  • when you listen to it
and explain why you think this particular radio programme is so interesting.

[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]


Model Answer 1: 
After seeing the widespread use of television, I thought that radio was going to be extinct sooner rather than later. But, with the introduction of FM radio as well as some interesting programmes, aired by them, it looks like radio is trying to make a comeback. However, today, I would like to talk about one such programme, which I find really interesting.

It is a programme on “improving communication skills” for young job seekers. I have been listening to this programme for about a year, which is aired at around 7:00 pm on Saturday every week. The programme, consisting of 3 different segments, runs for about an hour.

In the first segment of the programme, a group of successful professionals from different job sectors joins the host of this programme where the professionals try to answer different kinds of “communication” related questions in light of their professional experience. Sometimes, participating professionals also try to explain different communication protocols for different industries. In the second segment of the programme, the audience of the programme gets to ask the guest professionals an array of professional communication-related questions which are then answered as clearly as possible, one after another, by the participants.

In the third and final part of the program, which I like the most, a mock-up conversation takes place in a professional set-up among different professional individuals in order to highlight the errors in communication as well as correct them in real time. At the end of the programme, the host leaves the programme after asking some quizzes to the followers of this programme in order for them to be answered via mail or email in the following week.

Anyway, I think, this particular radio programme is really interesting because it has managed to show how effective communication can change our professional life and experience. Besides, I find it interesting also because, among many other things, this programme also teaches us that the majority of our world’s problems would have just vanished instantly if we had known how to communicate with each other properly.



Sample Answer 2:
For this nice candidate task card topic, I would like to talk about a radio programme that I find incredibly interesting. It's a science and technology-focused radio show called "Tech Talk," which airs every Sunday morning on a local radio station in our country.

"Tech Talk" is a weekly radio programme that delves into various aspects of science and technology. It covers a wide range of topics, from the latest innovations in the tech industry to scientific breakthroughs. The show is hosted by a team of enthusiastic and knowledgeable hosts who have a deep passion for the subject matter.

I tune in to "Tech Talk" quite regularly, typically every Sunday morning. It has become somewhat of a ritual for me. I usually listen to it while having my morning coffee and breakfast. The timing is perfect since I have a bit of free time on Sunday mornings, and listening to this programme is a great way to start my day.

What makes "Tech Talk" so interesting to me is its ability to break down complex scientific and technological concepts into understandable and engaging discussions. The hosts have a talent for making even the most intricate topics accessible to the general public. Whether they are discussing the latest developments in artificial intelligence, space exploration, or eco-friendly technologies, they do it in a way that piques my interest and makes me want to learn more. Additionally, they often feature interviews with experts in various fields, adding real-world insights to the discussions. The show's content is not only educational but also relevant to our daily lives, as it explores how these advancements impact our society, the environment, and our future.

As someone who has a keen interest in science and technology, I find "Tech Talk" both informative and enjoyable. It keeps me updated with the latest trends and discoveries in these fields. Moreover, it encourages critical thinking and curiosity, motivating me to explore these topics further on my own. In essence, "Tech Talk" is not just a radio programme; it's a learning experience and a source of inspiration for me.
