Speaking Practice: Answering Questions: A Video from the Future

Watch the videos and answer the questions! Short pauses have been added at the questions, but if you need more time, just hit pause in the video player.

Don’t think too hard – just answer. The questions are different, but answering questions quickly is good practice for Part 3 in the IELTS Speaking test.

The videos are from the excellent ‘Kids/Teens/Elders React To…’ series by the Fine Brothers.  (Link is at the end of this page.)
