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: Choosing a first job after graduation

• Speaker 1: Prefers a multinational for training, pay, travel and cultural experience, arguing early skills matter more than security.
• Speaker 2: Prefers a start-up for varied work, fast growth and creative freedom, but says the choice should fit personality.
• Speaker 3: Prefers a government role for stability, set hours and benefits, seeing start-ups as risky.

Where they end up: They conclude there is no single best path; the right job matches each person's interests, goals and lifestyle.

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