Speaking
Speaking Room
The real three-part interview, under the real clock. You type your answers; three of the four criteria are marked.
Card 7 / 16
Part 1 · Free time
Four familiar-topic questions. Answer each one, then add one reason or example — never a single word.
- What do you usually do at the weekend?
- Do you prefer spending free time alone or with other people?
- Is there a hobby you used to have but gave up?
- What new activity would you like to try?
Part 2 · The long turn
Describe a change in your life that turned out well.
You should say:
- what changed
- when it happened
- how you felt at the time
- and explain why it turned out well
1:00
One minute to prepare with paper and a pencil — the box stays locked, exactly as the examiner keeps the card. Then two minutes, and it does not stop early.
Part 3 · Discussion
Abstract follow-ups on the same theme. Give a view, a reason, an example, then the other side — a one-sentence answer is the standard failure here.
- Why do people find change difficult?
- Are young people more willing to change than older people?
- Should governments try to slow down social change?
- What kinds of change are hardest to adapt to?
