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 a family which you like and are happy to know”

1. Who is usually the leader in an Indian family?

India is a patriarchal society, and, in most families, the eldest male member is the leader.

If it’s a joint family, its generally the grandfather and in nuclear families it’s the father.

2. How do grandparents take care of their children?

I think today grandparents fill the void left behind by working parents. Both the parents work today and as such are not able to devote enough time to the children.

So, grandparents raise children just like parents. They also teach them about moral values.

In some ways, they are also responsible for spoiling children as they give in to their demands much more easily than parents do.

3. What’s the most important quality of a good parent?

I think the best quality in a good parent is flexibility.

Flexible parents tend to be open- minded and easy-going. They resolve disagreements smoothly.

Children are naturally defiant and thus inflexible parents increase defiance and rebelliousness in their children and this always escalates conflicts.

4. How can new parents learn about parenting?

I think there are many ways to learn about good parenting. They can read books on parenting.

they can join parenting classes, they can watch videos on you-tube about parenting and last but not least they can take guidance from their own parents.
