Manual Excerpt TROUBLESHOOTING: Router Won't Connect If the router's status light is blinking orange, this usually indicates a firmware update is needed. Blinking red indicates a hardware fault requiring a replacement. Solid orange for more than 5 minutes after power-on suggests the modem connection needs to be checked.
Support Chat Customer: My router's light has been blinking red for the past hour. Agent: Thanks for that detail. Based on that pattern, I believe this indicates a hardware issue rather than something we can fix with a software update. I'll go ahead and start a replacement request for you.

19. What does a blinking orange light usually indicate?

20. What color and pattern is the customer's router light showing?

21. What does the agent decide to do?

22. Based on both texts, does the agent's diagnosis match what the manual says about a blinking red light?

Speaking

Read a Text Aloud

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

Read the text aloud. Residents of Cedar Street, please be advised that road repairs will begin on Monday the fourth and continue for about two weeks. Parking will be prohibited on both sides of the street from seven in the morning until five in the evening. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times. We apologize for the noise and inconvenience.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: This is an official, informative message, so keep your voice level and clear. Stress 'Monday the fourth', 'two weeks', and 'prohibited'. Pause after 'street' and after 'evening'. Say 'residents' and 'vehicles' with care. The final apology should be slower and slightly softer to sound sincere.

Describe a Picture

Describe the picture in as much detail as you can.

Describe what you see in this banana picture.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: I'm looking at a banana. Perhaps it's in the fruit section of a grocery store, where shoppers choose the freshest ones. The banana has a long curved shape and a thick skin that people remove before eating. It's a good energy snack for athletes and busy workers. I would say the picture suggests something cheap, fast and healthy.

Express an Opinion

Give your opinion and support it with reasons.

Some people believe recycling should be mandatory by law, with penalties for not doing it, while others believe it should remain voluntary. What is your opinion?
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: I believe recycling should be mandatory, because voluntary systems alone have not achieved the level of participation the environment urgently needs. When there are clear rules and reasonable penalties, people tend to take the habit far more seriously, similar to how seatbelt laws changed driver behavior over time. Some argue that mandatory systems feel like unnecessary government interference in daily life, and enforcement can indeed be difficult and costly. Nevertheless, I think the environmental stakes are high enough to justify firm rules, especially if combined with education and convenient recycling facilities for everyone.

Write an Opinion Essay

Write an essay giving your opinion with reasons and examples.

Is it better to visit as many different countries as possible, or to spend a long time getting to know just one country really well? Discuss both sides of this issue and explain which view you find more convincing.
Show sample answer
Model answer: Travelers often fall into two distinct camps: those who prioritize visiting as many countries as possible, and those who prefer spending extended time deeply understanding just one or two places. Advocates for visiting many countries argue that each new destination broadens perspective, exposing travelers to a wider range of cultures, languages, and ways of life. They believe this breadth of experience builds a more global outlook and greater adaptability when encountering unfamiliar situations. Advocates for deeper travel argue that superficial visits to many places often produce only surface-level impressions, missing the nuanced understanding that comes from genuinely living within a culture, learning its language, and building real relationships with local people. They believe this deeper immersion produces more meaningful personal growth and genuine cross-cultural understanding than rapidly moving between destinations without ever truly settling in. In my opinion, both approaches offer valuable but different experiences, and the ideal choice depends on a traveler's specific goals and available time. Short trips to many countries suit those seeking broad exposure and general cultural awareness, particularly earlier in life when curiosity about the wider world is strong. However, I personally believe that spending extended time in fewer places, allowing genuine relationships and understanding to develop, produces the most transformative and memorable travel experiences. Ideally, a balanced approach combines both: broad exploration earlier on, followed by deeper immersion in the places that resonate most.
