Speaking Skill 1: PLAN THE FREE-CHOICE RESPONSE
Independent free-choice questions generally give clear clues about how your
answer should be constructed. It is important to follow the clues that are given
the topic when you are planning your answer. You will probably not be given too
much credit for a response that does not cover the question in the way that is
intended.
Example
Question : where would you like to be professionally in ten years? Use detail to
support your response
Plan for response the question
INTRODUCTION : I would like to my own business
SUPPORTING IDEA 1: FIRST STEP (will get master’s in business/
entrepreneurship)
SUPPORTING IDEA 2:SECOND STEP (will work in company while planning my
business)
SUPPORTING IDEA 3: THIRD STEP (will start my own business when I am ready)
CONCLUSION : I can succeed by following this process.
Speaking Skill 2: MAKE THE FREE-CHOISE RESPONSE
As you make your response, you should think about the following four things:
· You should start with an introduction
· You should support the introduction
· You should use transitions to show how the ideas are related
· You should end with a conclusion
Example
Making response from the plan speaking skill 1
In ten years I would like to own an import business of my own. Next
years, I will be starting a master’s program in business with a specialization in
entrepreneurship. I will be getting this degree because I hope to start my own
business and make it successful some day. After I finish my master’s degree
three years from now. I will most likely take a position in another company for
a few years to make some money and to spend some time planning my own
business. Within ten years I hope to own my own company and be on the way
to making it a success. If I follow this process, I know I can succeed.

2. Writing skill 1: NOTE THE MAIN POINTS AS YOU READ
It is important for you to be able to read an academic passage of around 300
words in a short period of the time
Example
It is a common knowledge that forecasting is an attempt by meteorologist to
determine what the weather will be like in the future. Hindcasting is the opposite
of forecasting, an attempt to determine what the weather was like in the past.
Meteorologists wish that records of the weather had been kept in full for at least
a few millennia, but it has been only in the last century that detailed records of
the weather have been kept. Thus, meteorologists need hindcast the weather,
and they do so by using all sorts of information from other fields as diverse as
archeology, botany, etc. these pieces of information from other fields that are
used as a basis for drawing conclusions about what the weather must have been
like at same point in the past are called proxies.
TOPIC OF READING PASSAGE: hindcasting (trying to determine what the
weather was like in the past)
Main points about the topic:
· Detailed weather records kept for less than a century
· Proxies (information from various other fields) used to hindcast weather
Writing skill 2: NOTE THE MAIN POINTS AS YOU LISTEN
In this part of the integrated task, it is important for you to be able to listen to an
academic passage of 1-2 minutes and take notes on the main points of the
listening passage as you listen.
Example
(professor) Now let me talk about how hindcasting was used in one particular
situation. This situation has to do with the weather in seventeenth-century
Holland. It appears, from proxies in paintings from the time numerous artists,
that the weather in Holland in the seventeenth century was much colder that it is
today. Seventeenth-century paintings show really cold winter landscape with
huge snow drifts and ice skaters skating on frozen canals. Since its unusual today
for snow to drift as high as it is in the paintings and for the canals to freeze over
so that skaters can skate across them as they are in the paintings, these paintings
appear to serve as proxies that demonstrate that the weather when the paintings
were created in the seventeenth century was much colder than it is today.
TOPIC OF LISTENING PASSAGE: paintings that are proxies showing weather in
17th-century Holland colder than today
Main points about the topic:
· Huge snow drifts higher than todays drifts
· Skaters on canals that are not frozen today
