1. Describe the prediction
2. Describe the current trend and say this trend will probably continue
3. Describe how you feel about this prediction (Optional)

Describe the prediction:
I think cities in the future will be more densely populated. At the same time, people will still require transportation, so I think the transportation in future cities will be more modern, fast, and convenient.

Describe the current trend and say this trend will probably continue:
In fact, I think there is a growing trend across the world of futuristic cities emerging where transportation is becoming more convenient to meet the growing demands of population. This trend will probably continue going forward.

Describe how you feel about this prediction:
I personally like this trend as more futuristic cities will emerge. A good example of a futuristic city is I think I will say it is Tokyo, where people have access to clean transportation, and live in compact spaces, like high-rises.

1. State that there have been changes over the past decades
2. Describe the first comparison
3. Describe the second comparison
4. Describe how you feel about this change (Optional)

State that there have been changes over the past decade:
In the past few decades, there have definitely been some noticeable changes in education through generations.

Describe the first comparison:
I mean ..most notably, students today can no longer be punished physically by teachers, while in the past, that was pretty common.

Describe the second comparison:
Another way that education has changed is teacher student interaction. Today, it’s more normal to see students answering questions and having discussions, while in the past, the teacher simply lectured, and the students listened silently.

Describe how you feel about this change:
Overall, I think education is making progress in my country.

1. State that there are a few differences between two things
2. Describe the first comparison
3. Describe the second comparison
4. Give a short conclusion (Optional)

State that there are a few differences between two things:
For me, there are quite a few differences between life in the city and life in the country. Life in the city and in the country is vastly different.

Describe the first comparison:
First of all, the way people interact with each other is different. For example, in a small town, people usually wave to say hello, and notice strangers in town. But in a big city, most people ignore each other and try to give each other space in public.

Describe the second comparison:
Another big difference between the two is the amount of noise, which is higher in cities, and lower in small towns.

Give a short conclusion:
Overall, life in both places varies.

1. Briefly talk about the problem
2. Talk about the first solution
3. Talk about the second solution
4. Describe how you feel about the problem and the solutions (Optional)

Briefly talk about the problem:
I think violence on TV is the most problematic for children, but there isn’t really a simple way to make it stop, because there is a demand for action, horror, and excitement on TV.

Talk about the first solution:
The way I see it, there are two possible ways to deal with violent TV shows. The first is to make policies that actually ban that kind of programming altogether, although that would likely not be popular.

Talk about the second solution:
The second way could be to educate people on why violent TV shows are problematic, and see if they will stop watching the shows to lower the demand for them.

Describe how you feel about the problem and the solutions:
I mean either way, I think this problem probably isn’t going to disappear with just one simple solution.

1. Briefly talk about the phenomenon
2. Point out the cause or effect
3. Provide an example of the cause or effect
4. Describe how you feel about the phenomenon (Optional)

Briefly talk about the phenomenon:
Water pollution definitely has more disastrous effects on our health

Point out the cause or effect:
From what I understand, water pollution is caused mostly by human activity, so it seems like the likely sources of water pollution would be factories, runoff from farms, and sewage from cities.

Provide an example of the cause or effect:
For instance, I’ve seen a few studies recently that declared the Australian Great Barrier Reef to be dead due to man-made pollutants and garbage in the water.

Describe how you feel about the phenomenon:
I think it’s quite sad, as that probably could have been prevented if people paid more attention to the effects big industry has on the environment.

1. Answer the question
2. Give examples of how most people do things
3. Give examples of how you do things

Answer the question:
As far as I know, watching TV is probably one of the most popular pastimes for people in my country.

Give examples of how most people do things:
For example, in the evening, almost every home I pass has the TV in the living room switched on, and families will be sitting around together watching shows. I think most people like watching the news, or watching dramas.

Give examples of how you do things:
As for me, I also watch quite a bit of TV when I’m at home. For instance, I watch sitcoms on Friday nights after work. I guess other people in my country probably do the same thing as I do.
