All right, Bushra, we're going to go through parts two and three.
Yeah.
All right.
Here's your part to describe a tall building in your hometown that you like or dislike, whereas where
this building is, what it looks like, what is used for.
And explain why you like or dislike this building.
You have one minute to prepare.
Okay.
Time's up.
Please stop.
You now have 2 minutes to speak and you may begin now.
Okay.
I'm going to talk about a very interesting building that is situated in our city.
And the city I'm talking about is Ahmedabad, situated in the Gujarat state and about this building.
It is a cloud tower block, and it is situated in the middle part of the area known as Collingwood,
and it has the digital ancient looking clock situated on the top of the tower and it has a Roman number
encrypted in this, and it dates back to like many years, like 50 years.
And since when I was a kid I used to see that building and mainly it was it was used for the main purpose
of the building was to to
to give the specific time for the visitors if they are visiting.
And due to its height, it can be seen from a very long distance, from very long distance also.
And so nowadays, many, many food stores have been installed nearby.
So people can gather that and have a quality time spent there.
And I like this building because it has some heritage value and it connects to connects to the route
of the establishment of the of the area, which has been forgotten quite which has been forgotten since
long.
And so
it is it has a very special value in in my city.
Okay.
Let's move on to part three.
All right.
Now, please don't look at your screen.
First question, will it become more common to live in heights?
Will it become more common to live in high rise buildings in the future?
Yes, I think so, because as the population has been increasing day by day and so the need for housing
is also increasing.
And due to the lack of the lack of the land nowadays, builders are building tall buildings so they
can accumulate a large number of the people in small areas and they can also provide different amenities
also in a small income in compact area only.
All right, next question.
Is it better to expand the existing city or to build a new one?
Well, according to me, for which everything has a limit.
And I think that if we can extend it, it will be a great idea.
So we can be more near to the nature in the life of the nature, and we can have more land and we can
have different opportunities to build a new buildings which are not which which which is impossible
to build in the old cities, like due to the lack of space, we cannot have a play area or a children's
parks, but if we extend or expand our surroundings and then the rural area in the rural areas, then
we can we can have these facilities.
Okay.
And final question.
Should the people in charge of city development consult with the local residents
so they can repeat it?
Sure.
Should the people in charge of city development consult with the local residents?
Of the city where I am living.
It is.
I do not think that they consult with the residents, but I think it's a good idea if if the residents
are involved in the city.
City building and restructuring.
Then they can help.
They can help in building more model, more facilitator societies, the like.
They can explain their shortcoming, their shortcomings, which they are facing right now, and also
the lack of amenities.
They can they can say it very clearly.
And according to the according to this, the city the city consultant can lay out a plan and they can
they can give a better life to the people.
All right, Bushra, thank you very much.
My number one advice, Bushra, is take a deep breath and relax.
Some some sometimes.
So sometimes you're like you almost going to run out of breath, right?
You're obviously going to run out of breath.
You know, relax because because you actually have really good fluency.
You have really good pronunciation.
But sometimes you're you're you're you're running out of breath.
You're running out of breath.
So relax.
Number two, do not say, according to me, when you're speaking on your writing, that is not proper
English.
I know you probably have heard that.
I know you've heard people say, according to me, but that is in proper lexical, improper lexical
phrase, don't use it.
Right.
I believe in my opinion, I suppose.
Right.
There are other things you can say, but don't say according to me.
Don't say according to me a couple of times.
There's a little bit of pausing and hesitation, but it's it didn't really take away from from coherence.
Some of that dealt with you running out of breath and needing to catch your breath or whatever.
But I think your fluency your fluency was really well done.
I don't know if somebody somewhat the topic was memorized.
I don't believe that because nobody sees these topics beforehand in terms of she she just has really
good fluency and good pronunciation.
Somebody might somebody might think that my my responses are memorized and they're not.
If you have good fluency in pronunciation, you know, it may sound that way, but I can tell that was
not memorized.
Yeah, I mentioned about the arms and all, but overall a really good job, Bushra, and thank you for
participating.
Thank you.
Turn off your audio and video, please.
All right.
My next person is Jan.
Jan, I'm going to turn on.
