Is it never too old to learn new things? Do you agree or disagree?
🎯 Develop Your Ideas Fully: Part 4 questions require more depth than Part 1. Don't just give simple answers—explain your reasoning, provide examples, and discuss different perspectives. Aim for 60-90 second responses.
📚 Use Advanced Vocabulary: This is your opportunity to demonstrate sophisticated language. Use topic-specific vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, and varied sentence structures to show your language proficiency.
🧠 Think Critically: Part 4 tests your ability to discuss abstract ideas and complex issues. Consider multiple viewpoints, discuss advantages and disadvantages, and show nuanced thinking rather than simple yes/no answers.
📝 Structure Your Response: Organize your thoughts logically. Start with a clear position or main idea, then support it with reasons and examples. Use discourse markers like 'firstly', 'however', 'in addition', and 'in conclusion'.
💡 Give Relevant Examples: Support your points with specific examples from your experience, current events, or general knowledge. This makes your answer more convincing and demonstrates your ability to apply ideas to real situations.
🔄 Show Flexibility in Thinking: Acknowledge that issues are often complex with no single right answer. Phrases like 'on one hand... on the other hand', 'while it's true that...', and 'it depends on...' show sophisticated thinking.
🔗 Connect Ideas Smoothly: Use cohesive devices to link your ideas: consequently, therefore, moreover, nevertheless, for instance. This creates a flowing, coherent response that's easy to follow.
🎭 Express Opinions Diplomatically: Rather than making absolute statements, use phrases like 'I believe', 'in my opinion', 'it seems to me', 'from my perspective'. This sounds more natural and academic.
✅ Address the Question Directly: Make sure you actually answer what's being asked. Don't just talk generally about the topic—respond specifically to the question. If asked about future trends, discuss the future, not just the present.
⏸️ Practice Thinking Time: It's okay to pause briefly to organize your thoughts. Use phrases like 'That's an interesting question', 'Well, let me think about that', or 'I'd say that...' to give yourself a moment while keeping the conversation natural.
