Article City Council Approves New Bike Lane Network The city council voted 6-2 this week to approve a $3.2 million plan to add protected bike lanes along four major downtown streets. Construction is set to begin in the spring and is expected to take eight months. Supporters say the lanes will improve safety for cyclists, while some downtown business owners have expressed concern about the loss of street parking during construction.
Letter to the Editor As the owner of a shop on Fifth Street, one of the affected streets, I understand the safety argument for bike lanes, but I'm worried about the eight months of construction. Losing parking spaces right outside my store during that period could seriously hurt sales. I'd like the city to consider a phased approach, starting with one street at a time, so businesses aren't all affected at once. - T. Whitcombe

20. What concern do some business owners have, according to the article?

Passengers holding tickets for this sailing may travel free on the first departure tomorrow at seven. Alternatively, a full refund is available from the ticket office. We regret the disruption and thank you for your understanding.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: Start with a clear, attention-getting 'Attention, please', then pause. Stress 'strong winds', 'cancelled', and 'seven'. Make a clear contrast between the two options with 'free' and 'full refund'. Your voice should sound sincere when you say 'We regret', with a slightly slower rhythm. Finish with a soft, polite fall.

Describe a Picture

Describe the picture in as much detail as you can.

Describe the bird in the picture in detail.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: There is a bird in this picture. It could be sitting on a branch outside an office window, or maybe it has landed on a garden fence. I like the way it stands alone, because it gives the picture a peaceful feeling. In the morning, people often hear birds singing near their workplace, and it can make the day start more pleasantly.

Express an Opinion

Give your opinion and support it with reasons.

Some companies allow employees to bring pets to work, while others do not. What is your opinion on this policy?
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: I generally support allowing pets at work, at least in offices where it's practical, because research suggests it can reduce stress and improve overall mood among employees. Having a friendly dog nearby often encourages short breaks and casual conversation, which can strengthen relationships between colleagues. However, I recognize this policy isn't suitable for every workplace, since some employees may have allergies or simply feel uncomfortable around animals. A fair compromise would be designated pet-friendly days or areas, so the benefits can be enjoyed without inconveniencing everyone else in the office.

Write an Opinion Essay

Write an essay giving your opinion with reasons and examples.

Some people believe the advantages of globalization outweigh its disadvantages, while others believe the opposite is true. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Show sample answer
Model answer: Globalization has reshaped economies, cultures, and daily life across the world, sparking ongoing debate about whether its overall effect has been positive or negative. Supporters highlight the economic growth it has generated, particularly in developing countries that gained access to international markets, foreign investment, and new technologies. Consumers worldwide now enjoy a far wider range of affordable products, and cultural exchange has enriched societies through shared food, music, and ideas that would otherwise have remained isolated. Critics, however, point to significant downsides. Globalization has contributed to job losses in industries unable to compete with cheaper overseas labor, leaving some communities economically devastated. It has also been blamed for widening inequality, as multinational corporations often capture most of the benefits while local workers see limited improvement in wages or conditions. Environmentally, increased shipping and production have accelerated resource consumption and carbon emissions, while some argue globalization erodes local cultures and traditions in favor of homogenized global brands. In my opinion, globalization has brought undeniable overall economic benefits, but its downsides have been poorly managed rather than inevitable. The solution is not to reverse globalization, which would be both impractical and costly, but to govern it more fairly. Stronger international labor standards, environmental regulations, and support for communities affected by economic shifts could preserve the benefits of global trade and exchange while addressing its most serious harms. Globalization itself is a tool; its outcomes depend on the policies that shape it.
