  2. Pytanie 2 z 16

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

    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…"

    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: 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.

    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?

    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: D. States a clear opinion

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

  4. Pytanie 4 z 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?
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: 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. Pytanie 5 z 16

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

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

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

  6. Pytanie 6 z 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…"

    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: 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. Pytanie 7 z 16

    Which sentence is the best way to make a prediction in Task 4?
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: 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. Pytanie 8 z 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…"

    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: 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. Pytanie 9 z 16

    Which phrase is most useful for comparing two options in Task 5?
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: D. "…is cheaper than…"

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

  10. Pytanie 10 z 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…"

    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: A. To give bad news politely

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

  11. Pytanie 11 z 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…"

    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: 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. Pytanie 12 z 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…"

    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: 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. Pytanie 13 z 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."

    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: 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. Pytanie 14 z 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."

    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: 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. Pytanie 15 z 16

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

    Odpowiedź: 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. Pytanie 16 z 16

    Which way of practising Speaking at home matches the official study tips?
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: 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.
