Speaking Task 6: Dealing with a Difficult Situation

Preparation: 60 seconds Recording: 60 seconds

Your friend Lisa is having a birthday next week. You want to get her a nice gift because she just moved into a new house with a beautiful garden. You are considering two options: a gift card to a home furnishing store or a decorative vase for her flowers. Your mutual friend Sarah thinks you should get the gift card because Lisa needs many things for her new house. Your other friend Michael suggests the vase would be more personal and useful for her garden flowers.

Choose ONE:
EITHER
Talk to Sarah. Explain why you have decided to buy the vase instead of the gift card.
OR
Talk to Michael. Explain why you have decided to buy the gift card instead of the vase.
