Speaking

Read a Text Aloud

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

Read the text aloud. Welcome to Central Parking. The first hour costs three dollars, and each additional hour costs two dollars, up to a daily maximum of twenty. Please take your ticket and keep it with you, because you will need it to pay at the machine before returning to your car. Lost tickets are charged at the maximum rate. Drive safely.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: A recorded message is clear and slightly mechanical, but it should not sound cold. Stress the prices: three dollars, two dollars, and twenty. Pause after 'maximum of twenty' and after 'your car'. Emphasize 'keep it with you' and 'Lost tickets'. Finish with a short, friendly 'Drive safely' in a lower tone.

Describe a Picture

Describe the picture in as much detail as you can.

Describe the bus in the picture in detail.
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: This picture shows a bus. It's probably stopping at a bus stop in a city, where passengers are waiting to get on and go to work or school. Buses are a cheap way to travel, and they also reduce traffic. I can only see the vehicle itself, so I imagine the driver is inside, ready to start the next journey.

Show sample answer

Express an Opinion

Give your opinion and support it with reasons.

Some people believe it is better to stay near family throughout life, while others believe moving away for career opportunities is worth it. 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 this decision depends heavily on personal priorities, but I would generally lean towards moving for the right career opportunity, especially earlier in life. A better job can bring financial security and personal growth that benefit both the individual and, eventually, their family. Staying close to family offers emotional support and stronger relationships, which are equally valuable and harder to replace once lost. My honest view is that with modern communication, staying connected across distance is easier than before, which makes moving for a genuine opportunity a reasonable and often worthwhile choice.

Write an Opinion Essay

Write an essay giving your opinion with reasons and examples.

Some people believe companies should be allowed to monitor employees' work emails, while others believe this violates employee privacy. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Show sample answer
Model answer: As remote and digital work has expanded, the question of whether companies should monitor employees' work emails has become increasingly relevant. Supporters of monitoring argue that companies have a legitimate interest in protecting sensitive information, preventing data leaks, and ensuring employees are not misusing company resources or engaging in inappropriate conduct through official communication channels. They believe that since email accounts and equipment belong to the company, reasonable oversight is a fair condition of employment. Opponents argue that constant monitoring creates an atmosphere of distrust, potentially harming morale and making employees feel like they are being treated as suspects rather than trusted professionals. They also raise concerns about the boundary between monitoring for legitimate security purposes and invasive surveillance that extends into employees' more personal communications, even when technically using a work account, which could feel like an unreasonable intrusion into personal autonomy. In my opinion, limited, clearly disclosed monitoring focused specifically on security and compliance is reasonable, provided employees are informed in advance about exactly what is monitored and why. However, I believe companies should avoid excessive surveillance that extends beyond genuine security needs into general behavioral monitoring, since this crosses from legitimate business protection into unnecessary invasion of privacy. Clear, transparent policies, developed with employee input, would help balance a company's legitimate security interests with employees' reasonable expectation of privacy and trust in the workplace.
