Question Type 1: Basic Description Questions

Summary of "Types of" Questions

Don’t repeat the adjective used in the question. Example:

"What kinds of restaurants are popular in your country?”

In your answer, don’t use “popular”. Example:

“Yet I imagine the most widespread may well be…”

Sometimes candidates struggle to find content for these questions, because they generalize their answer too much. Example:

"What kinds of restaurants are popular in your country?”

If you say "Chinese restaurants", this is far too general and it is difficult to introduce other types of restaurants.

See the individual topic sections later in the book for vocabulary ideas on types and kinds of particular topics.
