Speaking
Speaking Room
Typed preparation for a three-part interview, with a timed long-turn exercise. Feedback reviews your written answers; it does not assess spoken fluency or pronunciation or estimate a Speaking band.

Part 1 · Weather and seasons
Answer the familiar-topic questions directly. Add a relevant detail, reason or example when it helps explain your answer; match the question rather than following a fixed formula.
- What is the weather like where you live?
- Which season do you like best, and why?
- Does the weather affect how you feel?
- What did you do the last time it rained all day?
Part 2 · The long turn
Describe a decision you had to make.
You should say:
- what the decision was
- what the choices were
- who helped you
- and explain how you decided
One minute to make notes, then a two-minute practice window. The box stays locked during preparation and locks again when the window ends. Typing during this clock does not show how long your answer takes aloud.
Part 3 · Discussion
Discuss the follow-up questions on this theme. Develop the point the question asks for, using reasons, examples or qualifications where relevant; an opposing view is optional.
- Do people make better decisions alone or in a group?
- Should young people make their own decisions about their education?
- Why do people sometimes regret decisions that were sensible at the time?
- Is it possible to make good decisions quickly?
