India but also worldwide. And the culture week that I mentioned before it was a fashion event that I had attended as a teenager and it was life-changing for me. I was awestruck by all the beauty, creativity and glamour of the event and I knew that I wanted to be a part of it. After the fashion shows there was a chance for the public to meet with some of the celebrity designers including Ms. Khanna who was by that time an idol for me. I had always wondered what had inspired her to become a fashion designer and even more importantly where she draws her creative inspiration for her amazing productions. I remember having butterflies in my stomach when I finally got a chance to speak with her and I felt like I wouldn't be able to make a sound. She was very pleasant and made me feel comfortable. I asked her my questions and she kindly replied. This was definitely one of the most nerve-wracking interactions I've ever had and it was also exhilarating. Your time is up. I will stop you there and I will take back the questions. Please put your notepaper to the side. Turn it over along with the pencil. Thank you. Part two of this speaking interview is arguably the most challenging because most people do not practice giving short speeches especially not in a foreign language on a daily basis. However, Jalil does a fantastic job and she is well prepared. Clearly she has rehearsed and practiced responding to part two questions before sitting the exam. This is evident from the way she starts her response. When the examiner tells her that her one-minute preparation time is up, she looks from the notepaper, takes a breath, places her hands on the table and calmly, confidently presents her first sentence. She explains that about a year ago she had the chance to meet with Anamika Khanna who had made her very nervous at that time. Paying attention to responding to the topic question on the cue card. Talk about a person that made you nervous. It's very important that you answer that topic question right away. In fact, Jalil not only reflects the topic of the cue card but she emphasizes it by saying that she was super nervous. Throughout her one to two-minute response, Jalil takes natural pauses checking the cue card and checking her notes. This is very important for her to give a well-structured, detailed and non-repetitive answer. A lot of students forget to do this. They get frustrated. They get nervous. They forget about their notes and they forget about the questions. They tend to repeat themselves and run out of ideas. Stay confident. Stay calm.
