IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Bhupinder Kuamar.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
Do you like to watch the sky?
Yes, I have to say I am a fan of watching the sky. To me, the sky is a magnificent work of art, and I appreciate the aesthetic qualities of it. The colour of the clouds are so beautiful.
What is the sky like at night in your hometown?
The night sky where I live is simply a breathtaking view. As I live in the countryside, the sky is not affected by light pollution, so there are numerous shining stars in a broad blackish background. Therefore, the view is perfect for anyone who has a thirst for freedom.
Do you like to watch stars?
I find star-watching extremely interesting. I believe that every star in the cosmos has its function and holds a unique mystery to be discovered. This is a great inspiration to me.
Have you ever taken a course about stars?
I haven’t ever enrolled in such courses, but I would love to in the future. I have always wanted to know how constellations retain their shape in zero gravity without floating through space.
What do you think makes good friends?
Well, there are some specific attributes that make good friends. To me, a good friend should be dependable and sincere who is always willing to do stupid things with you and give you a lot of motivation to overcome fierce times. I usually don’t get on well with over-sensitive or complicated people.
Do you keep in contact with friends from your childhood?
To be honest, I don’t stay in touch with a lot of my childhood friends. I’m quite an introvert and somehow prudent in relationships, so I just talk to one old friend, Phuong Chau, in whom I can confide. We have known each other since primary school and maintained this special bond till now.
What kinds of people do you like to make friends with?
I like people who are honest with themselves and others and not pretentious. Besides, I’m also attracted to those who share a good rapport with everyone but at the same time don’t get afraid to take a stand, who handle stressful situations with humor, who have self-respect but no ego and are willing to explore the world around them.
Do you think you are a good friend to others?
Well, I hope so. From my perspective, good friends are especially important during times of crisis and turbulence. When my friends go through a hard time, they never fail to cheer me up and help sail me through both emotional and academic setbacks.
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a performance you watched recently
You should say:
– What it was and when you watched it
– Who you were with?
– And explain why you watched it
Well, when it comes to watching live performances or music shows, the very experience that springs to my mind is the play ‘Romeo & Juliet’ by William Shakespeare that I enjoyed at the city theatre three years ago. Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare. The setting is in Italy and is about the love between two young people from noble families that are enemies. “Romeo and Juliet” has always been one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays. It has also been adapted to opera, ballet, television productions, and movies.
I watched this play with my closest friend, Jennie. At that time, we were studying for a Masters Degree in London in the same university, and when we heard that a team would come to London to perform “Romeo and Juliet”, we planned to watch it without hesitation. It was quite cumbersome to book the tickets as the play was so popular, but we managed eventually.
Several factors made this play a worth-watching theatrical performance. The professional acting, captivating dialogues, intense romantic tale, wrenching separation and the tragic twist of the tale made the play unforgettable. The costumes of the performers were just the way they should be. Their dresses, stage, music, their makeup, their accent, and the passionate acting created the illusion of the real Romeo-Juliet era. The production and acting were superb and worthy of commendation. I still remember a news article which acclaimed the actors, and actresses of the London team for their professionalism.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
What’s the difference between watching the performance live and watching it on TV?
In my opinion, attending a live performance and watching a TV broadcast are two completely different ways of fun. As we all know; live exhibitions and events are festive occasions. Think about the claps, cheers, hoots, hollering, laughter and song along with a live performance which is absent when watched on a TV set. It creates a recreational aura whereby people forget the hurdles of life and upheave their morals. In other words, these occasions are best suited for extroverts, social people, who enjoy the crowd.
Which do you prefer: traditional performance or concert?
Well, a concert would be my choice. Seeing your favourite band, artist or DJ is such a life-changing and exhilarating experience. If you’ve ever been to a concert, you’ll know the sense of togetherness you get from the rest of the crowd. Out of a huge crowd, every single fan is there for the same reason, and when the crowd erupts for the artist or a favourite song, it’s a sense of community you won’t get anywhere else.
Should the government provide financial support to promote traditional performance?
Yes, I reckon so. The gradual decline of traditional performances is at the expense of national culture. Therefore, the government should give financial incentives to traditional artists to preserve the diversity of traditional forms of entertainment.
