okay good that's nice

and uh today did you get a chance to go

through the session material

yes

okay so can you tell me the names of a

few big cities that you have been to

i think uh bangalore's bangalore is only

a big city i can say

and uh i don't know exactly

how many

bids so back in rajasthan have you been

in any big cities there

i've been to jaipur

ah that's that's a big city that can be

an example

and uh and all others i don't think so

okay so bangalore and jaipur these are

the two big cities and what about small

towns have you visited any small towns

on your vacations with your parents

no

in location my father has a test which

is more harder than board exam

so we are not going

okay uh i mean your previous vacations

before this

before this i don't remember any

okay all right

so in your opinion based on whatever you

know about a big city and a small town

which one do you prefer where would you

like to stay

i would like to stay in a small town

uh if you once you give your opinion you

should always support it with reasons

okay now that you gave your opinion that

you have to you want to live in a small

town you have to support it with two or

three reasons that way your answer will

be complete okay

uh they will be less trying there'll be

not much pollution that is it as it is

small

there will be no shenanigans

comfortable and it can also be sea rain

yeah it can be a very serene life

fantastic great

so

these are the advantages of a small town

right can you tell me some disadvantages

of living in a small town

there will be no facility there will not

be much facilities and we may take

to do a work

sorry can you please repeat that

sentence i couldn't hear you

yes there will not be much facilities so

we will have

so it will take more time to do work to

do our work

it will not be fast it will be slow

okay so uh if and what about electricity

and medical care and what about those

things

and those things also

uh so uh okay and what are the

advantages of living in a big city

there will be more facilities

there will be electricity there will be

water water supply

there

and watch washing machine

and all other facilities

okay so don't you think you'll be able

to get it in a small town also if you

order it

we will be able to get but how old can

we get by ordering

be more

right

sorry there will be no

phone in a small town right

no no there will be you will have your

mobile phones right so these days even

in villages uh people have uh people are

equipped with mobile phones so you will

be able to contact people

so we can have

yeah okay

so um

uh do you like geography as a subject

i

i'm

geography i like history a bit more

okay so is it easy for you to uh

remember dates and events and relate

them with each other

i

historical books and

very books in the past written and all

those things are interesting

okay so what is your favorite event uh

from history

favorite remains well we are really just

introduced

to history

convince them by some things

and i also remember something that

there was a woman who lost

this uh some

i also know something like that or i can

also i don't remember exactly that about

that story which was written in the book

where i found it

i don't know

exactly

okay all right

so uh now coming to the topic of again

cities and towns and all of that you

have lived in bangalore all your life

right

almost all my life

okay so uh which is your favorite part

of the city where do you like to go to

uh

during the weekends or whenever you guys

have free

time i would like to go to my balcony

outside of your house like

amusement parks restaurants uh any area

where you can play with your siblings so

those kind of things i'm saying

i would like to go to iowa i would like

to

i would like to

i would like to go to the place where my

balcony from the balcony where i see

that i'll go there

near my house ah

okay no that's a vague answer so during

the weekends do you go out with your

parents um do you go to hotels

restaurants or some areas where you can

just play outside of your house

we go to malls but i won't

i like to go there we go we go

[Music]

so you don't like any place malls

restaurants not even parks

no

but i like the leslie from the balcony

so i'll go there

but don't you think it's boring every

day if you're just sitting at the

balcony and missing out on all the

beautiful things that the world has to

offer i don't think that will be boring

okay so why don't you like to go to

parks there you can play with your

siblings no

parks

i'm talking that banane park and doll

something something

the national park you don't like that

no national park i don't know about this

park i don't remember its name but yeah

it's a place

where there's trees and people come to

watch and go okay okay

i don't know uh i had been to the

banegata national park so there were a

lot of wild animals i could see

that's one of my favorite spots actually

so if you get some time um you can

convince your parents and you guys can

have a small outing it's a beautiful

place

okay

yeah

yeah so i don't like parks because there

are also people people there who and

this was

see everything not roam around here

awesome so what do you like to do at

your balcony do you draw paint or

what do you do there

i simply when the there was a swing in

our balcony i would like to sing there

in the balcony but my mother did not

told that this is not this you're grown

up so she took out this strange thing so

i thought that was

so i

so what could i do in the balcony i can

just

stare at the

beautiful

things so i can see from the balcony but

i can search it and simply enjoy myself

okay awesome so you enjoy your own

company that's amazing that's good right

okay so uh uh just a small correction

here havisha when you say i would like

to go to it is normally in the future

tense it means something that you wish

to do okay but the swing in the balcony

you had it in the past right you have to

say that i liked to

uh swing there okay we had a swing

i like to sit on the swing and spend my

time there so would like to is in the

future tense in this case you have to

use the past tense but now i don't have

the swing so i'm telling in future tense

only that in future i would like to

swing again

okay okay you're saying that in the

future you would like to do it okay

perfect then it's right

okay i thought you were talking about a

past incident all right okay so how much

time do we have we have uh

just a minute or something so i'll just

give you some uh vocabulary

recommendations instead of saying there

are not much facilities it's not wrong

it's correct only uh the better word

choice would be uh there is a lack of

facilities a lack of which means there

are there are not many

okay so this is the first one and second

a synonym for facilities would be

amenities a-m-e-n-i-t-i-e-s

so instead of repeating the same word

over and over again facilities

facilities you can say amenities all

right so this is the second and third

when you were narrating the story about

the beggar coming to the stage to ask

for something you said that the state

said no

again there's nothing wrong in this

sentence but if you want to make it

simpler you can simply say that the

stage refused to help

okay so these are the three

recommendations did you understand all

three

i hope it was clear

any questions you need to communicate if

you have any questions i would be happy

to repeat it

okay my question is that

today i think you have

yeah you have put lipstick right

i always wear lipstick

okay

yeah

you always say

is this your bed where you sleep

oh yes yes this is the bed where i sleep

at what time do you sleep

uh i sleep normally at 12 am or 12 30 am

i do not recommend that to you you sleep

early okay please

okay

so at what time do you wake up

i wake up at around say 7 a.m 7 7 30 8

somewhere between 7 to 8.

oh that's pretty great so

what made you sleep 12 a.m that's too

late you know not having so much club in

those sessions right

uh it's that my work ends at 11 p.m and

after that i want to spend some quiet

time so i just read something or i watch

some interesting shows

so that stretches out for like one one

and a half hours

okay so your clapping position just

going or goes on continuously 11 o'clock

no no no i take a break i take an hour

break in between to have my dinner to

prepare dinner and to have dinner not

one or two hours actually okay

yeah at what time do you have your

dinner

i don't have any time i can say 7 8

o'clock till i was just after having our

sister

about to have my dinner

but i found that you know my class is

about to start so

unfortunately i have to

go

inside

because of the session you could not

have your dinner okay

so right now i think after the session

immediately and you'll go and eat

something right

yes

did you have your dinner

not yet not yet i'll have it at 9 00 p.m

9 00 pm

is that too late

nine pm am i saying 19 is the time to

sleep

oh yeah for you it is right so have your

dinner early and go to bed early okay

you don't stay up late

okay

so

you

i can see you don't sleep the whole

night because

another day starts right

ah logically yes you're right

so you don't sleep the whole night

you know i sleep get a good

six to seven or seven to eight hours of

sleep i think that's more than enough

for me

so yeah you sleep late so you can get up

late so why do you get up at seven

o'clock or six o'clock

i don't get up at six o'clock i wake up

at seven o'clock seven thirty or eight

somewhere in this hour yeah

okay seven to eight

seven to eight why do you get up you can

sleep for ten o'clock also

no no no i have to clean my house i have

to prepare breakfast i have to have my

breakfast so there are a lot of things

to complete before work starts so that's

why i have to wake up child's wife right

no no no i'm not married yet

i live alone away from my parents so uh

everything we have to do on our own so

yeah

oh so that's why i think that you have

so much time and all so why are you away

from your parents and you have not

married i know you told your friend

you're not okay

and tell me what's wrong and why you

never said

[Music]

it hurts too much
