Aptis Speaking Practice Test One Sample B1 Answers.

I'm going to ask you three short questions about yourself and your interests. You will have 30 seconds to reply to each question.

Begin speaking when you hear this sound (BEEP) Please tell me about your hobbies.

I've always loved reading especially fantasy books like the Lord of the Rings.

I've read all the Harry Potter books too.

I also play tennis in a local club every Wednesday and Saturday. I've won several tournaments and I'm playing in a match this weekend I love all sports and I think I'll try basketball next year.

Please tell me about your last holiday.

Ooooh it was great. We went to the coast for two weeks and stayed at the best hotel I've ever been to we were very lucky because the weather was fantastic.

I spent the day with my friends on the beach swimming and playing beach volleyball. In the evenings we went out to eat at local restaurants and then went for a walk along the coast.

Please tell me about your favorite actor. I think it's Leonardo DiCaprio, he's a brilliant actor and he's very good-looking too. He started acting when he was very young, I think he was about 10 years old. He's acted in many different parts in very different films and he's always good.

I've seen Titanic four times and I cry every time but I didn't understand Inception.

in this part, I'm going to ask you to describe what is happening in a picture. Then I will ask you two questions about it you will have 45 seconds for each response.

Begin speaking when you hear this sound (BEEP) Make sure you answer as fully as possible.

Describe this picture this photo. It shows a classroom and I think the children are learning Spanish because there's a calendar on the wall with the days in English and Spanish.

It's probably a primary school because the children are about four or five years old they're all sitting on the floor and listening to the teacher there are lots of toys and books on shelves in the classroom and all the colors are very bright.

What is a typical school day for most students in your country?

Most students start school at about nine o'clock. They do two or three classes then it's time for a break when they can have a snack or a second breakfast. Then they do some more classes and usually finish school at about 2 30. Some students have their lunch at school and others go home to eat. There are often sports or dance or other fun activities in the afternoons too.

How have schools changed since you were a child?

In my opinion, teachers were stricter when I was at school. We never sat on the floor we sat at desks and the classroom was more formal. Students have less homework now and school subjects have changed too. Now children learn about technology and often have tablets or computers there weren't many computers at my school we nearly always used books.

in this part, I'm going to ask you to compare two pictures and I will then ask you two questions about them. You will have 45 seconds for each response, begin speaking when you hear this sound (BEEP) Tell me what you see in these two pictures.

Well in the first photo you can see a market where you can buy lots of things, fruit and vegetables and there are melons, pears, tomatoes also clothes, shoes hats. There's a man selling fruit and a mother with her child. I think it's in Europe because the price is in euros. The second photo shows a shopping center you can see a lot of clothes shops and there are people shopping.

Why do people choose to shop in each of these places?

I think people choose markets for food because the fruit and vegetables are fresh and often cheaper too but supermarkets are easier and quicker. People go to shopping centers because they can buy everything there and parking is easy. There's a better variety of shops and more clothes to buy and when the weather's bad it's better to be indoors.

Which place do you prefer to shop? Why?

Well, I prefer shopping malls because they're good places to go with my friends. It's not only the shops you can also have an ice cream, a coffee or an ice cream and hang out together.

It's easy too because all the shops are there and I think it's safer than shopping in markets, but I don't really like doing my shopping in very big supermarkets because there are always too many people waiting to pay.

In this part I'm going to show you a picture and ask you three questions. You will have one minute to think about your answers before you start speaking. You will have two minutes to answer all three questions. Begin speaking when you hear this sound (BEEP) Look at the photograph tell me about the time when you had to wear something different or special.

How did you feel about it? Do you think fashion has too much importance in our lives?

You now have one minute to think about your answers you can take notes if you want.

You now have two minutes to talk. I had to wear a special dress when I went to my friend's wedding because I was one of the bridesmaids. The dress was long and green and very beautiful, it was expensive too and I had to pay for it! I felt strange because I usually wear jeans and t-shirts so I didn't feel very comfortable but the wedding photos were good.

Sometimes I think fashion is too important in our lives, everyone wants to dress like famous people and they spend a lot of money on clothes. People read fashion magazines and want to copy the models but most of the clothes they advertise are too expensive for normal people.

I think that can be a big problem for young people because they don't have much money.

I like fashion but I wear clothes because I like them and because they're comfortable not because they're fashionable. In my opinion that's more important.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
