Sample 1
Describe a time you needed to use imagination
You should say:


what the situation was;



why you needed to use imagination;



what the difficulties were; and explain how you felt about it.

SAMPLE ANSWER:
I would like to talk about the time I had to get out of my comfort zone to join an
Innovation Challenge Contest which made me think out of the box and work flat out
to become the runner-up.
This annual contest is open to all undergraduates and post-graduates around the world.

Each year this contest draws the attention of more than 30 000 people so it was really
competitive and challenging for me. Therefore, when I was awarded the runner-up
prize, I was deliriously happy and extraordinarily excited.

The goal of the Challenge was to recognize individuals and organizations that were
working on internet-based solutions to promote education and economic
empowerment in countries throughout the world. Therefore, it really required
creativity and imagination from each team joining the contest. I had to buckle down
and brainstorm ideas for the challenge until I came up with the best one to be
accepted for 4 consequent rounds.
At the end of the day, my team and I had really gone extra miles to become the runnersup and it was really an unforgettable experience to me. After all, I can take pride in
myself for all the thing I achieved with my imagination and creativity.

Sample 2
Describe a game or sport that you enjoy playing.
You should say:


what kind of sport that is;



who you play it with;



where you play it;



and explain why you think doing this is healthy.

BAND 9.0 SAMPLE ANSWER
I’m not a great swimmer in any sense but swimming is like my religion. It is
truly refreshing and literally, washes away every disturbing thought I have
whenever I dive into cold water. No matter how tight my schedule may get, I usually
pay at least one visit to a local swimming pool to work myself up and get rejuvenated.
Sometimes, I have a partner or two, who have been my best friends since high school.
We live in the same neighborhood so it’s not too stressful when we have to set a schedule
for our swimming session. We carpool more often than not and it takes us roughly 15
minutes to get to the local recreation center where it provides the locals with a variety
of facilities for training purpose such as gym class, stadium, swimming pool, tennis court
and so on, which is extremely convenient for those who practice more than one activity.
The only thing better then swimming itself is swimming with your besties, which is one
of hundreds of things I love about my weekly ritual. Hardly do we have time to meet
each other during week days as we’re all up to our neck at work and totally stressed out.
Therefore, having such a healthy way to catch up with my friends and recharge battery
after an exhausting week never sounds better. Just like any other sports, swimming
helps maintain your health, keep you fit as well as build your endurance. However,
unlike others, it’s a very relaxing and peaceful form of exercise, you don’t even sweat for
hours – a supreme advantage. Therefore, if you’re looking for a kind of sport that brings

you comfort and relaxation, swimming should be your first choice.

Sample 3
Describe an old friend you enjoy talking with.
You should say:
 who this person is
 how you knew him/her
 what you usually talk about and explain why you want to talk to this person.
Sample Answer
I have always been lucky enough to be surrounded by a large circle of friends who are
incredibly supportive, compassionate and open-minded. And everybody knows how
precious it is to have such a gift and I, of all people, know better than taking that for
granted. That is why I always make effort to keep in touch with people I’ve become
close with and one of whom is my ex-boss, aka my mentor – Eli.
Admittedly, it’s far from an ordinary relationship for most people, but to Eli and I, it
came naturally. We first met during the training course we both attended for a
luxurious soon-to- be-open restaurant in town roughly 2 years ago. Eli was our Filipino
manager and I was about to be a hostess for the very first time. Every concept, every

rule and every etiquette when working in hospitality industry just overwhelmed me and
if it hadn’t been for Eli, a patient teacher as well as a dedicated friend, I wouldn’t have
managed to complete my training and achieved high performance at our workplace.
However, thanks to those hard times we’ve been through together, we became closer
and our conversations would last endlessly ranging from family, career, happiness to
setbacks in life. As a predecessor, Eli usually offers me valuable advice and emotional
support whenever I confine in him. No lecturing. No “I told you so”. Just pure
compassion. He always tries to bring out the best in people instead of being Mr.
Know-it-all and patronizing, which is one of million things I admire about him.
Even though we are no longer working together and hanging out more often than we
should, our strong bond has never got loose. We keep each other in the loop about
everything significant happening around us and provide mutual support if needed.
Once in a while, we would meet over coffee or dinner to catch up if our schedules allow

Sample 4
Describe a bicycle/motorbike/car trip that is interesting
You should say:


Where you would like to go



How you would like to go there



Who you would like to go with



And explain why you would like to go there by car, motorbike or bike

SAMPLE ANSWER
There is a thing that troubles me more often than not when living in [
] is the
majority of people are riding motorbikes rather than cars. As a result, most people don’t
know how to drive a car, I included, which also itches me since I have always wanted

to take a road trip across the country. A road trip by car from the south to the north of
my country would be and adventurous because hundreds of marvelous destinations
are awaiting to be explored. However, it is worth taking risks and stepping out of your
comfort zone to truly experience what life has to offer when your legs can still carry
you rather than to regret in your later life.
“If you wanna go fast, go alone. If you wanna go far, go together.” It might be fun if
you were a lone traveler and didn’t enjoy getting lagged behind your schedule. Still,
the adventure could be more colorful and unexpected, hopefully in a good way, when
you got company, especially during a long journey like the one I prefer. Hence, picking
up a close friend or two who share the same vision, the same eagerness to capture the
beauty of nature would be my choice. We would start from the south where we are
living and move north on the go, stopping at our favorite beaches a little longer than
other places because there ain’t nobody don’t have time for juicy coconuts and white
sand paradise. Traditional cuisine would also be our utmost priority whenever we
reach a new place as the best way to live like a local is to eat like a local. A car is our
best choice because it would give us room to comfortably converse with each other
and shelter from inclement weather during our journey, if any. It is not only about the
destinations but also about the time I would love to spend with my dear friends as we
would share the same space in a four-wheel vehicle
along the road; and at the end of the day, it’s the people that matters.

Sample 5

Describe a family member you are closest to
You should say:


who this person is;



describe some things you have done together;



and explain why you like this person.

SAMPLE ANSWER:
I’m grateful to have such a supportive and caring family who are always there for me
no matter what. We have 5 members in the house that’s always full of laughter: my
parents, my two sisters and me. Even though I love them all to the moon and back,
my younger sister, Jade, is the one that’s closest to me.
Jade is seven years younger than me, which might create some sense of generation
gap, yet, we still get along well, or at least most of the time. She is in high school now
and has a dream of becoming a doctor one day. In term of appearance, we have little
in common. By that I mean while I’m kind of tall, she’s relatively short; while I take
after my father, she’s my mom’s spitting image. Same thing with our characteristics.
I am people-oriented and a true free spirit, Jade, on the contrary, is quite introverted
and into stability. Hence, it came as a huge surprise when others acknowledge our
strong bond. We’re like 2 sides of the same coin. No matter how different we are, we
have never neglected or abandoned each other. In fact, we are partners in crime in
so many impulsive and silly acts that our family has lost count. Once, I tried to play
the victim with my uncle as I accidentally broke a crystal vase that my aunt adored,

Jade backed me up as we put the blame on our poor cousin. What a shameful act!
But that was years ago and we learnt our lesson the hard way. Another time when my
sister’s teacher asked to meet our parents because Jade had ditched class. In her
defense, that subject was boring and I was the one who talked to her teacher. In the end,
Jade had to serve more time at the library and we kept this from our parents and so were
many other things. We got each other’s back and we always will because that’s what
sisters do and simply because I love her.

Sample 6

You should say:



what the language is



where it is spoken



what you think would be difficult



what would be easy about learning the language



and explain why you would like to learn it.

BAND 9.0 SAMPLE ANSWER
Learning a second language not only adds up your skills but also offers enormous
benefits for your brain and personal growth. Additionally, being bilingual or
multilingual expands your knowledge across the country’s border and provides you
easy access to the understanding of other cultures. Therefore, beside English, Spanish
sits high in my must- learn list due to its wide application and beautiful culture.
Needless to say, Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in the world and one of
the six official languages used in United Nations conferences and statements. Spanish
is spoken in most countries in South and Central America and in the US, over 50 million
people are using Spanish either as their mother tongue or second language. As a result,

knowing Spanish would absolutely widen your horizon, develop your sense of
appreciation for Hispanic culture as well as transform your travel experience as who
knows when you would bump into some Spanish friends on your adventure. Many have
said that Spanish is one of the easiest languages to learn thanks to its phonetic
pronunciation and its similarity with English, in terms of vocabulary. However, it’s
easier said than done. No matter how simple and intriguing that may sound, without
full commitment and self-discipline, being able to speak Spanish would be a farfetched idea. Therefore, in order to meet my goal and not to get demotivated along the
way, I would have to find a learning partner and we would fight this tough war together.





how often you watch it



BAND 8.0 SAMPLE ANSWERS
Over the course of my life, I have been watching a lot of television programs, ranging
from scientific to reality shows. However, the TV program that I am addicted to is the
Apprentice on NBC channel. The show airs for about 30 minutes, twice a week. The
show is hosted by Donal Trump, one of the richest and most powerful billionaires in
the world.
There are often 10 people in each episode and all the participants are young, dynamic,
enthusiastic and talented people from all walks of life. Despite of different
backgrounds, they all share the same dream of becoming successful people, which is
the very reason why they join this program.
The Apprentice is regarded among one of the most popular educational TV programs.
Watching this program, I can gain a deeper insight into the business world and about
obstacles that people have to encounter and overcome in order to succeed. This
program is useful for not only business people but also young people like me. It inspires
us and motivates us to advance in our career paths.

Sample 8
Describe A Movie You Recently Watched


What was the movie?



When and where did you watch it?



Did you like it? Why?

BAND 9.0 SAMPLE ANSWER
Lately, I haven’t had much time to go out for a movie since I’ve been up to my eyeballs
in reports and presentations. Hence, to relax and boost my mood, I rented some good
old movies and made myself some healthy snacks for late night treat. “Silver Linings
Playbook” is one of my all-time favorites and I’ve lost count how many times I
replayed it.
The last time I watched it was a week ago on Saturday night. Oscar nominated movies
were usually not my taste due to their complexity and lack of entertainment but Silver
Linings Playbook was an exception. I’ve always preferred something a little
sentimental, light- hearted, yet meaningful and this movie had it all. Silver Linings
Playbook was an adaptation from the novel written by Matthew Quick, starring two
incredibly talented actors Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. This romantic
comedy movie was about two wounded souls who once again found beauty in the most
unexpected place. Pat (Bradley), a former teacher, was just released from a mental
institution and trying to reconcile with his cheated wife despite his family’s protest.
He met Tiffany (Jennifer), a woman with problems of her own, and things got
complicated. Two people bearing hidden scars with no hope in the future finally had
lights in their lives again. The movie was not heavy at all but extremely entertaining
with some laugh-out-loud moments. No matter how many times I’ve watched it, I still
got emotional every time I replayed it. The underlying message was also a shout-out
to anyone who believes they have hit rock bottom: “When one door closes, another

door opens”. Therefore, keep moving forward and don’t lose hope. If anyone runs
out of movies to watch, I highly recommend “Silver Linings Playbook” as a change of
appetite.
