Personal questions
- Do you work or study?
I’m studying Bachelor
of Commerce from RK College of Commerce.
- What subject are you studying?
My major subjects are
accountancy, statistics, and business administration. Together these all teach
me how to manage a business and the dealing of accounts.
- Why did you choose it?
I am very good with
numbers and calculations so accounts was a natural choice. Consequently I score
very good marks in accounts in my class.
- Is it popular among students?
Yes B.Com. is a very
popular degree course among students in my country. As I said it instructs you
on the basics of business administration so a lot of people opt for this as my
country is mainly business oriented.
Cue Card
Talk about a dinner with friends that you had recently.
Please say
- Who organized the dinner?
- What kind of food did you eat?
- What did you talk about during the dinner?
I recently went for
dinner with my girl friends. They actually are my classmates from school. A few
of them are married so we don’t get enough time to hangout. Luckily, one of us
had the idea of a reunion and we were able to find a time suitable for
everyone, and we decided to go for dinner in a very authentic Italian cuisine
restaurant. We went to a place called La’ Atelier, which I suggested. I had
heard a lot about this place, and one or two dishes of this place were highly
recommended. Anyways, we decided to meet at 8 and reached the venue accordingly.
The ambience of the place was like a small Italian eatery, like from the
movies, and me and my friends liked the place very much. We ordered for
ourselves and meanwhile we got talking about each other and all the happenings in
our lives. We talked about our present careers and future goals, and personal
relationships. We also got a bit nostalgic and reminisced about out school days
and all the fun we had together. The food arrived and the signature dishes
lived up to their expectations! We had ordered lasagne, pizza, two kinds of
pasta, and everything was very delicious! While eating, we also gossiped about
some other classmates and the evening turned out to be a pretty great one! We
enjoyed the food as much as we enjoyed each other's company, and I was really
very glad to see my friends had a wonderful time!
Discussion
- What was the occasion?
It was no occasion actually.
We all wanted to meet each other so we asked everyone on our Whatsapp messaging
group and the plan just worked out.
- Do you often have dinner with friends?
Yes I do! I have
either lunch or dinner with friends at least once a week.
- Why is that?
In Ahmedabad, there
are no pubs or bars or clubs where we can go and hang out and have a different
time. Here the people love eating a lot so there are uncountable restaurants in
the city and they have only become the places to hang out and chill with friends.
- Let’s talk about the elderly.
Sure!
- How are the elderly treated in your country? Why?
In my country the
elderly are revered greatly and are taken care of by every family member. We
have a culture of living in joint families so no one ever leaves the grandparents
or the elderly members of the house alone; there is always someone to accompany
them, or talk to them. Of course there are exceptions of certain people who
abandon their parents and leave them at an elderly shelter, but even there too
the old people are cared for very nicely.
- Who should take care of them in your opinion, the
government or their family?
I believe family
comes first when it comes to taking care of family members. You can expect the government
to provide medical facilities and financial help and all other modern
facilities also that the elderly might require. But you cannot leave the entire
task of caring for the elderly on the government.
- How should the society behave towards them? Why?
The society need to
be patients, affectionate, sympathetic and caring towards the elderly. One
thing we need to keep in mind is that we are in the queue too! So we should
treat them the way we want to be treated in our old age.
