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. Do you think it's important to have a work-life balance? (How do you achieve it?)
2. 2. What is your attitude towards your job or studies?
3. 3. What is the most challenging aspect of your work or study routine?
4. 4. What profession do you consider to be the most rewarding? (Why?)
