SAMPLE ANSWER
India has a rich culture and history. There are so many places and things in my country, I would like to know more about. One remarkable ceremony in my country, India that has always captured my interest is “The Retreat” at Wagah Border in Atari. I first came to know about The Retreat at Wagah Border through my friends who had visited the region.
IELTS Speaking Test
Wagah Border of India is a boundary separating India from its neighbour Pakistan. And every evening, at sunset, a flag ceremony is held here, following which the gates are closed for the day. This Wagah Border Retreat ceremony is no less spellbinding than a theatrical play. Soldiers march in sync and bring down the national flag ritualistically.
The marching of the soldiers creates a sense of national pride and unity among the spectators. Before the event, women and kids dance to patriotic songs, increasing the energy among the spectators. Thousands of people, including foreign nationals, line up at Wagah Border Attari to watch the show. It’s a show of national pride, and also a source of entertainment for everyone. My interest in The Retreat is driven by its historical significance and the unique nature of the Beating Retreat ceremony.
IELTS Speaking Test
While I’ve seen glimpses of the Beating Retreat ceremony through the videos my friends captured, I am eager to witness it in person. Yes, I would absolutely love to know more about the history behind The Retreat, and its impact on fostering goodwill between India and Pakistan.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do people have different personalities in different regions of your country?
Well, the answer would be yes because the culture and traditions are distinct which means persons’ personalities are also different. For example, men in Punjab mostly wear Kurta Pajamas, on the other hand lungi in the southern parts and both are traditional attires of India.
IELTS Speaking Test
What causes the differences between different regions of your country?
There are umpteen causes which make the regions of my country different from each other like the historical and religious buildings, the literacy and employment rates, rivers, oceans, mountains, deserts, climate and so on. I think it is the uniqueness of my country.
Is it just youngsters who like to try new things, or do people of your parents’ age also like to try new things?
Well, trying new things does not depend on age, it is the matter of interest and enjoyment. Both like to take part in new activities, such as bungee jumping, paragliding and so on. Last month, when I visited Manali for rafting, I was amazed to see that the number of elderly people was almost equal to youngsters who did river rafting.
IELTS Speaking Test
Is a great tourist destination also a good place to live?
I believe it is not a wise idea to live in a great tourist destination due to overcrowding, noise pollution, traffic and garbage. When the number of tourists increases, it becomes difficult for authorities to manage the place properly. Also, inhabitants mostly in these areas depend on tourism, and what if the tourism gets finished, they can become jobless. For example, during COVID-19, it happened.
