Describe a sport that you prefer to do and is a little expensive
 
You should say 
What it is 
How much it usually costs 
Who usually do it with 
And explain why you like to do this activity
Band 8.0 Sample Answer:
Even though people say 
it’s quite costly, it’s meant for the rich, but I would love to 
play tennis one day.
I knew just a bit about this sport, but it’s not too hard to estimate the price. As an 
amateur, at least I should have a nice Nike or Adidas which up to now is about 50 
USD, not to mention other fancy sportswear like T- shirt, shorts and socks. For 
equipment, bats, bat bags and also I should never forget safety equipment, sadly, 
it’s said that the higher it costs the better, so I’m gonna give it around 200 USD. 
So that wou
ld be 250 USD in total. Quite expensive I’m afraid. Anyway, my dad, 
who is not only motivated, but also knowledgeable about the sport, would definitely 
be my go-
to partner. I guess the reason why I’m into this quite-expensive sport 
firstly is because of its intense, intensive practice, intensive competitivenes, for 
example, which helps increase my patience and focus. In addition, such

independent sport meakes me feel rewarded, feel proud because what I’ve won 
actually is myself. 
 
Describe someone who has a great influence on you
 
You should say: 
Who this person is 
How she knew this person 
What influence this person has on you 
And how you think of the influence
Band 8.0 Sample Answer:
For this topic, I would definitely talk about my best guy friend. Probably i
t’s his 
personalities that not only makes me feel so proud to be a friend of his, but also 
inspires me to improve myself. 
The first characteristic that makes my friend special is that he’s a typical 
perfectionist. In almost any situation that he can come up with the best solution 
and reasons why it’s the best. Sometimes I get a bit lost, his amazing analyzing 
skill indeed helps get me through. Another characteristic that I’ve found super 
inspiring is his determination. Well, I suppose that most men are born determined, 
however, my friend is a different story. He never gives up on things he’s really 
passionate about. For example, last semester, he slept only 30 minutes a day, 5 
days a week continuously to get his group project done. In addition, it’s not a big 
surprise that his name is always in top-student list. That passion, that 
determination have encouraged me to keep moving forward. 
Generally, for a great shift that he brought to my life, I am thankful for having this 
friend.
