News plays a vital role in our lives, and people must listen to the news to stay updated. Here, I would like to talk about international news I have heard recently.


  • What is the news about?


The news was about the recent cap on study and spouse visas by the Canadian government to escalate the working scenario there. Moreover, this news was all about curbing the housing crisis as well.


  • Where and when you heard it?


I exactly remember was I came back to my hometown from Rishikesh on a train named the Ganga-Sutlej Express. My father was listening to this news on his cell phone, and then I also watched it. Hence, I listened to this news near Dehradun. 


  • What were you doing when you heard the news?


As I mentioned, we all were coming back to our hometown on a train after paying obeisance at Rishikesh, which is also known as the Yoga Capital of the World. Moreover, we all were having healthy discussions when I suddenly started listening to this news on my father's cellphone. 


  • Explain how you felt about this piece of international news.


I was happy after listening to this news for a set of reasons:


  1. Firstly, the cap is part of broader measures to ensure the quality of education and address issues like rental apartment shortages, which have led to a significant increase in rents nationwide. Hence, this capping will help international students to get accommodations easily at pocket-friendly rates.
  2. Secondly, it is the best idea for the Canadian Government to provide jobs for international students who are struggling hard to grab the best job opportunities. Thus, this capping will enable them to make ends meet by getting good jobs.

Part 3 – Follow-up Questions

What is your newspaper reading style?

The custom of reading the newspaper turned into a habitual exercise for me when I was preparing for my MBA entrance exam. MBA entrance exam candidates are required to have extensive knowledge of current affairs to pass the exam. Thus, I focused on reading the national and international news sections, financial news sections and editorials, and this practice has stuck with me ever since. Although I skip the sports section most of the time as I am not a sports enthusiast, I like to go over it every once in a while.

Do you think reading international news is important?

Yes, I strongly believe that being au courant about the various social, political and financial events around the world is crucial in this day and age. We reside in the era of globalization, where every nation and economy are interconnected. Therefore, if a significant incident has occurred in a particular country, the effects of the same will be felt by the entire world. Thus, being knowledgeable about international affairs is vital for everyone.

The news that you have described, do you think it will impact the world? If yes, then How?

Yes, I believe that the declaration of war by Russia on Ukraine will unequivocally change the world in terms of international politics and foreign relations. One of the primary reasons for such a change is the formation of allies in this particular war between Russia and Ukraine. Several countries have voiced their support for Ukraine, including the United States of America. Thus, it can be said that the world will be greatly impacted by this unfortunate turn of events.

How do most people get their news in your country?

Typically, people catch their daily news through news channels or by reading the newspaper. Reading the newspaper has always been the predominant method of learning about the affairs around the world. However, with the advancement in technology, news reports can also be accessed on the internet. Presently, reading the news through online platforms is becoming more prevalent.

How do you think people will get their news in the future?

As we progress further into the 21st century, human civilization has accomplished countless technological marvels. Today, newspapers and even news channels on television are going out of vogue. In this era, people are more inclined to catch up on the daily news through their smartphones while carrying out their routine activities. Therefore, I believe that in the future, people will entirely depend on the Internet for news and press releases.

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

  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
