Simulacro de Speaking: ropa y viajes

My name's Laura. / I'm Laura.

I'm from Seville, in the south of Spain. / I come from a small town near Madrid.

I work in an office. I'm an administrative assistant. / I'm a student. I'm studying at university.

Yes, I do. I usually read before going to bed. I love detective stories because they're exciting.

Not really. I prefer watching series on my laptop, especially comedies, because they help me relax.

I like pop and rock. I listen to music on the bus every morning and my favourite singer is Dua Lipa.

Yes, a lot. I've got a dog called Toby. I take him for a walk every evening.

I usually have dinner with my family and then I go out with my friends. Last year we had a party at my house.

On Saturday I went shopping with my sister and on Sunday I visited my grandparents. It was very relaxing.

I'd love to visit Japan because the culture is very different and I really like Japanese food.

Yes, definitely. I'd like to work abroad, and English is important for travelling too.

I prefer the afternoon because I'm not very active in the morning. I need a coffee to wake up!

My teacher is called Mark. He's from London and he's very patient. His classes are fun because we play a lot of games.

• In this photo I can see two young women in a clothes shop.
• They're standing between two rails full of clothes.
• The woman on the left has long brown hair and she's wearing a denim jacket.
• The other woman is blonde. She's wearing a grey striped jumper and jeans.
• They're smiling and talking to each other, so I think they're friends.
• The woman on the left is holding a red shopping bag, so maybe she has already bought something.
• Behind them there are lots of coats and jackets on hangers.
• On the right there's a mannequin wearing a dark blue jacket.
• Perhaps they're deciding what to buy, or one of them is asking for her friend's opinion.
• The shop looks modern and bright, and they look like they're having a good time.

• This photo is in black and white.
• It shows the inside of a very big clothes shop. I think it's a second-hand shop.
• There are long rails full of clothes: T-shirts, shirts and jumpers.
• In the middle there's a woman with short dark hair. She's looking at the clothes.
• In the background I can see some other customers, but it isn't very crowded.
• On the left there's a sign with a price: five dollars ninety-nine, so the clothes are quite cheap.
• At the front there are some woolly hats and scarves.
• There are long lights on the ceiling and a big painting on the wall.
• I think people come here to find bargains.
• I like shops like this because you can find unusual clothes and it's good for the environment.

• This photo shows a group of people cleaning a beach.
• They're picking up rubbish and putting it into green bags.
• There's a lot of plastic and pieces of wood on the sand.
• On the left there's an older man wearing green shorts and a white T-shirt.
• Next to him, a woman is wearing an orange cap and orange gloves.
• A boy in a yellow T-shirt is helping too.
• In the background I can see the sea, some hills and palm trees.
• The sky is grey and cloudy, so it might rain soon.
• There's a dog walking on the beach on the left.
• I think they're volunteers. It's important because plastic is very dangerous for sea animals.

• In this picture there's a young man holding a big blue rubbish bag.
• He's wearing glasses and a light blue T-shirt.
• He's smiling at the camera, so he looks happy.
• He's wearing gloves to protect his hands.
• Behind him, two women with red hair are collecting rubbish.
• They're all wearing the same T-shirts, so I think they're volunteers.
• They're next to a lake or a river, and there are lots of trees in the background.
• It's probably summer because it looks sunny and warm.
• I think they're cleaning the area because people left rubbish there.
• I'd like to do something like this because it's a good way to help your town.

• Shall we start with...?
• What do you think about...?
• I think ... is important because...
• He definitely needs... / He doesn't need...
• That's a good idea. / I agree.
• I'm not so sure. I think...
• What about...?
• On the other hand...
• So, do we agree that ... is the most important?

Lo que podría decir tu compañero:

• Shall we start with the umbrella? It rains a lot in England, so I think it's really useful. What do you think?
• That's true. What about the camera? He'll want to take lots of photos.
• Hmm, I'm not sure about the laptop. It's heavy and he's only going for a week.
• I agree. He can use his phone for maps, so maybe he doesn't need a map.
• Sunglasses aren't very important in England, are they?
• So, what's the most important thing for you?

I think the most important thing is the phone charger, because he needs his phone for everything: maps, photos and calling his family.

Yes, I have. I went to Portugal last summer with my family. We visited Lisbon and it was amazing.

It depends on the place. For the beach I pack shorts, T-shirts and a swimsuit, but for the mountains I take warm clothes and boots.

Yes, I wear them all the time in summer because the sun is very strong in Spain.

In the south it's hot and sunny most of the year, but in the north it rains more and it's cooler.

No, I do it myself. I usually make a list the day before so I don't forget anything.
