Hi Pelawat,

Quite a few test takers said they got this cue card recently in their exams, and I thought would be a good idea to cover it in today's video.

The cue card is similar to this one:

Talk about an important river or lake in your country. Please say

- what river/lake it is

- where it is located

- what you know about it

- and explain why it is important

Watch the video below to learn what you can say about an important river/lake in your country.

How to talk about an important lake/river in your country

Now choose a lake or a river from your city or your country to talk about. If you don't know any, Google Maps are your best friend! It will only take a few minutes to research the lake or the river you found, and you may even learn some new interesting facts in the process.

Did you find this video helpful? Put a like to let me know 😉

What's next?

Pelawat, that's actually a question for YOU. Let me know what topic or question in Speaking scares you the most, and I will cover it in my next video.

Looking forward to your reply.

Warm regards,

Simone Braverman
