Master the Essentials for CELPIP Speaking Tasks 3 and 4


Listen Later

In case you missed the last episode, I'm doing a quick recap of how to master CELPIP Speaking Task 3 where you need to describe an image.

In this part of the episode, I'll be working off of a real image which I'm linking to here. I'll walk you through the most important steps to take to answer Task 3 like a pro!

During the first half of the episode We'll cover:

CELPIP Speaking Task 3: Describing An Image

Brainstorming Will Help You Answer Two Important Questions: What are you looking at? Where should You begin?

We'll also cover:

  1. Setting the scene: Letting your audience (the test rater)know YOU know what you're looking at!
  2. Focus: You don't have to talk about everything!
  3. Unleash the Power of Details - you'll never run out of things to say again if you follow this step! (You'll also get a better score on the CELPIP.)

The Second Half: A Masterclass on CELPIP Speaking Task 4: Making Predictions.

I've got a great surprise for you! You'll be working with the same image as Speaking Task 3 - so that takes a lot of work off your shoulders.

You'll still need to cover these points:

Brainstorming: What are you looking at? Where should You begin?

We'll also cover:

  1. Setting the scene: Letting your audience (the test rater)know YOU know what you're looking at!
  2. Focus: You don't have to talk about everything!
  3. Unleash the Power of Details - you'll never run out of things to say again if you follow this step! (You'll also get a better score on the CELPIP.)

But now we're making predictions about what will happen next - logically - from what you see in the image.

You'll need to use words like: may, might, likely, probably, will, going to.
