Jump to a Speaking Task
Giving Advice
Your neighbor is deciding between renting an apartment downtown or in the suburbs. Give her advice on where to live.
Sample Response
If I were in your position, I would recommend renting an apartment downtown because it would be more convenient for your daily life. Living downtown usually gives you easier access to public transportation, shops, restaurants and other services.
Another advantage is that you may spend less time commuting to work or school. You would also have more opportunities to meet people and enjoy activities close to home. For example, you could walk to a café or community event instead of driving a long distance.
Of course, the suburbs may be quieter and more affordable, so if your priority is having more space and a peaceful environment, that could be a better option. However, if convenience and accessibility are important to you, I would choose downtown.
Personal Experience
Talk about a time when you had to adapt to a significant change in your life. Maybe you moved to a new country, changed schools, or started a new job. How did you cope?
Sample Response
One significant change I experienced was starting a new job in a different city. At first, I felt nervous because I had to learn new responsibilities and work with people I had never met before.
To cope with the change, I created a simple routine and tried to stay organized. I also asked my coworkers questions whenever I was unsure about something and made an effort to communicate with them during breaks.
After a few weeks, I became much more comfortable and confident. The experience taught me that major changes can be difficult at first, but being patient, organized and open to learning can make the transition much easier.
Describe the Picture
Describe the picture to someone who cannot see it.
Sample Response Framework
The picture shows a busy train station where several people are waiting for or preparing to board a train. In the foreground, there is a man checking the time, while in the centre a group of travelers is looking at a map.
On the right side, I can see a colorful train arriving at the station. In the background, there are benches, passengers, a café and a large electronic sign showing that the City Express is arriving on Platform 3.
Overall, the scene looks busy but organized, and the travelers appear to be preparing for their journey.
Making Predictions
Look at the same picture in Task 3 again and predict what might happen next.
Sample Response
Judging by the picture, I think the City Express will arrive at Platform 3 very soon. The travelers who are looking at the map will probably check the platform information and prepare their belongings.
Once the train arrives, some passengers may board while others may leave the station. The man checking his watch is also likely to move toward the platform because he appears to be waiting for the train.
Since the station is quite busy, I think more people may gather around the platform before the train departs. Overall, the next few minutes will probably be quite active.
Comparing and Persuading
You and your friend are both looking to buy a new smartwatch. You've each picked a different option. Compare the two and convince your friend that your choice is the better buy.
Sample Response
I would choose the fitness-focused smartwatch priced at $150 because I think it offers better value for everyday use. It tracks important features such as heart rate, sleep and workouts, and it also provides up to seven days of battery life.
The premium smartwatch costs $350, so it is considerably more expensive. Although it has a sleek design and supports phone calls and apps, its battery lasts only about one to two days.
If your priority is fitness, durability, long battery life and affordability, I believe the $150 option is the better choice. The premium watch may look more stylish, but I would rather save $200 and get the features I actually need.
Dealing With a Difficult Situation
Your sibling wants to borrow a significant amount of money from your shared family savings account to start a business, but your parents are hesitant about the risk involved.
Choose ONE:
Talk to your sibling. Explain why you think the family should wait before lending the money.
OR
Talk to your parents. Explain why you think they should support your sibling's plan.
Sample Response – Talking to Your Sibling
I understand why you want to use the family savings to start your business, and I think it is great that you have a clear goal. However, I believe the family should wait before lending such a large amount of money.
First, starting a business involves financial risk, especially if we do not know whether the idea will generate enough income. The family savings may also be needed for emergencies or other important expenses.
Instead, I would suggest creating a detailed business plan and starting with a smaller amount of your own money. If the business performs well, the family could reconsider supporting you later. This would reduce the risk while still giving you a chance to pursue your idea.
Expressing an Opinion
Do you think children should be given a smartphone before the age of 12?
Sample Response
I do not think children should normally be given a smartphone before the age of 12. In my opinion, young children can benefit from technology, but they do not necessarily need a personal smartphone.
First, spending too much time on a smartphone can distract children from school, outdoor activities and face-to-face communication. For example, a child may become more interested in games or social media than homework or family activities.
Another concern is online safety. Younger children may not fully understand privacy, inappropriate content or communication with strangers. Of course, a phone can be useful in certain situations, especially for emergencies, but parents could consider a simpler device instead. Overall, I believe waiting until around age 12 is a more responsible approach.
Describing an Unusual Situation
While hanging up laundry, you found an unfamiliar piece of jewelry tangled in one of your shirts. Call your dry cleaner and describe it in detail. Ask if they know how it got there.
Sample Response
Hello, I am calling because I found something very unusual in one of my shirts after I brought my laundry home. It is a piece of jewelry that I don't recognize, and it was tangled in the fabric.
It looks like a colorful necklace with several small charms hanging from it. There appear to be different shapes and beads, and it is quite distinctive. I definitely don't remember putting anything like this in my shirt.
Could you please check whether it might have been accidentally mixed with my clothes at the dry cleaner? Maybe it belongs to another customer. I would appreciate it if you could ask your staff and let me know how it may have ended up with my laundry. Thank you for your help.
