Sample Answer
I usually am very choosy person when it comes to praising someone. And I don’t idolize people too often.
But it was a completely different thing when I met Dr. Aashish Sharma.
For me, he is creativity personified. I tell you why.
First of all, he holds a bachelor’s degree in Dentistry. So he is basically an artist as dentistry is itself an art.
But this is not the only reason I consider him an artist and a creative person.
He is a voracious reader and a huge fan of non-fiction books.
He visits yearly book-fairs and attends book launching events at various bookshops.
At one such event, I met him when my friend Suresh introduced him to me.
And I thank Suresh for that as he introduced a gem of a person to me.
Dr. Aashish is a very humble person. We started talking about our similar interests in books and poetry. And we immediately hit it off.
And during the course of our conversation, I came to know about the blog he writes about books.
And before you admire his creativity in writing interesting book-reviews, you will love the way he has designed his blog.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that he is an amateur web-designer too.
And he is really unstoppable. He is a guitarist who plays romantic movie songs in his melodious voice.
Nowadays he is taking piano lessons from his music teacher. And soon we will get to hear sweet tunes from his piano too.
His father is a painter and his mother is a professor of English at a prestigious college. So, he may have inherited creativity from his parents.
But, this is not the case with everyone.
His creativity has its origins in Dr. Aashish’s insatiable curiosity about various topics. He is an autodidact whose sole ambition is to learn new things everytime.
This is why he is an imaginative person , and this makes him a very creative person.
IELTS SPEAKING TEST
Part 3
Do you think you are a creative person?
Yes, I am. I like to invent new ways to do things and that, in my opinion, is creativity. As a banker, I have to play with numbers and it is a very monotonous work sometimes.
And I have to act as a public relations manager every now and then. In my conversations with clients, I use anecdotes and humorous quotes to lighten up the client’s mood.
This I consider a creative way to deal with clients.
Is it good for children to learn arts?
Yes, they must learn arts. And by ‘arts’ I mean to say a broad range of subjects, not just painting.
They should learn music, dance, oratory, craftwork, or any other creative subject they like.
This develops their cognitive skills. And through their art, they can express their emotions in creative ways.
What kind of jobs require people to be creative?
In my opinion, all the occupations require people to be creative.
For instance, a carpenter should think himself as a Leonardo Da Vinci. And he must make furniture in the same manner as the great artist created his famous painting ‘Monalisa’.
When people don’t use creativity in their jobs, they start losing interest in the work they do.
And as a result, we often get the products or final outcomes that are mediocre in nature.
But when they pour their heart and soul into their works, their creativity gives astonishing results.
Do you think leaders need to have creative ability?
Yes, this is the need of the hour.
Creative ability for leaders in any field means the skill to take decisions in a creative way.
It also means the ability to invent new ideas and the courage to execute them.
There are challenges in every field, be it business or politics.
And only those leaders succeed who are creative thinkers.
