How to answer well

• • Answer the question directly, then add a reason or example — one-word answers score badly.
• • Aim for 20–40 seconds per question at this level.
• • Use a range of tenses and linking words; the examiner is listening for variety.
• • If you lose your thread, paraphrase rather than stopping.

All questions

1. 1. Some people are talking about different hobbies or activities to do in your free time.
2. 2. Here is a picture with some ideas to help you.
3. 3. You are required to talk about the different ideas together and decide which would be the most interesting.
