What are you going to do next?

My plan is to…. I want to do…. I am planning to….

2.    Understand the question thoroughly before answering it.

3.    Take the question as your answer, with a positive or negative attitude.

There are many reasons. Firstly, secondly, thirdly.

Does this industry do any harm to the society?

Yes, it does. It spoils the importance of traditional ones.

5.    Do not parade points to make your answer get weightage.

6.    Only one point is enough to convince the examiner that you know English.
