5 CELPIP Speaking Task 1: Giving Advice tips

You give advice to a person in a situation.

Tips

  1. 1

    Use the person's name

    It makes your advice sound real and shows you understood the task.

  2. 2

    One piece of advice

    Recommend one choice and stick to it.

  3. 3

    Two reasons with details

    A reason plus a short example fills the time naturally.

  4. 4

    Speak at a steady pace

    Clear and easy to follow beats fast, for the listenability score.

  5. 5

    Finish warmly

    “Good luck!” or “Let me know what you decide” rounds off the answer.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Listing many options without recommending one.
