Photo A
I think it’s a cookery lesson.
There are three students and a teacher. The
students (two men and a woman) are wearing
blue aprons. It looks like a uniform so I think it’s
in a college. They might be in their twenties. The
teacher is wearing a white chef’s uniform and a
hat.
There are pots and pans on the stove, which is
between the students and the teacher.
The teacher is pouring some oil into a saucepan.
I think the students are feeling happy and are
enjoying the lesson because they are all leaning
forward and watching what the teacher is doing
and smiling. The teacher is smiling too, so I think
she is enjoying the lesson as well.
Photo B
I think it’s a lesson in a school.
There’s a woman standing in front of the class:
she’s about thirty. She is wearing a blue cardigan
and black skirt. She is watching one of the pupils, a
boy who looks about 14 or 15, who is also standing
in front of the class. He is talking to the rest of the

class. I think it’s a talk he has prepared, because he
is holding some notes.
We can see five other members of the class (girls
and boys) facing the teacher and the boy giving the
talk. They are sitting at their desks and listening to
the talk.
I think the boy and his teacher are feeling happy
because they are both smiling. I think the boy
might be feeling proud.

In answer 1b the student is answering a different
question from the one asked: ‘Do you like talking?’
or ‘Do you talk a lot?’ Also, it isn’t long enough.
In answer 2a the student begins by copying the
language in the question (I don’t mind talking
to people) rather than using new language, as in
answer 2b. Answer 2b also shows knowledge of
a wider range of structures and vocabulary than
answer 2a.
In answer 3b, the student’s answer is too short
and does not really answer the question. This is
what is known as a hypothetical question. The
question asks Would you enjoy a job which ... ?,
which means the person answering has to imagine

themselves doing that job; the fact that they have
never tried that kind of job in real life is irrelevant.

Hi Suzie, (optional comma)
Thanks for your last letter. You told me / said that
you went to an 18th birthday party. It sounded
great!

I went to a really good party two weeks ago. It was
a surprise party for my parents to celebrate their
25th wedding anniversary. We had a fantastic meal
and afterwards there was music and dancing. The
best bit for me was probably the food. I always love
eating! The worst bit was that we ran out of coke
and I had to drink water.
I hope we can go to a party together one day.
Bye for now.
Love
Claudia
