---

SET 1: Hometown & Neighbourhood

1. Where are you from?

I'm from Barahathawa Municipality, Ward Number 1, in Sarlahi District, which is in Madhes Province. It's a rural area, but it has its own unique charm and character.

2. Can you describe your hometown?

My hometown is a peaceful and agricultural region. Most people there are farmers, and the landscape is mostly flat with green fields. It's not a big city, but it's very lively during festivals and local markets. The community is close-knit and supportive, which I really appreciate.

3. What do you like most about your hometown?

What I like most is the simplicity and the strong community bonds. People know each other, and there's a sense of belonging. I also love the open spaces and the fresh air, which is quite different from crowded cities.

4. Are there any disadvantages of living in your hometown?

To be honest, yes. There are limited educational and healthcare facilities. For instance, if you need specialised medical tests or coaching for competitive exams, you have to travel to bigger cities like Kathmandu or Birgunj. Also, job opportunities are quite scarce, especially for young people.

5. Would you like to live there in the future?

I would love to live there eventually, but not immediately. Since I want to become a Radiologist, I need to move to cities for my studies and training. However, in the long run, I'd like to give back to my community by providing better healthcare services there.

---

SET 2: Home & Accommodation

1. What kind of house do you live in?

I live in a traditional family house made of bricks and cement. It's a single-story building with a courtyard in front. It's modest but very comfortable and homely.

2. Which room do you spend the most time in?

I spend most of my time in my bedroom. It's my personal space where I study, practice calligraphy, and relax. I've decorated it with some of my own artworks, which makes it feel very inspiring.

3. What do you like about your home?

I love the privacy and the peaceful atmosphere. It's away from the noise of traffic, so I can focus on my studies. Also, I have enough space to practice my calligraphy and painting without any disturbance.

4. If you could change one thing about your home, what would it be?

I would definitely add a dedicated study room with better lighting and a larger desk. Right now, I manage with my bedroom, but having a separate study space would help me concentrate even better.

5. What kind of home would you like in the future?

In the future, I dream of having a modern house with all the facilities. I want a spacious home with a studio for my calligraphy and art, and a well-equipped study area. Of course, it would also have a beautiful garden.

---

SET 3: Studies & Education

1. Are you currently studying?

Yes, I have just completed my +2 in Science, majoring in Bio Science. I'm now preparing for my entrance examinations for medical studies.

2. What subjects did you study in +2?

I studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics. Biology was my favourite because I've always been fascinated by the human body and how it functions. Chemistry was challenging, but I enjoyed it too.

3. Why did you choose Bio Science?

I chose Bio Science because I've always wanted to work in the medical field. Since I was a child, I was curious about health and diseases. Moreover, my aim is to become a Radiologist, so studying Bio Science was the natural and logical choice.

4. What do you enjoy most about studying Biology?

I really enjoy learning about the human anatomy and physiology. Understanding how organs work and how diseases affect the body is absolutely fascinating. I also like the practical lab work, where we get to see things under microscopes.

5. What are the challenges in your studies?

The biggest challenge is the huge syllabus and the intense competition for medical entrance exams. There's so much to memorise, and sometimes it feels overwhelming. However, I stay motivated by keeping my goal in mind.

6. Why do you want to become a Radiologist?

I want to become a Radiologist because I'm fascinated by medical imaging technology. The idea of using advanced machines like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs to diagnose diseases is very exciting to me. Also, Radiologists play a crucial role in patient care without being directly in surgery.

---

SET 4: Career & Future Plans

1. What are your career plans?

My ultimate goal is to become a certified Radiologist. I plan to study MBBS first, then specialise in Radiology. It's a long journey, but I'm determined and committed.

2. Why did you choose this career path?

I chose this path because I have a deep interest in healthcare and technology combined. Radiology allows me to help people diagnose diseases early and accurately. In my opinion, early diagnosis can save many lives, and I want to be part of that process.

3. Do you think it's a good career choice?

Absolutely. The demand for Radiologists is growing in Nepal and worldwide. It's a respectable and financially rewarding profession. However, it requires a lot of dedication and years of study, but I'm ready for that.

4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

In 10 years, I see myself as a qualified Radiologist, working in a reputed hospital. I also hope to bring some medical facilities to my hometown so that people don't have to travel far for diagnostic services.

5. Do you think you'll stay in Nepal or go abroad?

That's a difficult question. I'd love to serve in Nepal, especially in rural areas like mine. Nevertheless, I might go abroad for specialised training or to gain more experience. But eventually, I want to contribute to Nepal's healthcare system.

---

1. Do you have any hobbies?

Yes, I have a few hobbies. My main ones are calligraphy, painting, and travelling. These activities bring me a lot of joy and satisfaction.

2. How did you get interested in calligraphy?

I got interested in calligraphy about three years ago when I saw a beautiful calligraphy piece online. I was mesmerised by the elegance of the letters. So, I started practising with a simple pen, and gradually, I fell in love with the art form.

3. What kind of art do you create?

I mostly do ink calligraphy with different scripts. I also enjoy sketching and watercolour painting. I love creating landscapes and nature scenes. Art, for me, is a way to express my emotions.

4. How much time do you spend on these hobbies?

I try to spend at least an hour or two every day on my art. It's my way of unwinding after long study sessions. On weekends, I sometimes spend half the day practising calligraphy.

5. Do you think art is important?

Definitely. Art is not just a hobby; it's a form of therapy. It helps reduce stress and improves concentration. Moreover, calligraphy has improved my handwriting, which is useful in medical documentation.

6. Have you ever displayed your artwork?

Not in a gallery or anything, but I've shared my work on social media. I also give calligraphy pieces as gifts to friends and family. They always appreciate it, and that encourages me to improve.

---

SET 6: Travelling

1. Do you like travelling?

Yes, I love travelling. It's one of my favourite activities. Exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and seeing beautiful landscapes is something I truly enjoy.

2. What places have you visited in Nepal?

I've visited quite a few places. I've been to Kathmandu, Pokhara, Lumbini, and some parts of Chitwan. Each place has its own unique character. Pokhara is especially beautiful with its lakes and mountain views.

My dream is to visit Japan one day. I'm fascinated by Japanese culture, especially their calligraphy and art. I'd also love to see the cherry blossoms and visit their advanced medical technology centres.

4. Do you prefer travelling alone or with others?

I enjoy both, but I prefer travelling with close friends or family. It's more fun to share experiences and memories with others. Besides, travelling in a group feels safer and more enjoyable.

5. What do you learn from travelling?

Travelling teaches me about diversity and adaptability. I learn about new cultures, food, and traditions. It also makes me appreciate what I have at home. In my opinion, travelling is the best form of education.

---

SET 7: Daily Routine

1. What time do you usually wake up?

I wake up quite early, around 5:30 AM. I believe in starting the day early because it gives me more time to study and practice my hobbies.

2. What is your typical morning routine?

After waking up, I freshen up and do some light exercise. Then I study for about an hour before breakfast. I also spend 15-20 minutes practising calligraphy in the morning—it helps me focus.

3. What do you do during the day?

My day is mostly dedicated to studying. I attend coaching classes in the morning and self-study in the afternoon. In the evening, I take a break to do art or go for a short walk.

4. What do you do in the evenings?

In the evenings, I usually study a bit more, then relax by painting or listening to music. I also like to video call my friends and discuss our studies.

5. What time do you go to bed?

I try to go to bed by 10:30 PM. I think adequate sleep is important for memory and concentration, especially for a medical student.

6. Do you follow the same routine every day?

Mostly, yes. However, my routine is a bit relaxed on weekends. I might sleep in a little and spend more time on my hobbies or catch up with friends.

---

SET 8: Technology & Internet

1. Do you use technology every day?

Yes, absolutely. I use my smartphone and laptop every day for studying, watching educational videos, and staying in touch with friends.

2. How do you use the internet for your studies?

I use the internet extensively for online lectures, practice tests, and research. There are many helpful YouTube channels and websites for Biology and Medical entrance preparation. I also use apps like Google Scholar for research.

3. Do you think technology helps students?

Without a doubt. Technology has made learning so much easier. We have access to unlimited resources and can learn at our own pace. For example, I can watch animated videos of biological processes, which makes complex topics easier to understand.

4. Do you use social media?

Yes, I use platforms like Instagram and YouTube. I follow many science and art pages. I also share my calligraphy work on Instagram. It's a good way to connect with like-minded people.

5. What are the disadvantages of technology?

On the other hand, technology can be very distracting. Sometimes I get tempted to watch reels or browse social media instead of studying. Also, excessive screen time is bad for the eyes, which is something I need to be careful about.

---

SET 9: Health & Fitness

1. Do you think you are a healthy person?

I try to be. I avoid junk food as much as possible and try to eat home-cooked meals. I also believe that mental health is just as important as physical health.

I don't go to the gym, but I do light exercises at home. I also play cricket sometimes with my friends. Eating balanced meals and staying hydrated is also important for me.

3. Do you think diet is important for health?

Yes, absolutely. As a Bio Science student, I understand the importance of nutrition. A balanced diet with proper proteins, vitamins, and minerals is essential for a healthy body and mind.

4. Do you have any bad health habits?

To be honest, I sometimes stay up late studying or using my phone. That's not good for my sleep cycle. I'm trying to improve that habit.

5. How do you manage stress?

I manage stress through art and calligraphy. When I'm stressed about exams, I take a break and paint. It calms me down and helps me think clearly. Also, talking to my family helps a lot.

---

SET 10: Festivals & Celebrations

1. What festivals are popular in your hometown?

In Barahathawa, we celebrate all major Nepali festivals like Dashain, Tihar, Chhath, and Holi. Chhath is particularly important in Madhes Province and is celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm.

2. What is your favourite festival and why?

My favourite festival is Dashain. I love the family gatherings, the delicious food, and the festive atmosphere. It's a time when everyone comes together, and we get to reconnect with relatives we haven't seen in a while.

3. How do you celebrate festivals?

During festivals, we clean and decorate our house, prepare special food, and wear new clothes. I also like to make calligraphy cards to give to my family members. It's my way of adding a personal touch to celebrations.

4. What do you eat during festivals?

We have lots of traditional Nepali dishes like sel roti, khasi ko masu (goat curry), sweet rice pudding, and various snacks. I especially love the sweets made during festivals.

5. Do you think festivals are important?

SAMPLE FULL ANSWERS (Band 7+)

Question: Tell me about your hometown.

I'm originally from Barahathawa, which is a rural municipality in Sarlahi District, Madhes Province. To be honest, it's not a very developed area, but it has its own charm. The people are hardworking and warm-hearted, mostly engaged in farming. What I appreciate most is the sense of community—everyone knows each other and is ready to help. However, like many rural areas, it lacks good healthcare and educational facilities, which is why I want to become a Radiologist and contribute to my community.

---

Question: Why do you want to become a Radiologist?

I want to become a Radiologist because I'm deeply fascinated by medical imaging technology. For example, the idea that we can see inside the human body using X-rays and MRIs to diagnose diseases is truly remarkable. In addition, Radiologists play a critical role in saving lives by helping doctors make accurate diagnoses. Since I come from a rural area where such facilities are lacking, I feel a strong motivation to bring these services to underserved communities. Therefore, I'm fully committed to this career path.
