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 occasion when many people were smiling”
1. Why do people smile?
People smile because of many reasons. Some people smile to express feelings of happiness, gratitude, affection, etc. Starting our day with a smile help brighten our day and other people’s day too.
Sometimes people smile to lighten a tense situation and sometimes it’s because they remember a happy event or something funny.
2. When do people smile?
People usually smile when greeting others, when thanking others, while remembering happy moments, when enjoying with family or friends, when they receive good service, and many other such situations.
3. What’s the difference between a fake smile and a true smile?
I think we can make out the difference between a fake and a genuine smile by the facial expressions, especially the eyes. When a person is genuinely smiling, even his/her eyes seem to be smiling.
4. Why do people smile when they take photos?
People smile when they take photos because smiles bring a charm to our face and make the photos more memorable and beautiful. Photos are reminders of memorable events and smiling faces bring back happy memories.
5. Who smiles more, men or women?
I think smiles have nothing to do with gender. People smile due to different reasons.
6. Do you think people should control their moods?
Yes, I think people should control their bad moods, as it can have a negative effect on the other people around them. It can spoil someone else’s day.
7. Do you think people who like to smile are more friendly?
If I talk from personal experience, I couldn’t agree more. My mother gets a lot of compliments about her infectious smile and she is one of the friendliest people I know.
I think people find it easier to approach or talk to people who smile and thus they seem more friendly for sure.
8. Do people smile more when they are younger or older?
I think smile has nothing to do with age. Both young and old people like to smile. I think young people may be more honest about their happiness when they smile and it might not be the case with older people as they are certainly better at masking their true feelings.
