I start my day with a cup of homemade tea I have always been a tea lover since my childhood I think it is not just a drink, it is culture, it is emotion, so in India we used to have the artist a cup twice a day in the morning with breakfast and another at any time of the day, mainly at night, which is why tea is very popular. in your home country yes it is available literally on every street corner and people have it from time to time and we have it in different flavors and they also add a little ginger to it, it tastes delicious, that's interesting, so what ? drink that you would offer to the guests at home uh and in season we offer tea to anyone who comes to our house but if it's a short visit during summers we just offer them a cold drink or fruit juices or just a homemade lemonade like that when was the last time you had a cup of tea oh this morning this morning very good, let's move on to the second part of the oral exam.

I'll tell you when time is up. Can you start talking now? Please, one of the busiest places I've ever been was Central.

Market in town um I went with some friends to see the celebrations there and I couldn't believe how many people I saw that night, most people went there to see the fireworks show and the crowd was huge, people just I danced, I drank, I ate. They were just having fun having the time of their lives. We went there around 10pm. a few hours before midnight and we thought it would be busy but nothing prepared us for such a huge crowd and then we saw that the traffic was very slow. We approached the city center and the central River Bridge and as we approached the bridge we could see that the police had cordoned off several city blocks so we had to get out of the car and walk the rest of the way. road and it took us uh 15 to 20 minutes to reach our destination and on the way, when I got hungry, I bought some food for myself and finally we arrived at the Central Plaza, there were so many people that the streets were filled and they were just happy to be enjoying and then there was a fantastic lighting display that lit up the iconic buildings and the whole sky was sparkling with fireworks and then we all counted down to midnight and then we looked at each other and wished each other a happy new year.

And those were the most beautiful fireworks I've ever seen in my life and I'm so glad I did it right. Would you go there again this year? Oh yeah, like I mentioned, I had my friends over, yeah, yeah, and we've planned to go. We get our hair and nails done and I'm going to buy a dress for the event. I can not wait. I'm excited. That sounds great. Would you say that most cities in your country are overcrowded? Yes, I believe it, like all of us. We know that India is the second most populous country in the world and I think the main reason for the high population density is that people move from smaller towns in rural areas to bigger cities in search of jobs and better living conditions, which creates a hustle and bustle in the cities and also due to political instability and you know, the streets in India are very narrow and people keep building illegal shops and houses which makes the area even more congested and Due to improper enforcement of traffic laws, people bite their people. their bikes and cars everywhere, so I think it just adds to the problem.

So what are some of the problems that can result from overcrowded liver conditions in a typical metropolitan city when trying to concentrate such a high population in a congested area? I think the result is a higher level of pollution, both noise and air, obviously there will be more motorized vehicles, which will result in more polluted air and more traffic noise because traffic crawls in our city and another problem would be, I think, the vulnerability to diseases like during the At the time of greed I saw that it was very difficult to maintain social distancing, especially in the markets if you are in India because of the huge crowds everywhere, and then there are other reasons why lack of space also has a direct effect on your psychological and physical health. growth as well and then, you know, exploitation of resources leads to inflation and then there is lack of access to services like clean water or sanitation, which leads to more diseases, increase in the rate of diseases in India and I think the Crime rate also increases in your country. opinion What are some solutions to this problem?

I don't know exactly one solution could be to build better infrastructure. These cities should provide better and safer housing for the people as almost 50 per cent of Mumbai's population lives in slums. I mean, they offer a great plot. because he feels sorry for the poor and the lovely unfortunates because of liberal writings, but no one tries to improve the situation or provide a solution. The serious consequences of overpopulation

must

be addressed by the government. The government should take measures to regulate the crowd in some way. some spread the population even the roads are very narrow and even when they try to build flyovers a project like that takes at least four to five years to complete in India and during that time the population doubles and then another one is needed overpass. and I think it is important to control the flow of people and for that you first need to understand where the flow comes from.

I think in short term solutions like during festivals, we celebrate a lot of festivals throughout the year, so if you have proper planning how to disperse the crowd? You can avoid it. Can you compare the advantages and disadvantages of living in a high-rise apartment? I can't say much because I've never lived in one, but I think it will be fun as all the people were. By living in the same building, you'll have a diverse neighborhood, you'll socialize more, you'll interact more with people, and if you're a fan of nice views, people in big cities are starving for food.

Views of the sky, so I think if you are living in the best apartments, you can enjoy beautiful views of the cities and obviously you will have the benefit of living a quieter life, because there will be no traffic or street noise there up and yes, I think that's like that and also live. in such buildings it is considered luxurious in India, so you have that and these advantages would be. I think getting in and out would be a big stress on you if you have a lot of furniture and I think another problem would arise if you are suffering from a medical condition or medical emergency such as if one of your family members has high blood pressure or arthritis, so it's not favorable for them to live on the 20th floor, at least um other than that, I think the elevators are slow in some buildings. you're a problem if you're in a hurry you have to get somewhere on time uh that could be your problem other than that I think it would be fun that's very good and we've reached the end of this oral test thank you thank you
