Speaking

Speaking Room

The real three-part interview, under the real clock. You type your answers; three of the four criteria are marked.

Card 6 / 16

Part 1 · Travel and transport

Four familiar-topic questions. Answer each one, then add one reason or example — never a single word.

  1. How do you usually get to school or work?
  2. What do you think of the public transport where you live?
  3. Have you ever travelled by train for a long distance?
  4. Where would you go if you had a free week?

Part 2 · The long turn

Describe something you own that is important to you.

You should say:

  • what it is
  • how you got it
  • how often you use it
  • and explain why it matters to you

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.

  1. Why do people become attached to objects?
  2. Do people own more things than they used to?
  3. Is it better to repair something or replace it?
  4. Do advertisements change what people want to own?
