21. An
item you thought you lost but then found
25. Something you bought but haven’t used yet
I still remember his shock when he opened my present since he expected it to be a wall painting because of the shape of the present.
But after finding out what it was, his eyes swelled up with tears.
He didn’t say anything, we just hugged each other.
2 months later, when I was talking to him on face-time, I saw our portrait hanging on the wall in the background.
At that time, I realised that nothing could ever be as special as a handmade present
·

How did you find it.
Bright-Way’s sample answer
I’m a regular traveler (collocation) to
different Places (collocation) and, on my last visit to Mcleod ganj in july
2017, I lost my iPhone X and on found it after an hour.
I remember carrying the phone (cohesion since
THE refers to iPhone X in the previous sentence) while entering the main gate
of the fair lager and barrel at aura vasila. After about one hour I realized
that I was not carrying the phone. My first reaction was that of despair. I
could not remember the place where I had lost the precious phone (collocation).
However (cohesion), my friend, who (adjective pronoun – cohesion) accompanies
me to the fair, advised me to report to the “lost and found section” at the
main entrance. I soon reached there (cohesion – refers to “lost and found
section”) and reported the color, brand, and model of the phone. The personnel
at the gate soon made an announcement requesting anyone who (adjective pronoun)
found the phone to report it at the main gate. To my surprise, one of the companies
which had set up a display at the fair soon reported with my iPhone. The
frustration and tension lasted for more than one hour. However (cohesion), I
was soon relieved to receive the device.
I was
very tensed because it was a gift from my brother on my birthday moreover it
was very expensive
22. A
good law in your country
·
What the law is
·
Do you follow it
·
How do you feel about this law
And explain why you like
this law.
Bright-Way’s sample
answer
I think that any
country cannot run without rules and regulations. Rules make us better
citizens. One important law that comes to my mind was passed about two three
years ago
by the ministry of health and family welfare that is Ban on Smoking
in the public places.
The law imposes strict ban on the smoking at public
places like auditoriums, hospitals,
health centers, parks, hotels, pubs,
government offices, courts, educational institutions,
libraries, roads,
shopping centers, malls, theaters, stadiums, bus stops, railway stations,
coffee houses, bars, airport lounges etc. Anyone caught smoking in public
places
or private organizations can be fined Rs200.
It is generally
seen that many people smoke and throw cigarette butts, bedis anywhere
they like
which makes the place also very dirty, it can be very dangerous as
there are
chances of catching fire. For example, the Calcutta fire recently started
from
a cigarette butt.
Although cigarette
smoking is a personal decision but when a person smokes other people
around him
also inhale smoke and they also get affected. After this rule, now all
hotels,
companies and offices should have a special smoking zone and chambers for
smokers. This rule has been imposed very strictly and cameras have been
installed
in many places to check people. I heard in the news that the famous
Indian movie
star Ajay Devgun was fined Rs1000 as he was caught smoking in
Chandigarh Airport.
In addition to this,
movies promoting smoking will have to get special certificate.
Overall, although it would be very difficult to
implement this rule in all Indian states but, I welcome this rule and I think
when so many people die due to tobacco products every year. Such action by the
government would be well appreciated by the general public
23. A
website you use frequently
·
What the website was
·
How you fund the address of this website?
·
What the website contained
·
And explain why it was useful to you.
Bright-Way’s sample answer
I think that’s a very interesting question
.There are thousands and thousands of websites
we can see these days. Although
it is very difficult to pick up one such website. but if
I had a choice I would
choose onestopenglish.com. This is a very useful website for
students learning
English. My teacher Mr. Ajayajit recommended it to me. Firstly,
its home
page is so attractive and colorful. From the home page we can go to any link
based on our requirement for example I can go to the grammar section and
I can
find information related to tenses, verbs and anything that I need to check
grammatically.
It has lots of downloads where I can download some exercises and
print them for my use.

Secondly there is an easy world news section:
in this section you can listen as to
what is happening around the world in very
easy English language. The news are
read by students from around the world. I
like when I listen to students reading news from
Japan and China. I think I
have learnt a lot from this section of the website it has helped
me to improve
my accent as well.
In addition to this there is also a lot of
material for students preparing for special tests
like IELTS, TOEFL and other
English Exams. As me and my friends have also been
preparing for IELTS I could do a reading, writing and free
listening from this section.
You can get your work checked by an expert teacher
and get feed back from the teacher.
I also like the video section of this
website. Everyday there are many funny videos
that are added to the website for
instance, I saw a video of a classroom in Japan and
it was so hilarious but at
the same I get motivated that if other students can learn English
from other
parts of the world, so can I.
Overall, I think this website is very useful
website. I talk about it to my friends, classmates, and recommend it to others
as well. You should also definitely visit this very useful website.
24. An
interesting old person you have met
·
Who was the person?
·
How you met that person?
·
Where you met him or her?
and explain why you find
him interesting?
Bright-Way’s sample answer
An elderly person who has made a great impression
on my life is the local village head (chief)
of my village. His name is Mr.
Satwant Singh and he is about 80 years old. In my opinion,
he is the
most respected man in my entire village. Everybody, right from the small
children
to grown up people, have a lot of respect for him.
As a result, He has been the village head from last 30 years.
I think I have seen my
village transforming under his dynamic leadership.
He has done so much for our village.
For instance, the small
primary school with one teacher is now a full fledge college.
So I can
say, he has brought education at our doorstep. Now, the student from our
village
don’t have to go too far away places for their studies.
He is also the man behind setting up
of a big dairy in my village which has created job
resources for people and
increased their living standard. Then, our village today boasts of
good
roads health facilities, and a park. All the credit for all these
facilities goes to this man.
Then, I like him because he leads a very
simple life and sets the right example for others. Although he does not
have his children of his own yet he pays the fee of many poor children
of my village. He is an illiterate person but he actively takes part and
promotes education camps for the adults in our village.It is his wish that
everybody in our village should be able to read and write. One more quality that needs a mention here
is that although he is in his eighties yet he is very active and healthy, he
proudly says that he has always maintained a very healthy lifestyle. Every
morning I see him taking a round of the entire village and talking to
people. Now he has a dream to set up a sports complex in the village to
provide sports facilities to the youngsters. Overall, I can just say that
we are blessed with his presence. I pray to God to grant him healthy life
wisdom to guide us in the right way.25. Something you bought but haven’t used yet
·
what
it was
·
where
you bought it
·
why
you bought it
and
explain why you didn’t use it that much.
Bright-Way’s sample answer
Though there are many things we buy after
seeing advertisement but rarely use. However
, here I would like to talk about
a product that bought but used never.
Last winters it was very cold and there were
several power cuts in my home town. That time I was preparing for my exams so I
got very upset because of no light and so I decided to buy an emergency light.
I went to the local electrical store to check
out some emergency light. The sales man showed me different kinds of emergency
light but I like the one with a CD player in it. It was red in color and
Philips brand. It had power back up of eight hours and could be charged in one
hour. Although little costly because of my need I bought it.
When I brought it home my younger
brother/sister was more interested in the CD player rather than the emergency
light . from the day I bought it there were no power cuts in my home town.
As there were no more power cuts I didn’t
used it after that day again and neither
I have seen it . I think after my IELTS test I will definitely get it out and
use when ever possible.

26. A
street market
where the market is
- what the market sells
- how big the market is
- and explain why you enjoyed visiting it.
- what the market sells
- how big the market is
- and explain why you enjoyed visiting it.
Bright-Way’s sample answer
As I have told you before, I am from a small town in
Bathinda. It’s an upcoming city which
is developing at very fast pace. As far
as shopping is concerned, I like to do all my
shopping from a popular market area
better known as “Dhobbi Bazzar” which is in the heart
of the city. Its
approximately 10 minutes drive from my house. I usually go to this market
place
in the evening or in the weekends. I must admit, a lot of city residents come
here
for shopping in the weekends and it gets very crowded.
Almost you get everything in this market right from
daily groceries, clothes, electronic
gadgets and so on. You name it and they
have it here.
The main reason I like this market is that, traffic
is restricted in this area. So we can be
carefree while shopping, specially
mothers with small children can handle their children easily.
You can take a
stroll without bothering for any accident to happen or somebody hitting you
from behind.
Secondly, you can get a good bargain here. Unlike
the super markets, where you get
everything at a fixed price. Dhobi Bazaar gets
you the best deal provided you know
how to bargain. For example, my friend
bought a mobile phone from a super marke and I bought
the same phone from
Dhobbi Bazaar and there was a huge difference in the price. Thus, it suits my
pocket and shopping becomes more fun here.
I like to usually shop in the weekend. I simply call
some of my friends and we go there together.
After shopping we like to head towards the popular
eat street in Dhobbi Bazzar. We never miss
a chance to try out something new
every-time we are here. Specially, Agra tiki house needs a special mention:
it’s a hot destination for people who love junk food.. If you happen to visit
my hometown you should definitely visit this place.
I have
noticed that recently, many new shops are coming up in Dhobbi bazzar. I feel
shopping in the future is going to be more interesting here. It’s good for the
residents of our city now, they don’t have to rush to Chandigarh or Delhi for
their shopping.
27. A
teenager you know
·
Who is she/he?
·
When you met her/him?
·
Do you like her/him?
and explain Why you like
her/him?
Bright-Way’s sample answer
There are ample youngsters I know, here I'd like to
talk about the one who is not only a teenager
but also a good friend of mine.
He is Ankur singh and he is 17 studying in high school. He is a tall and
handsome fellow. He usually wears informal attire; however, if a
situation requires him to be formal then he never forgets to be in formal
dress. He is a sharp cookie, you know, in his recent exam, he was the topper of
his class.
I know him since he born as he is paternal Uncle's
son, I mean to say he is Cousin. He often pops up whenever he wanted to clear
his doubts in his study especially in Mathematics and English subject. We both
together spend a great time on weekends, we play Chess, Table Tennis, and
Badminton. He is very good at playing all games, you won't believe me, he at
least beat me 3 games out of 5.
We both enjoy each other's company. Even though a
teenager is a stressful period of life because of physical and biological
changes, he always seems to be very active and enthusiastic in his activities.
I am really impressed with this. What's more, yeah, he is a reliable person, I
share my all secrets with him, he never reveals my secrets to anyone. This is
one of a reason that I like him. Moreover his obedient behaviors add glory to
his personality.
Lastly, I can say that he
is my favourite younger that I know in life. I will always remain his friend
cum brother.
28. Something
you made by hand to give to someone
·
What was it?
·
When you made it?
·
How long it took to
complete?
and explain how you felt for it?
I don’t usually make things by my own because
I am not very gifted in arts and crafts and so I normally don’t make
things myself. I prefer to gift people cards and flowers.
However, a few years back when I was in 9th
standard , one of my closest friends decided to immigrate to the US. On his
last birthday before leaving, I wanted to do something really, special for him.
But unfortunately, I did not have much saved
pocket money. So, I went to my mother to get some money to buy him something
expensive.
But, my mother suggested me to personally make him something rather than buying him something, which he may not even care to take with him.
But, my mother suggested me to personally make him something rather than buying him something, which he may not even care to take with him.
At that moment, I came up with an idea of
drawing a sketch of me and him together.
It took me a lot of time to come up with something satisfactory since my drawing skills were not so good.
I remember I spent nearly 4 to 5 hours making that
sketch. My mother helped me a bit too. The sketch wasn’t that good but I got it
framed and gifted it to him on his birthday.It took me a lot of time to come up with something satisfactory since my drawing skills were not so good.
I still remember his shock when he opened my present since he expected it to be a wall painting because of the shape of the present.
But after finding out what it was, his eyes swelled up with tears.
He didn’t say anything, we just hugged each other.
2 months later, when I was talking to him on face-time, I saw our portrait hanging on the wall in the background.
At that time, I realised that nothing could ever be as special as a handmade present
29. A
plant
§ Its name
§ Where it is commonly grown
§ What it looks like
§ And explain why you find it useful.
§ Bright-Way’s
sample answer
As you know, I come from Bathinda which is in the northern part of Punjab. My
area is known for producing the best sweet-lemon better known as Kinnos in the
local language.Its basically a citrus fruit which grows on the Kinno’s tree
which is about 8 feet in height. You can say its just like the orange plant if
you have seen one.
But kinnos that grow by these plants are even
more sweeter than oranges.
It takes about 4 years time for this plant to
bear fruits. The climate of our area is considered to be the ideal for
producing the sweetest kinnos in India.
The plant was first planted by a local farmer
named Kartar Singh in the 50’s by cross breeding two species of oranges. Later
he became so popular that even the first prime of India Pandit Jawharlal Nehru
honored him.
The fruit from this plants grows all round
the year but ripes in the month of Feburary or early March. It is said that the
fog in this season makes it more sweeter.
On an average a full grown plant can yield
upto 15 to 40 kgs of Kinnos. When the kinnos ripe the entire orchard turns
orange, and it’s a beautiful sight.
If you happen to pass by the orchard during
this season you can smell the strong rich orange flavor
These kinnos are mainly exported to other
countries and even transported to different parts of our county. We can get it
at a much cheaper price in the local market and everybody enjoys them in this short season.
I feel this tree is very important for the local farmers
as it has really changed their living standard by selling this popular fruit.
So this is the most important plant that is grown in my area.
30. A
dish eaten in your country on a special occasion
Due to its
large consumption, a company named Verka has started selling kheer product.
Their revenue of this product never get down and they have a lot of earning
through this product. Nowadays, the life has become more tough as no-one has a
time to cook food. So, people have started buying this product because it is so delicious,
available in cheap prices and so there is no need to wait for this item as it
is already stored in bakery stores. I am sure with a short span of time, it
will definitely be popular in foreign countries too
what it is
how you prepare it
what ingredients are used to prepare it
and explain why you enjoy it.
Actually
we are punjabies having very rich culture in food. One of the most impressive things about Punjabi food is its variety. But
here I am supposed to choose a occasional dish.
The
most traditional and occasional meal of us is a kheer, which is traditional but
still popular in all over Punjab. Now, its popularity is spreading all over the
world. It is a sweet dish which is made by rice, milk, sugar, and some dry
fruits. Dry fruits are optional in this as we can add it according to our
choice. It feels so delicious in taste as everyone want to have it at least 2
times.
It
is so popular due to its relic taste. I am sure no one ignore it once he taste
it in his life. Every festival, occasion and marriage party, it is served as a
sweet dessert. The reason I enjoy it is its taste and because I have been
eating it from my childhood
