16 infected with anthrax in Bangladesh Staff Reporter, Dhaka, July 5, 2018: Sixteen people, including four women, have been infected with anthrax at Khirshin village under Paba sub-district of northwestern Rajshahi district after eating contaminated beef. Having heard the news of infection on Saturday night, sub-district executive officer Abu Selim Mahmudul Hassan and sub-district livestock officer Shafiqul Alam visited the area and set up a health camp from yesterday. Quoting the report, they said the infected people had eaten beef of two slaughtered cattle purchased from a market near the Rajshahi city on August 3. Subsequently, all the men and women, who were involved in slaughtering, slicing and handling the meat, were infected with the skin disease. About 10 of them were given treatment at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH). “We are getting anthrax patients in the hospital frequently for the last couple of days,” said Dr Nazmul Huda Sumon, Resident Physician of RMCH, adding that they are now improving after treatment. He said the skin disease spreads through different modes like direct contact, inoculation and inhalation. Anthrax is an infectious disease due to a type of bacteria called bacillus anthracis. Infection in humans most often involves the skin, gastrointestinal tract, or lungs, he said. He also said, anthrax commonly affects hoofed animals such as sheep, cattle, and goats, but humans who come into contact with infected animals can also get sick from anthrax. In the past, the people who were most at risk for anthrax included farm workers, veterinarians as well as tannery and wool workers. An official from Live Stock Department control room said 28 cows and 5 goats have died of anthrax in Sirajganj and Pabna since the outbreak of the disease. Talking to the reporter, Dr. Mahbubur Rahman, assistant professor of Medicine of RMCH, put emphasis on creating awareness among the mass people about the precautionary measures.

Cambridge IELTS 21 Speaking Test- 3 Speaking Part 1: Spending and saving money When you go shopping, do you usually pay for things by cash or by card? Are you generally careful about how much money you spend? Have you ever spent money on something you didn't need? How important is it to you to save money for the future? Speaking Part 2 Describe an interesting garden or park you have seen You should say: where this garden or park is, how big it is, what you saw in this garden/park, and explain why you think this garden/park is interesting. Speaking Part 3: Homes and gardens & Gardening as a hobby What are the advantages of having a home with a garden? How could people living in apartment blocks grow plants and vegetables? How interested are people in your country in TV shows and magazines about gardens? Do you think that gardening is a hobby mainly for older people? What are the benefits for people of gardening as a hobby? Will gardening be a more popular hobby in the future? Questions and Answers Part 1: Spending and saving money When you go shopping, do you usually pay for things by cash or by card? I almost exclusively use a card or my smartphone for transactions nowadays. Carrying physical cash has become quite rare for me because digital payments are so much faster, more secure, and eliminate the hassle of dealing with loose change. It also makes tracking monthly expenses and budgeting infinitely easier through mobile banking apps. Are you generally careful about how much money you spend? I try to be quite disciplined, yes. Being mindful of personal finances is essential, especially when managing monthly expenses and saving up for long-term goals. I usually separate my income into essential spending, savings, and discretionary fun money so I don't accidentally overspend on impulse purchases. Have you ever spent money on something you didn't need? Oh, absolutely, I think everyone falls into that trap occasionally. A while ago, I bought a fancy multi-functional kitchen gadget online during a late-night sale, convinced it would revolutionize how I cook. In reality, I used it maybe twice before it ended up permanently tucked away at the back of a kitchen cabinet. It was a classic case of buying into clever marketing rather than actual utility. How important is it to you to save money for the future? It is profoundly important. Having a financial safety net provides a vital sense of security and peace of mind. Life is entirely unpredictable, whether it involves unexpected medical expenses, career transitions, or planning for future milestones. Putting money aside regularly ensures that you are prepared for whatever challenges or opportunities lie ahead. Part 2: Describe an interesting garden or park you have seen An extraordinary public space that left a lasting impression on me is Al Bidda Park, located right in the heart of Doha along the stunning waterfront Corniche. In terms of scale, it is massive—spanning a huge area that connects major cultural and commercial zones of the city. It serves as one of the primary green lungs of the urban landscape, offering vast expanses of manicured lawns, winding pedestrian paths, shaded pergolas, and modern recreational playgrounds. When you walk through the park, you see a wonderful cross-section of daily life. There are families picnicking under the shade of mature trees, children playing football on the grass, runners utilizing the specialized jogging tracks, and groups enjoying outdoor barbecues during the cooler winter months. The park also features native desert flora alongside lush imported plants, beautifully blending local ecology with modern landscape architecture. I found this park exceptionally interesting because of how successfully it creates a peaceful, natural sanctuary amidst an ultra-modern, fast-paced metropolis. It proves that urban planning can effectively integrate vast green spaces to improve public well-being. Visiting it offers a wonderful escape from the relentless noise of city traffic, making it a brilliant space to unwind and connect with nature without ever actually leaving the city center. Part 3: Homes and gardens & Gardening as a hobby What are the advantages of having a home with a garden? The primary benefit is having private outdoor space to relax, breathe fresh air, and disconnect from the stress of daily work. A private garden gives homeowners the freedom to cultivate flowers, grow organic vegetables, or provide a safe, natural play area for children and pets. It acts as a private sanctuary that significantly enhances your overall quality of life. How could people living in apartment blocks grow plants and vegetables? Urban apartment dwellers have to get quite creative with limited space. Utilizing balconies is the most common approach, where people can install vertical planters, railing flower boxes, or hanging pots to grow herbs like mint, coriander, and small vegetables like cherry tomatoes. Additionally, many communities now establish shared rooftop gardens or urban allotment spaces where residents can rent small plots to cultivate plants. How interested are people in your country in TV shows and magazines about gardens? There is a dedicated niche of enthusiasts who follow landscaping and home improvement media, but it isn't a massive mainstream obsession compared to interior design or cooking shows. Given the regional climate, a lot of local interest in gardening focuses heavily on desert-hardy plants, indoor hydroponics, and advanced irrigation systems rather than traditional English cottage gardens. Do you think that gardening is a hobby mainly for older people? Historically, it has certainly been associated with retirees and older generations who have the time, patience, and settled properties required to maintain a proper garden. However, there has been a noticeable shift recently. Many younger adults and urban professionals are taking up indoor gardening and houseplant propagation as a therapeutic way to reduce screen fatigue and bring a touch of nature into their apartments. What are the benefits for people of gardening as a hobby? Gardening offers incredible psychological and physical benefits. Cultivating plants requires patience and gentle physical activity, which acts as a wonderful, low-impact form of exercise. Psychologically, nurturing living things and watching them grow provides a deep sense of accomplishment and acts as an effective, meditative antidote to anxiety and digital burnout. Will gardening be a more popular hobby in the future? I believe it will, largely driven by growing global movements toward sustainability, food security, and mental well-being. As people become more conscious of where their food comes from and look for offline hobbies to balance hyper-connected digital lifestyles, growing your own herbs and houseplants will likely continue to gain popularity across all age groups.

Cambridge IELTS 21 Speaking Test- 2 Speaking Part 1: Cities How well do you know the capital city of your country? Do you think cities are exciting places to live? Why do some people dislike living in a city? If you could visit any city in the world, where would you go? Speaking Part 2 Describe a time when you read or heard something that you thought was not true. You should say: where you read/heard this, what you read/heard, why you thought it was not true, and explain how you felt about reading/hearing this thing that you thought was not true. Speaking Part 3: Honesty and children & Honesty and advertising Do you think children are more honest than adults? Why do adults tell children it's important to be honest? Do you think there are sometimes good reasons for adults not to tell children the truth? Are there any claims in advertisements that are sometimes not true? Why do people still buy things even when they know advertisements aren't completely accurate? Do you think advertisements that are dishonest should be banned? Questions and Answers Part 1: Cities How well do you know the capital city of your country? I know it quite well, having spent a significant amount of time navigating its bustling commercial districts and quieter residential neighborhoods. Whether it is keeping up with the rapid infrastructural developments or knowing the best historical spots, I am fairly familiar with how the city operates on a daily basis. Do you think cities are exciting places to live? Without a doubt. Cities are absolute hubs of energy, culture, and constant activity. There is always a new restaurant to try, an exhibition to attend, or a diverse mix of people to interact with. For anyone who enjoys a fast-paced environment with endless career and social opportunities, living in a city is hard to beat. Why do some people dislike living in a city? The major drawbacks are usually the relentless noise, heavy traffic congestion, and a general lack of personal space and greenery. The constant hustle and bustle can take a severe psychological toll over time. Many people eventually grow tired of the pollution and the high cost of living, preferring the peace and quiet of suburban or rural life instead. If you could visit any city in the world, where would you go? If I had to choose just one, I would love to visit Kyoto in Japan. While it is technically a major city, it manages to beautifully preserve its ancient heritage, traditional wooden architecture, and stunning classical gardens amidst modern development. It offers a fascinating contrast to the ultra-modern skyline of Tokyo and feels like stepping back in time. Part 2: Describe a time when you read or heard something that you thought was not true An instance that immediately comes to mind happened a few months ago while I was scrolling through my social media feed late in the evening. A sensational news article popped up claiming that a major international airline was giving away hundreds of free first-class tickets to celebrate a milestone anniversary, and all you had to do was click an unverified link and share the post with ten friends. I encountered this claim right on my smartphone while browsing online. The headline was plastered with flashy, urgent graphics designed to generate instant panic and excitement, urging users to act within the hour before the "offer expired." I knew almost instantly that it was an elaborate scam or piece of fake news for several glaring reasons. First, the URL of the website was a bizarre, misspelled web address rather than the official airline domain. Furthermore, the official corporate channels of the airline had no mention of any such promotion. It was a textbook phishing scheme designed to steal personal data by exploiting people's greed and gullibility. When I realized what it was, I felt a strong mixture of annoyance and deep concern. I was frustrated by how easily malicious actors manipulate online information just to trick unsuspecting users. What bothered me even more was seeing several acquaintances share the post genuinely believing it was real, which highlighted how vulnerable many people are to sophisticated digital misinformation. Part 3: Honesty and children & Honesty and advertising Do you think children are more honest than adults? Yes, I generally believe they are, largely because young children haven't yet mastered the social filters and diplomatic nuances that adults rely on. They tend to speak their minds with blunt innocence without thinking about the political or social consequences. Adults, on the other hand, constantly alter the truth to protect feelings, maintain professional harmony, or avoid awkward social situations. Why do adults tell children it's important to be honest? Adults emphasize honesty because it forms the bedrock of trust and strong moral character in a society. If children learn from an early age that lying has negative consequences and that telling the truth builds reliability, they grow up to be responsible citizens. Trust is difficult to rebuild once broken, so instilling this value early on is essential for healthy human relationships. Do you think there are sometimes good reasons for adults not to tell children the truth? In certain situations, absolutely. For instance, shielding young children from harsh realities like sudden tragedies, severe family illnesses, or adult financial stress is often necessary to protect their emotional well-being and sense of security. It isn't about teaching them to deceive, but rather about timing and protecting them from burdens they are too young to emotionally process. Are there any claims in advertisements that are sometimes not true? Regrettably, yes. While direct lies are heavily regulated, many advertisements rely on exaggeration, deceptive camera angles, or misleading scientific claims. Skincare commercials, for example, often use heavily edited models or digital retouching to promise miraculous results that a cream can never actually deliver, playing directly on consumer insecurities. Why do people still buy things even when they know advertisements aren't completely accurate? Consumers are heavily influenced by emotional marketing and aspiration rather than pure logic. Advertisements don't just sell a product; they sell an idealized lifestyle, status, or a feeling of happiness. Even when people suspect a product might not be quite as amazing as the commercial claims, the psychological desire for self-improvement or instant gratification often overrides their skepticism. Do you think advertisements that are dishonest should be banned? Strictly speaking, deceptive or fraudulent advertisements that cause direct financial or physical harm should definitely face heavy legal penalties or bans. However, policing creative exaggeration can be a slippery slope. While outright fraud must be stamped out, enforcing absolute literal truth in every single commercial metaphor or creative concept would stifle marketing creativity entirely.

Cambridge IELTS 21 Speaking Test- 1 Speaking Part 1: Hairstyles Where do you go to get a haircut? Have you changed your hairstyle recently? Would you ever change the colour of your hair? Do you enjoy going to the hairdresser/barber? Speaking Part 2 Describe a time when you used information for tourists, for example from a guidebook or online. You should say: where you got this information, what place this information was about, what information you got, and explain whether this information was very helpful for you. Speaking Part 3: Different types of holidays & Tourist attractions What are the most popular kinds of holidays for people from your country to go on? Do you think most people prefer to have a holiday abroad rather than in their own country? Why do some people want to do absolutely nothing when they go away on holiday? What are the kinds of tourist attraction that visitors to your country like to see? Do you think tourist attractions such as museums should be free for local people to visit? What can make a tourist attraction disappointing for visitors? Questions and Answers Part 1: Hairstyles Where do you go to get a haircut? I generally frequent a traditional, locally-run barbershop just a few blocks away from my apartment here in Doha. I’ve been going there for a while now, and the barber knows exactly how to cut my hair so that it maintains the neat, professional standard required for my workplace, without me having to explain it every single time. Have you changed your hairstyle recently? Not at all, to be perfectly honest. I am very much a creature of habit when it comes to my appearance. Because I work as an English teacher, I tend to stick to a very classic, manageable style that looks presentable in a classroom. I might ask the barber to trim the sides a bit shorter when the summer heat becomes intense, but the overall look has remained completely unchanged for years. Would you ever change the colour of your hair? I highly doubt it. I strongly prefer a natural, understated look, and the idea of constantly maintaining dyed hair just seems like a tremendous amount of unnecessary upkeep. Furthermore, an unnatural or particularly bright hair color simply wouldn't align with my professional environment or my personal aesthetic. Do you enjoy going to the hairdresser/barber? I genuinely do. My daily routine is usually packed with teaching, grading papers, and preparing lesson materials, so sitting in the barber’s chair is actually a rare luxury. It’s one of the few times during a busy month where I am forced to put my phone away, disconnect from my responsibilities, and just relax in a quiet, air-conditioned environment for half an hour. Part 2: Describe a time when you used information for tourists A time when I heavily relied on tourist and visitor information was earlier this year when I was organizing an educational field trip for my Grade XI students. We were planning a comprehensive guided visit to the National Museum of Qatar, followed by an afternoon at the Qatar National Library. Because I was responsible for a large group of energetic teenagers, I couldn't afford to just show up and hope for the best. I sourced almost all of my information online, directly from the official tourism portals and the respective websites of the cultural institutions. I had to look up a highly specific set of details. Primarily, I needed to understand the exact protocols for large group bookings and find out the specific timings for the guided, English-speaking school tours. Beyond that, I downloaded their digital floor plans to pinpoint exactly which interactive exhibits would be the most engaging for high school students. I also had to look up the logistical details for where our school bus could legally park and wait for us. This information was absolutely invaluable. Navigating massive, crowded cultural sites with dozens of students without a concrete itinerary would have been a complete logistical nightmare. Because I used the online resources to map out our route and timeline down to the minute, the entire excursion ran seamlessly. The students had a highly structured, educational experience rather than just wandering around aimlessly, and it took a massive weight off my shoulders as their teacher. Part 3: Different types of holidays & Tourist attractions What are the most popular kinds of holidays for people from your country to go on? For those of us living as expats in the Gulf, the most widely cherished holiday is simply flying back home—usually to Bangladesh—during the long summer break. It’s a vital time to reconnect with extended family, attend weddings, and enjoy the monsoon season. However, for people residing permanently in Bangladesh, escaping the heavy traffic of the capital to visit the serene hill tracts of Sylhet or the long coastal stretch of Cox's Bazar remains incredibly popular for weekend getaways. Do you think most people prefer to have a holiday abroad rather than in their own country? I think it predominantly boils down to financial privilege. People who have a higher disposable income almost universally prefer traveling abroad to experience entirely different climates, sample foreign cuisines, and explore historical sites in places like Europe or Southeast Asia. That being said, domestic tourism is still the backbone of the holiday industry because it is vastly more affordable, requires far less planning, and completely bypasses the stressful, bureaucratic nightmare of applying for international visas. Why do some people want to do absolutely nothing when they go away on holiday? I believe it is a direct, natural response to how exhausting modern corporate and academic life has become. People today are constantly tethered to their jobs through smartphones, answering emails late into the night and dealing with relentless daily targets. A holiday where you do absolutely nothing—perhaps just lounging on a quiet beach with a book—acts as the ultimate antidote to professional burnout. It gives the brain a much-needed opportunity to power down and truly reset. What are the kinds of tourist attraction that visitors to your country like to see? Visitors to Qatar are usually captivated by the stark contrast between ultra-modern infrastructure and deeply preserved Arabian traditions. They are drawn to the futuristic, glittering skylines of West Bay and the massive luxury shopping districts. However, they are equally fascinated by heritage sites like Souq Waqif or the inland sea, where they can experience authentic local cuisine, traditional architecture, and desert safaris that offer a glimpse into the region's historical, nomadic way of life. Do you think tourist attractions such as museums should be free for local people to visit? Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt. Museums act as the custodians of a nation's cultural and historical heritage. Local residents should have unhindered, regular access to their own history without ever facing a financial barrier. Offering free admission not only fosters a strong sense of national pride and identity, but it also encourages families to make educational outings a regular, enriching part of their weekends rather than a rare luxury. What can make a tourist attraction disappointing for visitors? Severe overcrowding is arguably the most significant factor. If a famous landmark is absolutely swarming with people to the point where you cannot move freely or appreciate the atmosphere, the magic is instantly lost. Additionally, poor facility maintenance, a lack of clear, multi-lingual signage, or highly commercialized environments that blatantly overcharge tourists for basic necessities like water and food can completely ruin the experience, leaving visitors feeling exploited rather than entertained.

Cambridge IELTS 20 Speaking Test- 4 Speaking Part 1 Personal Qualities What do you think your best personal qualities are? Why? Do you have the same personal qualities as your parents? (Why/Why not?) What personal qualities are important to you in a friend? (Why?) Do you think you have the personal qualities to be a good/successful leader? (Why/Why not?) Speaking Part 2 Describe a time when you had a long discussion about a news story. You should say: • What the news story was about• Who you discussed this news story with• What people’s opinions wereand explain why you had such a long discussion about this news story. Speaking Part 3 News and Media How do most people find out about the news in your country? Are people more interested in local news than national news? How important is it to know about international news? Public Debates and Talk Shows Why are discussion programmes involving members of the public popular on TV and radio? What kinds of people want to take part in discussion programmes? Do discussion programmes influence people in a good or bad way? Questions and Answers Part 1: Personal Qualities What do you think your best personal qualities are? Why? I would have to say my patience and my adaptability. I spend my days teaching Grade XI students, which means I am constantly interacting with different personalities, resolving minor conflicts, and answering endless questions. Without a deep well of patience, I simply wouldn't survive. Furthermore, the ability to adapt quickly is crucial because lesson plans rarely go exactly as intended; you have to be ready to pivot at a moment's notice. Do you have the same personal qualities as your parents? (Why/Why not?) It’s a bit of a mix, to be honest. I definitely inherited my patience from my mother, who has always been an incredibly calm and grounding presence in our family. However, I am much more adaptable than my father. He is a man who thrives on strict, predictable routines and gets quite stressed when plans change, whereas I am quite comfortable navigating unpredictable situations. What personal qualities are important to you in a friend? (Why?) Reliability is absolutely paramount. I value friends who show up when they say they will and who stand by their word. Beyond that, a good sense of humor is essential. Life can get incredibly stressful with work and responsibilities, so having a friend who can lighten the mood and make you laugh over a cup of coffee is invaluable. Do you think you have the personal qualities to be a good/successful leader? (Why/Why not?) Yes, I genuinely believe I do. Managing a classroom every day is essentially a form of leadership. It requires clear communication, a strong sense of empathy to understand where people are struggling, and the ability to inspire a group to reach a common goal. I try to lead by encouraging collaboration rather than just dictating orders, which I think is the hallmark of effective modern leadership. Part 2: Describe a time when you had a long discussion about a news story. A time that stands out vividly in my mind was a few months ago in the school staff room. The news story we were discussing was the rapid integration of advanced artificial intelligence—specifically tools like Claude and NotebookLM—into the mainstream education sector. An article had just been published detailing how students worldwide were using these platforms to draft essays and complete assignments. I ended up discussing this for over an hour with a group of my fellow language teachers. It started casually over morning tea but quickly evolved into a deep, philosophical debate. The opinions in the room were heavily polarized. On one side, some of the more traditional teachers were absolutely terrified. They felt that AI was a direct threat to academic integrity and argued that it would completely destroy students' critical thinking and writing skills. On the other side, a few of us, myself included, took a more optimistic view. I argued that these tools are simply the new calculators for language and research. Instead of fighting a losing battle to ban them, we should be teaching students how to use them ethically as brainstorming partners to elevate their work. The reason the discussion went on for so long is that this news story wasn't just some distant political event; it directly threatened and challenged our daily livelihood. It forced us to completely rethink how we assess student knowledge. By the end of the conversation, we hadn't completely agreed, but we did realize that our traditional methods of giving homework had to change forever. Part 3: News and Media & Public Debates and Talk Shows How do most people find out about the news in your country? Traditional print media is largely a thing of the past. Nowadays, the vast majority of people get their news through social media algorithms on platforms like X, Facebook, or through short-form video apps. Additionally, news aggregator apps on smartphones send instant push notifications for breaking stories. While it makes information highly accessible, it does mean people often only read the headlines rather than the full context of an article. Are people more interested in local news than national news? I think it leans heavily toward local news on a day-to-day basis. People are naturally more invested in things that directly impact their immediate surroundings—such as local traffic updates in Doha, changes to municipal taxes, or upcoming community events. National news only really captures the majority's attention during major events like elections, economic policy shifts, or international sporting tournaments. How important is it to know about international news? It is incredibly important because we live in a deeply interconnected global economy. A political conflict in one part of the world can instantly disrupt supply chains, which directly impacts the price of groceries and fuel at our local supermarkets. Furthermore, being aware of international news fosters a sense of global empathy and prevents societies from becoming too isolated or narrow-minded in their thinking. Why are discussion programmes involving members of the public popular on TV and radio? Human beings are naturally drawn to drama and conflict. These programs offer raw, unscripted emotion, which is highly entertaining. Furthermore, it is quite cathartic for viewers to see everyday, ordinary people—rather than polished politicians or celebrities—voicing the exact same frustrations and opinions that they hold. It makes the audience feel heard and validated. What kinds of people want to take part in discussion programmes? Generally, it attracts individuals who have extremely strong, often polarized opinions on a subject and possess the confidence to argue their point on national television. You rarely see moderate, quiet thinkers volunteering for these shows. Unfortunately, it also attracts a fair number of people who are simply seeking their fifteen minutes of fame and enjoy the attention, regardless of the topic being discussed. Do discussion programmes influence people in a good or bad way? It is certainly a mixed bag. On the positive side, they democratize the media by giving a platform to marginalized voices and bringing ignored social issues into the public spotlight. However, the influence can be quite negative because these shows thrive on sensationalism. Producers often encourage shouting matches rather than nuanced, respectful debates. This can further divide society by convincing viewers that whoever shouts the loudest is the one who is right. Vocabulary Words/expressions from the text, with meanings in English and Bangla, and examples. Comprehensive Vocabulary & Expressions List Word / Expression Meaning Meaning in Bangla Example Pivot at a moment's notice To quickly change your plan or strategy with very little warning. মুহূর্তের নোটিশে পরিকল্পনা বদলানো When the projector broke, the teacher had to pivot at a moment's notice and use the whiteboard.

Polarized Divided into two completely opposing groups or opinions. দুই মেরুতে বিভক্ত / সম্পূর্ণ বিপরীতমুখী Public opinion on the new tax law is deeply polarized.

Cathartic Providing psychological relief through the open expression of strong emotions. রেচনমূলক / মানসিক স্বস্তিদায়ক Writing all my frustrations down in a journal was an incredibly cathartic experience. Validated Feeling that your opinions, emotions, or ideas are recognized and worthwhile. মূল্যায়িত বা স্বীকৃত বোধ করা Hearing that others struggled with the same problem made me feel validated. Fifteen minutes of fame Short-lived media publicity or celebrity status for an ordinary person. ক্ষণস্থায়ী পরিচিতি বা খ্যাতি He went viral on TikTok for a day, enjoying his fifteen minutes of fame.

Nuanced Characterized by subtle shades of meaning or expression; complex and not just black-and-white. সূক্ষ্ম ও গভীরতাসম্পন্ন / বহুমাত্রিক The history of this conflict is highly nuanced and cannot be explained in one sentence.

Cambridge IELTS 20 Speaking Test- 3 Speaking Part 1 Museum Did you enjoy going to museums when you were a child? Are there any interesting museums near where you live now? When you visit another city or country, do you think it’s important to go to a museum there? Is your city or region a good place for other people to visit on holiday? Why? Why not? Speaking Part 2 Describe a piece of work you did for your job or your studies that you felt very satisfied with. You should say: • What this piece of work was• Why you did this piece of work• Who or what helped you do this workand explain why you felt so satisfied with this piece of work. Speaking Part 3 Happiness and Life Goals What are some aspects of people’s lives that they can often be dissatisfied with? Would you say that having ambitions in life is always a positive thing? What do you believe the most important components are of a satisfying life? Job Satisfaction What makes a job more satisfying: a high salary or having good colleagues? Do you think people need to change jobs regularly if they want to stay satisfied at work? Is it possible to find job satisfaction in all types of work? Questions and Answers Part 1: Museum Did you enjoy going to museums when you were a child? Oh, absolutely. When I was younger, our school used to organize annual field trips to the local history and science museums, and I always looked forward to them. I was completely fascinated by the massive dinosaur skeletons and the interactive science exhibits. For a kid, being able to actually touch things and see history come to life was so much more exciting than just reading about it in a textbook. Are there any interesting museums near where you live now? Yes, quite a few actually. Living here in Doha, we are incredibly lucky to have some world-class museums. The National Museum of Qatar is probably my favorite. The building itself is an architectural masterpiece shaped like a desert rose, and inside, it uses huge curved screens and immersive audio to tell the history of the country. We also have the Museum of Islamic Art, which is stunning and sits right on the water. When you visit another city or country, do you think it’s important to go to a museum there? I definitely think so. Whenever I travel with my family, visiting a local museum is always at the top of our itinerary. I feel like you can't truly understand the culture, the struggles, or the identity of a new place just by shopping at their malls or eating at restaurants. A museum gives you the historical context you need to actually appreciate the city you are walking around in. Is your city or region a good place for other people to visit on holiday? Why? Why not? I would say Doha is a fantastic place for a holiday, but with one major condition: you have to come during the winter months! From November to March, the weather is gorgeous, and you can enjoy the beaches, the desert safaris, and all the outdoor festivals. It offers a really unique blend of deep-rooted Arabian traditions and ultra-modern luxury. However, if you come in July or August, the heat and humidity are practically unbearable, which ruins the holiday experience for a lot of tourists. Part 2: Describe a piece of work you did for your job or your studies that you felt very satisfied with. A piece of work that I am incredibly proud of is a major chemistry research project I had to complete just a few months ago for my Grade 12 internal assessments. We were tasked with designing a working model or conducting a comprehensive experiment related to environmental sustainability. Because water scarcity is such a huge topic here in the Middle East, my lab partner and I decided to build a miniature, solar-powered water desalination model. The goal was to prove that we could turn saltwater into clean drinking water using only the heat from the sun. I chose to do this specific piece of work because I wanted to challenge myself. I could have picked a simple, standard textbook experiment to guarantee a good grade, but I am genuinely passionate about environmental science, and I wanted to create something that actually had real-world relevance. Honestly, it was a grueling process, and I couldn't have done it alone. My chemistry teacher was an absolute lifesaver. He stayed behind after school hours multiple times to help us safely handle the materials and troubleshoot when our condensation tubes kept leaking. My lab partner was also brilliant at handling the math and the data analysis part of the final report, while I focused heavily on building the physical model. The reason I felt so incredibly satisfied with this work was because it involved so much trial and error. For the first two weeks, the model just flat-out failed. We couldn't get the temperature high enough to evaporate the water. It was incredibly frustrating, and we almost gave up. But when we finally adjusted the angles of the mirrors and saw those first few drops of pure, clean water collect in the beaker, the rush of relief was indescribable. Getting the highest grade in the class was great, but the real satisfaction came from knowing that my hard work, patience, and problem-solving actually paid off. Part 3: Happiness and Life Goals & Job Satisfaction What are some aspects of people’s lives that they can often be dissatisfied with? In today’s fast-paced world, I think the most common area of dissatisfaction is the work-life balance. So many people—including adults and even students my age—feel like they are constantly on a treadmill. They are either overworked at their jobs or buried in academic pressure, leaving them with almost zero time for their hobbies, their families, or just taking a breath. Aside from that, financial instability is a massive source of stress. When people feel like they are working incredibly hard but are barely making ends meet due to the rising cost of living, it naturally leads to a deep sense of frustration and dissatisfaction with life. Would you say that having ambitions in life is always a positive thing? I think ambition is generally a positive trait because it acts as the fuel that keeps you moving forward. Without ambition, people tend to stagnate; they lose their drive to learn new things or improve their circumstances. However, I wouldn't say it is always positive. It can definitely be a double-edged sword. When ambition turns into an unhealthy obsession, people start sacrificing their mental health, their sleep, and their relationships just to climb the ladder or get the top grade. If your ambition makes you step on other people or makes you miserable in the present moment because you're constantly chasing the future, then it becomes a very destructive force. What do you believe the most important components are of a satisfying life? From my perspective, a satisfying life boils down to three main pillars: meaningful connections, a sense of purpose, and physical health. Humans are social creatures, so having a strong support system of family and friends who genuinely care about you is irreplaceable. Secondly, you need a reason to wake up in the morning. That doesn't necessarily mean having a high-paying job; it could be a creative hobby, volunteering, or raising a family. Just feeling like you are contributing something valuable to the world. And lastly, health is wealth. You can have all the money and success in the world, but if you are too sick or exhausted to enjoy it, none of it matters. What makes a job more satisfying: a high salary or having good colleagues? If I have to choose, I would say having good colleagues and a positive work environment is much more crucial for long-term satisfaction. Of course, a high salary is important at first—everyone needs to pay their bills and live comfortably. But once your basic financial needs are met, money stops being a daily motivator. If you are earning a fortune but your boss is toxic, your coworkers constantly backstab you, and you dread waking up every Monday morning, that money won't buy you happiness. On the flip side, working with supportive, funny, and collaborative people makes even a stressful, average-paying job feel manageable and rewarding. Do you think people need to change jobs regularly if they want to stay satisfied at work? Not necessarily, but I do think it helps a lot of people avoid falling into a rut. Some people are perfectly happy staying at the same company for twenty years if they feel respected, well-compensated, and deeply connected to their community. However, for a lot of modern professionals, staying in one place for too long can lead to a feeling of stagnation. They stop learning, the daily tasks become robotic, and they lose their passion. For those people, changing jobs every few years provides a much-needed change of scenery, new challenges, and opportunities to expand their skill sets, which keeps their professional lives exciting. Is it possible to find job satisfaction in all types of work? Yes, I genuinely believe it is, because job satisfaction isn't just about the tasks you perform; it's heavily tied to your mindset and how you view your contribution. You could have a seemingly glamorous job as a lawyer but feel completely empty inside. Conversely, someone working as a street cleaner or a janitor can find immense satisfaction in knowing that they are keeping their city beautiful, preventing disease, and making the environment safer for children. If you can clearly see how your work positively impacts other human beings, you can find a deep sense of dignity and pride in absolutely any profession.

Cambridge IELTS 20 Speaking Test- 2 Speaking Part 1 Fruit What’s your favourite fruit? Are there any kinds of fruit that you don’t like eating? Do you like eating cooked food that has fruit in it? Where’s the best place to buy fruit where you live? Speaking Part 2 Describe a time when you changed a plan you had made You should say: • What your original plan was • Why you changed it • What new plan you madeand explain how you felt about changing your plan. Speaking Part 3 Making Plans with Friends What kinds of plans do friends make together? Do you think it’s better to discuss future plans with friends or with family? When making plans for the future, is it important not to copy friends? Career Planning and Development When people are choosing what to study, how important is it that their course should lead directly to a career? Why is it a good idea to get some work experience before deciding on a future career? How easy do you think it is for people to change from one career to another? Questions and Answers Part 1: Fruit What’s your favourite fruit? I would definitely have to say mangoes. Here in Doha, especially during the summer, we get these incredible, sweet mangoes imported from South Asia. When they are perfectly ripe and in season, nothing really beats them. I could honestly eat them every single day without ever getting bored. Are there any kinds of fruit that you don’t like eating? Yes, I really can’t stand papaya. I know a lot of people love it because it’s super healthy, but I just can't get past the texture. It feels a bit too mushy for my liking, and it has this strange, earthy smell that completely puts me off. It’s definitely an acquired taste that I haven't acquired yet! Do you like eating cooked food that has fruit in it? Generally, I prefer my fruit fresh, but I do have a massive sweet tooth when it comes to baked desserts. I absolutely love warm apple pie or peach cobbler, especially when the fruit gets soft and caramelized with cinnamon and sugar. However, I draw the line at savory dishes—like putting pineapple on a pizza. That just feels wrong to me. Where’s the best place to buy fruit where you live? If you want the best variety, large hypermarkets like Family Qatar or Lulu are usually my go-to spots because they import fresh produce from all over the world, so you can find almost anything. But if you want the absolute freshest, seasonal stuff at a bargain, going to the central wholesale market early in the morning is the best option, though it requires waking up super early. Part 2: Describe a time when you changed a plan you had made A time I had to drastically change my plans was just a couple of months ago, right after our midterm exams. My friends and I had been planning this massive outdoor barbecue at Al Bidda Park for weeks. We had everything sorted out—who was bringing the marinated chicken, who was bringing the drinks, the picnic blankets, and the speakers. We were incredibly excited just to be outside and celebrate the end of a very stressful exam week. However, on the actual morning of the picnic, we woke up to a massive sandstorm. The sky was completely orange, the wind was howling, and the air quality was terrible. It was one of those days where the authorities advise everyone to just stay indoors. Obviously, sitting in a park eating sand-covered burgers wasn't going to work, so we had to cancel the outdoor idea immediately. Instead of just calling the whole day off, we quickly pivoted to an indoor plan. We decided to meet up at the Mall of Qatar instead. We grabbed lunch at a nice indoor burger joint, watched the latest action movie at the cinema, and then spent a couple of hours playing bowling. At first, I was honestly pretty bummed out. I had really been looking forward to the fresh air and the whole grilling experience. But as the day went on, I realized the change of plans was actually a blessing in disguise. The mall was heavily air-conditioned, there were no bugs, and nobody had to deal with the messy cleanup of a barbecue. We ended up laughing for hours and having an absolute blast, so I felt really happy and relieved that we managed to save the day. Part 3: Making Plans with Friends & Career Planning What kinds of plans do friends make together? At my age, as high school seniors, our plans are a mix of fun and serious stuff. On the fun side, we are constantly planning weekend hangouts, like going to the cinema, trying out new cafes, or organizing gaming nights at someone's house. But on the more serious side, we also plan study schedules together, especially with board exams coming up. We organize group study sessions at the local library and even brainstorm ideas for our university applications. Do you think it’s better to discuss future plans with friends or with family? I think you genuinely need both, but for different reasons. When you discuss future plans with your family, especially your parents, they bring a lot of practical wisdom and financial reality to the table. They think about long-term security. Friends, on the other hand, are great for emotional support. They understand exactly what you are going through because they are in the exact same boat. They are usually more open to modern, unconventional career paths that older generations might not fully understand. When making plans for the future, is it important not to copy friends? It is incredibly important not to just follow the herd. It’s natural to want to go to the same university or pick the same major as your best friend so you can stay together. But doing that is a total recipe for disaster. Everyone has completely different aptitudes, passions, and weaknesses. If you force yourself into a computer science degree just because your best friend is doing it, but you secretly hate coding, you are going to be miserable. You have to chart your own course based on who you are. When people are choosing what to study, how important is it that their course should lead directly to a career? Given how expensive university tuition is these days, I’d say it’s highly important. A lot of young people are very anxious about graduating with mountains of debt and no clear job prospects. So, picking a degree like engineering, nursing, or accounting—where there is a direct pipeline to a specific profession—feels much safer. That being said, I don't think it's the only thing that matters. Degrees that teach broad critical thinking skills are still valuable, but you definitely need a realistic plan on how to turn that degree into a paycheck. Why is it a good idea to get some work experience before deciding on a future career? Getting work experience, like through a summer internship or a part-time job, is crucial because it shatters the romanticized image you might have of a job. You might watch a TV show about lawyers and think the job is all about dramatic courtroom speeches, but an internship will show you that it’s actually 90% sitting at a desk reading boring documents. Work experience shows you the day-to-day reality, the office politics, and the actual stress of the job, which helps you make an informed decision before committing four years of your life to studying it. How easy do you think it is for people to change from one career to another? I don't think it's easy at all, though it is becoming much more common nowadays. Changing careers usually requires a huge leap of faith. You often have to start right back at the bottom of the ladder, which might mean taking a massive pay cut. There's also the challenge of retraining, which takes time and money. It can be incredibly daunting for someone in their thirties or forties to walk away from a stable career and learn something completely new. But for those who are deeply unhappy in their current jobs, that difficult transition is usually worth it in the long run.

Do you think theatres need to do more to attract younger audiences? Being an Actor What do you think attracts people to working as an actor? What are some of the qualities that a person needs to have if they want to become an actor? Can you think of any disadvantages of working as an actor? Questions and Answers Part 1: Walking How much walking do you do in your daily life? As a Grade 12 student, I spend most of my day sitting in classrooms or hunched over my desk studying for my final board exams, so I really don't walk as much as I should. But I do make it a strict habit to go for a brisk 20-minute walk around my neighborhood every evening. It’s mostly just to get away from my textbooks, clear my head, and get some fresh air after staring at a laptop screen all day. Did you walk more when you were at school than now? Actually, yes, I definitely walked a lot more when I was in junior high. Back then, my friends and I used to walk back home together every single afternoon, and we’d always take the longest route possible just so we could hang out and talk. Nowadays, because the academic pressure is so intense, my parents usually just drive me to school to save time, so my daily step count has gone way down. What places are there to go for a walk near where you live? I live in a fairly quiet residential area, so we have some really nice landscaped walkways and small community parks nearby. When the weather isn't too hot, going for a stroll around the park near my house is incredibly relaxing. It has a great paved jogging track, plenty of trees, and it's usually very peaceful right around sunset. Would you ever like to go on a walking holiday? I think that would be an amazing experience, though maybe not right now with my exams coming up! But eventually, the idea of packing a light backpack and hiking through a scenic mountain trail or exploring old historical towns on foot sounds like a brilliant adventure. It would be such a cool way to see the world at a slow pace without being constantly distracted by a phone. Part 2: Describe a play or a film you have seen that you would like to see again with friends The movie that I watched a while ago and would absolutely love to watch again with my school friends is Interstellar. It’s a science-fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan, and I remember it completely blowing my mind the first time I saw it. If I were organizing a movie night this weekend, I’d definitely invite three or four of my closest classmates who are just as obsessed with space and physics as I am. The story follows a group of astronauts who travel through a wormhole in search of a new habitable planet for humanity because Earth is slowly dying. It deals with some heavy scientific concepts like time dilation and gravity, but at its core, it's a really emotional story about a father trying to get back to his kids. People have really mixed opinions about it, to be honest. A lot of my friends praise it for having incredible visual effects, a breathtaking musical score, and a plot that actually forces you to think. But on the flip side, I've had some friends tell me that the science gets way too confusing toward the end, and that a three-hour movie is just too long to sit through in one go. The main reason I want to watch it again with my friends is because of how deeply it makes you think. After the movie finishes, you can't just switch off. You spend hours arguing about the ending, the physics of black holes, and how time works. Watching it together and then debating all our crazy theories would be such a fun way to spend a Friday evening and take a break from all our school stress. Part 3: Theatre Culture & Being an Actor What are the most popular kinds of plays or shows at theatres in your country? To be honest, I think it really depends on the generation you're talking about, but overall, historical dramas and lighthearted family comedies are definitely the most popular here. People really enjoy stories that connect back to our local culture and traditions. But besides that, comedy plays are huge. I mean, daily life and work can get pretty stressful for adults, so a lot of families just want to go out on a weekend and have a good laugh together. I also notice that whenever there’s a big holiday, you see these massive musical productions popping up. Those always draw huge crowds because they’re just so entertaining and colorful for everyone, from little kids all the way up to grandparents. How easy is it to get tickets to the theatre? Well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. If you’re just trying to catch a local school play or something put on by a community drama club, it’s super easy. You can literally just show up at the door on a Friday night, buy a ticket, and walk right in. But it is a completely different story if a famous touring company comes to town or if the play features well-known actors. For those big shows, tickets disappear almost instantly. I remember last year, my friends and I tried to get tickets for a popular stage show, and the ticketing website actually crashed because so many people were trying to book at the exact same time! So for the big events, you really have to be online the second they go on sale. Do you think theatres need to do more to attract younger audiences? Oh, absolutely. 100 percent. I think a lot of teenagers, including a lot of my classmates, just assume that the theatre is boring or that it's something only older people do. We are so used to fast-paced movies, Netflix, and TikTok that sitting still through a three-hour play just doesn’t sound appealing to most kids my age. If theatres want to change that, they really need to meet young people where they are. They could start posting cool behind-the-scenes videos, set designs, or actor interviews on Instagram or TikTok to build hype. And honestly, they need to look at the ticket prices. Theatre tickets can be incredibly expensive, and as high school students, we just don't have that kind of pocket money. Offering heavy student discounts would definitely encourage a lot more of us to give it a try. What do you think attracts people to working as an actor? I guess the most obvious answer is the fame and the glamour, right? A lot of people dream about walking the red carpet, going to award shows, and having fans. But if we're talking about the actual art of acting, I think it’s the thrill of getting to escape your own life for a while. You get to step into the shoes of a completely different person, maybe live in a different historical time period, and experience things you would never get to do in your normal, everyday life. Plus, I was in a school play once, and I have to say, the feeling you get when you’re standing on a stage and the audience is clapping or laughing at your jokes... it’s an incredible rush of adrenaline. I can definitely see why people get addicted to that feeling. What are some of the qualities that a person needs to have if they want to become an actor? Well, I’d say the number one thing you need is incredibly thick skin. From what I’ve read and seen in interviews, acting involves constant rejection. You might go to fifty auditions and get told "no" forty-nine times, so you really can't let it destroy your self-esteem. You have to just brush it off and keep going. Besides that, you definitely need a lot of empathy. To play a character convincingly, you have to really understand human emotions and figure out why people behave the way they do. And honestly, you just need sheer confidence. Standing up in front of hundreds of strangers and crying or screaming on command without feeling completely embarrassed takes a lot of guts. Can you think of any disadvantages of working as an actor? Yeah, there are definitely quite a few downsides, and I don't think it's as glamorous as it looks on TV. The biggest one has to be the complete lack of financial security. Unlike my parents, who have regular jobs with a steady salary every month, actors never really know when their next paycheck is going to come. You could land a great role and make good money, but then you might not get hired again for another eight months. That sounds incredibly stressful to me. And on the flip side, if you actually do make it big and become famous, you basically say goodbye to your privacy. Having paparazzi follow you around when you’re just trying to buy groceries or hang out with your friends seems like a nightmare, and I think that would take a huge toll on someone's mental health.
