Part 2 (Long Turn / Cue Card)

Describe a book that you enjoyed reading because you had to think a lot. You should say:

– what this book was

– why you decided to read it

– what reading this book made you think about

– and explain why you enjoyed reading this book.

One book I really enjoyed reading was 1984 by George Orwell. I read it last year because one of my friends recommended it and I had heard it was a classic. The book made me think a lot about freedom, privacy, and how much control governments should have over people’s lives. It’s set in a world where the government watches everyone all the time, and people can’t express their true thoughts. While reading it, I started to compare it with what’s happening in the world today, like how much information we share online and how it can be used. I enjoyed this book because it was deep and thought-provoking. It made me question things I’d never really thought about before. I also liked the way it was written — the story was interesting and the characters felt real. Even though it was sometimes depressing, it opened my mind and made me appreciate the value of freedom and independent thinking.

Part 3 (Discussion) Topic: Children and reading

What are the most popular types of children’s books in your country?

Fairy tales and adventure stories are the most popular because they’re fun and spark kids’ imaginations.

What are the benefits of parents reading books to their children?

It helps children learn new words, improves their listening skills, and brings parents and kids closer together.

Should parents always let children choose the books they read?

I think children should choose sometimes, but parents can guide them to pick books that are age appropriate and educational.

Topic: Electronic books

How popular are electronic books in your country?

They’re becoming more popular, especially among young people who like reading on their phones or tablets.

What are the advantages of parents reading electronic books (compared to printed books)?

E-books are convenient because you can store many books on one device and adjust the text size, which can be helpful.

Will electronic books ever completely replace printed books in the future?

I don’t think so. Many people still enjoy the feel of a real book, so I think both will exist side by side.
