ANSWER: IS WATCHING THE T.V POPULAR IN YOUR COUNTRY?

^{Well, in actual fact if I think about that I guess that in many ways. As of now/ currently/ presently/ with regards to my country, watching television has become an indispensable part of our life. Nevertheless, thanks to the emergence, of the social net works like face book, twitter, we witness a steady decrease in the   number of T.V. watching youth. At the same time, in the villages the television, still, looms large.  Howev er, this growing trend of youth dwindling away from the T.V. is symptomatic of what lay in store, I am afraid.  I mean people of the village also no sooner than later would turn to the social networks.}

^{However, I would say that as of now T.V. is popular in my country, be that as it may, it wouldn’t be so in the foreseeable future. ..}

MOVIES IN FUTURE-ANSWER

Movies in future

Nowadays 2D movies are popular (we largely, run 2D movies).  I mean, movies having length and width but bereft of depth. But as you know, in (next to) no time technology    got   developed into 3D movies complete with depth where the characters do not get stuck to a screen alone. They  on the other hand , pop out of the screen! Such movies are gaining headway/ momentum to the extent that they would eventually outdo the traditional two-dimensional movies.

But more importantly, the real catch word / buzz word of the next generation would be    4D movies. (Chances are that 4D movies would steal the show/steal the limelight.).

They would give you more exciting realistic view (transport you to a wonder world of virtual reality) complete with chair effect and hall effect.

With regards to chair effect, you may feel the vibration of a train as you watch it. Similarly, as you watch a war scene or an earth quake scene your chair might sway you from side to side/backward or forward or may get tilted.

Hall Effect might tickle your fancy. I mean, if somebody shoots water from the screen, it would hit you right on your face or plume/thin layer/of smoke might billow out from the screen to the hall! You might experience a flash of lightening just out there very close to you and tears would well up in your ears as an actress chops an onion on the screen. But as of now such movies are     at the experimental stage, available only at certain shopping malls and amusement parks specially designed for them.

Normally, I get up by quarter past 5 but yesterday as my IELTS examinations were close at hand/around the  corner I woke up nearly an hour early and got ready for my preparations. Till noon I strained every nerve to get mastery over the language/proficiency in English.    

Well, with regards to my studies, as far as I am concerned, `Reading’ modules is literally a tough nut to crack. Consequently, I got heavily involved in that module. I mean, I did the same reading two times, wrote an essay. Then, my brother conducted a speaking mock test for me. That is how I spent my time till noon.

( name of the hero)..and invariably watch all his movies. So not to mention, I enjoyed every bit of it.

 On reaching home back I hurriedly completed my domestic chores and continued my intensive test preparations. After night prayers and supper that followed I spent a couple of hours quality time with my children. Then, retired pretty early as I needed a sound sleep prior to this test day. That  is how I spent my time yesterday.

HOME TOWN QUESTIONS-ANSWERS - 1

HOME TOWN/BIRTH PLACE

Where do you live at this moment?

Presently/currently, I live in Muvattupuzha, a medium- sized town located almost ……kilometers away from here (the examination center)

Well, I am from Muvattupuzha,(in Keala), located in the extreme South of my country-India and my hometown falls almost in the middle of my state, Kerala, to be precise.

3.       Do you think your home town is a good place for young people? (Why?)

Muvattupuzha, in fact, is a fitting place for all regardless of their age.  For youngsters, it is obviously, an appropriate place. Being a youngster, I adore my hometown as it offers all that I need. First of all, being a town it is equipped with almost all modern facilities ranging from shopping complexes to highly esteemed educational institutions with   state-of-the-art-facilities. It has got an ambiance of a country town, nevertheless.  It would, probably because  it has got calm, green and sleepy village outskirts. This cool ambiance, unaffected by the hustle and bustle of the town, in fact makes it conducive to academic  endeavors which in turn, has prompted people to start Colleges and other such institutions here. Moreover, Muvattupuzha is also blessed with quick access to internet, cinemas not to mention, mobile range. Proximity to the industrial capital of the state-Kochi is another added advantage of my home town.   Kochi, you know  is hardly an hour drive away from here. Well, all these make Muvattupuzha an adorable place for youngsters.
