IELTS Speaking Part 3: Follow up Questions

IELTS speaking follow-up questions for the topic “Describe an energetic person that you know” are provided below. In the actual IELTS exam, this part will be conducted for 3-4 minutes and questions will be asked related to your IELTS speaking cue-card topic.

1. What kind of jobs need a physical activity?

In this contemporary era, with an advancement of science and technology, the bulk of  jobs require desk work. But also, there are other field works that need physical activities, such as painting, plumbing, construction works, and many more.

2.  Can physical workers have higher salaries in the future?

Actually,I believe that the salary of manual laborers will decline in the future because due to the advancement in automation, machines are reducing physical work.

3. Do you think machines could replace manual labor in the future?

In my perception, humans are the ones who have invented machines and therefore,due to the modernizing era more and more machines will be built and it reduces the space for manual labor in the future. 

4. What's the difference between payment for physical work and payment for mental work? 

Working with your mind is just as important as working using your body, if not more so, because it affects both. As a result, some professions requiring cerebral work, like psychiatrists, demand greater salaries than jobs requiring physical labor. Plumbers and farmers only receive the minimum salary, whereas mental health counselors receive far more. Agriculture, plumbing, painting, and factory work are a few of the physically demanding jobs that pay the least in India.

5. How can a person’s energy affect others?

Well,a person’s energy can influence others positively if they are doing something good for society. Also,if they have leadership quality, then their words can be impactful.
