Say what you enjoy doing after school.
One possible EWS response
A boy is running. A woman is reading. The carrot is different because it is a vegetable. I enjoy drawing after school.
Check and improve: Use am/is/are + an -ing verb for actions happening now. Use because for your reason.

Ask a friend where they went last Saturday.
Tell a four-sentence story: a picnic, rain, shelter, a happy ending.
Say what you would like to do next weekend.
One possible EWS response
Where did you go last Saturday? We went on a picnic. It began to rain. We waited under a shelter. Later, we played in the sunshine. Next weekend, I would like to visit my cousins.
Check and improve: Use did + the base verb in your past question. Keep the story events in a clear order.

Choose between a park and a cinema for a day out. Explain why.

One possible EWS response

Check and improve: Give a reason, then invite your partner to speak. There is more than one good answer.

Imagine a photograph of students preparing a school garden. Describe people, actions and the place.
Discuss two ways to welcome a new student: a tour or a games afternoon.
Agree on one choice and explain the benefit.
One possible EWS response
The students seem to be working together in a school garden. One is planting while another is carrying water. A tour would help a new student find the classrooms. A games afternoon might help them make friends. Shall we choose the tour first, then plan a game for the break?
Check and improve: Add details to your description. Compare both choices and respond to your partner before deciding.

Compare studying alone at home with studying in a group at a library.
Explain why different learners might prefer each situation.
Discuss which is more useful before an exam and reach a decision.
One possible EWS response
Both situations can help learners prepare, but they offer different benefits. Studying alone may make it easier to concentrate, whereas a group can explain difficult points. For revision, I would combine both: independent study first, followed by a short group discussion. Would that work for you?
Check and improve: Make comparisons instead of giving two unrelated descriptions. Support your view and build on your partner's ideas.

Evaluate mentoring and independent online study as ways to develop a new skill.
Explain which learners might benefit most from each approach.
Negotiate the best combination for someone with limited time.
One possible EWS response
Mentoring can provide precise feedback, although arranging regular meetings may be difficult. Independent online study offers flexibility, but learners need to judge the quality of the material. For someone with limited time, a structured online course supported by occasional mentoring could balance convenience with expert guidance.
Check and improve: Evaluate strengths and limitations. Qualify broad claims and connect your conclusion to the learner's needs.

These are new EWS tasks. Use your own ideas; they are separate from the video and its official examiner comments.
Discuss whether convenience always improves quality of life.
Use an example and consider a counterargument.
Respond to a partner who argues that speed matters more than personal contact.
One possible EWS response
Convenience can free people to spend time on what matters to them, yet it may also weaken useful routines or personal connections. Online services illustrate both possibilities: they improve access for some people while leaving others isolated. I would therefore judge convenience by the choices it creates, rather than by speed alone. Your point about speed is persuasive in an emergency; in ongoing care, however, personal contact may be equally important.
Check and improve: Address the question directly, weigh a counterargument and respond precisely to your partner. Complex language should clarify your meaning.
