Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.

Model answer: This is a loaf of bread. I imagine that someone at an office has bought it to make sandwiches for a team lunch. It could be white or brown bread, and it would be easy to slice. Bread is inexpensive and filling, so it's a good choice for a large group. The picture makes me think of a simple, honest meal.

Express an Opinion

Give your opinion and support it with reasons.

Some people prefer cooking meals at home, while others prefer ordering takeout food. Which do you think is better, and why?
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: I think cooking at home is generally the better option, mainly for health and financial reasons. When you cook yourself, you control exactly what goes into your meal, which makes it easier to eat balanced, less processed food. It's also usually cheaper than ordering the same meal from a restaurant. Takeout, however, saves time and effort, which matters a lot on busy days or after a long shift at work. I try to cook most nights but allow myself takeout occasionally as a treat, so I would say a healthy balance between the two makes the most sense.

Write an Opinion Essay

Write an essay giving your opinion with reasons and examples.

Some people believe it is better to learn primarily through making and correcting mistakes, while others believe following established rules and guidance is more effective. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Show sample answer
Model answer: Approaches to learning and personal development often fall into two broad camps: those who value learning through direct experience and mistakes, and those who prioritize following established rules and expert guidance from the outset. Advocates for learning through mistakes argue that direct experience creates deeper, more memorable understanding than simply being told what to do, and that the confidence gained from overcoming setbacks builds resilience that pure rule-following cannot provide. Advocates for following established rules argue that guidance and best practices exist precisely because previous generations already made and learned from these mistakes, meaning careful attention to established knowledge can prevent unnecessary suffering, wasted time, or even dangerous outcomes in fields like medicine or engineering, where trial and error carries serious risk. They believe blindly rejecting proven guidance in favor of personal experimentation is often simply inefficient or reckless. In my opinion, the most effective approach depends heavily on the context and stakes involved. In low-risk, creative pursuits, making mistakes and learning directly from them often produces genuine growth and deeper understanding. However, in high-stakes fields where errors have serious consequences, following established rules and expert guidance is clearly the wiser initial approach, with room for creative experimentation only after foundational competence has been demonstrated. Neither approach should be applied universally without considering the actual risks and learning goals involved.
