Describe a person who you think is very open - Sample 1

Introduction 

Everyone has their own identity and uniqueness in their character. However, I personally like people who are frank and open. 

Who is he/she? and How do you know him/her?

Here I would like to talk about one of my favourite people. She was my Tamil teacher in my 10 th standard. 

Why do you think he/she is very open?

She was very open with her opinions and courageous enough. She spoke whatever she thought and had no fear for anyone. She stood up for fairness even if the person in front of her was in a higher position than her.

And explain how you feel about him/her?

Initially I didn't like her because she was outspoken with her words. Later I understood that she is perfect and very open. I admire her very much with all her actions. 

Conclusion

I personally like her so much and she was my inspiration during my school days. 

Describe a person who you think is very open - Sample 2

Introduction 

In my opinion, being frank and open is a challenge. Because I am an introvert and always hesitates to say what I think. So, I appreciate the people who open their minds without any reluctance in any situation.

Who is he/she? and How do you know him/her?

I am grateful for this opportunity and would like to talk about my dear cousin sister. I have known her since my childhood and she is very sweet.

Why do you think he/she is very open?

In my family circle, she is one of the boldest and frankest girls that I know. I still remember one incident. When we attended a family function, one of our aunts misbehaved with the servants and nobody liked her behaviour. At the same time, no one had the courage to warn her. But, my cousin did it without any hesitation.

And explain how you feel about him/her?

What she did that day impressed me. This is one of the main reasons why I like her so much. She is very open and brave to everyone.

Conclusion

So happy that I have shared here about my favourite girl. I always wish I could be more frank and bold like her. 

Describe a person who you think is very open - Sample 3 

Introduction 

There is a saying that you should not judge a book by its cover. Likewise, no one should be judged by their appearance and sudden behaviour or action. Because everyone has their own reasons for what they do.

Who is he/she? and How do you know him/her?

When I hear this topic, one person suddenly comes to my mind. He is my close friend and his name is Karthik. I have known him since my UG college days. 

Why do you think he/she is very open?

I initially believed he was a quiet, introverted man when we first met. However, he is actually the exact opposite in actuality. Because of the various instances I saw during my college days, I could tell he was really brave and transparent. I remember one particular day when one of our lecturers yelled at us without cause. We genuinely don't know, and we lack the guts to ask him about it. My friend, however, stopped him and made him realise with his clear explanations that it was not our fault.

And explain how you feel about him/her?

That would have been our worst day if he hadn't shown initiative that day. My lecturer apologised to us for his fault following that incident. My friend clarified that there had been only a miscommunication. I was overjoyed and extremely proud of him. I genuinely respect his bravery and openness.

Conclusion

This incident is just an example of his open character. He impressed me a lot with his great actions and had many good memories together. He is one of my best friends that I wish I would never lose.

IELTS Speaking Part 3: Follow up Questions

Following the cue card task, the examiner will ask some follow-up questions. It will last 4 - 5 minutes and the questions will be based on the given IELTS Speaking cue card topic. Get an idea by finding the below  possible follow-up questions for the topic - Describe a person who you think is very open.

1. Is it difficult for people in your country to express their feelings?

In my opinion, expressing their feelings depends on a personal character, not based on their country or anything, because in all countries there are all kinds of people who are shy, bold, arrogant, etc.

2. Who do you think will talk more? Children or grown-ups?
 
Children are undoubtedly more talkative than adults. This is because adults have the maturity to consider the opposite person, places and words. But children are not afraid of anything. And they are more active than adults.

3. What do you think is the difference between boys and girls in expressing their feelings?

Again it is based on people's individuality. However, compared to men, women are more open in expressing emotions such as fear, sadness and so on. At the same time, boys always try to hide their feelings

4. Do you think people are more open than in the past?

In my view, people today are more open than people of the past. Because these days there are many ways and freedom to express one's feelings and opinions. For example we have social media, many of them express, protest and share boldly, but in the past people had less freedom to express their feelings and opinions. 

5. What do you think about people who are less open?

That's not to say the less open don't have courage. They may have their own reasons for not sharing or not being open. They can consider the other person's mind, feelings before expressing their opinion. So, everyone is unique in their own way.

6. Is being open good?

Being open is always considered as a good quality. In my opinion, it always depends on the opposite person. Because It is better to be open to the right person.
