Here some examples of follow up questions that you may asked during your speaking part 3 by examiner related to cue card “describe your favorite movie”.
1. Do you think (watching) films have (has) any educational benefits? Yes, watching films has a lot of educational benefits. Some movies are based on events that actually happened. Historical films offer insight into how life was in the past. Movies expose us to various cultures. Documentaries provide educational benefits and are very interesting to watch. By watching English films one can develop one’s English language.
2. In what ways are documentary films and films only for entertainment different? Feature films are mainly made to entertain the audience, whereas documentaries are meant to inform, to confront people with reality, and sometimes to promote a point of view.

Documentaries are usually low budget, whereas feature films can cost crores.
