Introduction:
Well, its always the part or the role of a character in every movie that makes it successful, and I would like to talk about one of the blockbuster movies, 3 idiots, and the character in this movie who is just integral to the movie is Amir Khan.

When did you watch the movie?
Amir Khan is certainly my favourite actor. For this reason, I watched this movie in the cinema with my friends a few years ago when it was released.

I never knew this movie was going to be so interesting. This movie is based on college life, and since I am a student, I was particularly interested in watching this movie.

Who is this character?
Amir Khan played an exceptional role in this movie. He is more like an ideal for the students to follow because he has shown in this movie how focusing on the practical aspect of learning can make you successful.

Generally, students are more concerned about theoretical aspects, which gives them stress only, but he shows how a student can enjoy a very relaxing and easygoing life if he is more and more about learning in a practical way.

What was the character?
Amir Khan is a comical character in this movie. There are so many funny scenes in this movie that made us laugh hysterically in the cinema hall.

I can also say that he is a very versatile actor. Because apart from comedy, he can handle different types of situations.

There are some emotional scenes in this movie, especially when his friend gets hospitalized and when Amir Khan is crying. Literally, everyone in the cinema hall was crying because everyone in the cinema hall was engrossed in his character.

Conclusion:
Last but not least, Amir Khan sang the title song of this movie, and prior to watching this movie, I never knew that he had singing skills as well. For playing this character in 3 idiots, he has received numerous awards, and this movie was on the Oscar list as well.

And after that, I have watched this movie many times, and I also recommend others to watch the movie and appreciate the performance of Amir Khan in this movie.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 : Follow up Questions

Here some examples of follow up questions that you may asked during your speaking part 3 by examiner related to cue card “describe a character from a movie”.

1. Is it fun to be an actor?
I don’t think it is fun to be an actor as at the beginning of their career actors have to memorize lines, give auditions and face rejections. Like any other job, it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and luck to be a successful actor. However, it is a rewarding career once you become famous and successful.

2. What can children learn from acting?
I think children can learn a lot from acting. It builds their confidence, teaches them how to work in a team, improves their public speaking skills and their creativity, and can be very fun at the same time.
