 QUESTION: State
whether you agree or disagree with the following
statement. Then explain your reasons using specific details in your
argument. Teachers should assign daily homework to students.

• ANSWER: I agree with the idea of giving children homework

on a daily basis.  I feel this way for two reasons. 
• First of all, I think that it will help children to retain what
SPEAKING they learn for a much longer period of time.  The only real
way for kids to absorb a lesson is to actually go home and
QUESTION repeat it as much as they possibly can.  And in the long run
this kind of thing will lead to a lot more academic success.
1: • Secondly, I believe that homework can actually give children
an opportunity to bond with their parents.  For example, I
got a lot of daily homework when I was in elementary
school. And I’d go home and do it with my mom and dad,
and I’d ask them questions whenever I was having trouble.
And in time we actually became really close.
 QUESTION:  Do
you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Children should help their parents with household chores as soon as
they are old enough. Use details and examples in your response.

• ANSWER: I think it’s a great idea for kids to do household

chores as soon as they’re old enough.  
• First of all, this can teach children some really valuable skills
SPEAKING that will come in handy later in life.  For instance, I was
responsible for cooking breakfast for my little brother every
QUESTION day before we went to school when we were both kids.  As a
result, when I went away to college as a teenager I stayed
2: really healthy because I could cook my own meals instead of
always going out for fast food like my friends and
classmates.
• Secondly, parents and children can do household chores
together and this gives them a change to bond.  You know,
as they work on things like cleaning dishes or cooking food
they can chat, and the kids might open up about what’s
going on in their lives.
 QUESTION:  There
are many different approaches to academic studies, and
all of them have specific benefits. Do you prefer to study for tests in a
group, or to study alone? Include details and examples to support your
explanation.

• ANSWER: I prefer studying for my tests all by myself.  I feel

this way for two reasons.
•  First of all, I can focus entirely on what I need to learn. 
SPEAKING When we study in a group everyone has different weak
spots, and they all deserve to be touched on, even if some
QUESTION members of the group are really strong in those areas.  In
contrast, when we work alone we can focus entirely on our
3: own weak spots and therefore get the best possible test
score.
• Secondly, I’m easily distracted which can have disastrous
effects when I study in a group.  For instance, last year I was
preparing for a midterm exam with a bunch of classmates
but we ended up chatting a lot about music and sports
instead of studying.  And, therefore, my test score was quite
bad.
 QUESTION:  Somepeople like to watch television news programs every day,
while others like to watch them only now and then. Which do you prefer?
Include details and examples to support your explanation.

• ANSWER: I definitely prefer to watch the news only

occasionally. There are two reasons for this.
• First of all, too much time spent watching the nightly
SPEAKING news makes me feel really anxious.  For instance, if I
QUESTION hear about some new war or disaster every day of the
week I get really depressed and this make it a lot harder
4: to function in my daily life.
• Secondly, I think watching the news every day can be a
waste of time. Like, if I spend an hour every day
watching a news broadcast I just don’t have enough
time for more important things. For example, this
month I stopped watching the nightly news and
suddenly it became a lot easier to get all of my
homework assignments done.
 QUESTION:  Somecompanies have rules that forbid employees from using
personal cell phones during working hours. Do you think this is a good idea?
Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

• ANSWER: I think it’s a really terrible idea to tell employees

that they can’t use their phones during working hours. 
• First of all, our personal phones are the only way for us
SPEAKING to hear about emergencies affecting our loved ones.  And
this is something we want to hear about as soon as
QUESTION humanly possible.  You know, if a worker feels nervous
5: about being out of touch with his loved ones during the
day, he might actually start looking around for a job that
lets him use his phone and this would be really bad for
business.
• Secondly, I think personal phones can maybe improve
our morale at work.  We can relieve our stress by making
a quick phone call or looking at a social media post.  And
if we feel happier we’ll probably performer a lot better.
 QUESTION:  Nowadays,some people use extreme methods, including surgery, to
change their appearance. They do this because they want to look more
attractive. Do you think this is a good idea? Support your answer with details
and examples.

• ANSWER: I think its a really fantastic idea to get surgery to

change your experience.  I feel this way for two reasons.
• First of all, it can make us feel a lot more self-confident.  If
SPEAKING we really like our experience we can feel a lot less shy
when talking to people.  And it will be easier to interact
QUESTION and therefore we’ll achieve more success in our personal
6: and professional lives.
• Secondly, if we don’t like the result of our surgery we can
always change it back.  I mean, plastic surgery is really
affordable these days, so if you get some surgery and it
looks bad… you can just get another procedure done.  For
instance, I’ve changed my nose about six times already,
and the expense to me has been pretty minimal.
