Speaking Interview Questions
These are the interview-style follow-up prompts at the end of the speaking paper.
Q8 Interview Q1 Habit / Background Speaking Interview
Thanks for being willing to help us out. I'd like to ask you some questions about your experiences with nature and the outdoors. First, if you had the chance to spend more time outdoors, what would you want to do?

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.
If I had the chance to spend more time outdoors, I would probably choose hiking on quiet nature trails and taking photographs. Hiking would give me exercise without feeling like formal training, and photography would make me slow down and notice details such as light, plants, and small changes in the landscape. What appeals to me is the combination of physical movement and deliberate attention; being outdoors would become a way to restore energy rather than simply fill free time.
C1-C2 key phrases to imitate
  • physical movement and deliberate attention
  • restore energy
  • in practical terms
  • as a regular part of my routine

Q9 Interview Q2 Preference Speaking Interview
Great, thanks. And now can you tell me how do you usually feel while you're outdoors compared to when you're indoors?
🎧 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.
When I am outdoors, I usually feel calmer and more awake than I do indoors. Indoors I often feel focused but a little boxed in, especially if I have been looking at screens for a long time. Outside, even a short walk can clear my head and make my mood feel lighter. The difference is not only physical; outdoor spaces give me psychological spaciousness, so my attention feels less compressed and more flexible.
C1-C2 key phrases to imitate
  • psychological spaciousness
  • less compressed and more flexible

Q10 Interview Q3 Opinion Speaking Interview
Got it. And in your view, do you think avoiding spending time outdoors in nature makes a difference in people's health and well-being? 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 avoiding nature can affect people’s health and well-being. If people stay indoors all the time, they may move less, get less sunlight, and feel more mentally tired. Nature is not a cure for every problem, but regular outdoor time can support better sleep, mood, and stress control. The main issue is that people lose a low-cost source of recovery; natural settings provide sensory variety and gentle movement that many indoor routines do not provide.
C1-C2 key phrases to imitate
  • a low-cost source of recovery
  • sensory variety and gentle movement
  • what makes this choice compelling
  • the main obstacle would be
  • less sunlight
  • mentally tired
  • stress control

Q11 Interview Q4 Opinion Speaking Interview
OK, last question. Do you think outdoor spaces should be free for everyone to use or is it acceptable to charge fees? Why?
🎧 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 think basic outdoor spaces should be free for everyone, especially public parks and simple walking areas. Access to nature supports health and community life, so it should not depend entirely on income. However, modest fees can be acceptable for special sites if the money is used transparently for maintenance, safety, and environmental protection. On balance, I would separate essential access from enhanced facilities: nature itself should remain broadly accessible, while carefully limited fees can help preserve fragile spaces.
C1-C2 key phrases to imitate
  • essential access from enhanced facilities
  • broadly accessible
  • I would take a qualified position
  • on balance
  • modest fees
