- Band 8.0 Sample Answers:
Over the course of my life, I have been watching a lot of television programs, ranging from
scientific to reality shows. However, the TV program that I am addicted to is the Apprentice on
NBC channel. The show airs for about 30 minutes, twice a week. The show is hosted by Donal
Trump, one of the richest and most powerful billionaires in the world.
There are often 10 people in each episode and all the participants are young, dynamic,
enthusiastic and talented people from all walks of life. Despite of different backgrounds, they all
share the same dream of becoming successful people, which is the very reason why they join
this program.
The Apprentice is regarded among one of the most popular educational TV programs. Watching
this program, I can gain a deeper insight into the business world and about obstacles that people
have to encounter and overcome in order to succeed.
This program is useful for not only business people but also young people like me. It inspires us
and motivates us to advance in our career paths.

Well, I’m really into mobile apps so I set up at least 20 helpful apps on my smartphone like
Meditation, Tripadvisor, Ted, Lumosity, Dulingo, Wunderlist. But maybe Money Lover is the most
useful one and at the top of my list.
Let me tell you about it in more detail. The symbol of the app is a very cute piggy bank which
impresses me a lot at the first sight. There are many expenses for clothes, food, cosmetics
divided so that at the end of the month, I can know exactly what cost me a bomb, what are within
my budget to tighten the belt next month.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this way of saving money changes my life for the better.
Thanks to that, I am better at money management. When talking about money saving, my friends
consider me as a shining model for them to follow. This makes me so proud of myself.
In addition, my mom always got shirty with me for my wasting money but at the moment, she
hardly loses her temper anymore and we seem to have better relationship than in the past.
If anyone asks what application I like best, “Money Lover” is the first thing that comes to my
mind. Trust me, it is really helpful.
142. Describe a new skill you would like to learn.

how difficult you think it would be
and explain why you would like to learn this skill.
- Band 8.5 Model Answer:
I’d like to talk about a new skill that I want to learn. I’m the kind of adventurous person who
enjoys the challenge of learning new things, whether it is a new sport or a skill that would be
useful to me.
I would like to have the skills to set up my own website. Probably the best place to learn to do
this would be online, using a distance-learning course run by a university, which I could take free
of charge. I wouldn’t need to t
ravel and I could complete the course at my own pace in my spare
time.
Although there would be a lot to learn, I already use computers all the time, so I think that I could
pick up the basics quite quickly. With practice, I would become more creative and able to
incorporate new features on my website.
Of course, I imagine that I would find the course interesting, but I have a practical reason for
wanting to master this skill. I have recently started my own company, selling sports goods, so it
would be a really cost-effective and attractive way to advertise my products.

Sample Answer
It has always been my dream to be a singer ever since I was a child. When I was a kid I used to
be a singing talent. I would win many singing competitions and represented the school in the
choir. However, because of the pressure of the College Entrance Exam I had to stop singing and
focus on my studies to go to a good university.
The main
reason why I’d like to be a singer is cuz it would allow me to inspire the world. I’m quite
fond of the idea that people would be listening to my songs and trying to be more like me-a nice
guy.
These days, the only time I sing is probably in the shower or
when I’m at a karaoke bar with my
friends. I even had a plan for how to spend all the money I would make once I became famous
guess I’ll have to earn money the old fashioned way now
-by starting my own company.
If I had a chance I would definitely choose
to be a singer but I’m still quite realistic and that’s why
I’m go
ing abroad to study business.

Sample Answer
Personally, I would like to say that my favorite musician is Michael Jackson. And there are a
couple of reasons to name.
Firstly, throughout his career he received numerous honors and awards. He is the “King of Pop”,
but more and more people think “King of Pop” is not big enough for him; he should be the best
entertainer in the history. Also, Jackson had a notable impact on music and culture throughout
the world. For much of his career, he had an “unparalleled” level of worldwide influence over the
younger generation through his musical and humanitarian contributions. And he is pretty diligent.
When he was a little kid, he practices his voice and dancing regularly. Admittedly, he is very
gifted, but I think his success mostly dues to his hard-working.Personally, I would like to say that

Model Answer
My favourite season in England is winter. A typical English winter would last around 4 or 5
months between November and March, but when I say that I like the winter, I’m really thinking
about the coldest month or two each year.
During those really wintry months, the temperature drops below zero and it often snows. Over
the last few years we’ve had periods of quite heavy snowfall, to the extent that roads have been
blocked and schools have had to close. Last winter I remember looking out of the window one
morning and seeing everything covered in a layer of white. Obviously the snow is what
differentiates winter from the other seasons, but when it doesn’t snow there isn’t much difference
between winter, autumn and spring; winter is just a bit colder.
The reason I’ve chosen winter as my favourite season
is because I like the snow. I live near the
countryside, and the landscape looks beautiful when everything is covered in white. We also
celebrate Christmas and New Year in the winter, and these are my favourite festivals.
