Speaking

Speaking Room

The real three-part interview, under the real clock. You type your answers; three of the four criteria are marked.

Card 30 / 40

Part 1 · Languages

Four familiar-topic questions. Answer each one, then add one reason or example — never a single word.

  1. How long have you been learning English?
  2. What part of it do you find hardest?
  3. Would you like to learn another language? Which one?
  4. How do you practise outside your lessons?

Part 2 · The long turn

Describe a tradition that is important to your family.

You should say:

  • what your family does
  • when you do it
  • how you take part
  • and explain why it matters to you

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.

  1. Why do some family traditions continue while others change?
  2. Should younger people be allowed to adapt traditions?
  3. Can a small everyday habit become a tradition?
  4. How can families include people who live far away?
