Society Participation

How to answer: structure and key points

How to answer

1. Start with the topic of the discussion.
2. Give each speaker's main view in turn, by name or role.
3. Say how the views relate: where they agree, where they differ, and any outcome.
4. Use your own words and keep going until the time runs out.

What each speaker says

Topic: Whether new students should join university societies

• Speaker 1: Societies build friendships, confidence, interests and career links, so every newcomer should join at least one.
• Speaker 2: Joining should not be pressured, since some societies are demanding; trial meetings first would help students choose.
• Speaker 3: Societies are rewarding if students pick only one or two that match their interests and study load.

Where they end up: They meet on joining a few well-chosen societies, tried out first, while keeping studies balanced.

These are key points and a structure written by RealPTE, not a script to memorise: say or write it in your own words.
