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. Are you concerned about environmental issues? (Which ones?)
2. 2. What daily habits do you have to protect the environment?
3. 3. Do you think governments are doing enough to combat climate change? (What more could they do?)
4. 4. How do you feel about renewable energy sources like solar or wind power?
