Speaking

Speaking Room

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

Card 14 / 16

Part 1 · Sleep and routine

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

  1. What time do you usually get up?
  2. Are you better in the morning or in the evening?
  3. Did you have a different routine when you were at school?
  4. What would help you sleep better?

Part 2 · The long turn

Describe a rule you disagree with.

You should say:

  • what the rule is
  • who made it
  • who it affects
  • and explain why you disagree with it

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 organisations need rules?
  2. Should students help decide the rules at their school?
  3. What happens when a rule is widely ignored?
  4. Are rules in your country stricter than they used to be?
