Speaking Task 1 Questions in recent real tests!
-------------------------
Speaking Task 1 Tips:
In speaking task 1, you don't have to give the examiner long answer. Giving too long answers in this task won't help much to your score. Task 1 is just for warming up and making an impression with your examiner. When you hear the question, you have to give direct answer in one sentence only. And then explain your answer more clearly in just one more sentence. How? Just ask yourself "Why" then answer with "Because". You need to end your answer with confidence.
Please remember this formula for speaking task 1:
1 Long Sentence or 2 Short Sentences.

A: I like blue. Because it is my lucky color.

A: I travel by bus quite often because I am a student and my parents don't allow me to drive car.
