    • For in case of social responsibility, for an example, like throwing out garbage or rubbish into the bins itself, people don't usually do that. It's an easy thing to do and a simple thing to do and it hardly takes any time and still people are hesitant to do it and these small little things can go a long way. If people do not act with responsibility towards other members in their community, what may be the consequences? If people don't act with any social responsibility, it can create many social tensions and confusions in the society because every person should be respectful about the others who are living in the society and should care for them. Can you give an example of that? If a person who is working for an orphanage and if he is not doing his job properly, it can create a bad influence within that organization and it can lead to a downfall of the organization as well. Okay, that is the end of part three that concludes the speaking part of the IELTS exam. You will have your mark in about three days online.
