Here we have given some follow up questions related to the topic of describe a cake you received from others. The IELTS speaking part 3 - follow up question session is conducted for 4-5 minutes. This will help you attain a band score on your exams.

1. What are the differences between special food made in India and other countries?

In India, food plays a major role on all occasions as well as on normal days too. I think the difference between special food in India and other countries is that Indian foods are mostly spicy and we add all-natural spices in food in a daily basis and i feel that other countries have a sweet taste in all types of foods.

2. Is there any food in your country which is eaten on special occasions or special times?

Yes, we do have so many dishes we make on special occasions. In India many people from different states and countries live in, so all festival is celebrated in India. For example, Briyani is eaten during Eid or Ramadan, and people from Punjab eat Sarson ka saag for special occasions.

3. Why are some people willing to spend a lot money on meals on special days?

I believe in this because special occasion often brings our family, friends, and relatives together to celebrate the day and have a meal together . since everyone comes to our house we make meals out of joy for all. when we have loved people arounds us, spending money on food doesn’t matter much on special days.

4. Do you think it’s good to communicate when eating with your family?

I would obviously say yes, we can talk while eating because everyone sits together and I would say this is the right time to talk, have food, and laugh. Every time we don’t sit together but while eating it is mandatory that we have to be together. so it would be easy to communicate with everyone and pass the food too.
