown some appreciation for what they do. I read that a lack of appreciation is one reason that people go from job to job and just can’t seem to find a home. I think if employers would just listen to their employees about their need that would be a big help, too.
