IELTS Speaking part 3 Follow Up Questions.
Here are some follow up questions you may be asked during part 3 IELTS Speaking exam by the IELTS examiner related to 1st cue card:
“Describe an intelligent person you know”
1. Are most intelligent people happy? Why?
Not necessarily. Intelligent people have high expectations of life. They may feel unhappy if things don’t go according to their expectations.
But, at the same time I think it is difficult to generalise. Intelligent people know that happiness is a state of mind, and so they may try their best to stay happy.
2. Do you think intelligent people are selfish?
No, selfishness has nothing to do with intelligence. I think it is personal nature to be selfish.
A person who is intelligent may get success in his life and may seem to be selfish, but actually he is not.
Even people who are not so intelligent may be selfish. It is basic human nature to look after one’s own interests first. So, it cannot be said that intelligence makes people selfish.
3. Do you think intelligent people are helpful?
Well, a helpful nature also has nothing to do with intelligence. Anybody can be helpful, but intelligent people can help in better ways with their intelligence.
People who are not intelligent but have money can help by giving money, but intelligent people can help by educating the poor.
4. Who do you think plays a more important role in children’s education, parents or teachers? Why?
Well, both have a vital role in children’s education. The role of both parents and teachers is different, but equal. So, it is difficult to say, who has a greater role.
In social education, parents have a greater role, but in academic education, teachers have a greater role.
5. What qualities do you think a good teacher should have?
A teacher should have good communication skills. Without good communication skills, a teacher cannot teach well. Secondly, he should have depth of knowledge of the subject.
Then, he should be impartial. He should have no bias towards the rich or poor students. He should be able to come down to the level of the student to teach well.
6. How do teachers help children in their education?
Teachers help in all possible ways. They work hard to provide good academic knowledge to the students. They have to keep themselves up-to-date with the latest syllabi and teach students according to the requirement of the time.
They can also do some career counselling and advise the students any career path according to their aptitude.
7. Why are some children more intelligent than others?
It can be because of genes. Some may be born intelligent. Some children may work hard to achieve that level of intelligence.
