30 CELPIP Speaking Task 5 Practice Questions with Sample Answers
This post contains 30 CELPIP Speaking Task 5 practice questions with answers, covering Comparing and Persuading. 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
The sports club wants to welcome local residents who are attending for the first time. Review Central Bowling Lanes and Corner Board-Game Cafe, then select the better social option. Give weather reliability the greatest importance because there is a strong chance of rain. Do not speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Central Bowling Lanes
b) Corner Board-Game Cafe
Zara proposes Riverfront Skating Rink instead. Persuade Zara that the option you selected in Part 1 is better for the sports club's social event.
Sample answer if you selected Central Bowling Lanes
Zara, Riverfront Skating Rink could be fun, but Central Bowling Lanes is a safer plan for this group. The rink remains open in light rain, yet the forecast gives us a strong chance of rain, so its covered area may not provide enough certainty. Bowling has a fully indoor booking, which means the event can proceed without weather-related disruption. It is also a shorter walk from transit, six minutes instead of twelve, so newcomers will spend less time outside. The included facilitator can help first-time participants learn the activity and meet other local residents. Although skating is $50 cheaper, bowling offers greater certainty, easier access, and more support for new participants.
Practice Question 2
Avery is helping a family association plan an activity for local residents, including first-time participants. Compare Discovery Science Centre and Valley Wildlife Park. Given the strong chance of rain, choose the option you can defend as reliable even if the rain becomes heavy. Do not speak yet.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Discovery Science Centre
b) Valley Wildlife Park
Mina, the family association coordinator, has proposed Clayworks Family Studio instead. Persuade Mina that the option you selected is better for local families and first-time participants, with weather reliability as the main priority.
Sample answer if you selected Discovery Science Centre
Mina, I think our selected option is better than Clayworks Family Studio because it gives families greater certainty in rainy weather. Discovery Science Centre is fully indoors, so the strong chance of rain would not disrupt the booking. By comparison, the studio card confirms that its covered area stays open in light rain, but it gives us no information about stronger rain. The science centre is also only a six-minute walk from transit, while Clayworks requires a twelve-minute walk. That matters when parents and children are travelling in wet weather. Although the centre costs forty-five dollars more, the facilitator and materials are included, which would help first-time participants join comfortably.
Practice Question 3
The neighbourhood association needs a venue for a fundraising activity involving local residents who are participating for the first time. Compare Maple Community Hall and Weekend Market Booth, then choose the better option. Give particular attention to the strong chance of rain. Do not speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Maple Community Hall
b) Weekend Market Booth
Talia proposes Meadow Park Pavilion instead. Persuade her that the option you selected in Part 1 is better for the neighbourhood association's fundraising activity.
Sample answer if you selected Maple Community Hall
Talia, I understand that Meadow Park Pavilion costs less, but Maple Community Hall would give our new participants a much more dependable experience. The pavilion is protected only in light rain, and the forecast suggests that conditions may be worse. A fully indoor hall removes that uncertainty, so residents can plan to attend without worrying about the event changing. The hall also includes both a facilitator and materials, which would help people who have never participated before feel prepared and involved. It is only six minutes from transit, reducing the time everyone spends outside. Although we would pay $55 more, reliable attendance and better support could make the fundraiser more successful.
Practice Question 4
Compare Discovery Science Centre and Valley Wildlife Park, then choose the better activity for local families and first-time participants. Make travel time your main priority and consider the limited evening transit service. Do not speak yet.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Discovery Science Centre
b) Valley Wildlife Park
Mina recommends Clayworks Family Studio instead. Persuade Mina that the option you selected is better for the group, focusing on travel time and the limited evening transit available to local residents.
Sample answer if you selected Discovery Science Centre
Mina, Clayworks Family Studio sounds enjoyable, but Discovery Science Centre would make the whole outing easier to reach and leave. The centre is only a six-minute walk from transit, while Clayworks requires a twelve-minute walk each way. That difference matters for families travelling with young children and for first-time participants who may need extra time to find the location. More importantly, the science activity ends at 8:00 p.m., ninety minutes before the studio finishes. Families could begin their trips home while more transit is still operating instead of starting a longer walk at 9:30. The included facilitator and materials also mean everyone can participate immediately. Although the centre costs more, its shorter access route and earlier departure make it the more dependable choice.
Practice Question 5
Compare Garden Cafe Dinner and Lakeside Appreciation Picnic, then choose the better volunteer appreciation option. Focus on total travel time, limited evening transit, and the needs of local residents and first-time participants. Do not speak yet.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Garden Cafe Dinner
b) Lakeside Appreciation Picnic
Leila suggests replacing your selected option with the Civic Theatre Evening Show. Persuade Leila that the option you selected is better for the volunteer group, with travel time and limited evening transit as your main considerations.
Sample answer if you selected Garden Cafe Dinner
Leila, the Civic Theatre Evening Show could be enjoyable, but the Garden Cafe Dinner is more practical for our volunteers. It is only a six-minute walk from transit and finishes at 8:00 p.m. near rapid transit. Local residents can therefore start their trips home earlier, before evening service becomes too limited. By contrast, the theatre ends at 9:30 p.m., and participants must then walk twelve minutes to transit. That late journey could be inconvenient for first-time participants who are unfamiliar with the area. The dinner also includes a facilitator and materials. Although it costs thirty dollars more than the theatre, its shorter walk, earlier finish, and better transit connection make it the stronger choice when travel time is our main priority.
Practice Question 6
Hana and Marcus are helping their neighbourhood association plan a fundraiser with local residents, including many first-time participants. Compare Maple Community Hall and Weekend Market Booth, then choose the option that best minimizes travel time and transportation difficulties. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Maple Community Hall
b) Weekend Market Booth
Talia, a neighbourhood association volunteer, proposes Meadow Park Pavilion instead. Persuade Talia that the option you selected is better, focusing on travel time and the limited evening transit available to local residents.
Sample answer if you selected Maple Community Hall
Talia, I understand why you suggested Meadow Park Pavilion, but Maple Community Hall offers a simpler trip for our residents. Participants would walk only six minutes from transit, so newcomers could find the venue quickly and arrive together. More importantly, the fundraiser would end at 8:00 p.m. near rapid transit. At the pavilion, everyone would leave at 9:30 p.m. and still face a twelve-minute walk before beginning the trip home, when service is less frequent. The hall also includes materials and a facilitator, allowing volunteers to focus on welcoming first-time participants. Although it costs $45 more, its shorter, more predictable journey makes it the practical choice.
Practice Question 7
Compare City Museum Tour and Island Ferry Excursion for the community club's weekend outing. Consider travel time, transit availability, timing, cost, and what is included. Choose the option that would work best for local residents and first-time participants. You do not need to speak.
Select the option you prefer.
a) City Museum Tour
b) Island Ferry Excursion
Nadia, a local resident and first-time participant, suggests Summit Climbing Gym instead. Persuade Nadia that the option you selected is better, focusing especially on travel time and limited evening transit.
Sample answer if you selected City Museum Tour
Nadia, I agree that Summit Climbing Gym sounds active and social, but City Museum Tour is more practical for our first outing. The museum requires only a six-minute walk from transit, and the program ends at 8:00 p.m. close to rapid transit. The gym finishes much later, at 9:30 p.m., and everyone would still face a twelve-minute walk before starting the trip home. With less frequent evening service, that extra distance and later departure could extend the journey considerably. The museum also provides a facilitator and materials, so new participants can join easily. It costs $45 less and gives the group a simpler, quicker trip.
Practice Question 8
Compare the two celebration options for the workplace team. Choose the option you prefer. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Harbour Cooking Studio
b) Cedar Picnic Pavilion
Your coworker Malik proposes Northline Games Hall instead. Persuade Malik that the option you selected is better for the team, especially because there is a strong chance of rain.
Sample answer if you selected Harbour Cooking Studio
Malik, I believe Harbour Cooking Studio is the more reliable choice for our celebration. There is a strong chance of rain, and its fully indoor booking gives us certainty without depending on the weather. Northline Games Hall remains open in light rain, but its information does not confirm what happens if the rain becomes heavier. The cooking studio also costs $135, which is $45 less than the games hall. It is only a six-minute walk from transit instead of twelve minutes, making it easier for local team members to reach. In addition, the studio provides a facilitator and all materials. That support would help first-time participants feel comfortable, included, and ready to enjoy the activity.
Practice Question 9
You are helping a family association choose an activity for local residents, including first-time participants and a participant who uses a wheelchair. Discovery Science Centre is available Friday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. for $195, including a facilitator and materials. It is a six-minute walk from transit and has a step-free entrance and an accessible washroom. Valley Wildlife Park is available Saturday from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. for $80, including reserved space and equipment. It is a twenty-five-minute bus ride away and has three entrance steps with no lift. Compare the two options and select the one you think is better. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Discovery Science Centre
b) Valley Wildlife Park
Your fellow organizer, Noah, proposes Clayworks Family Studio instead. It is available Sunday from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. for $210, with equipment included. It is a twelve-minute walk from transit, offers only snacks and soft drinks, and has step-free access but limited accessible parking. Persuade Noah that the option you selected in Part 1 is better, with accessibility as the main priority.
Sample answer if you selected Discovery Science Centre
Noah, Clayworks Family Studio does offer step-free access, but I think Discovery Science Centre is better for our group. The centre also has a step-free entrance, and it provides an accessible washroom, an important feature that the studio information does not mention. It is only a six-minute walk from transit, compared with twelve minutes for the studio, so reaching it should be easier for local residents. The centre costs $195, which is fifteen dollars less, and both a facilitator and materials are included. A facilitator would be especially helpful for first-time participants who may need guidance. Overall, the science centre offers stronger accessibility information, a shorter trip from transit, and better value.
Practice Question 10
Compare Canvas Art Studio and Neighbourhood Maker Lab. With a total budget of $120 and first-time participants in mind, decide which option is more suitable. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Canvas Art Studio
b) Neighbourhood Maker Lab
Chloe proposes Community Teaching Kitchen instead. Persuade Chloe that the option you selected in Part 1 is better for the group.
Sample answer if you selected Canvas Art Studio
Chloe, the Community Teaching Kitchen could be fun, but Canvas Art Studio fits our plans much better. We can spend no more than $120, and the kitchen would cost $180 after its booking fee. The canvas workshop stays within our limit because its $120 price already covers the facilitator and materials. It is also easier to reach, with only a six-minute walk from transit instead of twelve minutes. Most importantly, having guidance and supplies provided should make the experience comfortable for residents who have never participated before. The Friday session lasts just two hours, so it is a manageable, affordable introduction to a group arts activity.
Practice Question 11
Compare Canvas Art Studio and Neighbourhood Maker Lab for local residents attending their first group workshop. The arts centre has confirmed that an approved wheelchair ramp can be securely installed over the three entrance steps at Neighbourhood Maker Lab if requested 48 hours in advance. Consider each option's accessibility, schedule, cost, included support, and transportation, then choose the better option. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Canvas Art Studio
b) Neighbourhood Maker Lab
Dylan proposes Community Teaching Kitchen instead. Persuade Dylan that the option you selected is better for the local residents, especially the participant who uses a wheelchair and those attending their first workshop.
Sample answer if you selected Canvas Art Studio
Dylan, I still think Canvas Art Studio is the better choice. Its permanent step-free entrance and accessible washroom give our wheelchair user reliable access without requiring an arrangement 48 hours beforehand. That certainty matters when accessibility is our main priority. The facilitator and included materials would also help first-time participants feel comfortable. Compared with Community Teaching Kitchen, the studio costs $50 less and is six minutes closer to transit. Although the kitchen has step-free access, its accessible parking is limited, which could create uncertainty for anyone arriving by car. Both activities last two hours, but the studio offers stronger support, easier transit access, and clearer accessibility for everyone.
Practice Question 12
Iris is planning a celebration near the workplace for colleagues who are local residents. The group includes first-time participants and a participant who uses a wheelchair. Compare Harbour Cooking Studio and Cedar Picnic Pavilion, then select the option you prefer. Do not speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Harbour Cooking Studio
b) Cedar Picnic Pavilion
Malik proposes Northline Games Hall instead. Persuade Malik that the option you selected in Part 1 is better for the team, especially when considering accessibility and the needs of first-time participants.
Sample answer if you selected Harbour Cooking Studio
Malik, Northline Games Hall has step-free access, but Harbour Cooking Studio is a better choice for our team. The studio confirms both a step-free entrance and an accessible washroom, while the games hall has limited accessible parking. Harbour is also closer to transit, with a six-minute walk instead of twelve minutes, and it costs $35 less. The included facilitator can help first-time participants feel comfortable, and all materials are provided. Northline includes equipment, but its late Sunday schedule and limited food options may be less convenient. Overall, Harbour offers a more accessible, affordable, and welcoming celebration for everyone.
Practice Question 13
Review City Museum Tour and Island Ferry Excursion for the community club. Compare their schedule, cost, transportation, included services, and accessibility, then select the option that best suits local residents and first-time participants, including someone who uses a wheelchair.
Select the option you prefer.
a) City Museum Tour
b) Island Ferry Excursion
Nadia suggests Summit Climbing Gym as a third option. Persuade Nadia that the option you selected is better for the group, keeping accessibility as the main priority.
Sample answer if you selected City Museum Tour
Nadia, I understand why Summit Climbing Gym seems appealing, especially since equipment is included. However, City Museum Tour is the stronger choice for our group. It provides a step-free entrance and an accessible washroom, which directly support the participant who uses a wheelchair. The gym is step-free, but its limited accessible parking creates uncertainty before the activity even begins. The museum is also closer to transit, with only a six-minute walk compared with twelve minutes for the gym. It costs $25 less and includes both materials and a facilitator. That extra guidance would help first-time participants feel comfortable, while the Friday evening schedule still leaves most of the weekend free.
Practice Question 14
Leila is helping the volunteer centre plan an appreciation event for local residents. The group includes first-time participants and a participant who uses a wheelchair, so inclusive access and opportunities to get acquainted are especially important. Compare the two options and choose the one you prefer. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Garden Cafe Dinner
b) Lakeside Appreciation Picnic
Your fellow organizer, Owen, proposes the Civic Theatre Evening Show. Persuade Owen that the option you selected is better for welcoming and appreciating the volunteer group, with accessibility as the main priority.
Sample answer if you selected Garden Cafe Dinner
Owen, the Civic Theatre Evening Show could be enjoyable, but the Garden Cafe Dinner would be a more inclusive thank-you event. The cafe has both a step-free entrance and an accessible washroom, giving our wheelchair user clear access to essential facilities. It is also only six minutes from transit, while the theatre requires a twelve-minute walk and has limited accessible parking. The dinner runs from six until eight on Friday, so we can appreciate everyone without asking them to stay out late on Sunday. It also costs $180, which saves $20 compared with the show. Most importantly, sharing dinner gives first-time participants a natural chance to introduce themselves and connect with local volunteers.
Practice Question 15
The sports club is planning a social for local residents and first-time participants. One participant uses a wheelchair, so step-free access is mandatory and an option without it cannot be selected. Compare Central Bowling Lanes and Corner Board-Game Cafe, then choose the eligible option. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Central Bowling Lanes
b) Corner Board-Game Cafe
Adrian proposes Riverfront Skating Rink instead. Persuade Adrian that the option you selected is better for the group, keeping accessibility as the main priority.
Sample answer if you selected Central Bowling Lanes
Adrian, Central Bowling Lanes would be better than Riverfront Skating Rink because accessibility is our main priority. Both places offer step-free access, but the bowling venue also confirms an accessible washroom. It is only a six-minute walk from transit, half the rink's twelve-minute distance, which should make arrival easier for local residents. Bowling also includes a facilitator and materials, so first-time participants will have guidance and everything they need. The rink includes equipment, but its accessible parking is limited, creating uncertainty for anyone who needs to arrive by car. Although bowling costs $60 more, its stronger accessibility details and participant support make it the more dependable and welcoming choice.
Practice Question 16
Compare Central Bowling Lanes and Corner Board-Game Cafe for a sports club social involving local residents who are participating for the first time. Choose the better option, with the total budget of $115 as your main priority. Do not speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Central Bowling Lanes
b) Corner Board-Game Cafe
Adrian proposes Riverfront Skating Rink instead. Persuade Adrian that the option you selected is better for the sports club social.
Sample answer if you selected Corner Board-Game Cafe
Adrian, I agree that Riverfront Skating Rink could be active and fun, but I would keep Corner Board-Game Cafe for our sports club social. The cafe’s $70 price and $45 equipment fee total exactly $115, so we can respect our full budget. Skating would reach $230 once its $20 booking fee is added, more than twice what we have. The cafe also provides a reserved space and equipment for four hours on Saturday afternoon. That longer, relaxed session gives local residents who are attending for the first time plenty of time to learn games and meet one another. Even with the twenty-five-minute bus trip, it is the financially responsible and more welcoming choice.
Practice Question 17
Compare City Museum Tour and Island Ferry Excursion for local residents who are joining the community club for the first time. Since included supplies are the main priority, choose the option you prefer. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) City Museum Tour
b) Island Ferry Excursion
Nadia recommends Summit Climbing Gym instead. Persuade Nadia that the option you selected in Part 1 is better for the first-time participants.
Sample answer if you selected City Museum Tour
Nadia, I agree that Summit Climbing Gym sounds active and costs slightly less, but City Museum Tour is better for our first-time participants. The museum provides all materials and safety equipment, along with a facilitator who can guide the group. That support is valuable when residents have never joined one of our outings before. The gym includes equipment, but the group still has to manage one shared materials fee. The museum is also only a six-minute walk from transit, compared with twelve minutes for the gym. Its Friday evening schedule keeps Saturday and Sunday available for other plans. For a welcoming, fully supplied first outing, the museum is the stronger choice.
Practice Question 18
Your neighbourhood association is organizing a fundraiser for local residents. Several people are joining an association event for the first time, and one participant uses a wheelchair. Compare the two venue options and choose the one you prefer. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Maple Community Hall
b) Weekend Market Booth
Marcus proposes holding the fundraiser at Meadow Park Pavilion. Persuade Marcus that the option you selected is better for the group.
Sample answer if you selected Maple Community Hall
Marcus, I understand why Meadow Park Pavilion seems appealing, but Maple Community Hall would be a better choice. Accessibility should be our main priority because one participant uses a wheelchair. The hall has both a step-free entrance and an accessible washroom. The pavilion is step-free, but its limited accessible parking could still create difficulties. Maple Community Hall is also only a six-minute walk from transit, compared with twelve minutes for the pavilion. In addition, the hall provides a facilitator and materials, which would help our first-time participants feel supported. Although it costs $65 more, these features justify the price and make the fundraiser more welcoming for local residents.
Practice Question 19
Compare City Museum Tour and Island Ferry Excursion for the community club's weekend outing. Choose the option that best suits local residents and first-time participants, making reliability during the expected rain your main consideration. Do not speak yet.
Select the option you prefer.
a) City Museum Tour
b) Island Ferry Excursion
Caleb suggests Summit Climbing Gym as a third possibility. Persuade Caleb that the option you selected in Part 1 is better for the group, particularly because there is a strong chance of rain.
Sample answer if you selected City Museum Tour
Caleb, I understand why Summit Climbing Gym sounds enjoyable, but the City Museum Tour is more reliable for this weekend. The museum activity takes place entirely indoors, whereas the gym's covered area is guaranteed to remain open only in light rain. Since heavier rain is quite possible, the museum gives us greater certainty. It is also closer to transit, requiring a six-minute walk instead of twelve minutes, which would be more comfortable in wet weather. Although both choices provide equipment or materials, the museum also includes a facilitator who can guide our first-time participants. Finally, it costs $165, which is $35 less than the gym. For dependable shelter, easier access, helpful support, and better value, the museum is the stronger choice.
Practice Question 20
Amara is organizing staff development for local residents attending training for the first time. Riverside Skills Workshop teaches workplace communication through guided exercises, while Pine Trail Team Challenge develops teamwork through facilitated outdoor tasks. Compare the two staff-training formats and choose the better option, making travel time your main priority and considering limited evening transit. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Riverside Skills Workshop
b) Pine Trail Team Challenge
Felix, a fellow local resident and first-time participant, proposes Market Escape Room as a staff-training activity for practising teamwork and problem-solving. Persuade Felix that the option you selected is better, focusing on travel time, finishing time, and limited evening transit.
Sample answer if you selected Riverside Skills Workshop
Felix, Market Escape Room could provide useful teamwork practice, but Riverside Skills Workshop is much easier for first-time participants to reach. Riverside is only a six-minute walk from transit and finishes at 8:00 p.m. near rapid transit. Market requires a twelve-minute walk and ends at 9:30 p.m., when limited evening service could make everyone’s return trip slower and less predictable. Riverside also provides guided workplace communication exercises with a facilitator and materials, so it has a clear staff-development purpose. Although Market includes equipment, it costs $200, while Riverside costs $150. Riverside gives us suitable training, a shorter connection, and a more convenient trip home.
Practice Question 21
Your sports club is organizing a social event for local residents and first-time participants. Compare Central Bowling Lanes and Corner Board-Game Cafe, then select the better option with travel time as your main priority. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Central Bowling Lanes
b) Corner Board-Game Cafe
Your friend Adrian proposes Riverfront Skating Rink instead. Persuade Adrian that the option you selected is better for the group, focusing on travel time and limited evening transit.
Sample answer if you selected Central Bowling Lanes
Adrian, Riverfront Skating Rink sounds enjoyable, but Central Bowling Lanes would make the trip much easier. The bowling venue is only a six-minute walk from transit, while the rink requires a twelve-minute walk. Bowling also finishes at 8:00 p.m. near rapid transit. In contrast, skating ends at 9:30 p.m., when evening transit is limited, so everyone may spend longer getting home. The facilitator and included materials at bowling would also help first-time participants take part comfortably. Although bowling costs $210, which is $40 more than skating, its earlier finish and quicker transit access are worth the difference. For this group, bowling is clearly the more convenient choice.
Practice Question 22
Compare Harbour Cooking Studio and Cedar Picnic Pavilion. Decide which option would be better for your team of first-time participants, especially because evening transit is limited. Do not speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Harbour Cooking Studio
b) Cedar Picnic Pavilion
Your coworker Malik proposes Northline Games Hall instead. Persuade Malik that the option you selected is better for the team.
Sample answer if you selected Harbour Cooking Studio
Malik, Northline Games Hall could be fun, but Harbour Cooking Studio would make the trip much easier for everyone. The studio is only a six-minute walk from rapid transit and finishes at 8:00 p.m. Northline ends at 9:30 on Sunday, when transit may be less frequent, and people would still face a twelve-minute walk afterward. That could make some coworkers leave early or worry about getting home. The cooking studio also includes a facilitator and materials, which is helpful for first-time participants. At $135, it costs less than Northline, so we would get a convenient, organized celebration while saving $55.
Practice Question 23
A group of local residents, including first-time participants, is choosing a workshop connected with an arts centre. Compare Canvas Art Studio and Neighbourhood Maker Lab, using travel time as your main priority, and choose the better option for the group. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Canvas Art Studio
b) Neighbourhood Maker Lab
Your friend Dylan proposes Community Teaching Kitchen instead. Persuade Dylan that the option you selected is better for the group, particularly given the limited evening transit.
Sample answer if you selected Canvas Art Studio
Dylan, Community Teaching Kitchen could be enjoyable, but Canvas Art Studio is a better choice when travel time matters most. The studio is only a six-minute walk from transit and finishes at 8:00 p.m. The kitchen does not end until 9:30 p.m., and everyone would still have a twelve-minute walk to transit when evening service is limited. That later journey could make the outing less convenient for local residents and first-time participants. Although the studio costs less than the kitchen, it still includes the facilitator and materials, so the group receives everything needed for the activity. Its earlier finish and much shorter connection to transit would make the entire trip more manageable. For those reasons, I think we should keep Canvas Art Studio.
Practice Question 24
Review Canvas Art Studio and Neighbourhood Maker Lab for a gathering of local residents who have never attended a group workshop before. Compare the practical tradeoffs, including the strong chance of rain, and select the option you would recommend. Do not speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Canvas Art Studio
b) Neighbourhood Maker Lab
Priyanka suggests booking Community Teaching Kitchen instead. Persuade Priyanka that the option you selected is better for the local residents attending their first group workshop.
Sample answer if you selected Canvas Art Studio
Priyanka, Community Teaching Kitchen sounds enjoyable, but I would keep our booking at Canvas Art Studio. Weather reliability is our main priority because there is a strong chance of rain. The studio is fully indoors with no stated weather limitation, whereas the kitchen card confirms that its covered area remains open in light rain. The studio therefore gives us clearer assurance for the day. It also includes a facilitator and all materials, so first-time participants will receive guidance and will not need to prepare supplies. In addition, it is only a six-minute walk from transit, compared with twelve minutes for the kitchen. Finally, the studio costs $120, which is $60 less than the kitchen. It is the more dependable and practical choice.
Practice Question 25
Compare Maple Community Hall and Weekend Market Booth. Choose the venue whose full cost does not exceed the neighbourhood association's total budget of $125. Consider the listed price and every additional fee. Do not speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Maple Community Hall
b) Weekend Market Booth
Marcus proposes Meadow Park Pavilion instead. Persuade Marcus that the option you selected is better for the neighbourhood association fundraiser, focusing on the $125 total budget, local residents, and first-time participants.
Sample answer if you selected Weekend Market Booth
Marcus, Meadow Park Pavilion may be easier to reach, but the Weekend Market Booth is the better choice because cost is our main priority. The booth costs $80, and its additional equipment fee is $45, bringing the total to exactly $125. In contrast, the pavilion would cost $170 after its $20 booking fee, so it exceeds our budget by $45. The booth also includes reserved space and equipment, which gives our first-time participants a clear setup and four hours to welcome local residents. Although the twenty-five-minute bus ride is less convenient, it does not create another stated fee. Choosing the booth keeps the fundraiser affordable while still providing everything we need to participate.
Practice Question 26
The training centre is preparing staff to welcome local residents who are joining its programs for the first time. Compare Riverside Skills Workshop and Pine Trail Team Challenge as staff training options, with included supplies as the main priority. Select the option you prefer. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Riverside Skills Workshop
b) Pine Trail Team Challenge
Your colleague Rina proposes Market Escape Room for the staff training instead. Persuade Rina that the option you selected in Part 1 is better for preparing staff to support first-time participants.
Sample answer if you selected Riverside Skills Workshop
Rina, Market Escape Room could be engaging, but Riverside Skills Workshop would prepare our staff more effectively. Since included supplies are our main priority, Riverside is the safer choice because all materials and safety equipment are provided. A facilitator is included too, so staff can focus on learning how to guide first-time participants instead of organizing resources themselves. The Friday workshop lasts only two hours and is a six-minute walk from transit. Market Escape Room is also two hours, but it starts at 7:30 on Sunday, costs $210, and uses one shared materials fee. Riverside costs only $150 and offers a complete, guided training package. It is more practical, accessible, and suitable for staff serving new local participants.
Practice Question 27
Compare Riverside Skills Workshop and Pine Trail Team Challenge for a training centre welcoming local residents to their first staff-training session. Choose the more suitable option, giving greatest importance to whether the session can proceed during the expected rain. Do not speak yet.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Riverside Skills Workshop
b) Pine Trail Team Challenge
Rina suggests Market Escape Room instead. Persuade Rina that the option you selected in Part 1 would be better for the local residents and first-time participants, particularly because a strong chance of rain could affect the plans.
Sample answer if you selected Riverside Skills Workshop
Rina, Market Escape Room could be enjoyable, but Riverside Skills Workshop is more dependable for our first training session. With heavy rain possible, we need a location that will definitely remain usable. Riverside is fully indoors, while the covered escape room is confirmed to stay open only in light rain. Riverside also offers stronger support for beginners because a facilitator and all materials are provided. Its Friday evening schedule is convenient for residents who work during the day, and the six-minute walk from transit limits their exposure to bad weather. It is also $40 cheaper than Market Escape Room. Overall, Riverside gives new participants a structured, accessible session without forcing us to gamble on the forecast.
Practice Question 28
Your team members are local residents, and several are joining a workplace celebration for the first time. Compare Harbour Cooking Studio and Cedar Picnic Pavilion. Treat included supplies and equipment as the main priority, then choose the better option. You do not need to speak during this part.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Harbour Cooking Studio
b) Cedar Picnic Pavilion
Your colleague Elena proposes Northline Games Hall instead. Persuade Elena that the option you selected is better for the team, especially given the need for included supplies and equipment.
Sample answer if you selected Harbour Cooking Studio
Elena, Northline Games Hall sounds enjoyable, but Harbour Cooking Studio would suit our team better. The studio provides a facilitator, all materials, and safety equipment in its listed price. That makes planning simple and helps first-time participants arrive feeling prepared. Northline includes equipment, but we would still have to pay a shared materials fee, so the final cost is less predictable. Its listed price is also $200, compared with $135 for the cooking studio. In addition, the studio is only a six-minute walk from transit, while Northline is twelve minutes away. Since complete supplies are our main priority, Harbour Cooking Studio offers the clearest value and the easiest experience for everyone.
Practice Question 29
Leila is organizing an appreciation event for local residents and first-time participants at the volunteer centre. Compare Garden Cafe Dinner and Lakeside Appreciation Picnic, then choose the better option. Weather reliability is the main priority because there is a strong chance of rain. You do not need to speak yet.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Garden Cafe Dinner
b) Lakeside Appreciation Picnic
Owen, the volunteer centre coordinator, now proposes Civic Theatre Evening Show. Persuade Owen that the option you selected in Part 1 is better than Civic Theatre Evening Show for appreciating the group, especially given the strong chance of rain.
Sample answer if you selected Garden Cafe Dinner
Owen, I recommend keeping the Garden Cafe Dinner instead of changing to the Civic Theatre Evening Show. The dinner has a fully indoor booking, so the strong chance of rain will not disrupt our plans. In contrast, the theatre's covered area is only confirmed to remain open in light rain, which makes it less dependable. The dinner is also thirty dollars cheaper, costs only one hundred eighty dollars, and is just a six-minute walk from transit. Its facilitator and materials are included as well. For local residents and first-time participants, this convenient, weatherproof option would provide a more reliable and welcoming appreciation event.
Practice Question 30
Amara is choosing staff training for a centre that welcomes local residents and first-time participants. Riverside Skills Workshop is a facilitated session on accessible greetings, orientation, and participant support. Pine Trail Team Challenge uses outdoor role-play to practise teamwork and welcoming new participants. Compare both options on the cards. Because a participant who uses a wheelchair must be able to enter and use essential facilities independently, select only the option that meets this requirement. You do not need to speak yet.
Select the option you prefer.
a) Riverside Skills Workshop
b) Pine Trail Team Challenge
Felix proposes Market Escape Room instead, where staff would use escape-room simulations to practise communication with first-time participants. Persuade Felix that the accessible option you selected is better for staff training and for the participant who uses a wheelchair. In your response, compare your selection with Market Escape Room.
Sample answer if you selected Riverside Skills Workshop
Felix, Riverside Skills Workshop is the better staff-training choice. Its facilitated session specifically covers accessible greetings, orientation, and participant support, which directly prepares staff to welcome first-time participants. The step-free entrance and accessible washroom also mean the participant who uses a wheelchair can take part independently. Market Escape Room offers step-free access, but its limited accessible parking may create an arrival barrier. Riverside is only a six-minute walk from transit, compared with twelve minutes for Market, and it costs thirty dollars less. Since the facilitator and materials are included, Riverside provides relevant instruction, dependable accessibility, and better value for our centre.
