Great work, Carlos. You speak very fluidly and confidently, which is excellent. Keep in mind that the different parts of the speaking exam are for you to show off different things, so for example part 3 and 4 they want to see how you interact, so remember to ask lots of questions to your partner and have a real natural discussion.

I asked Carlos some really difficult questions today. He racked his brain and came up with all the right answers in the end. It must have been because of a piece of advice I gave him!

    Careers day Introduction The aim of this report is to examine how successful was the careers day organised by our college. It will also include its drawbacks and a variety of recommendations for future events like this one. Upsides According to a survey conducted amongst students, three quarters of those surveyed found this year’s careers day rather useful and helpful. Not only did the event include theory about how to identify suitable jobs, but it also organised practical and dynamic activities in which students performed different roles in a variety of scenarios. Additionally, they got the opportunity to practise mock interviews with actual directors from well-known companies, such as Nike, Primark, and so on. Downsides However, one of the weaknesses of the event was that attendees spent too much time learning how to be articulate in regards to writing job applications. A considerable proportion of those surveyed expressed that applying for a job is rather complex and it was a very unworkable idea to attempt to get a brief idea about how to do it in a single day. Had students missed this workshop, they would have benefited more from the rest of activities. Suggestions for the future I would strongly recommend including workshops in which staff from different professions recount their experiences, hence students would understand how real situations are at work. I, for one, think that those proffesional employees who attended next year’s event, would be able to convey a compelling message that would help students decide which path they want to choose.

    Methods to motivate children to practise physical activity The most recent statistics have proven that children are becoming less involved in sports. Were kids to practise any physical activity regularly, they would feel the benefits that doing exercise entails. In this essay, a couple of ways to motivate young people to practise regular exercise will be broached to address the topic at hand. There can be no doubt that national authorities can help financially to motivate children to do regular exercise. For instance, governing bodies could give cheques to families so they can join sports centres mroe regularly. Nonetheless, these facilities are not only for kids which is a downside as children would rather not do activities with people of different age However, no one would dispute the fact that schools and teaching staff are elements of paramount importance in kids’ lives. Children’s motivation to practise sports would be increased if schools included programmes in which a variety of sports were combined. For instance, basketball and football, tennis and baseball, etc. It would be an original way to show children how to benefit from different physical activities and it would help them learn to teamwork and interact with their classmates. To conclude, schools could succeed satisfactorily in motivating children to practise regular exercise. Conversely, government funding would not be the most effective way as it would not increase kids’ willingness and willpower to practise regular sports.

    Coachella Music Festival Have you ever attended a live show where you can witness how your favourite bands and artists perform in front of you? A great opportunity to experience so is going to Coachella. This music festival is two-weeks long and it offers a variety of activities apart from the musical performance, such as contests, meetings and so on. In particular, it is worth mentioning how incredible this year’s show was. The main artist who led the Coachella stage was Ariana Grande. She gave the audience a high quality concert where she showed how poweful and grounded she is. Not only was Ariana in the spotlight, but there were also a huge number of guests who joined Ariana in the show. Given that many of the artists had not released any piece of music in decades, Coachella’s audience were absolutely delighted to see how those artists had grown musically. Nonetheless, the show had a few weaknesses. One of them was that the venue was over-crowded, which had a negative impact on the turnout. In addition, had the screens of the stage been enlarged, attenders would have enjoyed the show more, particularly those who were located in the furthest rows. To the untrained eye, the technical mistakes that were made while switching a song to another would have been overlooked, as interludes were short-lasting. I would strongly recommend to go to Coachella to those who enjoy music festivals. This year’s feedback was outstandingly good. Without a shadow of a doubt, it is a show not to be missed.

    Methods to increase science students The most recent statistics have proven that youngsters are not sufficiently encouraged to study science. Furthermore, they tend to despise subjects related to health and maths. In this essay, a variety of ideas will be broached to address the topic at hand. There can be no doubt that our youth receive a high influence from tv shows, social media, etc. The truth of the matter is that the current media do not broadcast enough information about scientific celebrities and their discoveries. However, adverts could vary their content in a way that attracts youngsters’ attention. For instance, advertising advantages of pursuing a career in science could be a feasible idea for students to reflect about it. No one would dispute the fact that youngsters require different incentives when they do not relish a particular matter. Not only do young adults need encouragement to study science, but they also require to be shown all the upsides of it. Therefore, schools could help students develop an interest in STEM, for instance, including science programmes from which students could see the appealing side of science, such as singing, dancing, working in teams and so on. To conclude, each way could satisfactorily succeed in encouraging young people to study science. However, adverts about science might not properly convey the message they intend, hence they would have to be created meticulously to reach the young public. Nonetheless, a more workable idea may be the implementation of school programmes that mix fun and science in the same classroom.

    Eating habits in Spain The purpose of this report is to outline a variety of changes that eating habits have encountered in Spain lately. It will also include the upsides of such changes and their possible development in the foreseeable future. The most recent changes An international survey has proven that nearly three quarters of those surveyed have changed their eating habits recently. Nowadays, Spaniards no longer have three meals in the day. That being said, meals are divided in five different times, provided the amount of food is gradually decreased in each meal as the day goes by. Not only has the quantity of food been affected, but its quality has also been enhanced by the Mediterranian influence. For instance, olive oil, apple vinegar and sea salt were included in Spanish diets a few years ago. The silver lining A significant proportion of those surveyed has confirmed that those recent changes have entailed both beneficial and profitable advantages. The aforementioned division of meals is supposed to satissfy our hunger throughout the day, which helps decrease the risk of overweight in the Spanish population. Not only does it benefits our health, but it also has broaden the ways of cooking national dishes. Spanish food has become internationally known by its new ideas and originality, hence tourism rates have been on the rise since 2010. Future development In the light of the results of the survey, it seems like Spanish food will develop different modifications in regards to eating habits, such as trial of new products and eating in restaurants.

    Work. Unfortunately, the most recent statistics have proven that young adults lack both willigness and motivation to work in caffeterias and restaurants. Nowadays, parental companies and enterprises are struggling to hire new staff owing to the aforementioned issue. In this essay a couple of encouragement methods for young people will be broached to address the topic at hand. No one would dispute the fact that everybody requires a minimal training before starting a new job. According to tangible evidence, young people feel uneasy when facing new situations under the charge of different managers. That being said, an excellent way to help youngsters feel more confident would be to start working with a mentor who guides them in the restaurant or cafés. Nonetheless, employers are not allowed to provide any profit to the employees who are learning. Conversely, there can be no doubt that young people need to organise their tasks meticulously as they will be interspersing work and study at the same time. A very feasible idea for employers would be to create rosters which include flexible working schedules for youngsters. Furthermore, another workable plan would be to offer young adults the opportunity to select the amount of hours that they desire to work per week. To conclude, either option would satisfactorily succeed. However, provided the training period would entail a non-remunerative work, it might not seem appealing to young people. Even so, youngsters would feel more encouraged by their employers if their working schemes are made with consideration.

    Gym building This proposal is intended to highlight how practical building a gym could be in the campus and provide reasons to explain its possible upsides. Popularity amongst students The most recent survey has proven that students attend gym lessons after finishing their classes in college. Given that youngsters do not possess much spare time, it would be an excellent idea to build a gym in the campus. If they commence new gym classes and enjoy them, they will invite and suggest other students to join. By the time the year ended, the gym would have gained a prestigious reputation. Furthermore, the competency between the gyms located in the city would be increased owing to the influx of students using our gym services. An extra facility to enrich the campus. In regards to the sports area in the campus, there are not sufficient facilities to encourage youngsters to partake in physical activities. A feasible option might be to connect the swimming pool with the gym through a private path, so students can benefit from both services in a few steps. Furthermore, the creation of a new building in the campus may entail a higher rate of interest in those students who never entered the sports area in college. Conclusion I believe the displayed explanations to set up a gym could address successfully the matter at hand, provided they imply an overall enhancement in the sports area in our college.

    To enhance learning environment Proposal to take advantage of learning opportunities Introduction This proposal is intended to highlight how to enhance the learning environment in our college and provide ideas for using the money effectively within the budget. Implementation of technology in class In a recent study, upwards of 60 percent of the students confirmed to use computers to study. Given that handwriting entails a gruelling excersice of students’ arms, it would be beneficial to incorporate in each classroom, technological devices such as laptops and tablets. Teaching immersion courses According to a variety of validated studies, it has been proven that youngsters pay more attention in class to people who seem younger than their actual teachers. An excellent idea to increase both students’ motivation and willpower to learn, might be to create a programme which encourages older students to teach students from newer cohorts. Money could be invested in material to create a more comfortable atmosphere in the classroom such as paintings, books, and so on. Trips to historical places Not only can lessons be taught in a classroom but, they also can be performed outdoors. Our college is surrounded by many places of cultural interest, hence a weekly trip to visit monuments may appear appealing to students. These unexpensive activities could help increase students’ willingness to learn in a more relaxing environment. Conclusion I believe that the displayed suggestions could succeed in improving the learning environment provided the investment would not exceed the proposed budget. Furthermore, these aforementioned methods could result in an increase of the percentage of good marks in students.
