Themaquiz 5: Speaking practice with model answers

  1. Vraag 1 van 16

    Read the Task 1 prompt and the start of the model answer. Why is "First," a good choice here?

    Task 1 prompt: Your friend Mei is moving to Calgary in January for a new job. She has never lived in a cold place. Give her advice about getting ready for winter.

    Model answer (start): "Hi Mei, congratulations on the new job! I have a few suggestions to help you get ready for winter. First, buy a warm winter coat, boots and gloves before you arrive, because you'll need them on your first day…"

    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: B. It signals the first of several suggestions

    Transitions like "First," "Another idea is" and "Finally" signal each new suggestion and help Content/Coherence.

  2. Vraag 2 van 16

    Read the Task 1 prompt and the start of the model answer. Who is the speaker talking to?

    Task 1 prompt: Your friend Mei is moving to Calgary in January for a new job. She has never lived in a cold place. Give her advice about getting ready for winter.

    Model answer (start): "Hi Mei, congratulations on the new job! I have a few suggestions to help you get ready for winter. First, buy a warm winter coat, boots and gloves before you arrive, because you'll need them on your first day…"

    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: C. Mei, directly, as a friend

    In Task 1 you speak directly to the person who needs advice. Saying "Hi Mei" and using "you" sets the right friendly tone.

  3. Vraag 3 van 16

    Read the Task 7 prompt and the start of the model answer. What does the first sentence do?

    Task 7 prompt: Do you think cities should make public transit free for everyone?

    Model answer (start): "In my opinion, cities should make public transit free. I have three main reasons. To begin with, it would help people with low incomes get to work and school…"

    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: D. States a clear opinion

    A strong Task 7 answer starts by stating your opinion clearly, then supports it with reasons.

  4. Vraag 4 van 16

    You plan to spend 10 seconds stating your opinion and 10 seconds concluding in Task 7. About how much time is left for each of three reasons?
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: C. About 23 seconds

    Task 7 has 90 seconds. 90 − 10 − 10 = 70 seconds, and 70 ÷ 3 is about 23 seconds for each reason.

  5. Vraag 5 van 16

    In Task 2 (Personal Experience), which verb tense will you use most?
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: A. Past tense ("I moved")

    Task 2 is a story about something that already happened, so most verbs are in the past tense.

  6. Vraag 6 van 16

    Read the start of the Task 3 model answer. What does the first sentence do?

    Task 3 model answer (start): "This picture shows a busy farmers' market on a sunny morning. In the middle, a man is choosing apples at a fruit stand, and on the right a young girl is holding a big bunch of balloons…"

    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: C. A general statement about the scene

    The first sentence sums up the scene. Then the speaker moves to details, using place words like "in the middle" and "on the right".

  7. Vraag 7 van 16

    Which sentence is the best way to make a prediction in Task 4?
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: C. "The balloons will probably fly away."

    Task 4 is about what will happen next, so use future forms like "will probably", "is going to" or "might".

  8. Vraag 8 van 16

    Read the Task 5 situation and the start of the model answer. What does the speaker do first?

    Task 5 situation: Your family is choosing a weekend trip. You chose a cabin by a lake. Your brother suggests a hotel downtown.

    Model answer (start): "I can see why the hotel sounds nice, because it's close to restaurants. However, I really think the cabin is a better choice. It's quieter, and it costs less…"

    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: B. Accepts the other idea, then argues for the cabin

    Persuading works well when you show you understand the other choice, then compare and explain why yours is better.

  9. Vraag 9 van 16

    Which phrase is most useful for comparing two options in Task 5?
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: D. "…is cheaper than…"

    Comparisons like "cheaper than", "more convenient than" and "better for" are the key language of Task 5.

  10. Vraag 10 van 16

    Read the Task 6 situation and model answer. Why does the speaker say "I'm afraid" and "I'm really sorry"?

    Task 6 situation: You work at a bakery. A regular customer asks you to save the last chocolate cake for her, but your manager has already promised it to another customer. Explain the situation to the regular customer.

    Model answer (start): "Hi Mrs. Chen, thank you so much for asking. I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid the last chocolate cake has already been promised to someone else…"

    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: A. To give bad news politely

    Task Fulfillment includes tone. With a customer, polite phrases like "I'm afraid" soften bad news.

  11. Vraag 11 van 16

    In the Task 6 bakery situation, what would make the answer more complete?

    Task 6 situation: You work at a bakery. A regular customer asks you to save the last chocolate cake for her, but your manager has already promised it to another customer. Explain the situation to the regular customer.

    Model answer (start): "Hi Mrs. Chen, thank you so much for asking. I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid the last chocolate cake has already been promised to someone else…"

    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: C. Offering a cake for another day

    A complete answer explains the problem and offers a helpful solution. A one-line answer would score low on Task Fulfillment.

  12. Vraag 12 van 16

    Read the start of the Task 8 model answer. What makes this description clear for someone who cannot see the picture?

    Task 8 model answer (start): "Hi Alex, I'm looking at a really strange bicycle. It's about the size of a normal bike, but it has three wheels in a row, one behind the other. The seat is shaped like a hand, and it's bright orange…"

    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: C. Size, shape, colour and a comparison

    In Task 8, the listener cannot see the picture, so details of size, shape, colour and position, and comparisons to familiar things, help most.

  13. Vraag 13 van 16

    Read the Task 1 sample answer. Which dimension needs the most improvement?

    Task 1 prompt: Your coworker wants to start running to get fit. Give him advice.

    Sample answer: "Running is good. It is good for your heart. Also, good shoes are good. A good plan is good too. Running with friends is also good."

    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: A. Vocabulary: "good" is used again and again

    The ideas are on topic, but almost every sentence uses "good". Vocabulary rewards range and precise word choice, such as "healthy", "supportive" or "realistic".

  14. Vraag 14 van 16

    Read the Task 7 sample answer. What is the main problem?

    Task 7 prompt: Do you think children should learn to cook at school?

    Sample answer: "I love cooking. Last weekend I made pasta for my family, and my sister helped me. We bought tomatoes at the store, and the sauce was delicious. Then we watched a movie together."

    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: D. It does not answer the question

    The speaker tells a story but never says whether children should learn to cook at school. Task Fulfillment checks relevance to the task.

  15. Vraag 15 van 16

    You make a small grammar mistake while speaking. What is the best thing to do?
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: D. Fix it quickly and keep going

    Listenability includes pauses and self-correction. A quick fix is fine, but long silences or restarting waste time and break the flow.

  16. Vraag 16 van 16

    Which way of practising Speaking at home matches the official study tips?
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: B. Record yourself with a timer and review it

    Recording yourself with the real task times lets you check Content/Coherence, Vocabulary, Listenability and Task Fulfillment, just as raters will.
