Day 28 — Speaking Final Drill (Interview Set 4)

Phase III · Mock & Mastery · Speaking · Day 28 of 30 · ⏱ ~1.5 hours

📍 You are here: Day 27 · R + L review → Day 28 · Speaking final → Day 29 · Final Full Mock

Your last dedicated Speaking day 🎙 — this is where the templates disappear and you simply think out loud through the structure. Deliver your most natural set yet.

🎯 Today's goal: Four natural, well-anchored answers — with a real counter on Q3 and an acknowledged limit on Q4.

You're done when: you've submitted Interview Set 4 and compared it to Set 1.

⏰ Step 1 — Warm-Up: Land the Plane

Sharpen your closings — clear, varied, never trailing off.

🎧 Step 2 — Final prosody tune-up

One last dictation + shadow to lock in rhythm: Dictation 15 — Campus Life. Stress content words, pause at punctuation, let your pitch move on opinion words.

🟢 Band 4→5 Keep every answer structured and anchored.
🔵 Band 5→6 Improvise inside the structure — the templates are logic-prompts now, not scripts.

Step 3

⭐ Today's Individual Task — Speaking Task 2: Interview Set 4

Theme: Work & helping others. Answer all four. 45 seconds each, no preparation. Record + keep your script.

  1. Q1 · Personal recall
    Describe a time when you helped someone. What did you do, and what was the result?
  2. Q2 · Reaction & preference
    Some people prefer working from home, while others prefer working in an office. Which would you prefer, and why?
  3. Q3 · Opinion with support
    Do you think people are generally more productive working in a team or working alone?
  4. Q4 · Broader issue
    Should companies allow employees to choose their own working hours? Why or why not?

💡 Powerful Pro Tips

  • Compare Set 4 to Set 1. More natural? More anchored? That gap is 11 days of work paying off.
  • One anchor, every answer — a person, place, number, or moment.
  • Q4 = stance + mechanism + limit — the acknowledged limit is the Band-6 move.
  • End clean, vary your closers — land every plane.
