One complete practice for this Speaking part, with two worked examples and a model for review.

Optional learning timer. It can be paused and does not submit automatically.
Ready.
Two worked examples
Example 1 · Do you enjoy learning practical skills?
Model answer: Yes. I like learning things I can use immediately. Last month I learned to repair a bicycle chain, which has made me more independent.
Why: The answer is direct and adds a reason and example.
Example 2 · Do you prefer studying alone or with someone else?
Model answer: For a new topic, I prefer studying with someone who can explain difficult ideas. Once I understand the basics, I work alone so I can check what I remember.
Why: The answer gives a preference and qualifies it rather than just saying yes or no.
Your independent practice
Answer these questions aloud. Aim for natural answers with reasons or examples.
What do you enjoy learning in your free time?
Has technology changed how you learn?
What skill would you like to learn next?
Did you enjoy practical activities at school?
When do you find it easiest to concentrate?
How do you decide what to learn?
Model response and explanation
I enjoy learning simple recipes because I can share the results with my family. I try a new dish at the weekend.
Technology helps me pause a video and repeat a step, but I still need to practise.
I would like to learn basic sewing so I can repair clothes.
At school, I enjoyed experiments because I could see an idea working.
I concentrate best early in the morning when the house is quiet.
I choose a skill when it solves a practical problem or interests me enough to practise.
Why this works: These responses answer the prompts, develop relevant ideas and demonstrate a possible structure. Different ideas are acceptable. Speak naturally; a written model cannot demonstrate pronunciation or fluency.
Self-review score
Compare your work with the model and tick only points you achieved. This is a self-review checklist, not automatic marking or an IELTS band score.
