2) What test-takers reported in July 2025 (themes & sample prompts)

These are paraphrased prompts aligned to each task type, compiled from public July-2025 posts/clips plus evergreen patterns seen in official materials. Treat them as practice topics—not leaked questions.

Task 1 — Giving Advice

• “Your friend wants to buy a car but is worried about costs. Suggest what to do in the short term.” (purchase decision scenario surfaced frequently in 2025 short-form prep clips).

• Use a 60-second template: Define Problem → Suggest 2 practical steps (eg: cost + safety/insurance) → Mention concluding action.

Task 2 — Talking about a Personal Experience

• “Describe a time you started a new job/course and how you handled the first week.” (common “first-week” narratives in 2025 coaching content).
  Template: When/where → explain the challenge you will be talking about → what actions you took →  what was the result of the actions → mention the lesson learned or the impact and try to tie to future.

Task 3 — Describing a Scene

• “You see a busy community market with families, vendors, and signage. Describe details someone off-site would need.” These scene-description style often mirrors official samples, dont forget to check them . CELPIP
  Template: Do a Left-to-right scan → Start and explain 3 specific visuals → Use orientation phrases (“on the right…”,” straight ahead…”, “Around the corner…”) → Mention safety marking like crossing , zebra crossings  and landmarks.

Task 4 — Making Predictions

• “Predict how remote work will change your city’s traffic over the next 5 years.” (future-trend prediction; common in 2024/25 prep streams).
  Template: Explain your Current state → Mention two trends eg commute time, efficiency , work life balance → who benefits/loses and how a balance should be achived → actionable tip.

Task 5 — Comparing & Persuading

• “Your condo board must choose: cut down a large maple tree near the entrance or fix a nearby manhole/safety issue. Recommend one.” . Reddit

• “Choose between buying a car vs. monthly transit pass for a commuter.” (recurring 2025 prep topic). TikTok
  Template: Mention a clear choice → Put forth 2 to 3 weighted criteria (eg cost, safety, community impact, model, features) → Dont forget to address counter-point → Put forth a firm close.

Task 6 — Dealing with a Difficult Situation

• “A neighbor’s late-night noise is affecting your sleep. Call and resolve it politely.” (conflict-resolution roleplays are standard across years). celtestpip.com
  Template: Begin with a empathy opener → mention how it is specifically impacted you (eg: disturbing routine. affecting work routine, young kid at home) → mention a collaborative solution ( keeping volume low between 10pm to 6am )→ suggest and confirm next step.

Task 7 — Expressing Opinions

• “Should mobile phones be banned in middle schools?” (opinion prompts on education/tech remain common across providers). E2 Blog
  Template: Mention clearly your position → Add two reasons with mini-examples → dont forget to acknowledge the other side → Finally close by restatinf your stance.

Task 8 — Describing an Unusual Situation

• “You found a bag at the transit station with IDs and tickets. Leave a voicemail explaining what you did and what they should do.” (unusual-situation voicemails continue to appear in official packs). CELPIP
  Template: Explain the Context where when and how  → mention the actions taken → what were the key identifiers (location/time) → mention next steps & contact information.

Why we trust these patterns: the task types and scoring are officially documented; July-2025 “topic flavors” above reflect user reports and coach content during the month, mapped to the official framework. CELPIP

3) How to turn these into CLB-9+ answers (fast)

Use the scoring grid as a checklist while you speak:

• Content/Coherence: 3 ideas max, signposted (“First…”, “Second…”, “Finally…”). CELPIP

• Vocabulary: prefer precise verbs (reduce, allocate, enforce); add one collocation per idea (traffic congestion, monthly pass, safety hazard). CELPIP

• Listenability: steady pace, 2–3 natural pauses, avoid fillers, vary sentence length. CELPIP

• Task Fulfillment: answer exactly what’s asked; include a recommendation when the task asks for one.
