You choose one of two options in a survey and explain why.

Tips

  1. 1

    Choose in the first sentence

    The task asks you to pick one option. Don't sit on the fence.

  2. 2

    Two reasons, each with an example

    Specific examples raise your content score.

  3. 3

    Mention the other option once

    A short “although” sentence shows balance.

  4. 4

    Use linking words

    Furthermore, as a result, for instance.

  5. 5

    Watch the time

    You have 26 minutes; plan for 3 and check for 3.
