CELPIP Speaking Task 4: Making Predictions

आदर्श उत्तर (CLB 9-10):

“In this image, I can see a businessman in a coffee shop checking his watch, and he looks quite worried. There’s heavy traffic visible through the window behind him.

I predict that he will probably leave the coffee shop immediately and try to find an alternative route to his destination. Based on his concerned facial expression and the fact that he’s checking the time, it seems likely he’s running late for an important meeting or appointment. He might use a navigation app on his phone to avoid the traffic congestion.

On the other hand, he could decide to stay in the coffee shop and contact his colleagues or clients to let them know he’ll be delayed. This would be the sensible option if the traffic is too heavy to navigate quickly. He may even suggest rescheduling the meeting or conducting it virtually instead.

Whatever he chooses, it’s clear that the traffic situation has created a stressful problem that requires immediate action.”

• विविध modal verbs (will probably, might, could, may)
• दिखने वाले विवरणों पर आधारित विशिष्ट तर्क
• भविष्यवाणियों के बीच सहज संक्रमण
• 60-सेकंड की उचित अवधि, बिना भराव शब्दों के

आदर्श उत्तर (CLB 9-10):

“In this image, I can see a young woman who appears to be in the middle of a job interview. She’s dressed professionally and seems confident, using hand gestures as she responds to a question. Two interviewers are seated across from her, one taking notes and the other reviewing her resume.

I predict that the interview will probably go well for this candidate. Based on the fact that the interviewer on the left is nodding while writing, it seems likely that he’s impressed with her answers. Her relaxed body language and natural smile suggest she has prepared thoroughly, so there’s a good chance she will move on to the next round of the hiring process.

Alternatively, the interviewers could shift to more challenging questions in the coming minutes. Given that the second interviewer is still reviewing her resume, he might ask her to elaborate on specific work experience or explain a gap in her employment history. This could change the dynamic of the conversation and put more pressure on the candidate.

Regardless of the outcome, it’s clear that she has made a strong first impression, and the rest of the interview will likely depend on how she handles the tougher questions ahead.”

यह उत्तर प्रभावी क्यों है:

• विशिष्ट दृश्य विवरणों से वर्तमान परिदृश्य स्थापित करके शुरुआत
• पहली भविष्यवाणी दिखने वाले संकेतों (सिर हिलाना, नोट्स लेना) को तार्किक परिणाम से जोड़ती है
• दूसरी भविष्यवाणी वाकई अलग दिशा प्रस्तुत करती है, केवल पहली का पुनर्कथन नहीं
• पूरे उत्तर में विविध modals: “will probably,” “seems likely,” “could,” “might”
• अनुमान वाक्यांश सहज रूप से बहते हैं: “Based on the fact that,” “Given that,” “There’s a good chance”
• दोनों भविष्यवाणियों को एक साथ जोड़ता संतुलित समापन

आदर्श उत्तर (CLB 9-10):

“This image shows an outdoor community barbecue in a park, but the weather is clearly about to change. Dark clouds are rolling in, the trees are bending from the wind, and several people are already reacting to the conditions.

It looks like rain is going to arrive very soon, so I predict the organizers will probably start moving everything under the large tent in the background. The two volunteers who are already folding up the banner seem to be preparing for this, and the man grilling burgers will likely cover the grill or relocate it to a sheltered area. Judging by his worried expression, he’s already thinking about how to protect the food.

On the other hand, there’s a possibility that the families at the picnic tables may decide to leave the event entirely. The woman reaching for her jacket is a clear sign that people are getting uncomfortable, and if the rain is heavy, it could be difficult to fit everyone under the tent. Some families might choose to pack up their belongings and head to their cars rather than wait out the storm.

Either way, the relaxed atmosphere of this barbecue is about to change dramatically, and the next few minutes will likely be quite hectic as everyone scrambles to respond to the weather.”

यह उत्तर प्रभावी क्यों है:

• दृश्य का संक्षिप्त वर्णन, प्रमुख दृश्य तनाव (आने वाला तूफ़ान) को उजागर करते हुए
• पहली भविष्यवाणी विशिष्ट और दिखने वाली गतिविधियों पर आधारित (स्वयंसेवक बैनर समेट रहे हैं, शेफ़ ऊपर देख रहा है)
• दूसरी भविष्यवाणी सार्थक रूप से विपरीत: रुकना बनाम चले जाना
• अनुमान वाक्यांशों की विविधता: “It looks like,” “Judging by,” “There’s a possibility”
• Modal विविधता उत्तम: “will probably,” “will likely,” “may decide,” “might choose,” “could be”
• समापन वाक्य केंद्रीय तनाव से जुड़ता है और स्वाभाविक रूप से उत्तर समेटता है
