30 CELPIP Speaking Task 4 Practice Questions with Sample Answers

This post contains 30 CELPIP Speaking Task 4 practice questions with answers, covering Making Predictions. Each practice question includes a sample answer from Arno's reviewed practice bank. This task appears in both CELPIP-General and CELPIP-General LS.

Practice Question 1

Look at the same picture. What do you think will happen next? Make several realistic predictions based only on the visible actions and reactions.

Sample answer

A few realistic and clearly connected changes will probably happen soon at this festival entrance. Markers and tape roll from a tipped supply box while one adult gathers them and another keeps people from stepping into the spill. Because of that activity, the two adults will probably collect the supplies and reopen the walkway. The volunteers will probably secure the decorations and finish arranging the booth before the festival becomes busier. Soon afterward, the staff member will probably ask the visitors to wait while the volunteer places the second supply bin beside them.

Practice Question 2

Look at the same picture. What do you think will happen next? Make several realistic predictions based only on the visible actions and reactions.

Sample answer

As a direct result, the two people will probably contain the leak and dry the remaining water. At the same time, the staff member will probably finish directing the visitors, the family will move toward the correct desk, and the visitor with the stroller will continue through the entrance. The participants will probably copy the demonstrated step and ask the instructor for help if needed.

Practice Question 3

Because of that activity, the owner will probably regain control of the dog while the seller keeps the fragile item out of reach. The seller will probably hand over the wrapped purchase while the volunteer finishes arranging the donated items. Soon afterward, the second worker will probably steady the equipment, the visitors will leave a wider path, and the workers will finish moving the load more carefully.

At the same time, the staff members will probably keep processing the line while the volunteer extends it for the next arrivals. One leg of a folding table buckles while two adults lift its corners and a third removes objects from the top.
