IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic Happiness
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. Is there anything that makes you feel happy lately?
Yes. There is. My mom visited me three days ago and will stay with me for one week. I am truly happy to see her and have her by my side. The moment I get home after a long hard working day and see her making dinner for me, this makes me really emotional, recalling the old days when I was still a kid, living with the unconditional love of my mother.
2. What do you do to stay happy?
Well, I just stop caring about things that annoy me, disturb me or make me angry. I just leave them alone if I can’t deal with them. This is mostly meant for people I dislike or requests I can’t fulfill; maybe questions I can’t answer. Then I will try to focus my energy on something that gives me fulfillment instead.
3. Can you stay happy all the time?
Truthfully, I believe it’s impossible to remain always happy. There will always be times when you’ll feel sad, depressed. The feeling of sadness is inevitable in life, but I always try to be optimistic about the situation I’m dealing with as much as possible. This helps not only myself but others around too, being positive about life helps those around us by in a way somehow sharing the positivity.
4. Is it important to be happy?
Yes. It is. In my opinion, happiness has been linked to better decision-making and improved creativity. So, rather than success being the key to happiness, I believe that happiness could in fact be the key to success.
