- Sample task 1 prompt:
- “What was your favorite toy when you were a child? Describe the toy and explain why you liked it.”
- Your response can be organized into several different parts:
- 1 Topic statement: a direct answer to the question (“My favorite toy was ____.”)
- 2 Description (if the prompt asks): Briefly explain the answer (“It was a small doll that you could…”)
- 3 Lead-in (optional): (“There are two reasons why I liked ____ so much.”)
- 4 Reason 1
- 5 Detail/example
- 6 Reason 2
- 7 Detail/example
- (8 Conclusion, if you have time)

- The other independent speaking task is a choice question. The main difference is that now the reasons for your choice could be disadvantages of the other choice.
- ---
- In your 15 seconds of preparation time, try to write a mini-outline:
- Answer
- - reason 1
- - reason 2
- ---
- Take 30 seconds each to outline answers to all the questions on the handout (15 seconds to read the prompt, 15 seconds to prepare)
- Then stand up and give your answers to your classmates. You can put check marks for every part of the response your partner includes.
