C2 Proficiency · Speaking Interview · Cambridge Ready original exercise

Answer the examiner's questions about yourself, giving thoughtful, developed answers rather than short replies. This part lasts about two minutes.

Hello. I'm Alice, and I'll be your examiner today. To start with, I'd like to ask each of you a few questions about yourselves and your views.

What does the word 'home' mean to you?

Can you describe your favourite room or corner of the place where you live?

Have you moved house many times? How has that affected you?

How important is it to you to live close to your family? (Why?)

Would you rather live in an old building with character or a modern one? (Why?)

Do you spend a lot of your free time at home, or are you usually out?

If you could design your ideal home, what would it be like?

What would you miss most if you had to leave the place where you live now?

Do you enjoy having guests to stay? (Why? / Why not?)

Where are you from?

What do you do, or what are you studying?

Answer this Speaking task out loud and an AI examiner marks it on the official Cambridge Speaking criteria, with what you did well and what to fix next.
