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 job that you think is interesting”.

1. What jobs are popular among younger people in India? 
The most popular jobs among youth nowadays are jobs in IT and jobs in social media. Many youngsters have their own YouTube and Instagram channels, and they look at it as a career rather than as a hobby. Besides that, many are also taking up sports as a career because of successful sports leagues like IPL in cricket.

2. What are the differences between high-paid jobs and low-paid jobs in India? 
In India, mental acumen is given much more importance than physical labour. So people with good academics get much higher salaries than people who do physical labour like plumbers, carpenters and so on.
Secondly, in India, status mainly comes from wealth, so high-paid jobs are given more respect than low-paid jobs.

3. What is the proper time for young people to plan their future career seriously? 
I think the right time for young people to plan their future is around the age of sixteen to eighteen. By this time, they have studied different subjects and have a good idea about what interests them. Moreover, by this age, most children have become mature to take decisions after careful consideration rather than based on their whims and fancies.
