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 describe a time when you were cheated or when someone lied to you or someone did not tell you the complete truth IELTS Cue Card 2020.
1. Do you think telling White lies is acceptable sometimes?
Yes, it is. White lies are good lies. They are told so as not to hurt the sentiments of the other person.
They have a good cause and so it is alright to tell white lies.
For example, a mother may hide from his child that he is suffering from a fatal disease and may not live long.
2. Do you think honesty is the only important quality that should be in a person?
No, I don’t think so. Honesty is important, but intelligence, helpful nature, a good sense of humour and many other things are equally important.
3. Do you think children should be taught honesty in young age?
Yes, they should be taught honesty at a young age. Honesty is something parents can teach without any extra effort.
All they have to do is to lead by example. Children imbibe everything from their parents. They generally act and behave as their parents do.
As such honesty has no lessons. Children are natural apes. So, if parents are honest, so are the children.
4. Do you think being completely honest all times can be not good?
Yes, sometimes being too honest means being too blunt and may sound rude or even hurt the other person’s self esteem.
For example, if a four year old makes a drawing which you think is not at all good, you can still tell the child that she has done a good job.
That will encourage the child to draw again and become better.
Similarly, at times a doctor may have to tell a cancer patient that he will get well, even if the chances of recovery are next to nil.
5. Why do people lie sometimes?
Sometimes people lie for hiding certain things. They may not want to reveal that information and so have to lie.
Some may tell white lies because the truth may hurt others.
6. How would you define white lies?
White lies are good lies, which are told to encourage someone or to protect the sentiments of the other person from being hurt.
7. Some people say liars are those who have a good memory, what do you think?
Liars need good memory and there is no doubt about that, but whether they have good memory or not is questionable.
Those who do not have good memory may be caught very soon because they will forget what lie they told and in what context.
8. What are the other ways to teach children about honesty except having parents or teachers teach them?
Media can teach honesty to children by showing animated stories with morals. Children ca also learn honesty from their peers and by reading books.
