Listening audio is read aloud by your browser's voice. For Speaking you can record yourself and compare with a model answer, and Writing tasks include a model answer — neither is scored automatically, since that needs real speech and writing evaluation this site does not offer for this exam.

Speaking

Read a Text Aloud

Read the text aloud. You have 45 seconds to speak.

Read the text aloud. The Ashford Art Gallery is proud to present 'Colors of the Coast', a new exhibition of paintings by twelve regional artists. The show opens on Saturday and runs until the end of August. Admission is five dollars, or free for members. A curator will lead a special tour every Sunday at three. The gallery closes at six and is closed on Mondays.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: Use a refined, slightly slower voice, as befits an art gallery. Give the exhibition title a gentle emphasis, and pronounce 'curator' clearly. Stress 'twelve', 'Saturday', 'five dollars', and 'free for members'. Take short pauses after 'exhibition' and after 'August'. The closing information should be delivered quickly but clearly.

Describe a Picture

Describe the picture in as much detail as you can.

Say as much as you can about this phone.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: This picture shows a phone. I think a traveler is using it to find directions in an unfamiliar city, looking at a map or checking the time of the next train. Phones have replaced many objects, such as cameras, maps and alarm clocks. The image is simple, but it shows how useful this small device is in daily life.

Respond to Questions

Answer three questions.

Imagine a British market researcher is phoning you about home renovation projects. Answer three questions.

Question 1: Have you renovated any part of your home recently? Question 2: What made you decide to start the project? Question 3: What was the most challenging part of the process?
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: 1. Yes, I renovated my kitchen about a year ago. 2. The old kitchen was outdated and the appliances kept breaking down, so it made sense to replace everything. 3. Finding reliable workers who could finish on schedule was the most challenging part.

Express an Opinion

Give your opinion and support it with reasons.

Some people believe everyone should be required to learn CPR and basic first aid, while others think it should remain optional. What is your opinion?
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: I firmly believe CPR and basic first aid should be a required part of everyone's education, ideally taught in schools. Emergencies can happen anywhere, and knowing how to respond in the first few minutes can genuinely save a life before professional help arrives. Making it optional means many people never learn these skills simply out of a lack of time or awareness, which seems like an unnecessary risk to public safety. While some worry about adding another requirement to already busy school schedules, I think a short, practical course would be a worthwhile investment for society.

Write an Opinion Essay

Write an essay giving your opinion with reasons and examples.

Some people believe living in a big city offers a better quality of life, while others believe living in a small town is preferable. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Show sample answer
Model answer: Choosing between city and small-town living involves weighing very different sets of advantages, and people's preferences often reflect their personal priorities and stage of life. Supporters of big city living point to greater career opportunities, diverse cultural experiences, and convenient access to a wide range of restaurants, entertainment, and services. Cities also tend to offer stronger public transport networks, reducing the need for a car, and larger, more diverse social circles. Supporters of small towns, however, emphasize a slower pace of life, lower cost of living, and closer-knit communities where neighbors often know one another personally. Small towns typically offer cleaner air, less noise, and shorter commutes, which many people find contributes significantly to reduced stress and improved mental well-being. Housing is usually far more affordable, allowing families to own larger homes than they could afford in a city. In my opinion, neither option is universally better, since the right choice depends heavily on individual circumstances and priorities. Young professionals early in their careers may benefit more from a city's opportunities and networking potential, while families prioritizing space, community, and affordability may find small towns more rewarding. Increasingly, remote work has also blurred this choice, allowing some people to enjoy small-town living while still accessing city-level career opportunities, suggesting the traditional trade-off may become less rigid over time.
