Sample Answer #1

Describe a goal you have accomplished.

Aubrey describes her goal to learn to play volleyball.

She wasn’t naturally athletic so she had to train.

Feedback for Aubrey’s answer

Transitions such as “finally” and “whereas” would boost her Cohesion/Coherence score.

She went past two minutes and the Examiner would have to interrupt her.

This improves your fluency score, as it shows you have a lot to say on the topic!

You want to tell a story without worrying about concluding it.

Because she ran out of things to say, she used the conditional to extend her answer.

We talked about this excellent strategy in Episode 885.
