Pause after 'suppliers' and after 'recommended'. End with a gentle but clear invitation, keeping your pitch soft and steady.

Describe a Picture

Describe the picture in as much detail as you can.

Describe the cat in the picture in detail.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: In this picture I can see a cat. It might be sitting on a desk in a small office or at home, watching someone work. Cats are usually quiet, so it wouldn't disturb the staff. The cat is the only thing in the image, so I would say the photo is about a pet that keeps people company during the working day.

Express an Opinion

Give your opinion and support it with reasons.

Some people think tipping at restaurants should be mandatory and included in the bill, while others prefer it to remain optional. What is your view?
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: I actually prefer a system where a service charge is included automatically rather than leaving tipping optional. Mandatory service charges guarantee that staff receive fair pay regardless of how generous or forgetful a particular customer is, and they remove the awkwardness of calculating a tip. Some people argue optional tipping rewards excellent service and motivates staff to work harder, which is a fair point. However, I think restaurants should simply pay proper wages and reflect the true cost of the meal in the price, rather than relying on customers to cover the difference through tips.

Write an Opinion Essay

Write an essay giving your opinion with reasons and examples.

Some people believe companies should be required to share a portion of their profits with employees, while others believe this should remain a voluntary business decision. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Show sample answer
Model answer: As concerns about income inequality grow, some argue that companies should be legally required to share profits with their employees, rather than leaving such decisions entirely to management discretion. Supporters believe that employees, through their daily labor, directly contribute to a company's success, and that mandatory profit-sharing would more fairly distribute the rewards of that success rather than concentrating gains among executives and shareholders alone. They argue this could also boost morale and productivity, since employees would have a direct financial stake in the company's performance. Opponents argue that mandatory profit-sharing removes important flexibility that businesses need, particularly smaller companies or those facing difficult financial periods where profits may be reinvested into growth rather than distributed. They believe decisions about compensation structures, including optional bonuses or stock options, should remain a competitive tool companies use voluntarily to attract talent, rather than a fixed legal obligation applied uniformly regardless of a company's specific circumstances. In my opinion, mandatory profit-sharing across all companies would likely be too rigid and could discourage investment or expansion, particularly among smaller businesses. However, I believe larger, consistently profitable companies have a stronger obligation to share success more broadly with employees, whether through profit-sharing schemes, meaningful bonuses, or stock ownership programs. Encouraging, rather than strictly mandating, such practices through tax incentives could achieve fairer outcomes without imposing excessive rigidity on businesses of every size and financial situation.
