SAMPLE ANSWER
IELTS Speaking Test
I don’t know many foreigners as I live in a small village and I have never visited another country. However, recently I came to know about a foreigner on the internet. Nowadays, many people post their travel videos on Youtube. I also love travelling, so I watch these channels sometimes. One of these channels is of a foreigner, Chris Steven. His channel grabbed my attention, as he converses in fluent Hindi.
He is an American and was born and brought up in America. However, the way he speaks Hindi, it seems like he was raised in India. He visits India often, because he is very interested in Indian culture. As I watched his channel more and more, I came to know how he developed an interest in Indian culture and Hindi. One of his neighbours during his childhood years was Indian and he introduced Chris to Bollywood movies.

That’s how it all started for him. Initially, his neighbour used to translate and help him understand the movies. However, slowly he started watching these movies on his own. He picked up a little bit of Hindi by watching these movies His love for Bollywood also made him more curious about Indian culture.
Eventually, he learnt Hindi, by taking it as an optional course during College. And his visits to India, polished his Hindi even more. I know many of us Indians love to learn about Western culture. So, it’s always nice to see a foreigner wanting to learn about Indian culture for a change.

What foreign languages do Indian children learn?
Indian children have many options nowadays. The most common is certainly English. Besides English, children also learn foreign languages like German, French, Urdu and Spanish.
Why do Indian children learn English?
There are many reasons. Firstly, it provides more opportunities than any other language in terms of foreign education and job opportunities. Also, it is easier to find English teachers as compared to teachers for German, French or Spanish. Finally and most importantly, it is the main medium of teaching in colleges and universities so it is a compulsion to learn English.

Why are so many people learning English?
For most people, I think it is about job opportunities. Today, there are many multinational companies in India and learning English is a must to get jobs in these companies.
How can you help children learn English?
I don’t know. I don’t think my English is good enough to help others. As you can see, I still make some mistakes. However, I can recommend some books like Wren & Martin and Youtube Channels, which can help one to become better in English.
Do you think the way people learn English today is the same as in the past?
I think some of the ways are the same. I learnt English as a child in my school and many children still learn it at school. However, today there are also more opportunities. For example, there are YouTube Channels which were not available in the past. Moreover, today, there are many streaming sites, which offer an opportunity to learn English while enjoying TV shows and movies.
