11 Grammar 2: using opinion phrases

In this part of the speaking exam, candidates are encouraged to expand their answers.

Both did this using this sequence:

Yeah, I would like to have more trips, maybe somewhere abroad, so you can learn about new
cultures or learn another language.
• opinion phrase + the candidate’s opinion + reason or extra information

Part A: Read the candidate’s answer below and divide it into sequences.

I prefer going on trips with my friends, because we can have a really good time together, we
can hang out and do whatever we want. It’s usually boring when you go with your family.

Part B: Complete the answers about sports with the opinion expressions.

It’s probably better to I would like to

1. playing golf in the summer because the weather is warmer and it’s an outdoor
sport.

2. take up tennis so I can keep fit but first I have to buy some equipment.

3. play football than basketball. Basketball is a team game, and you can’t control
where the ball is.

4. skiing is for me because I don’t like cold weather. I love watersports so I’d choose
surfing instead.

5. do exercise twice a week. I think so because every day is too tiring and I have to
study for exams too.

12 Exam practice: Speaking Part 4

10. Listening

Examiner: Andy, would you like to have more school trips?

Andy (teen boy): Yes, I’d love to have school trips more often, especially to interesting places in the
UK: London, Oxford, or Stonehenge. I think London is a really nice place to visit,
there are many monuments and museums there.

Examiner: What about you, Laura?

Laura (teen girl): Yeah, I would like to have more trips, erm, more school trips, maybe somewhere
abroad. You can learn about new cultures or learn another language. You could
also have fun with friends.

Examiner: What do you need to take when you go on a trip?

Laura: I think you have to bring a backpack or a bag. You need to bring food and something
to drink, because you can go to a place which is in the middle of nowhere and there
are no shops to buy things. If the weather is sunny, you also need to bring your
sunglasses.

Examiner: Do you prefer to go on trips with your family or your friends?

Laura: Hmm, I prefer going on trips with my friends. We can have a really good time
together, we can hang out and do whatever we want. It’s usually boring when you
go with your family.

Examiner: Do you agree, Andy?

Andy: Erm, I think it depends. I think it’s true that with your friends, you can do whatever
you like, you can go wherever you want, while when you are with your family you
have to follow your parents.

Examiner: All right then. What do you think is the best time of year to travel?

Andy: In my opinion, the best time to travel is during summer holidays. You can go to
the beach and you can have a good time, for example swimming or building castles
there. You can swim in the sea and eat ice cream. So summer is really nice, but
sometimes you can get too hot. But still, I think the best time to travel is summer.

Examiner: Which do you think is more interesting - visiting a city or visiting the countryside?

Andy: Hmm, I think the city, there’s more stuff to do.

Laura: Yes, it’s better...

Andy: ...and it’s easier. You can do more stuff and it’s more interesting.

Laura: Yeah. While in the countryside...

Andy: ...you are in the middle of nowhere and you don’t have much to do.

Laura: There is nothing interesting to do there.

Andy: ...and I think the city is more interesting, because there are museums, cinemas or
shops where you can buy things you want.

Laura: But on the other hand, if you want to spend more time in nature, the best option
would be to go to countryside. You can relax there better and hear the sounds of
nature.

Andy: That’s a good point.

Examiner: Thank you. That is the end of the test.

Laura and Andy: Thank you.
