Speaking Part Topic 1: Public Gardens and Parks 2022

 

Topic #1: Public Gardens and Parks

1. Would you like to play in a public garden or park?

I absolutely like to play in public spaces such as gardens or parks. I am an outdoorsy person and as such I indulge in quite a few outdoor activities, for example Badminton and Football.

2. What do you like to do when visiting a park?

Well..There are plenty of fun things to do in the park. I love to play Scavenger hunt with my friends. We also do Stargazing where we spread a blanket on the ground, get comfy, and look up at the cosmos.

3. How have parks changed today compared to the time when you were a kid?

Parks today have monumentally changed in contrast to 10-15 years back. They have better playground equipment for children, well-maintained walking/jogging paths and some parks even have soccer/cricket fields.

4. Would you prefer to play in a personal garden or public garden?

Honestly, I don’t have a preference between personal or public garden. Both are just fine to me! The only thing where public gardens have an upper hand is that they are open to all. Therefore, there’s more opportunity to foster social relationships with strangers.

   I definitely like buying shoes for me and my family. I often go to supermarket every month located within hailing distance to my home, and purchase some new trendy footwear for the whole family.

   2. Have you ever bought shoes online?

   Yes, I do a lot of shopping online. Recently, I bought Nike Zoom running shoes on Amazon. It was a marvellous experience. I think on websites like Amazon/Flipkart …Convenience is the biggest perk. Where else can you comfortably shop at midnight while in your pajamas?

   4. Which do you prefer, fashionable shoes or comfortable shoes?

   Comfortable shoes are always preferred over stylish shoes. Fashionable shoes undoubtedly look eye-grabbing from a distance but as it’s said the devil is in the details; they mostly lack cushioning and comfort. On the other hand, comfortable shoes are affordable with a great fit.

 1. Do you use headphones?

Yes..in fact, I am an audiophile. As such, I am in love with my headphones! They command the outside world to be silent. So whenever I feel like not talking to anyone I simply plug in my headphones and listen to music.

2. What type of headphones do you use?

Well.. I have wireless Over-the-hear headphones. I feel they are the best kind of earbuds for professional recording. You can get them for listening to music at work and benefit from noise-cancellation. Over-the-ear headphones are top-class in gaming as well.

3. When would you use headphones?

Mostly, I use headphones while sweating at the gym or commuting to work. During bedtime, I used to listen slow and classical music that can help me sleep.

4. In what conditions, you won’t use headphones?

As you know, any distraction while driving can be fatal. So I won’t be using headphones while steering a car or bike, that’s for sure! Another condition is apparently, when I have the company of my kinfolks. With family or friends, using headphones and isolate ourself is certainly inappropriate.
