IELTS Speaking Sample Questions # Introducing People

There is so much that needs to be done when you meet a person. You have to introduce yourself to the other person and then there are times when you need to introduce two different people who and make sure that they are able to have a good conversation. Certain things are to be kept in mind and this is something we all do lot of times. Let us today have a look at some of the questions related to introducing people.

The favorite topic for new acquaintances in Britain is the weather, in America it’s where you come from, what is it in your country?

The best way our people start a conversation is by the question,”how are you”? So, from the answers they get the scope for more questions. So, people would like to know about how your family is and how are you liking the place and stuff like that. It is more of personal in our culture.

If you don’t really like this new person how do you finish the conversation and make your escape?

Most of the times I am like, I am sorry but I have got some work and make an escape. Other times, I pretend that there is a urgent call that I need to take and have to leave.

What makes you remember a new person that you have just met? Do you remember them for long?

The only thing that I remember about a new person is their sense of humor. Nothing else. I think it is the best way to grasp someone’s attention. If I meet them regularly, I think I do remember them or may be sometimes, if what they said strikes me,I tend to remember them for a long time.

introducing people

What does your name mean?

I am Avantika and it means queen. Sometimes, it happens that I start feeling as if I am the queen.

What are the customary greetings and behaviors for meeting/greeting someone in your culture?

When we meet new people in our culture, we make sure that we can give them the best of food, because that is very important. Apart from that, we make sure that they don’t face any problem because there is saying in our culture that guest is God and we try to follow it most of the times.

How do you introduce two people to each other?

When introducing two people, I make sure that they both get a common ground on which they are able to interact with each other. Because, simply telling people each others name is of no use unless they don’t have a common ground where they are able to interact with each other and as a host I think it is my responsibility to do that.

 

When you introduce people do you use their whole names or just first names?

I prefer using their initial names only, it is when in a group of people there are some common names, that I go about telling the full names.

What are the advantages of meeting new people when you move to a new country?

When you meet new people, the best thing is that you get to know about their culture, the way that you can never know when you are. They know the local history, the important places to visit, the areas that are not in the google,  but are there in hearts of people. So, when you interact with them, you get to know that and it is amazing.

What are the first things you notice when you meet someone?

The first thing that I notice about someone when I meet them for the first time is their smile. I think smile is that one thing that is very important for me and if a person does not have a smile that touches my heart, I mostly tend to stop talking or interacting with them.

How important is it to smile when you meet someone for the first time?

Very important. Smile, I believe is the gateway to someone’s heart. It just is so much more positive and pure that it just brings smile onto other person’s face and breaks the ice for further conversation.

Do you like to kiss, shake or bow when you meet a new person?

I prefer shaking hands when I meet the other person. Shaking hands gives me the confidence to carry on the conversation ahead and get to know the other person as well. Also, it is neither to formal or informal. It brings in the feeling of trust and faith and I think that is very important for building a relationship.

IELTS Speaking # Importance Of Friends

Friends are the people who we share our lives with, they are the ones who get to know us more than anyone else. We spend our time with them, laugh with them and often cry together. Friends are those who we need in our lives. Let us to

What makes friends different from family?

Friends are those people in life that you share a different bond because they are just like you.  There problems are same and most of the times you share the same problem. The characters in the story are same and it is different from family. People in family are the ones who come back to when everything falls back. They are the ones who know you before you knew yourself. There is so much more attachment with them.

What qualities do you think are important in a friend?

A person to be my friend has to be trust worthy and that is it. I want people whom I can trust to be my friends. If there is someone whom I cannot trust, there is no point in being with them even for a second.

What is a friend?

A friend is a person who can share your life with. You can tell the silliest of your worries to, he or she is the person, you need not to pretend in front of. There you are and he or she knows exactly that and yet chooses to be your side.

What things should friends never do?

I think a friend should never betray behind the back. So, if there is a friend and he or she talks behind back things that are not good or does not trusts his friend for the things that he or she does, or for that matter hides things from his friends, there is no point of the other person calling him a friend.

importance of friends

Has a friend ever let you down?

Yes, I remember there was a friend of mine and I told her about my trip and all the fun that I had. By that time I had not told my parents about me going solo to that trip but my friend instead of asking me to tell my parents, just went on telling them about it. I don’t know what she wanted to portray and I am very sure if it was all positive, but it did hurt me, because she directly contacted my parents without asking me.

Have you made any friends over the Internet?

Not really. But, there have been people whom I knew as an acquaintance in real life but we became friends over the internet.

How often do you write to them?

My job is such that it requires lot of time and patience and it is very difficult to stay in touch with everyone I come across. But, the people I have met and been friends on Facebook, I tend to write whenever I get time or when I feel that there has been a lot of gap between us.

Why do you like your best friend?

There is no reason when you love someone, right! Why we have stuck with each other is because we both love each other company. There are times when we fight, when we yell at each other, sometimes we even stop talking with each other but then we know that we are, we are there for each other and that feeling, feeling of being at home even when you are far away, is what makes me love her.

Where is a good place to meet new friends?

If someone really wants to meet new friends, I think the best place should be any group or club, because there you meet like-minded people. People who share the same worries as you and the troubles just like you and then you need not to spend extra time or figure out a plan to be with them. You are just two busy people trying to improve your life.

Where is a good place to meet a new boyfriend/girlfriend?

I think the best place would be a group or a club, yet again. Because, it provides you a basic common ground to interact and that is very important. Or you can just go about and join some social cause. It is when you fall in love with yourself, that you start falling in love with others as well.

Do you think it is possible to have a best friend of the opposite sex without becoming a girlfriend or boyfriend?

Definitely yes. Because you know the other person, you have shared their sorrow and no one in this world can understand you better than him or her. Making love with that person is so much more easier and comfortable because then you grow with each other. But then it is not a compulsion as well. You can just be friends with some one and fall in love with someone else.

Do you think it would be possible for you to still be friends with an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend?

No, I don’t think so. For me, having my heart broken, I don’t think so I can ever be friends with someone I had shared some intimate moments. Obviously, we can remain as acquaintances, I can help the other person or just have a coffee if we step in the café together but making attempts for a meeting or sharing life, I don’t think so it is possible.
