A decision before an answer
- A speaker can prefer online reading while still valuing printed books. A retelling should preserve that qualification.
- Your goal: Retell a longer message without losing its main claim and supporting reason.
Read the relationship
- The new level-five oral sample comprises two ninety-second retellings, one picture task with three minutes preparation and two minutes speaking, and two questions with three and a half minutes preparation and two and a half minutes speaking each. Total time is about twenty-three minutes including ten minutes preparation.
- Develop a picture response with clear references.
Source says tools may help. Faithful retelling says:

The modal strength must be preserved.
Use the defining rule
- For a longer retelling, prioritise the main point, major reason, example and limitation. Keep causal claims at their original strength: maybe / possible可能 helps is not definitely一定 helps. Use your own connected wording, but do not insert your personal conclusion into the source speaker’s account. A transcript becomes available only after the response is recorded.
- Compare options and qualify a spoken judgment.
Which comparison has a criterion?

Comparing passages supplies a relevant basis.
Check the conditions
- For a picture, organise description from overview to important details and relationships. Maintain stable references when several people appear. An interpretation may follow the visible description, but explain which details support it and avoid certainty beyond the evidence.
- Compare options and qualify a spoken judgment.
Original spoken comparison beginning: I / me我ordinarily平时to like喜欢to use / with用electronic book电子书，because因为to take the car, bus, train…坐车o'clock时also也can / be able to能to read阅读。but不过，variant of 复习复习比较复杂(modifier / structural particle)的content内容o'clock时，我会to select选择paper纸质book书，this way / so这样more更easy容易to make a round trip来回fairly / rather比较different不同(modifier / structural particle)的phase段落。to / towards / correct对I / me我来说，to select选择which哪to plant种way方式to hinge on取决于to read阅读(modifier / structural particle)的purpose目的。 The judgment uses context rather than claiming one format is always best.

取决于 introduces the determining condition.
Apply the task format
- For a comparison question, choose useful criteria such as access, concentration and convenience. Explain one option’s strength and a circumstance favouring the other, then draw a qualified conclusion. Use preparation for key points rather than a fully scripted monologue. Assess responsiveness, development, coherence, language range and intelligibility with human notes.
- Compare options and qualify a spoken judgment.
Do not replace the source speaker’s qualified position with an absolute claim or use unrelated memorised material to fill the response time.
Which answer fits this case?
Retell a longer message without losing its main claim and supporting reason
Longer speech is stronger even when it stops answering the question.
