Record your responses to ETS past tests 3-4.
Listen to your responses and choose one that we can hear and discuss as a class.
Listen to your classmates’ responses. Did they include all of the parts? Were they easy to understand?
Your response should include these parts:
1 Summarize the problem the speakers are discussing
2 List (don’t explain) the solutions they discuss
3 State which solution you think is better
4 Lead-in (“There are two reasons for my opinion.”)
5 First reason for your opinion
6 Detail/example to support that reason
