Speaking
Speaking Room
The real three-part interview, under the real clock. You type your answers; three of the four criteria are marked.
Card 5 / 16
Part 1 · Weather and seasons
Four familiar-topic questions. Answer each one, then add one reason or example — never a single word.
- 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
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.
- 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?
