Speaking
Speaking Room
The real three-part interview, under the real clock. You type your answers; three of the four criteria are marked.
Card 13 / 16
Part 1 · Photographs
Four familiar-topic questions. Answer each one, then add one reason or example — never a single word.
- Do you take many photographs?
- What do you usually photograph?
- Do you ever print them, or keep them all on your phone?
- Has anyone in your family kept old photographs?
Part 2 · The long turn
Describe a plan you have for the next few years.
You should say:
- what the plan is
- when you made it
- what you need to do first
- and explain why it matters to you
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 plan further ahead than they used to?
- Is it useful to have a long-term plan?
- Why do so many plans not work out?
- Should governments plan decades ahead?
