Speaking Task 4 guide
Prediction tasks build from a scene and ask what may happen next. A strong response does not invent unrelated drama; it uses visible actions and context as evidence for several plausible developments.
01
You view a scene, prepare, and speak within the time displayed by the player. The task tests observation, logical inference, future language, organization, and the ability to develop predictions rather than simply describe the current image.
02
Choose a visible clue, state what is likely to happen, and explain the immediate consequence. Repeat with a different person or area of the scene. Order the predictions by time or location so the response remains easy to follow.
03
Some responses describe the scene without moving into the future; others make unsupported predictions. NorthPrep pairs Task 4 practice with scene media, recording playback, model responses, and AI-assisted review to help separate observation from prediction.
