13 IELTS SPEAKING – PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

1. Are you a patient person?


Yes absolutely! It’s a case by case situation but generally speaking I’m an extremely patient person. I
don’t see the point of getting all riled up for the things that are out of my control, because anger can
distract me from objective and logical thoughts in stressful situations.

Patient /pey-shent/
Objective /ob-jek-tiv/
Thoughts /thots/
Stressful /stres-ful/
Distract /dis-trakt/
Logical /lo-ji-kul/
Rile /rayl/

2.Were you patient when you were young?

I don’t have lots of memories of my childhood, I’m not sure. But I believe that among kids tend to easily
lose patience as they don’t know how to control their emotions yet. Well, perhaps there were times that I
was patient and there may be some times that I wasn’t.

2. How do you feel when people are not patient?


Well, I don’t really mind because I don’t want to be stressed out with negative things or to things that
don’t add value to my life. As long as I’m not the reason or the cause of their impatience, I won’t be
affected at all. However, I would get mad/ irritated if someone stood me up or didn’t show up on time.

Childhood /chayld-hud/

3. Who are more patient, men or women?

I believe it’s women who have more patience than men. I mean, only women have the ability to bear a
child for nine months and struggle with the pain. With that, I’m really confident that women are born
being patient more than men.
