Part One — Task 1: Describe the picture

Part One. You will see a picture and answer three questions about it and the topic it shows. There is no preparation time. Each question appears on the screen and is read aloud; when you hear "Begin speaking now," start talking. You have 60 seconds to talk for each answer.

1. Describe the farmers market. You have 60 seconds to talk. Begin speaking now. Example: This picture shows a busy outdoor farmers market on a sunny morning. There's a row of white tents, and each one is selling something different. On the left, an older man with a gray beard is weighing apples on a hanging scale for a young woman who's carrying a baby on her chest. In the middle, a woman in a straw hat is handing a bunch of carrots to a boy, and he's paying with coins while his dad holds a cloth shopping bag. On the right there's a flower stall with sunflowers and tulips in buckets, and a teenage girl is putting together a bouquet. In the background, a man is playing the guitar, and a few people have stopped to listen. There's also a golden retriever drinking water from a bowl. It looks like a relaxed, friendly place.

Part One — Task 2: Personal experience

Part One. You will see a picture and answer three questions about it and the topic it shows. There is no preparation time. Each question appears on the screen and is read aloud; when you hear "Begin speaking now," start talking. You have 60 seconds to talk for each answer.

1. Tell me about a time you bought something at an outdoor market. You have 60 seconds to talk. Begin speaking now. Example: A couple of summers ago, I was visiting my aunt in a small town by the lake, and on Saturday morning she took me to the local outdoor market. It was much bigger than I expected, with maybe fifty stalls selling everything from fresh fish to handmade jewelry. I didn't plan to buy anything, but then I found a stand where an elderly woman was selling handmade wooden bowls. She told me she made them herself from fallen trees on her farm, and each one had a different pattern in the wood. I ended up buying a medium-sized bowl for about thirty dollars. At first I thought that was a little expensive, but now I use it almost every day for fruit, and whenever I look at it, I remember that sunny morning and the conversation with that woman. It's probably my favorite thing in the kitchen.

Part One — Task 3: Your opinion

Part One. You will see a picture and answer three questions about it and the topic it shows. There is no preparation time. Each question appears on the screen and is read aloud; when you hear "Begin speaking now," start talking. You have 60 seconds to talk for each answer.

1. Some people prefer to buy food at large supermarkets. Other people prefer to buy food at small local markets. Which do you prefer? Give your opinion and reasons to support it. You have 60 seconds to talk. Begin speaking now. Example: Personally, I prefer small local markets, although I understand why supermarkets are popular. My main reason is freshness. At a local market, the fruit and vegetables often come from farms nearby, so they're picked a day or two before, and you can really taste the difference, especially with things like tomatoes and strawberries. Second, I like supporting local farmers and small businesses. When I buy directly from the people who grow the food, more of my money goes to them instead of a big company. And third, it's just a nicer experience. You can talk to the sellers, ask how to cook something, and sometimes try a sample. Of course, supermarkets are more convenient because they're open late and have everything in one place, and sometimes they're cheaper. But for fresh food, I'd still choose the local market.

Part Two — Task 4: Advantages and disadvantages

Part Two. You will answer two questions that are not related to Part One. There is no preparation time. When you hear "Begin speaking now," start talking. You have 90 seconds to talk for each answer.

1. Your friend has asked you to share an apartment with him next year. The apartment is bigger and closer to downtown than where you live now, but you would share the kitchen and living room with him. What are the advantages and disadvantages of moving into this apartment with your friend? You have 90 seconds to talk. Begin speaking now. Example: Well, there are definitely some advantages to moving in with my friend. First, the location is better. Being closer to downtown would mean a shorter commute, and I'd be near restaurants, shops, and public transportation, so I probably wouldn't need to drive as much. Second, the apartment is bigger, and since we'd be splitting the rent, I might actually pay less than I do now for more space. It could also be fun to live with a friend. We could cook together, watch games, and I'd have company in the evenings.On the other hand, there are some real disadvantages. Sharing a kitchen and living room means less privacy. If I want a quiet evening and he wants to invite people over, that could cause problems. We might also have different habits, for example about cleaning or how late we stay up. And the biggest risk, I think, is the friendship itself. Sometimes small arguments about dishes or bills can damage a good friendship. So before deciding, I'd want to talk honestly with him about rules and expectations. If we agreed on those, I think the advantages would be greater than the disadvantages.

Part Two — Task 5: Convince someone

Part Two. You will answer two questions that are not related to Part One. There is no preparation time. When you hear "Begin speaking now," start talking. You have 90 seconds to talk for each answer.

1. The city library is thinking about closing on Sundays to save money. I am the director of the library. Tell me what you think about this and try to convince me to agree with you. You have 90 seconds to talk. Begin speaking now. Example: Thank you for listening to my opinion. I understand that the library needs to save money, but I really believe closing on Sundays would be a mistake. For many people in this city, Sunday is the only day they can visit. Parents who work during the week bring their children here on Sunday afternoons to borrow books and join the reading activities. If you close that day, those families might stop coming completely.Sunday is also important for students. Before exams, the study rooms are always full on Sundays because it's quiet and there's free Wi-Fi. Not every student has a peaceful place to study at home. And for some older residents, the library is where they read the newspaper and meet friends, so it's part of their social life.I'd like to suggest some other ways to save money. For example, you could open a little later on weekday mornings, when the building is usually almost empty. You could also ask local businesses to sponsor Sunday programs, or invite volunteers to help at the front desk. I think the community would be happy to help if you asked. So please, keep the library open on Sundays. It's one of the busiest and most valuable days of the week.
