SPEAAKING MODUEL

Describe a charity which is important to you.
You should say:

·         What the charity does

·         Why you are interested in this charity

·         How this charity raises money

I’d like to talk about the Will shire Wildlife trust. It’s a local charity which I support. It protects the wildlife in my local area. It preserves natural areas like fields, lakes and rivers, where animals live, and it makes sure that the animals’ habitats are safe from development. It also educates people about how to look after wildlife.
I’m interested in this charity because it is in my local area. There are lots of charities overseas that I could support, but you never know how your donation is being spent. Because this is a local charity, I can visit the projects and even get involved myself, if I have time. They organise quite a few events where you can help maintain forests and paths. I must admit, I haven’t been on one yet, but whenever they send me a leaflet, I always say I will!
The charity raises money by asking people to donate money regularly, straight from their bank accounts. I first heard about the charity because they had a stall at the entrance to the supermarket. They probably get money from other ways too, but I’m not sure about that.
I think it is important to get involved in charity work. It’s important to remember people who are less fortunate than you, or who are sick, poor or disadvantaged in some other way. And you can help people or animals that cannot help themselves. But I think getting involved in charity work is fun too. You get to meet lots of people and go to different places. And you can feel good about yourself.

Describe a place you visited when you were a child.
You should say:

·         where it is

·         when you went there

·         what you did there

and explain why you would, or would not, like to return to this place again

I’d like to tell you something about a campsite I visited quite frequently when I was little. It was called Brandy Brook, and it was on the south coast of Wales, in Pembrokeshire. It was near the sea, but it wasn’t really near any big towns. I remember, though, it was near an airfield, and we always used to get excited when we saw the big orange windsock, because we’d know we were nearly there.
We went there several times, always in the summer holidays, until I was about 10. I suppose after that, my parents thought I was too old for it.
So, we used to stay there in a caravan, which was great fun. We had to collect water from the taps outside the shower block and carry it back to the caravan. The caravans were all arranged around the edge of the field, so there was plenty of room in the middle to play ball games. There was a climbing frame in the middle too. There was a cabin which would open every evening at about 5 o’clock where we could buy sweets. During the day, we’d leave the site, of course, and go to the beach or go walking and sightseeing. In the evenings we’d go back, and play board games in the caravan. It was good.
I’m not sure whether I’d like to go there again or not, because I’m worried it might have changed, and I’d be really disappointed. Plus, it might be more fun to go there as a child, or as a parent. Otherwise it might be a bit boring.

Talk about yourself having a healthy lifestyle.

Please say:

·         What stops you from having a healthy lifestyle?

·         What are the disadvantages of not having a healthy lifestyle?

·         What can you do in order to have a healthier lifestyle?

I should like to enjoy a healthier lifestyle although there are many factors that make this difficult. Like many people my working life involves many hours sitting down at a computer screen. This leads to a lack of exercise and is bad for eyes and body posture. Travelling to work by car does not help either. Outside work there is not always time to take exercise or to prepare healthy meals. I know this kind of lifestyle affects my health and fitness and makes me more prone to suffer from illness. It also makes me put on weight. To have a healthier lifestyle I need to change the routine of my daily life, for example by cycling or walking to work instead of driving. I need to ensure more regular exercise even if this is only 10 minutes yoga in the morning. I also need to eat more carefully, especially fruit and vegetables, and not eat so much convenience food or red meat. At work I should take regular breaks away from the computer to relax my eyes and stretch my body. I plan to slow down and take time to enjoy simple pleasures like a well-cooked healthy meal or some sport in the sunshine.
