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

Read the text aloud. Dear residents of Willow Court, the water supply will be turned off on Wednesday from nine until noon so that engineers can repair a pipe on the third floor. We suggest that you store a little water in advance. The laundry room will remain open. If you have questions, please speak with the building manager, Mr. Alvarez, in Apartment One.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: Speak politely and evenly, as a manager would. Stress 'turned off', 'nine until noon', and 'store a little water'. Pause after 'floor' to separate the reason from the suggestion. Pronounce 'engineers' and 'Alvarez' carefully. End with a helpful, open tone as you point to the manager.

Describe a Picture

Describe the picture in as much detail as you can.

Describe the kite in the picture in detail.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: I can see a kite in this picture. I think it's flying high above a park or a beach on a windy day, and somebody is probably holding the string on the ground. Kites are colorful and fun, especially for families on the weekend. Because it's the only object, the picture feels free and light, and it makes me think of a sunny afternoon.

Question 1: How long does your commute to work take? Question 2: How do you usually travel there? Question 3: What would you change about your commute if you could?
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: 1. My commute takes about thirty-five minutes each way. 2. I usually drive, although I take the train if the weather is bad. 3. I'd love to shorten it, maybe by moving closer to the office or by working from home more often.

Express an Opinion

Give your opinion and support it with reasons.

Some people prefer printed books, while others prefer reading e-books on a device. What is your opinion, and why?
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: Personally, I still prefer printed books, even though e-books have some practical advantages. There's something satisfying about holding a physical book, turning the pages, and seeing my progress as I move through it. Printed books also don't need charging and are easier on the eyes during long reading sessions. E-books, however, are lighter to carry and let you store an entire library on one small device, which is great for travel. In the end, I think the choice comes down to personal habit, and for me, nothing quite replaces the feeling of a real book.

Writing

Write a Sentence Based on a Picture

Write one sentence about each picture using both words.

Write ONE sentence using: bake / early (any word form).
Show sample answer
Model answer: The baker gets up early to bake the bread before the shop opens.

Show sample answer
Model answer: The chef squeezed an orange to make fresh juice for the hotel guests.

Write an Opinion Essay

Write an essay giving your opinion with reasons and examples.

Some people believe it is better to become a specialist with deep expertise in one area, while others believe being a generalist with broad skills is more valuable. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Show sample answer
Model answer: Career strategy discussions frequently center on whether deep specialization or broad, generalist skills better serve long-term professional success. Advocates for specialization argue that deep expertise commands higher respect, better compensation, and greater job security, since organizations depend heavily on experts who deeply understand a specific, often complex domain. They believe true mastery, which typically requires years of focused effort, cannot be achieved while spreading attention across many different skills simultaneously. Advocates for a generalist approach argue that rapidly changing industries increasingly reward adaptability over narrow expertise, since specialized skills can become obsolete as technology and markets evolve. They believe generalists, who can connect ideas across different fields and pivot quickly when circumstances change, are often better positioned for leadership roles that require coordinating specialists rather than performing highly specific technical tasks themselves. In my opinion, the modern economy increasingly rewards a hybrid approach, sometimes described as developing deep expertise in one area while maintaining broad competence in several complementary skills. This combination allows a person to offer genuine specialized value while remaining adaptable enough to navigate industry changes or shift roles when necessary. Rather than viewing specialist and generalist paths as opposing strategies, I believe the most resilient careers combine focused expertise with enough breadth to collaborate effectively across different functions and adapt when circumstances inevitably change.
