Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: I can see a bag in this picture. It could be a shoulder bag that someone carries to work with a laptop and papers, or a bag for shopping. I imagine it might be sitting near a door, ready for a business trip. It's the only object, so it seems important, and I think it suggests travel or a busy day.

Express an Opinion

Give your opinion and support it with reasons.

Some people think team sports are more beneficial than individual sports, while others disagree. What do you think?
Recorded on your device only — play it back and compare with the model answer.
Show sample answer
Model answer: I believe team sports offer more benefits overall, especially for young people. Playing on a team teaches cooperation, communication, and how to handle both winning and losing together, which are skills that transfer directly to the workplace. Individual sports, such as swimming or tennis, do build strong self-discipline and personal responsibility, since success depends entirely on one's own effort. However, I think the social skills gained from team sports are harder to develop alone. Ideally, someone would try both, but if I had to choose one, team sports would be my recommendation for most children.

Before I confirm, could you tell me roughly how many hours a week this would involve, and whether it would overlap with my current workload? I'm keen to make sure I can commit properly if I join. Best regards

Write an Opinion Essay

Write an essay giving your opinion with reasons and examples.

Some people believe employers should adopt a four-day work week as standard practice, while others believe the traditional five-day week should remain in place. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Show sample answer
Model answer: The idea of a four-day work week has gained significant attention following successful trials in several countries, prompting debate about whether it should become standard practice. Supporters argue that employees given an extra day off return to work more rested and motivated, often maintaining or even improving productivity despite working fewer hours. They also point to improved mental health, better work-life balance, and reduced burnout as significant benefits for both employees and, indirectly, employers through lower staff turnover. Opponents, however, argue that a shorter week is simply impractical for many industries, particularly those requiring continuous operation, such as healthcare, retail, and manufacturing, where reducing working days could compromise service quality or require costly additional staffing. Some employers also worry that compressing the same workload into fewer days could increase daily stress rather than genuinely reduce it, undermining the policy's intended benefits. In my opinion, a four-day work week holds real promise for many office-based and knowledge-work industries, where output depends more on focused effort than continuous physical presence. However, I don't believe it should be mandated universally across all sectors, since the practical challenges in certain industries are genuine rather than simply resistance to change. A flexible approach, where companies experiment based on their specific operational needs, seems more realistic than a single standard applied uniformly across every type of business.
