Band 9 Model Answers for IELTS Speaking Part 1 in 2021 Topics: Joke & Comedy

IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic: Jokes and comedies

1. Are you good at telling jokes?

Yes, I actually have been told to have such a good sense of humour. Whenever my friends are with me, I usually crack a joke (tell a joke) and they can’t help but laugh to death (laughing to the extreme limits).

2. Do your friends like to tell jokes?

It depends on their personality really, some do and some don’t so I cannot really tell you whether they like it or not. But I do have a friend who loves to tell jokes, even though his jokes usually fall flat (to not succeed in making them laugh) but he enjoys doing it for the sake of it.

3. Do you like being close to a person who has a good sense of humor?

Oh yes I do. I think whenever I am with a humorous person, I can really feel their positivity, which will actually help reduce my depressive thoughts. Not only that, they can make the atmosphere lighter and much more comfortable. So I really enjoy their company (being with other people).

4. Which types of programmes are most popular in your country? What kind of things make you laugh? What type of programmes do you find funny on TV?

I guess reality shows really crack me up  (make sb laugh hard) sometimes. They are ubiquitous (present everywhere) nowadays and whenever I am stressed, depressed or have any problems that need to be addressed (to try to deal with a problem or question), I will just watch my go-to (the best one to use when you need to achieve something) reality show and it really does help.

5. Do you think it is important to have a sense of humour and why?

Yes I do simply because being funny will put other people at ease, which can help establish a good rapport (a relationship in which people like, understand, and respect each other) with them. In addition, when you have a sense of humor, you look on the bright side (to think about the good parts of a situation that is mostly bad). Not only does this positive attitude improve your well-being, but it also has an encouraging effect on the people you relate to.
