IELTS Speaking Sample Answer # Jokes
Jokes are part of every individual’s life who is happy. We often share them with the people we love, the people we work with or sometimes just with ourselves. There are some people in our gang, jokes of whom are so exciting and funny that we often end up laughing our head and heart out. Let us today have a look at some of the questions related to humor.
Do you like listening and telling jokes?
Yes, I love listening to jokes. But, more importantly I like the sarcastic humor. The one that creeps into everyday conversation, the one where people cross question each other, in the most stupid way. Jokes are funny as well, but nothing can replace the humor we all share in our daily conversation.
How do you know what joke is proper to tell to your friends?
With my friends, there is nothing proper and improper. My friends know me in and out and we often talk to each other in the most comfortable and frank way. So, we can just go about and say whatever we feel to each other. But, then if there is something that one does not like, he/she simply says it out loud. However, for the most part, we know each other and so it rarely happens.
When are some time you shouldn’t tell a joke?
I think when someone is telling you what they feel and you know they are very susceptible at that point, telling a joke can only ruin the situation. Like, a person is telling you the problems he or she is facing at work or in life and if you tend to tell a joke, it might be possible that the other person get offended.
How can a joke hurt someone?
When a joke is on the physical appearance or things that someone is sensitive about, it tends to hurt people. Also, there are times when people ignore things, but when those things become in tolerable they start hurting people.
What are some situations when it is impolite to laugh at a joke?
When someone else is making fun of other person’s feeling, I think it is improper to laugh at the joke. Because, then it shows that you support what the other person is saying making the person being laughed off at even more irritable.
How can joke be a form of discrimination?
When a joke is on the physical appearance, be it color, sex or community, it becomes a form of discrimination.
Have you ever heard a sexist joke?
Yes, there are so many times that I hear them. Either on television or on some video or sometimes even the people I work with.
What are some common subjects that people like to joke about?
I think with social media becoming so active, most people like to joke about some or the other celebrity. But, for the most part, people like joking about either their seniors or may be juniors. Also, people laugh off at the government or politicians.
What are some good joke pages on the Internet?
There are so many joke pages on social media, these days. But, I think my favorite would be “The sarcastic Indian” and “Chill life”. These are the two pages that share some very funny jokes or situations, you can relate very well with, making you laugh your heart out.
