Now, have a look at the card and prepare a monologue.
Describe a band you enjoy listening to. You should say:

โ€ข How did you find them
โ€ข What kind of music do they play
โ€ข When do you listen to them
And say why you like them so much

I really enjoy listening to Maroon 5... I found this music band a few years ago, when I was looking for some pop musicon the Internet... And, immediately after listening to the few of their songs, I fell in love with this awesome band... Their music is very catchy and tuneful at the same time. I especially like this band for their driving rhythms... As of today, I have gone to a few of their concerts and have their posters all over my wall. I listen to their songs when I'm upset or stressed out... They always cheer me up... Also, one of their songs, namely "Payphone", is set as a ringtone on my phone.

Do you think music is getting better as time goes on?

No, quite the opposite. In my opinion, music was a lot better back in the day... I love music from 60s and 70s... There are myriads of famous rock bands of that time that I really like... And nowadays almost every pop-song sounds boring and dull to me...

Where do you think people enjoy listening to music the most?

I my point of view, it all depends on a person... As for me, I enjoy listening to the music in my room, where nobody can bother me... But a lot of my friends would prefer listening to the music while travelling in public transport... This way their journey becomes more pleasant.

Is it better to go to a live concert or to listen to a CD?

I think that nothing compares to a live concert! It's just magical to be on a concert in a large group of people like you, listening to the songs you know being played right in front of youโ€ฆ It's empowering, and completely unlike listening to recorded music.

Do you like the same music as your parents?

Um... When I was a child I used to listen to the same music as my parents didโ€ฆ Probably, that was because we were often driving in the same car โ€ฆ and my parents always turned on some jazz on the radio. So I thought I was fond of jazzโ€ฆ But eventually I discovered other music genres and understood that I like rock music and techno much moreโ€ฆ

Do you have a lot of friends?

Not a lot, but I have a few very close friends โ€ฆ I think it is better to have one reliable friend that a thousand fair-weather friends... Although it's not easy to meet someone you have a lot in common with, I think managed to do it.

How often do you see your friends?

As often as I can... We enjoy each other's company, so we see each other almost daily... What's more, we live very close to each other, so it's easy for us to meet up.

Is there anything special about your friends?

Oh, that's an interesting question... I guess there are lot of things... For instance, my best friend can draw unbelievable art, good enough to sell. And my other friend is really keen on cooking... But most importantly, they are people, who are near and dear to my heart.

For how long do you know them?

Iโ€™ve known my friends since my childhoodโ€ฆ We've been through thick and thin togetherโ€ฆ Probably that's why we're so close now.

and say what do you like about your friend the most

I would like to talk about my friend William... I wouldn't say he's my best friend, but I would rather call him as a good friend of mine... I met him last year at local sports centre. It turned out that we were studying at the same college... Then, miraculously, I got into the same class with him and we got on like a house on fire... He's the sweetest person I've ever met! He's smart, helpful, caring, funny and somehow good-looking... And most importantly, we have a lot in common and he understands me as nobody else does.

Do you think friendship is important nowadays?

Yes, certainly! Without my friends Iโ€™d be very sad and lonely, but they cheer me up and help in every way possibleโ€ฆ Of course, all relationships have their ups and downs, but we should definitely try not to lose touch with our friends.

What do you think is the best time to get new friends?

Hmm... Probably, the best time to get new friends is your school and university years. You have many possibilities to get in touch with different peopleโ€ฆ And it is easier to find friends with similar interests...

Is it important to stay in touch with your friends throughout the years?

Yes, it very important not to lose touch with your friendsโ€ฆ Surely, everyone changes and even close friends can drift apart. But, in my opinion, friends are your second family and we should highly appreciate them.

Do you enjoy reading?

Yes, absolutely! A great way to relax to learn something new is to peruse a book... I'm so addicted to reading that sometimes I can't even fall asleep without an hour of bedtime reading.

Do you like watching movies?

No, not really... If I have some free time, I'd rather read an interesting book... Books leave us a lot of space for imagination, while in movies everything is spelled out for us... That's why I find films boring.

What is the last book you read? And did you like it?

The last book I've read is "Theatre" written by William Somerset Maugham ... and I absolutely enjoyed it! Maugham is my favourite writer of all time and I've read his novel from cover to cover in 2 days... I was truly captivated by the characters and the unravelling of the plot.

How often do you go to the cinema with your friends?

Quite often, to be honest... I like catching the latest movies with my friends, so we go to the cinema almost every week. I especially like action movies and sci-fi films.

Now, have a look at the card and prepare a monologue.
Describe a book or a film that had a strong impact on you. You should say:

โ€ข What was it
โ€ข When you read or saw it
โ€ข How it influenced you
And say if you liked it and why.

A book that I'd like to talk about is called "Flowers for Algernon" written by Daniel Keyes. You won't believe, but I picked up this novel from a shelf in a bookstore because it had a beautiful cover! Although a proverb says "don't judge a book by its cover", I did exactly the opposite... and the book turned out to be one of the greatest things I've ever read... In fact, this novel is very intense and thought-provoking... It is set in form of diary entries of the protagonist - mentally-disabled man Charlie, whose IQ changes after brain surgery... It drastically changed the way I looked at how intelligence influences people's attitude to others and to the world in general. Also, I had to overthink how many boundaries does new knowledge open and how mentally disabled people are treated in the society... In general, the book was somewhat tear-jerking for me, but I still highly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and inspirational read.

Why do you think cinemas are still popular nowadays, even though people can watch movies in their homes?

I believe that there are several reasons for it... First of all, watching a film on a big screen is a lot more fun than watching it at home... Not to mention the fact that you won't be able to see the movie on the DVD as soon as in the movie theater... You'll have to wait a couple of months for the DVD release of the movie... Moreover, a lot of people like the atmosphere of cinema with its half-light halls, popcorn and sound effects.

What do you think about e-books?

In my opinion, a paperback or hardback books are much better... Reading a book from an e-reader just doesn't feel the same for me - I adore the sensation of turning pages and that special smell of paper. I think that the look and feel of a book can never be replaced by an e-reader... But I do understand usefulness of electronic books. It is very convenient to be able to carry hundreds of books in your pocket and have a possibility to read them at any time... Also, e-readers support keyword search, which paperbacks obviously do not.

What kinds of meals do you like?

Oh, I adore different meat platesโ€ฆ My mouth is watering whenever I see roast beef, grilled chicken or pork chopsโ€ฆ However, I donโ€™t like to cookโ€ฆ That's why I often eat ready meals and take-aways.

Do you often dinner with your family or friends?

Well, I try to dinner with my family as often as possibleโ€ฆ Unfortunately, I donโ€™t have enough time for such dinners due to my busy schedule...
When do you usually eat dinner?
I usually have main meal at about 4 p.m. โ€ฆ I'm starving hungry by then and sometimes overeat myself...

Are there any fruits or vegetables you donโ€™t like? Why?

Yes, there areโ€ฆ Iโ€™m not a fussy eater, but I really hate onions and seafoodโ€ฆ I try to avoid meals that might contain these productsโ€ฆ

And what is your favourite cuisine?

Well, I love French cuisine for its versatility and flavorful ingredients.... French cuisine has a variety of dishes, starting from their famous onion soup and ending with cheese fondue... Also, it rarely uses artificial ingredients or flavors.

I would like to talk about a nice little restaurant in a walking distance of my apartment called "La Pasta"โ€ฆ It is situated on the ancient street in the old city centre... This restaurant serves various meals of Italian cuisine that I enjoyโ€ฆ For example, they serve extremely delicious pasta, pizza and tomato soup... I particularly love their pasta... It is very versatile food, and can be made in many ways... I general, I love Italian food because it is all about fresh, flavorful ingredients... That's why I eat in that restaurant every now and then with my family and friendsโ€ฆ Although itโ€™s not cheap, its quality justifies the billโ€ฆ

How can we make people eat healthier food?

The best approach for this problem is to strike a balance between junk food and healthy foodโ€ฆ You can eat unhealthy ever so rarely, if you manage to eat nutritious products the majority of the timeโ€ฆ I eat junk food myself, by I try not to abuse my healthโ€ฆ

Do you think people enjoy what they eat on a regular?

I donโ€™t really know, but Iโ€™m leaning towards a negative answerโ€ฆ People are often lazy when chosing their mealsโ€ฆ They try to catch a snack to restrain their hungerโ€ฆ But it is neither healthy nor enjoyableโ€ฆ

Do you think that cooking is a pleasure a burden for most people?

I canโ€™t speak for everybody, but I think that cooking is more of a chore than a pleasureโ€ฆ But it really depends on a personโ€ฆ Some people might love cooking... If it is their passion or a beloved job, then it's good for themโ€ฆ But Iโ€™m not among those peopleโ€ฆ Personally, I prefer dining out.

Do you like travelling?

Yes, definitely! I think seeing the world, from great historical monuments to white sandy beaches, is what life is all about. It's a very interesting way to learn about new cultures and explore new places.

What is your favourite type of holiday?

I really like going to the countryside, getting away from it all. Nothing relaxes me as much as wilderness... I am tired of tourist traps and usually go off the beaten track...

What do you do on holidays?

I prefer visiting various museums and places of interest. For instance, on my last vacation I was to Rome and I visited 12 museums. It was fantastic! Of course, sometimes I go shopping with my friends or relatives too... But I don't find it near as exciting...

Are there many tourists visiting your country?

Probably yes... My country has different tourist attractions in many cities, especially the capital... For example, my country has old-time religious traditions... That's why we have a lot of ancient cathedrals and churches that are interesting for both tourists and local citizens...

A couple of years ago I went on a holiday to Paris with my parentsโ€ฆ it is a very popular tourist destination, since it has various places of interest, such as ancient museums and monumentsโ€ฆ That's why there are always hordes of tourists... So we decided to go out of season in the autumnโ€ฆ Fortunately, the weather was great, and we did not waste any days watching TV at the hotel... it was a memorable holiday โ€ฆ we enjoyed breathtaking views from the top of the Eiffel tower and dined in cozy little restaurants. I would certainly recommend visiting Paris, it is a picturesque city.

Why do you think tourism is so developed now?

Well, because it is a lot easier to travel nowadaysโ€ฆ you can choose charter flights and find various youth hostels all around the world, so you donโ€™t need to spend much money on the travelling. Moreover, you can book a trip via the Internet, so you don't even have to leave home.

How people choose their destination?

There are a lot of ways. For instance, you can surf the internet for all the necessary informationโ€ฆ Or you can visit different travel agencies for more advice.

What kind of transport do you prefer on holidays? Why?

It dependsโ€ฆ I usually reach my holiday destinationby plane because it is the fastest and the least dangerous way to travel. However, flying can be a bit uncomfortable... So I also travel by train from time to timeโ€ฆ But I never drive car on a vacation, because I do it every day when I work... I would have a busman's holiday otherwise.

Do you prefer travelling alone or in tour groups? Why?

I definitely prefer travelling alone because I like to plan the trip by myself... When choosing a guided tour, you should always conform to a set scheduleโ€ฆ So if you are in India and, say, you want to spend an extra hour at Taj Mahal, you simply cannot do that with a group tour... I like independent travel. That way I get to see and do exactly what I want and spend as much time as I want at various stops.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽ“What do you recommend me to do in order to improve my speaking skills in English?

๐Ÿง  To improve your English speaking skills, here are some recommendations:

Expand Your Vocabulary: Focus on learning new vocabulary related to different topics. This will give you more to talk about and help you express your ideas more clearly. You can use flashcards, apps, or lists of topic-based words.

Practice Speaking Regularly: Make speaking English a daily habit. You can do this by talking to yourself, participating in language exchange programs, or using language learning apps that offer speaking practice.

Record Yourself: Record your speaking practice and listen to the recordings. This will help you identify areas where you need improvement, such as pronunciation, fluency, and sentence structure.

Use Topic-Based Practice: Choose a topic, gather vocabulary, and then practice speaking about it. This method helps you become more confident and organized in your speech.

Imitate Native Speakers:
Watch English movies, TV shows, or listen to podcasts, and try to mimic the way native speakers talk. Focus on their pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm.

Join Speaking Clubs or Groups: Look for English-speaking clubs, groups, or online communities where you can practice speaking with others. This will give you real-life conversational experience.

Get Feedback: If possible, have someone give you feedback on your speaking. This could be a teacher, a language exchange partner, or even using AI tools that provide feedback on your speech.

Prepare for Specific Situations: If youโ€™re preparing for something specific like the IELTS, practice common speaking scenarios you might encounter. Use mock tests to get used to the format and timing.

Stay Consistent: Improvement comes with regular practice. Set aside time each day or week dedicated solely to speaking practice.
