Speaking Practice I


Part I: Introduction

1.      Tell me something about your home town or village, what kind of place is it?
It's quite a small village, about 60 km away from Damphu town. Indeed, it is a very quiet and beautiful village. We have just a few shops nearby because most of the people are very oriented towards farming culture. 

2.      What is the most interesting part of your home town or village?
Well, my village doesn't have any holy places, yet people are very religious, kind, and helpful. 

3.      What kind of jobs do people in your home town or village do?
Most of the people are engage in farming, social works, local government officials, business, and community services. However, we also have some health officers, engineers, and doctors who work in government offices. 

4.      Would you say it’s a good place to live?
Definitely yes, because people are friendly, kind, and helpful. Nevertheless, my village is small, and naturally beautiful. It is also beyond the call of pollution, and other human disturbances. 

Part II: Individual long-turn

1.      Describe something about yourself which is very important to you.
One of the most important things I have right now is my DSLR EOS 60D Canon camera, because I like photography, and it’s something I am very close to as a little boy. I value my camera so much since it was gifted by my wife during our first anniversary. Perhaps, hanging out with my camera gives me lots of space to forget work stress. As a passionate nature lover, I get lots of chances to connect myself with nature because every image that I take has some story of rich biodiversity, and human connection.   

Part III: Two-way discussion

1.      What kind of things (possession) give status to people in your country?
The First thing I can remember is the car. Almost everybody wants to own luxurious cars, something very expensive, and voguish one.  The others I can remember are clothing, house, and mobile phone. 

2.      Have things changed since your parent’s time?
It's something more than –beyond the "Earth and the Sky." It's absolutely different now and during my parent’s time. One very visible thing is the way we live, and eat. The others are the growth of technologies, fashion in clothes, architectures, networking, and mobile phones, etc…

3.      Do you think advertising influences what people buy?
Absolutely yes. In today's world most of the people have access to either social networking, or television. These are basically the main sources of information people get from. I have seen many of my friends, and perhaps, some of my family members have bought lots of stuff after they have seen it on the media. These days almost 95% of buying and selling things happen online, that basically is influenced by online, and television advertisement because everyone wants to try in a similar fashion like tv stars, and advertisement models. Thus, good advertisement is smart marketing in the world of ever-growing technology, and information overload.

Iron Lady of India dies at 68.

It was neither a good news to millions of Tamilian nor to the parliament house. But, she will continue to remain one of the most influential person in politics and in the film industries. Perhaps, she became more than the goddess of Tamil Nadu politics. She has been a greatest asset to her country in her best pursuit. The women who has ruled India more like 'Gandhian Philosophy.'   Jayalalithaa jee She has done every preeminent possible ways to bring massive changes in the life of millions of people and uplifted the Indian society than any other women. She had worked so hard, she had risk every bits of her life just for the benefit of all the Indians because of which she had gained a huge popularity amongst the other leaders. She was popularly known as an ‘ Iron Lady ’ for being tough and firm in her action and ‘ Amma ’ for acting more than a mother for millions of homeless and to the needy ones.’   The best part I have seen throughout her political regime and fil

Golden Words Of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

King Jigme Singye Wangchuck "...in particular, speaking for myself; my sorrow in having lost my own father is indeed very great.

Goodbye Beloved Teachers

When life has thousands reasons to walk and live, I've thousands different ways to spend my coming holidays. So, does you all my ‘teacher-colleagues’ I've been working so hard for nearly, 280 days round the clock in, educating different lives with different wants, likes and ages. Honestly, I've been so busy and fully occupied for countless hours of teachings, correcting exam papers, assessing note books etc… – and that is called the life of a ‘every tangible teachers’. As a teacher/educator, almost every time - life goes beyond teaching and correcting exam papers. As, we need to engage our students into various fields of learning – going for extra classes, attending club activities, prayers, co-curricular activities, literary activities, cultural programs and so on…and this is the life of each teacher behind the screen. Yet, we get lots of blame starting from the people of highest rank to the lowest. In Bhutan, now a day in the name of suicide case, educa
