Speaking
Speaking Room
The real three-part interview, under the real clock. You type your answers; three of the four criteria are marked.
Card 19 / 40
Part 1 · Food and cooking
Four familiar-topic questions. Answer each one, then add one reason or example — never a single word.
- What did you have for breakfast this morning?
- Do you prefer eating at home or eating out? Why?
- Have your eating habits changed in the last few years?
- Is there a dish you would like to learn to cook?
Part 2 · The long turn
Describe a book you borrowed and enjoyed.
You should say:
- what the book was about
- where you borrowed it
- what you particularly remember
- and explain why you enjoyed it
1:00
One minute to prepare with paper and a pencil — the box stays locked, exactly as the examiner keeps the card. Then two minutes, and it does not stop early.
Part 3 · Discussion
Abstract follow-ups on the same theme. Give a view, a reason, an example, then the other side — a one-sentence answer is the standard failure here.
- What are the advantages of borrowing rather than buying books?
- How can a library help readers choose suitable books?
- Does reading on a screen change how people choose material?
- Should readers finish a book they do not enjoy?
