Speaking task 1: Individual mini presentation
Recommended structures:
Fillers/ responses + Your statement+ Supporting details+ Wrap up
Ex:
From your perspective, what makes a person happy in life?

è Suggested answer: Well, we know that different people may not share the same ideas about what
happiness actually is, but from where I stand, a happy person is probably the one who is professionally,
mentally and financially successul. For sure, when one has a good job with nice bosses and colleagues, he
is definitely eager to get out of bed and go to work. Also, once he can take control of his mood, it is much
simpler for him to overcome challenges life throws at him, stay motivated in whatever he does and get
more done, which may actually open up more chances for him to get promoted and become professionally
successful. So, I do believe that there are sill other criteria of happiness, but for me, being professionally,
mentally and financially successul must be among the top ones.
