What types of questions will I be asked in the Speaking section?

In the Speaking section, you will be asked to complete a total of six speaking tasks. In the second speaking task, you will be presented with two possible actions, situations, or opinions. Then, you will be asked to say which of the actions or situations you prefer, or which opinion you think is more justified.

Topics for this question include everyday issues of general interest to a student. You may be asked, for example, whether you think students should take courses from a wide variety of fields, or simply focus on a single subject area. You could also be presented with two opposing opinions about a familiar topic—such as whether or not television has been a benefit for humanity—and you would then be asked which of the two opinions you agree with.
