Okay, for the first part. I'll ask you a couple of questions to get to know you better and some questions on a general topic. Where do you live? I live in the capital city of Odisha Bhubaneshwar in a two-bedroom apartment near Mahana banks with my family. What do you like about your house? I like that it is close to my school and many amnicions. It saves me a lot of time so I can focus on my studies and hang out with my friends on the weekends. Let's talk about dancing. Do you like dancing? Yes I love to dance.

I have been dancing since I was a child. I think it's a perfect way for me to socialize and exercise with my friends. Just yesterday I was dancing at school. How often do you do it? I dance I dance almost every day, whether for fun at a party or at the club where we meet every day. I dance at least an hour or so every day. Who do you usually dance with? I usually dance with my dance group, there are 18 of us and we are pretty close I have been dancing with these girls since I was six we danced in a club next to my house a 10 minute walk away where do you go dancing in your neighborhood?

I also dance at my school after school, which is just five minutes in the opposite direction from the club, have you ever danced in front of an audience? Yes I do. I have performed at several dance recitals over the years that have ranged from over a dozen to hundreds of people last month. We performed at a friend's wedding and put on a small show for about 200 attendees. If you could learn any type of dance, what would it be? It's a great question, if I had the chance. I think I would love to learn Latin dance, specifically salsa.

I've been intrigued by this rhythmic dance for a while now and it would be great to add it to my repertoire. It's the end of the first part. Now we will continue with the second part for those high

band

scores that you need to introduce complex grammar. As soon as possible, ideally from the first questions of the first part. In this case, when the examiner asks if you like to dance, the candidate immediately responds with a present perfect progressive saying I have been dancing since I was a little child. It is this type of grammatical range. and precision that will allow you to obtain high scores.

You can practice different types of complex grammar in your course on our website. Be sure to review the additional writing and grammar section of your materials. Even more importantly, be sure to reflect complex grammar when the question is: a present perfect or a conditional such as when the examiner asks if you have ever performed in front of an audience, this candidate cleverly uses the present perfect immediately by simply saying yes, I have acted. in front of smaller and larger audiences and then includes quantification meaning numbers to a few people like three or four and up to a couple of hundred people at a wedding and then when asked in a conditional if you could learn some type of dance, what would it be, she responds with a conditional, given the opportunity, ideally I would love to learn salsa. you are always paying attention to the grammar used by the examiner and then reflecting on why, because the examiner is deliberately checking to see if you can pick up that type of grammar and then use it in your answer.

Native English speakers will do this naturally when a Canadian, British or American hear a question in the present perfect and will naturally say yes, I have or no, no. Make sure you practice this before your exam.

Please have a minute to read this, please do not touch the questionnaire. You can take notes in that minute if you want and then you will have a minute or two to talk. I'll tell you when to start, when to stop, just like that, yeah. talk about an important building in your community your one minute preparation time starts now your one minute preparation time has ended please start talking very important building in Odisha State Museum is located in the center of the city and is a large modern building in three stories with beautiful exhibits showing much of the local history.

I think the museum is visited by both visitors and locals because most Indians know the rich history of Odisha. I have visited the museum several times not only with my family but also with class as part of an educational trip there are many amazing artefacts dating back to the Kalinga dynasty including several carvings and paintings. There is also modern art of local customs, dances and paintings. I think the building is very important to the local community because it is a way to share the knowledge of our ancestry with the world this way we can preserve the rich history of the place and save it for our future generations.

It also creates a sense of pride within the local community and helps visitors respect the local people, if we did not have this State Museum, little by little the local people will lose their identity and begin to forget our rich history. In this way, they will be able to enrich their experience while helping to maintain this important establishment for generations to come. This is the end of the second part. You will remove the questions, please put the note sheet aside, turn it over and also the pencil.

What are some buildings that are important to people living in a city apart from buildings like the Odisha State Museum or art galleries or concert halls? I believe that schools and government offices are important as these places help in education and maintenance of society. The third part follows the theme of In this case, the second part talks about important buildings. Now, these questions can be a little scary because they are very detailed and use less common vocabulary to evaluate higher band scores.
