Part-1
Food
and Cooking
What
sorts of food do you like eating most? Why?
I
am not fastidious about eating. I eat to live a healthy and balanced life.
Usually I opt to consume traditional food easily available at my home. I think
I must tell that today traditions meals are prepared with the help of modern
recopies. I enjoy having vegetarian and non-vegetarian food like, pulses, rice,
salad, loaf, fish, and chicken so on.
Who
normally does the cooking in your house? Why? Why not?
Frankly
speaking women are assigned to cooking and men are to work and bring grocery. I
have grown up watching my grandmother and mother preparing 3 times food for us.
When it comes to commercial cooking men excel there. They work in big
restaurants and self run eateries. The food prepared by my mother is so
delicious and full of hygiene. It is believed that food made by women is so
delicious.
Do
you watch cookery programs on TV? Why? Why not?
To
be true to myself, I am not inclined to learning to cook food. I have never
tried cooking anything so for. Sometimes I do watch cookery shows on TV and
YouTube. Mr. Sanjeev Kapoor is one of the famous cooks. His recopies are easy
to follow and avail. He teaches domestic and commercial cooking to enhance the
taste and generate the revenue.
In
general, do you prefer eating out or at home? Why?
I
come from rural area and people out here don’t prefer eating out. It is believe
that the food prepared out is not healthy and hygienic. It may cause
your illness and sickness. We are, since childhood preached not to eat out. We
enjoy food prepared at homes. I sometimes go to city and try fast food there.

Model
answer:
India
is one of the most populated countries, stands on the 2nd position.
It is sometimes difficult to find a perfect place to put up. People here my
country reside in rural, urban and semi-urban areas. People here mostly live in
their own housed built in traditional and modern ways. Modern houses are very
popular among city people. Apartments are now becoming first choice for the
people who live in the cities. It is undeniable that apartments cater to the
need of large folks reside in metro cities. Here I would like to talk about an
apartment owned by my uncle in our hometown, which is about 30 kilometers away
from my residence. I live in a small village of Northern Province of my
country. The apartment is guilt under The Sun City project run and managed by
The Real Estate Gain DLF. The apartment is located in the heart of my home
town. It is an ideal location to live in. it is well equipped with modern
facilities, electronic equipments, modern day bathroom, well furnished kitchen,
balcony and a small lot of the park. I firstly found it good when I went on
comparing with other houses I did not find it worth to live. It is constructed
as if there were lack of space. I felt that I am in a closed place.
Less spacious bedrooms Kitchen and bathroom are that really annoying. It looks
beautiful from outside view. I consider that it was not built with proper
planning. There are some flaws in the structure of this building. On the other
hand traditions houses are spacious. People have their own choice to get
anything fixed in their own ways. Apartments don’t offer such choices. If I
have a choice to live there, I think I am not gonna live there.
Part-3
Discussion
Topic
Different
types of home
Example
Questions:
What
kinds of home are most popular in your country? Why is this?
Gone
are the days when mostly people would live in their large parental houses which
used to be sufficient for joint family. Today families are becoming nuclear;
they prefer to live separately in modern houses which are for 3-4 four members.
People are not reluctant to live in traditional houses, inclined to build
modern days houses with costly equipments. Earlier houses were a place to have
a roof over head. Today houses are symbol of status and life style.
What
do you think are the advantages of living in a house rather than an apartment?
Living
in apartment may cause certain issues, like insufficient space, no access to
sunshine during the winter and shadow in the summer. Apartments are not built
according to the builders. Houses are personalized, can be planned as we want.
We can put things in order and change them too. This facility is not rendered
in apartments. We can bask in the sun and have part in our houses.
Do
you think that everyone would like to live in a larger home? Why is that?
Houses
are more than a place living space where we spend our life. People
do desire to have big houses. There is no denying the fact that there are 3-4
members in a family and a small house can cater to their needs. But they want a
big house. Because they are instigated by movies, advertisements and life style
of celebrities. People from sound economic background own spacious and
beautiful houses. So people want to follow them. This motivation leads them to
build or buy larger houses at present.
Finding
a place to live:
Example
Questions:
How
easy is it to find a place to live in your country?
In
rural areas it is not difficult to find a place to reside. Because there is lot
of space available in reasonable amount of money. But in countryside it may be
annoying not to find up-to-dated facilities. In urban areas you can find
perfect place to live with modern facilities but the price are too high even
well earning family knock the door of the bank to sanction a home loan. It may
be irritating to pay installments every month. If you miss any installment it
may lead to fine and high interest rates.
Do
you think it is better to rent or to buy a place to live in? Why?
Owning
a house is very crucial. It is a dream of every human being to have his or her
own house where he or she can live with family. It keeps you stress free and
comfortable if you have your own house. A rented house is not something that
can allow you be happy. Paying rent may imbalance your budget and lead you to
work overtime. There is not security living in rented house. You cannot make
any changes there. Residing in rented house is a compulsion for most of the
people around the world.
Do
you agree that there is a right age for young adults to stop living with their
parents? What is that?
Well,
I am double minded about the question, we the citizens of India love to live
with our parents, we never imagine living separately. There are some purposes
living studying, working and having anything special or serious may make up our
mind to stop living with our parents. There are some societies in
western countries where adults opt to leave their parents at certain age. I
believe that we must live with our parents. Their experience of life can help
use live a better and happy life.
