Today we were learning a lot of speaking test. Task 1 is about prompt (just a basic question for the beginning). Task 2 is about speaking for 1-2 minutes about a topic chosen from a card. I got a topic about my favorite book and my partner about her favorite tv program. I thought I will say about Detective Conan in the IELTS test (if it will be the question J ) because I love to read it and I collected them. Let me try now,
TOPIC CARD
Describe a book, magazine or newspaper article that you have read and that interested you.
You should say (optional) :
-When and where you read it
-What it was about
-What you felt about it
And explain why you found it particularly interesting.
Notes (the examiner gave one minute to make an outline of ideas but it optional) : conan, he, became smaller, 47, rent store, gramedia
My answer : My favorite book is “Detective Conan” Comic. It is a series comic. The newest edition is number 47. I always read the new one after it being released. Usually it took 4-5 months to get the one. I have been reading it since I study in high school. I have collected 40 series but the next series I just rent it in comic rent store near my campus. I am so curious about the next edition. The comic tells about a teenager detective named Shinichi Kudo. He was in vacation with his girlfriend when he met black tuxedo gangsters. They forced him to take a poison pill that made him smaller. He wake up and got himself became a 7 years old boy and changed his name to Conan Edogawa. It is his adventure to search the gangster location and solving many criminal cases. I love to guess the murders or the thieves. My brothers like it also but I often read it first if the new edition release.

If the question about tv program, may be I will tell about Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (an Indian film actor by Sahrukh Khan) or Doraemon or The Apprentice (reality show to work with Donald Trump).
If they ask me about my favorite restaurant, I will answer Babe Ily 
Gondangdia near the ‘Tugu Tani’. It serves seafood. My favorite meal is ‘kambing-kambing fish’ in English will be ‘goat-goat fish J’. It served in grilled. If my parent in law came to Jakarta, usually we eat at this restaurant. The taste is so crispy and there always crowded especially in the weekend. We can see it from the smokes and parking lot.

We have a listening too, I thought the conversation is slower than the real test. I have taken a preparation test provide by British Council. The conversation is so fast that I even can’t change my sit position). It is really need a deep concentration. We have writing which Douglas want to read it tonight and may be he will give us know about our mistakes. We have reading also and I got eleven answers correct and 2 wrong.
