Same topic as Part 2, bigger ideas — how Part 3 actually differs
Part 3 questions connect to Part 2’s topic but ask you to think beyond your own experience — trends, causes, opinions on society, not just your own life. Here’s the shift.
Connected topic, different scope
Part 2 asked about a place you enjoy visiting; Part 3 stays on the same general theme but zooms out. Real example, Test 1: Part 2 was a place in your city you enjoy visiting; Part 3 asks “How important is it for cities to have green spaces and parks?” — same theme, bigger question.
Answer about people in general, not just yourself
Where Part 1 wanted your own life, Part 3 wants your view on trends, causes, and society — “do people in general,” not “do you.”
Answering “advantages and disadvantages of living in a large city”
I like living in a big city because there’s a lot to do.
Generally, cities offer more job opportunities and better transport links, but that usually comes with higher living costs and more crowding — so it’s really a trade-off depending on what someone values most.
It’s fine to disagree with yourself
You don’t need Part 3’s opinion to match Part 2’s answer — a question like “Do you think modern cities are becoming more or less friendly for residents?” can go either way. What matters is reasoning it through, not being consistent with an earlier answer.
Putting all 3 parts together
Part 1: your life, briefly. Part 2: one topic, developed fully for up to 2 minutes. Part 3: the same theme, argued more abstractly. Three different jobs, one connected thread.
