IELTS Speaking Part 1 Getting lost
Q1. When do you concentrate?
Being a voracious reader, I concentrate a lot while reading. Apart from this, whenever I play sports, I focus a lot to get the desired result.
Q2. Do you find it difficult to concentrate?
When life gives cookies, it is easy to concentrate. Because during our purple patch out mental attitude remains in the correct shape. On the other hand, when life gives me lemons, my cognitive and physical capacity declines, and I find it challenging to focus on any task.
Q3. Do you think you can do two things at the same time?
There is no denying this conviction that one can do two to three tasks simultaneously. However, our efficiency declines when we do more than one task at one time. I sometimes engage in doing two assignments at a time when productivity doesn’t matter.
Q4. How do you concentrate?
I think concentration thrives primarily on the purpose we have. To focus more, I always work with determination, dedication and discipline. Moreover, I do not burn my willpower on trivial issues. This technique helps to get into a state of flow while working.
Q5. What do you do to improve your concentration?
To improve my concentration, I always stay away from distractions. Apart from this, I keep my things organised.
Q6.How important do you think concentration is in daily life activities?
In regular activities, I think concentration plays a vital role because we need full concentration to perform any task, and to get 100% results, we should put more concentration. I think concentration leads a person towards success and achieving their tasks.
Q7.What are some common distractions that hinder concentration nowadays?
From my perspective, I think technology is the only thing that becomes an obstacle to concentration because we have a lot of technological gadgets and widgets available. People spend most of their time using them, which hinders them from focusing on their specific tasks.
Q8.Can you share a personal experience where concentration was crucial in achieving a task or goal?
I have bought a TV frame lately, so I am figuring out how to build it. I reviewed various YouTube videos, but I still needed an idea. After focusing on the instructions on the paper, I finally found out how to do it.
At that time, I disconnected from everything, like my mobile phone; I didn’t even talk to my family members; I just paid my full attention to my work, so with this concentration, I successfully built my TV frame.
Q9.Do you believe technology hinders or helps concentration?
It could be both because we have a lot of benefits from technology. Similarly, we have drawbacks too in concentration; yes, excessive use of technology becomes an obstacle to focusing on a specific task. However, many videos on YouTube and some applications help people learn how to concentrate on specific tasks and achieve success. Yes, like technology could be a disaster and lead to success, it depends on the person and how they may use it.
Q10.How do you usually maintain your concentration when studying or working?
Well, like during study or work, the first thing I do is keep my phone aside because that’s the main thing in my life that can create a problem. In contrast, to concentrate, I keep my phone aside, and I usually tell my family members not to interrupt me while I am doing tasks so that I can concentrate on my work.
Q11.How do you think a person can improve their ability to concentrate?
There are a lot of ways by which people can nourish their concentration skills. First, meditation helps us concentrate on specific tasks because it heals our minds and removes all our stress. The first thing is meditation, and apart from that, self-motivation also leads a person to concentrate on tasks. We need a reason for doing something; it can only be self-motivation, so I believe both ways can help a person focus on a task.
Q12.Do you think meditation or mindfulness practices are effective for improving concentration?
Certainly, yes, because, as I said, meditation heals our minds, takes out all our stress, and calms our minds. There is no denying this conviction that the mind, like a calm mind, leads to success. So yes, by doing regular meditation, a person will improve their concentration skills.
Q13.How does the environment, like noise level lighting, affect your ability to concentrate?
In my ability, I have achieved a position where this kind of thing doesn’t affect me anymore. Like if there is something like my family members interrupting me, that matters a lot because like if I am doing a specific task. They disturb me in between, so I have to listen to them. Yes, this is the only thing that affects me while I am concentrating, not the noise and lighting.
Q14.What role do you think interest and motivation play in maintaining concentration?
As I mentioned, we need a reason to do any specific task, and self-motivation and intellect can help us concentrate. So, for example, I am very fond of painting. So whenever I like it, it’s my hobby, so whenever I try to do the painting, I will like it. I don’t like to tell my mind to focus on this like it’s automatically generating my mind. Like, I have to pay full attention to my work, yes you know, like rest and self-motivation play a crucial role in concentration.
Q15.Can you suggest some practical tips for someone struggling to concentrate during tasks or study sessions?
Well, if I have to give them any suggestions, I would tell them like I would suggest them to like to keep their phone aside and other technological gadgets. Besides that, meditation could lead them towards success and achieving concentration skills. And apart from that they should like to keep their mind calm and self-motivation must also be very important. So, in all these ways, I think a person struggling with concentration can improve these skills adorably.
