In IELTS Writing Task 1, a bar chart is a graphical representation of data using rectangular bars or columns. Each bar corresponds to a specific category, and the length of the bar represents the quantity or value associated with that category. The primary purpose of describing a bar chart is to analyze and report the key features, trends, and comparisons within the data. It could involve various types of bar charts, including single or multiple bars, grouped bars, or stacked bars, each presenting different aspects of information. When responding to a bar chart in IELTS Task 1, candidates are expected to provide a clear overview and detailed analysis of the data, using appropriate vocabulary and structure to convey the information accurately.

Topic: Globalisation. Task 2: Movie Task 3: Movies Candidate: Subhash (LTC student)
This is a live transcript from one of the Lifestyle Training Centre IELTS mock tests.
Speaking TASK 1.
Examiner: What, according to you, is globalization?
Subhash: In my opinion, globalization means that international communications and relations are related to all aspects, like in business as well as in cultural transactions. Through globalization, people can travel anywhere, leave without fear of any religious bullying, or do any business internationally and can furnish their prospects.
Examiner: What are some examples of how globalization has affected an economy?
Subhash: Economy, globalization can affect in both ways, both negative as well as in positive ways. Like in the rise of international markets in India, for example, they have spoiled small-scale industrial. They damage the business of all major small-scale industries. On the other aspects, some developing countries like India have extended their business to other nations like Africa as well as other parts, for example, Tata. They have business in 200 countries. So that brings prosperity to our country, not only for the industries but for the nation. It’s beneficial.
Examiner: In what ways has globalization influenced cultural exchange?
Subhash: What I believe is that once a person or a corporate company wants to do business in other countries, they must learn about their beliefs, their sentiments, and the person who wants to do business or start any start-up there must respect their cultural practices. This is the basis to start a business. Otherwise, there can be violence, many disturbances. Then the business will not flourish.
Examiner: Do you think that technology has anything to do with the process of globalization?
Subhash: Technology can do many things. It can bring much impact on globalization. For example, the transmission of guidance as well as supervision. It can be a positive impact on the business.
Examiner: What impact has globalization on job markets?
Subhash: In my opinion, globalization can bring a lot of job opportunities to the market. People who are eligible with a particular skill as well as language fluency can afford any job at any time. They can travel anywhere and pursue their career.
Examiner: Do you believe that globalization has narrowed cultural diversity in some sense?
Subhash: I don’t believe that globalization has brought up a cultural shrinking because any institution or entrepreneur who wants to do business must respect and include employees and faculties from different cultural practices. That’s an ultimate benefit to their firm or company. If they hire employees from a single religion or region, there won’t be much brainstorm.
Examiner: In what ways has globalization affected environments?
Subhash: Environment, the only natural thing I could say about globalization because it has damaged the environment. It has exploited the environment vigorously in the past few decades. Environmental pollution and global warming are at the peak now. But the only reason I could comment is globalization and how it has affected people’s lifestyles.
Examiner: How can individuals adapt to the changes posed by globalization?
Subhash: In my opinion, every individual has an influence of globalization, and they influence how much time for family sentiments. They’re all running after procuring their career and fortune. Relations have less value compared to the past years. Family get-togethers and communications are a phenomenon nowadays. In the past years, it used to happen every now and then, and the relation between blood relations and siblings were more.
TASK 2:
Topic: A Favorite Movie
Question 14: Describe your favorite movie. You should say: What is the title and who directed it? When did you watch it? What is the plot, and why do you like it? Have you recommended it to others?
Subhash: My favorite movie is “The Godfather,” directed by the eminent Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola, who is also the father of Nicolas Cage. I first watched this movie a few years ago while I was in Kuwait, thanks to the availability of movies on Netflix. “The Godfather” is a series of five movies, depicting the story of Italian mafias who migrated to America and conquered the business world through intimidation and violence.
The plot revolves around a dispute between two mafia kings, leading to a mass shooting massacre and the killing of one of the mafia king’s friend. Despite the prevalence of violence throughout the movie, the direction, editing, and cinematography are executed in a wonderful way that keeps the audience engaged. The story unfolds in New York City, portraying the lives of different mafia families and their struggles for dominance.
I have watched “The Godfather” around five or six times, and despite its lengthy duration, I never get bored. The language barrier, often associated with such movies, is overcome by the captivating plot and brilliant execution. Each shot in the movie is carefully crafted, contributing to its overall appeal.
I recommend all young individuals to watch this movie if they want to gain insights into the film industry. I find this movie to be a captivating watch, and it has left a lasting impression on me. It’s a cinematic masterpiece that offers a unique perspective on storytelling and filmmaking.
TASK 3. Follow-up questions: Interviewer: How often do you watch movies?
Subhash: I’ll watch movies once in a week or twice because I’m working in a hospital. Now, when I help the different shifts, I don’t have much time to spend on movies or any other kind of entertainment. Because whenever I have an off, I have house chores to finish. I have to wash my clothes and iron. But whenever I fill a three-hour gap, then definitely I sit for a movie.
Interviewer: Do people in your hometown watch a lot of movies?
Subhash: Yeah, definitely they do because it’s one of the popular entertainment options in my hometown. There are around three to four theaters, and every whole weekend, especially on Saturday and Sunday, we cannot even drive through that particular area because of the rush made by the movie enthusiasts.
Interviewer: Do you prefer watching movies at home or do you go to a theater?
Subhash: I watch movies on my laptop or television because, as I mentioned before, I don’t have much time to go out on my holidays or off days. But when I was a student, I used to go to the theater to watch a movie with my friends. During that time, I had plenty of time and didn’t have many responsibilities. The only responsibility my parents had for me was to study the subject. After that, I was free.
Interviewer: How have movies influenced your character so far?
Subhash: I don’t think that any character changes have occurred to me by watching movies. I thank God I have the skill to differentiate between movies and real life. I consider movies just as a story instead of absorbing them into my own life, so I escape from that kind of illusion. This is what I would call discernment.

While typing speed is not the sole determinant of success in the Pearson Test of English (PTE), it is an essential skill to perform well in certain sections of the test. PTE assesses various language skills, including speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Here’s a comprehensive answer for your question:
The Role of Typing Speed in PTE Success
Introduction:
In the Pearson Test of English (PTE), proficiency in the English language is evaluated across multiple skills, encompassing speaking, writing, reading, and listening. While typing speed is not the only factor influencing your performance, it holds significance in specific sections of the test.
The Importance of Typing Speed:
1. Writing Section: – In the writing section, where tasks include essay writing and summarizing written texts, a reasonable typing speed contributes to your ability to articulate thoughts coherently within the given time constraints.
2. Speaking Section: – Although the speaking section involves verbal responses, some tasks, such as repeating sentences or describing images, may require quick and accurate typing.
Balancing Speed and Accuracy:
1. Writing Quality: – It’s crucial to strike a balance between speed and accuracy. While a faster typing speed is advantageous, maintaining a high level of accuracy ensures that your responses are error-free and convey your intended meaning effectively.
2. Time Management: – PTE is a timed test, and effective time management is key. A moderate typing speed, coupled with efficient planning, allows you to complete tasks within the allocated time without compromising on quality.
Overall Language Proficiency:
1. Multifaceted Evaluation: – PTE evaluates a broad spectrum of language skills, including vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and comprehension. Proficiency in these areas collectively determines your performance in the test.
2. Practice and Preparation: – While typing speed is a valuable asset, it is equally important to focus on overall language proficiency through consistent practice, exposure to diverse English materials, and familiarity with the test format.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, while a reasonable typing speed is beneficial for specific tasks in the PTE, success in the test relies on a holistic approach to language proficiency. By honing various language skills and maintaining a balanced approach to typing speed and accuracy, you can enhance your overall performance in the PTE.
