Speaking Practice

Practise out loud and record yourself — there's no automated scoring here (that's a genuinely hard, separate problem, and no free tool does it reliably). Instead, record your answer, play it back, and work through the self-review checklist the way an examiner actually listens. Recordings stay in your browser and are never uploaded anywhere.

Part 1 — Introduction & Interview

The examiner starts with short, direct questions about yourself and familiar everyday topics. Answer naturally — two or three sentences each is normal, not a full speech.

  • Can you tell me a little about the town or city where you grew up?
  • What do you like most about the area you live in now?
  • Do you think you will live there for a long time, or do you want to move somewhere else eventually?
  • Do you prefer travelling to new places or returning to places you already know well?

Your browser doesn't support in-browser audio recording. You can still practise by speaking your answer aloud and self-reviewing from memory with the checklist below.

Part 2 — Individual Long Turn

Describe a trip you have taken that you remember well.

You should say:

  • where you went
  • who you went with (if anyone)
  • what you did there
  • and explain why this trip has stayed in your memory

Your browser doesn't support in-browser audio recording. Use a real timer instead — prepare for one minute, then speak for up to two minutes, and self-review from memory with the checklist below.

Part 3 — Two-Way Discussion

The examiner now asks broader, more abstract questions connected to the Part 2 topic — these expect you to reason and give opinions, not just describe facts.

  • How has travel within your own country changed over the last twenty years or so?
  • Do you think tourism generally brings more benefits or more problems to the places tourists visit?
  • Some people say that travelling "broadens the mind." Do you agree, and why?

Self-review checklist

Play back a recording and go through this afterwards — it's grouped the same way real Speaking assessment looks at an answer: fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
