Some people think it is more important to spend money on roads and motorways than on public transport systems. To what extent do you agree?



It is highly debated that money should be spent on developing roads and motorways rather than on public transport systems. I partially agree with the notion since it is vital to invest in both. 


On the one hand, superior road quality fosters safety levels and eliminates traffic congestion as well. These days, governments are investing a considerable amount of money in road safety since various fatal accidents are being reported daily. Moreover, in many Indian major cities like New Delhi, Chandigarh, and Mumbai, the roads are wider these days to solve traffic issues. Undeniably, this concept will enhance facilities for the general public, and they will commute with more freedom. Therefore, the chair must invest money in roads and motorways. 


On the other hand, better public transport mediums are useful for the environment and people who cannot afford personal vehicles. A few modes of public transport like metro railways, water taxis and general buses emit less carbon atoms in the atmosphere than personal sport utility vehicles. Furthermore, major governments around the globe are investing in green energy resources such as solar and hydel power to minimize the usage of fossil fuels like petrol and diesel. Here, I choose the Delhi metro option which has suppressed the pollution level in New Delhi by eliminating the use of personal vehicles for commuting. As a result, it would be beneficial to allocate funds to mushroom public transport systems. 


To conclude, I once again reaffirmed the position that money should be well-spent not only on road infrastructure but also on public transport systems.

Part - 3 - All Cue Cards

Part 3 belongs to all new cue cards from September to December 2022. We have written the answers on our own except for one topic. Hence, we hold the copyright status of the answers written by us. 1.  Describe an object you find particularly beautiful (For example, a painting, sculpture, piece of jewellery/furniture, etc.). 1. Do   you   think   there   are   more   beautiful   things   now   than  in  the   past? In my opinion, traditional art and sculptures are much more captivating. I think in the past, it was easier for artists to find shoppers in the form of kings and nobles and they could focus on their art without any financial worries. However, today it is much harder to earn money as an artist. The art being made today also reflects that – it is done more as a hobby rather than as a profession and the works produced are far behind those of the past. Moreover, nowadays artists rely on machine work instead of handmade items.  2.   Do you think there are many scenic spots in India

Speaking Part 1 - January to April 2023

  Fast Food and Break Fast What do you have for breakfast? I prefer to have my favourite food items during the first meal of the day. Usually, I like wheat bread with freshly cooked vegetables like Okra, Turnip, beans and cauliflower. Along with this, I love to take a cup of tea. However, during weekends, my mother cooks stuffed bread for me, and amongst all these bread types, my favourite one is potato-filled bread with curd and homemade butter.  Do you eat fast food? Yes, I do, but once a fortnight, I prefer to have it. It is owing to the bad cholesterols present in junk food materials. In this category, I find cheese burst pizza, garlic bread and white sauce Italian pasta mouth-watering.  What are the different kinds of fast food in your country? Name them. India has an ocean of fast food materials. For instance, Chinese, Italian and American fast materials are the most popular ones in India. Moreover, we have traditional fast foods as well.  The first one is a savoury stuffed pastr

We also observe the copyright status of answers given here.  Name  Is it easy for you to remember people’s names?  Yes, I always find it easy to remember the names of people since I have an elephant's memory. Moreover, I can easily memorise the mobile number of people.  However, I find it difficult when I have to recall the names of those who are from another culture, especially East and South Indian, owing to their uniqueness.   Do you do anything to help you remember people’s names?  Not all the time, I think it is necessary to use anything in remembering people’s names. More specifically, if the people are from my province Punjab, then I can remember easily because of similarity; however, if the people are from another culture, then I prefer to write their names on my pocket diary to remember them.  How do you feel when people can't remember your name?  I don’
