VIP Study Room
Your student ID and access code are on your course welcome sheet.
VIP · The Library
Six student booklets, English with 繁體中文, by James Lam.
The library is for enrolled students.
Speaking · 口語
Choose a part, open a topic, then press Practise. The room listens and gives you feedback on length, linking and vocabulary.
Part 1 lasts four to five minutes: short questions about you and familiar topics. Aim for 15–25 seconds per answer with A · R · E.
Part 2 is the long turn: one minute to prepare, then up to two minutes alone. Almost every card belongs to one of six families, and each family has one answer shape.

Part 3 is the discussion: abstract questions linked to your Part 2 card. Identify the question type, then answer with the Four C's in 30–45 seconds.
No one to practise with? Read a real Part 1 conversation with a partner voice. Choose a topic and pick Speaker A or B; the site plays the other speaker. Read your lines aloud as the words light up, and after each turn you get feedback on accuracy, pace and fluency.
