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 old person you know and respect”
1. What qualities does a person need to have to take care of old people?
A person needs to be patient when taking care of the old people, because the elderly are like children in many ways.
It is very important to realise that the elderly may sometimes be hard of hearing and so the person should not get impatient or lose temper while taking care of the elderly.
A person also needs to be a good listener while taking care of the elderly people because their main problem is social isolation and they need someone to talk to.
One should be very polite and respectful towards the elderly.
2. Do you think old people should be taken care of at home?
Ideally yes, but if there is a problem at home and both the younger people are working then professional caretakers should be hired to look after the elderly at home or the elderly should be left in a good nursing home where they can be taken care of well.
3. How can people in the neighbourhood help the elderly during an epidemic?
People in the neighbourhood can help the elderly in many ways during an epidemic.
For example, if an elderly couple is living alone then the people in the neighbourhood can help by buying vegetables and groceries for them so that they don’t have to go out during an epidemic.
They can cook for them and take care of them and help them get timely medical aid whenever needed.
4. Do you see this kind of help occurring in your neighbourhood?
Yes, there is an elderly couple in our street and their children are living abroad.
Now during the Corona lockdown, my parents would buy vegetables and groceries for them so that they didn’t have to go out.
My father also used to call them daily to ask if they needed anything.
My mother also sometimes cooked for them so that they didn’t have to do all the work as even maids were not allowed in those days.
