Model Answers- Decision Making

1. IELTS Examiner: Do you find decision making easy?
Candidate: Well, I think it depends. If it's a small decision, one that's not really important, then I can make it easily. On the other hand, a big decision such as what course I should take, is much harder and it takes much time. I often think about the pros and cons and the possible outcomes.

2. IELTS Examiner: Do you think decision-making is a skill that should be developed?
Candidate: Well, without any doubt, decision making is a great skill and it should be developed. We have to make many decisions such as what job to do, when to get married and so on. Moreover, we have to make decisions under pressure .These can have profound impacts on our life. Therefore,  I believe decision making is a skill that should be developed.
