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:
“Talk about something you enjoyed doing in a group”
1. What kinds of quality does a leader need?
A leader needs to have good communication skills. He should be able to lead by example.
If he wants his team to be punctual he should himself be punctual. You should know how to get work done.
2. What are the reasons for the failure of teamwork?
Teamwork fails if there is no coordination between the team members. Teamwork also fails if the team leader is not very competent.
3. Do children need to know more about teamwork?
Yes, children should know a lot about teamwork, because they have to work in teams at all stages of their life.
4. Is cooperation more important than competition?
Competition and cooperation are equally important. Both competition and cooperation are needed in our day-to-day lives.
We need to compete with others in exams, or when we start a new business.Â
We need to cooperate with our colleagues at work, and with other players in the team sports.
Children should be taught both – competition and cooperation.Â
They should also be taught where to compete and where to cooperate.
5. Which one do you think is more important: individual development or team goals?
I think both are important in their own way. Individual development is important for the person to rise individually in life.
Team goals are important because everything cannot be done alone and one has to learn to march ahead with others.
6. Do you think it is a good thing to have disagreements within a team?
Yes definitely. It is good to have disagreements within the team, because otherwise there is no fun working in a team.
You have to learn to accept the good points of the other members and you also have to learn to put forth your views in a team.
7. How to become a good member of the team in a workplace?
A good member of the team respects the efforts done by other team members and at the same time does his efforts honestly so that the whole team goes forward.
