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 · Travel and transport
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.
- How do you usually get to school or work?
- What do you think of the public transport where you live?
- Have you ever travelled by train for a long distance?
- 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 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.
- Why do people become attached to objects?
- Do people own more things than they used to?
- Is it better to repair something or replace it?
- Do advertisements change what people want to own?
