Follow-up questions for “Describe a book that you have read many a times” are given below. In the actual exam, this session is conducted for about 4-5 minutes where you have to discuss questions about a general topic or question on your cue card.

1- Do you prefer books or movies?

I love watching movies, I'll be honest. I don't enjoy reading books very much. In contrast to books where you have to visualise the characters and specific scenes, which makes reading more monotonous, movies are dramatic and you can actually see the characters.

2- Do you think it is important to read the book before watching the movie version of it?

In my perception, Sometimes, the movies are more successful than the original books. For instance, the movie Half-girlfriend was fantastic, but the book was rather dull and, when read before the movie, felt like there was no climax and conclusion. However, in the movie, the ending was explained and was to the audience's benefit, and it was unquestionably one of the blockbuster movies at the time of its release.  

3- Do boys and girls like the same kind of books?

Boys almost universally favour action, comic, and comedy books over those for girls. Girls enjoy reading romantic novels and occasionally rom-coms.

4- What kind of books do Indian people like to read?
That depends on the individual. In my opinion, each age group has different reading preferences. For instance, kids might prefer comic books or fairy tales, adults might prefer to read about current events, and seniors might prefer religious texts.
