The LPAT Challenge

In the speaking exam, the examiners have to assess so many things in just a few minutes. Make it easier for them to give you high marks with this EXCLUSIVE script that I wrote (I got level 4.5 in grammatical and lexical accuracy and range, and 4 in organization and cohesion).  

 

Topic: To what extent do you believe tutorial centres improve learning?

 

What you get

Take a look at the EXCLUSIVE script. Full of grammar and vocab items that you can use in your own presentatin. Typed. About 300 words. 

 

How this helps

- Understand what the examiners expect of you.

- You can have a template and  structure to follow.

- You get a sense of what is good enough for level 4-4.5 from this example.

 

Bonus

Comes with very detailed comments about the good practices used in the script.

 

A taste of what you get-- the script

The news begs the questions: why do the elderly fall for scams that seem so obvious to us, and what can we do as a society to stop that from happening again? While a lot could be achieved by law enforcement actions against these predatory and parasitic behaviour, the real answer, in my humble opinion, lies in promoting life-long learning amongst the elderly, keeping them mentally fit and in touch with the wider world, which has numerous benefits not only to the elder learners themselves, but also very beneficial to the wider society...The Department of Health published a study that reveals that hospitalized older people with a cognitive impairment, like dementia, receive almost 9 hours more of care weekly from healthcare professionals than those without. Who foots the bill? Taxpayers! There’s a saying that goes ‘use it or lose it’ and it definitely applies to brain power. Geriatric and neurological research has found that learning keeps neurons working at optimum levels, which can forestall cognitive decline associated with aging. Lifelong learning preempts and twarts ‘brain drain’, so to speak, and thus makes it less costly for the society to take care of them. It is not just about cognitive health, but also mental wellbeing. Lifelong learning renews their sense of self-worth and motivation, keys to psychological health, which is otherwise quite expensive to upkeep. But the benefit doesn’t end here: not only does implementing community learning programmes lessen the financial burden on the society, but it also brings economic benefits.

 

A taste of what you get-- the comments

 

  • Transition between points is smooth, notably (between first two points: ‘But the benefit doesn’t end here: not only does implementing community learning programmes lessen the financial burden on the society, but it also brings economic benefits.’ and between the second and third point; ‘they bring income to the training sector, and not to mention the endless conversations we had about adventure sports.’)
  • The first two points complement each other: money saved, and money earned; the third point complements the first two points: money and family--a clear sign of thoughtful organization because it is clear that the points progressed logically in each part
  • Correct use of complex sentences and a wide range of sentence patterns. Take this as an example: ‘keeping them mentally fit and in touch with the wider world, which has numerous benefits not only to the elder learners themselves, but also very beneficial to the wider society’. This is a participle phrase (keeping…) which contains a relative clause (which has…) and advanced sentence structure (not only…).
  • You do not need to have very difficult words to get high marks here. The use of idioms, metaphors, quotation and collocations are also impressive
