Cae speaking Part 1 Question Samples

Would you prefer to live in a big city or a small town?
I live in a populated urban area and I really like it there. There is always something to do, people seem to be more open. I grew up here and I can’t imagine living in a more quiet, rustic place.
Do you prefer to spend your time indoors or outside?
I have to spend a lot of time studying at school, so whenever I get a chance I try to get some fresh air. I spend most of my weekends in parks or in the woods near my house, just walking and contemplating things.
How often do you see your relatives?
Most of my aunts and uncles live far from here, so I haven’t been seeing much of them recently. In the past though we used to have extended family reunions two or three times a year.
Is there any advice you could give to people learning English?
Oh, I don’t really know! I believe that persistence is key – you have to dedicate some time to your studying every day, even if you are not in the mood. It also helps to learn as a group so you could support each other when you are about to give up.

What is your favourite place in town where you live?
I really like the Central Square, it’s in the very heart of our town. There’s plenty of vegetation there, so it is pleasantly fresh even on hotter days there!
Would you say that your interest have changed over the past few years?
To some extent they have, yes. I’ve taken up cycling and I’ve been doing more sports in general. But generally it has been pretty much the same for me. Can’t say I’m unhappy about it – I’m rather happy where I am in life at the moment.
How do you hope to use English in the future?
I hope to do more travelling in the future, mostly English-speaking countries. Without a doubt, it will help me to get around there, to meet and befriend new people. Hopefully, it will allow me to feel more involved with the cultural aspect of these countries too. You know, going to a play at a theatre or watching a movie.
