Part 1
Television
How often do you watch television? Why /Why not?
I watch TV almost every single day around 2 hours; in weekends I have enough free time to watch movies and viral headlines of the week. On Saturdays and Sundays I watch television more than 7 hours. There are many good programs I get to watch on holidays.
Which Television channel do you usually watch? Why?
There are plenty of channels that I am keen on watching. Most I watch News and Current Affairs related channels which keep me updated about the world and issues that matter. My favorite Channel is NDTV India , This channel is known to bring unbiased news and ground reports without giving any hype. The channel voices the opinion of young people who are deprived of jobs and fundamental rights.
Do you enjoy the advertisements on television? Why/Why not?
Well , it depends on the motto and content that any advertisement carries. I often see many film starts promoting various brands of wines and alcohols I don’t enjoy them. There are some meaningful advertisements carry a message and promotion. I really appreciate such advertisement.
Do you think most programmes on television are good? Why/Why not?
Television censorship is not working responsibly. There are many programs that promote superstition and crime against women. There are some programs based on myth where female portrayed as bad character. I think there must be regulation on such programs. I love watching many programs which entrain and inform us.

How often this person visited your family and explain why you remember this person.
Model Answer :-
I come from an open minded and educated family and we share close bond with many people. here I would like talk about Mr. Balwant Singh, He belongs to Sikh community and has been our family friend for a long time. I call him Balu Uncle, He works with my father in agriculture ministry of my province.
He was the one who has also been there in our thick and thin and played a role of great friend. Both families have been through ups and down but the friendship remained intact. When my father was transferred to the city where we are at present is the hometown of Balwant uncle. He arranged all the facilities for our family and helped us to settle down in the city. He never lets us feel that we are away from our hometown.
Since my father knew him, we celebrated all the functions and festivals together . The functions and festivals are incomplete without is involvement. He is highly educated and his words work magic. We often go this home and enjoy with his family. I would say that Balu Uncle is a great human being on the earth with a magnanimous heart.
Once I was rusticated from the college because of my bad behavior with fellow students. My father was worried about my future and career , Balwant uncle went to my college and convinced the management of the college to give me one chance. There are many moments when he played a crucial role to support my family.
He has been loyal and guide to us without his guidance and suggestions we could have found lot of difficulties when we were new to the city. My family looks incomplete without Balwant Uncle. He is an integral part of us.

What do you think makes someone a good friend to a whole family?
Loyalty, good communication and sense of humor are pre requisite virtues to be a good friend to whole family. The person, who is loyal, wins the trust of the family and come closer. Better communication helps the person who says things which are difficult to talk and who does not want a person who can brings smiles on the face and burst into laughter. We never want anybody who is dull and uninterested. There are many things that come into play when we choose a friend and share our live with him.
Do you think we meet different kinds of friend at different stages of our lives? In what ways are these types of friend different?
It is quite true that we make friends according to the age or stage of life. it is sure that we cannot go without friends. In school days we have friends who are of our age. The friends we have in schools, remain in our minds for a long time, they play very crucial rule. This is one of the best stages of the life that teach some great lessons. When we are at work, we have friends who are professionals and expert at something.

Making friends depends on nature and some virtues if one possesses virtues such as sense of humor , good communication skills , loyalty and down to earth can make friend with any age group. The person who has the skills and virtues is appreciated and people like to spend time with him. We never want a person in our company who is not loyal and amiable. I have seen some young people share a very intact bond of friendship with senior citizens it’s because of nature and virtues. I get along very well with children I make friend with them easily. In short it is about the quality of your communication and natural behavior.
Influence of Friends
Example Questions
Do you think it is possible to be friends with someone if you never meet them in person? is this real friendship?
I would say the people have friends who they have never met and still share intact bond of friendship. Social media platforms and information technology has made communication very easy and vibrant. I have some friend who I meet virtually. It is a strange experience. In my opinion, judging the relationship is not our job we must go with friendship and its ups and downs. Meeting friend in person is authentic and genuine we can get know a lot about each other. Virtually it is not easy. So this point makes it unrealistic and in-genuine.
What kind of influence can friends have on our lives?
As it is said to know about a person , know the company he keeps. Friends influence to great extant. We also consider and value the opinion of our friend who we trust. Most of the times we choose our education, career and relationship by considering the views of our friends. There are some friend who don’t want to depart , they choose same educational institutes and careers as well . we even imitate the hobbies and virtues from each other. I would say that friends impact our lives very largely.
How important would you say it is to have friends from different countries?
Having friends from different countries is amazing. When we have friends from other countries we have lot to learn from them. It expands our understanding and help us become a better human being. we get to learn about new languages , cultures and backgrounds this can help us understand the world better and teach us some important life lessons. I have some friends from different countries and backgrounds. Whenever we discuss something we have many views about it. This develops my understand and gave an idea to see the thing differently.
