activity is the best way to learn a new language.
There are THREE options for you to choose:
- Join a class.
- Self-study.
- Talk to native speakers
There are some reasons why I choose this option (1)
In the first place, students can have the good learning environment, get the right
instructions from teachers with the best methods, practice with teachers and friends.
Part 1. Social Interaction
Housework.
1. How do you share housework in your family?
 Female: In my family I often prepare meals and wash clothes while my
husband does some technical work like repairing things. However,
sometimes when I am busy, my husband helps me to cook.
 Male: In my family my wife often prepares meals and washes clothes
and I do some technical work like repairing things. However,
sometimes when my wife is busy, I am willing to help her to cook.
2. Do you think children should help with the housework?
 Yes, I totally agree that children should help their parents do the
housework that is suitable with their ages Examiner speaking: What
are some of the things that your family usually do together? We
usually watch TV together in the evening. Sometimes at weekends we
go out to eat in a restaurants or travel to some new places
Fashion.
1. Do you try to follow the latest fashion?
 Not usually but sometimes in fact. Although I am not really
fashionable, I think that I should keep up to date with new fashion to
keep my image in other people’s eyes.
2. What kind of clothes do you like to wear?

dress

Part 2. Solution: In this part of the speaking test, you will be given a
situation with THREE options. You have to choose ONE to argue on. You will
have to say which option you will follow and explain why. You will also have
to say why you haven’t chosen the other two options. You have ONE minute
to prepare your talk and TWO minutes to talk. Here is the situation. Situation:
You are giving a short talk on language learning. You will decide which
activity is the best way to learn a new language. There are THREE options for
you to choose:
– Join a class.
– Self-study.
– Talk to native speakers
In learning a language, there are many different options such as joining a
class, learning by oneself and talking to native speakers. In my opinion,
talking to native speakers is the best way to acquire a new language.
Communicating with native speakers can help people make sure whether
they can make themselves understood. What is more, it is a great chance for
language learners to practise their pronunciation and sharpen their
communicating skills. Besides, having talks with foreigners can act as a
motivation for language learners. Joining a class is also a good way but
looking for a good classroom is not an easy job. Self-studying is necessary in
language learning, however it is more suitable for language learners of high
level than low level ones. All things considered, I believe that talking to
native speakers is the best way to learn a language
Part 3. Topic: Being famous
Loss of privacy
Pressure to perform
– Which qualities should a famous person have?
– Why does the young generation copy them?
– If you had a chance to become famous, who would you like to become?
Being famous, in fact, is not always advantageous. Famous people usually
feel stressful as they need to meet people’s expectations. Sometimes they
need to try their best to keep their image good and therefore do not dare to
show their real feelings. Being famous means being followed by many
people. This naturally puts pressure on famed people, they need to perform
well every time, everywhere and are easy to be depressed once they cannot
do their job perfectly. The biggest problem is that famous people normally
lose their privacy. Nearly every thing that they do can be published in the
newspaper. Thus, not only famous people but also their family members are
irritated sometimes. So, I think, being famous is, in fact, not always good.
