Q8 Interview Q1 Opinion Speaking Interview
Thank you for agreeing to take part in the study. I'd like to ask you some questions about your experiences with music. First, how important is music in your life? Why?

C1-C2 Sample Answer
CEFR C1-C2 target
  • State the habit or experience directly, then add a reflective reason.
  • Use pauses after contrast markers such as although, not simply, and rather than.
Music is important in my life because it gives shape to different moments. I listen to calm music when I study, energetic music when I exercise, and familiar songs when I feel tired. It is not just entertainment; it helps me manage my mood. Its importance is partly emotional: music helps me name feelings indirectly when ordinary language feels too blunt.

Q9 Interview Q2 Tradeoff Speaking Interview
Great, that's interesting. Now, if you had to choose, would you rather create music yourself or listen to music created by others? Why?
🎧 Question Audio
C1-C2 Sample Answer
CEFR C1-C2 target
  • Compare options naturally instead of listing them mechanically.
  • Stress the phrase that shows preference or priority.
I would rather listen to music created by others. I admire people who can create music, but listening lets me experience many styles and emotions without needing technical skill. It also gives me a connection to artists whose lives are very different from mine. Listening appeals to me because it gives access to other people's emotional worlds without requiring me to perform.

Q10 Interview Q3 Opinion Speaking Interview
OK, noted. Do you think music should be a required part of children's education? Why or why not?
🎧 Question Audio
C1-C2 Sample Answer
CEFR C1-C2 target
  • Build a short narrative or hypothetical with a clear cause-and-effect line.
  • Segment the response into choice, reason, and consequence.
Yes, I think music should be part of children's education, but it does not need to be too formal. Music can teach rhythm, patience, listening, and creativity. Even if students do not become musicians, they can learn to appreciate art and express feelings in a healthy way. Music education matters because it trains attention, discipline, and emotional expression at the same time.

Q11 Interview Q4 Opinion Speaking Interview
Fair enough. Final question. Some people believe that live music has a stronger impact than recorded music. Do you agree or disagree with that? Why or why not?
🎧 Question Audio
C1-C2 Sample Answer
CEFR C1-C2 target
  • Give a nuanced position with concession before your main argument.
  • Use intonation to signal contrast, qualification, and final judgment.
I agree that live music often has a stronger impact than recorded music. At a live show, the audience, the space, and the performer's energy all become part of the experience. Recorded music is convenient, but live music can feel more intense and unforgettable. Live music feels stronger because it has immediacy and shared presence, which a recording cannot fully reproduce.
C1-C2 key phrases to imitate
  • immediacy and shared presence
  • I would take a qualified position
  • on balance
  • stronger impact
  • the performer's energy
