Model Answer for IELTS Speaking Part 2 – Topic: Describe a person who speaks foreign language well

Describe a person who speaks foreign language well

MODEL ANSWER

Well, I know many people who are bilingual, or even multilingual. In India many people know three languages. One is Hindi, the second is the language of their state. For example Punjabi is the language spoken by Punjabis. And of course, English, which is taught in our schools right from class 1.

However, here I would like to talk about my uncle Rambeer, who can speak Flemish very fluently. English is the second language in our country and many of us can speak it quite fluently but Flemish is rarely spoken and understood here. Flemish is a Dutch language as it is spoken in Belgium.

However, my uncle Ram had graduated from the Leuven university in Belgium and stayed in Brussels for roughly 7 years . I guess this is the time when he learned the language. My uncle must have learned the language as part of his academic study or to converse with the locals. Having said that, his study in a university and his 7 years of staying in the country must have improved his knowledge and language fluency to a great extent.

This is the time he got friendly with a local girl and later they got married. Now he can speak the Flemish language like a native speaker. He has an outstanding and natural accent and a pleasant speaking style that can impress anyone. Once he came with his wife To attend a family function. I heard him speak Flemish with her, and he seemed to speak like a pro.

Now he is a senior citizen and he teaches in a college as a visiting faculty. He is a devoted teacher who is loved by his students. All in all, I would say because of his skill in speaking a foreign language, he is sought after as a translator by various professionals.
