Talking about jobs

V: In my opinion it is very important to work in  a safe and pleasant workplace.Do you agree, my sister?

S:Yes you have got a point, but if you want  my opinion, a high salary is the most important  thing because if people earn a lot of money from their jobs, they possess a better lifestyle.

V:That is true .I believe people who work  with good colleagues feel better.They work more easily and they have got good  ideas about the business plans.

S:Yes you have a point,but a good boss is more important than good colleagues.

ECCE Speaking and some more thoughts


Could you tell me who is the person in that picture?
Of course.She is my little sister.

 Your sister looks very angry.What problem does she have?

Well, she wants to go travelling but she doesn't have the money, so she asked me to lend her.The problem is that I don't know if I should lend her the money she needs.

What are the options you have?
On the one hand I could lend her the money she needs but I don't know if she's going to pay me back someday. On the other hand, if I won't lend her the money, she's going to sell our grandmother's necklace which has big sentimental value for the family and that would be a shame.

I think that the best thing to do is to lend her the money.You are a family afterall and in a family all should help each other.You could also make her promise you that she'll return the money as soon as possible and I think that she'll keep her word .You also mentioned that the necklake has a sentimental value for the family so it would be a pity if she sells it and that's something that no one wants.



Thoughts about the Internet

Chat can help much people who want to learn a language and also meet and make friends around the world.There are million of people around the world who want to learn new languages and explore the world.Many of them offer some time to offer help to everyone who want to learn their native language.

Nowadays, it's very usual for people to go travelling and arrange where they're going to stay on the Internet. Also many people could offer you a place to live when you are going to travel in their country and in exchange you could , if you are asked to, return the hospitality they show you.

If you have an idea or something that you want to share, you can just post it on the internet so your friends can see it. The Internet can also be very useful if you want to study.Many students work on the Internet and their video courses. So it doesn't matter if you lose a lesson because the other morning when you wake up you are going to watch what you've missed, enjoing your coffee.

Information s and news are posted every day and they can be posted by anyone.You can have any service you want,like buying clothes or checking before your flight.You can also watch movies and play your favourite games any time of the day because the Internet is never closed/ never stops working!

So the Internet has revolutionised the way we communicate. On the Internet you can work,shop or have fun anytime.You can also learn and post about anything and the only equipment you need to have is a computer.

Although the Internet has so many advantages, it has also many disadvantages. The Internet has traps for everyone who is not careful or doesn't know how to use it safely. There are lot of times that people have disappeared when they are going to a meeting with someone they don't know or cases which nazi groups organised their attacks by using the social media.

The police has made many statements about the dangers of the Internet. Guns and drugs deals have been arranged on the Internet as well and many people have killed themselves because they were told to do so by someone unknown. Of course, the Internet has its own police which investigates crimes and deals online, but this is not enough.There are no laws on the Internet, so everyone can do whatever they want.

So the Internet can be a great tool for someone who knows how to use it and a great nightmare for these who don't.As it is, all the users of the Internet should be informed and alarmed for the dangers of it.I hope I've helped you to understand what the Internet is and how to utilize it well.

ECCE Speaking test: Stage 2

Could you tell me what the options are?

Of course. You could live in a house, some miles away from the university, or you could live in the dormitory in the university's facilities.

What about the advantages of each option?

Well, if you chose to live in a house you would have more privacy and you could also save some money because living in a house costs only 150 dollars. Additionally, you would have someone to cook for you as well and to do all the chores of the house. If you chose the dormitory, you would live with a roomate and you would also be more confortable because the dormitory contains shops,cafes and restaurants.You will also get to know other students and be closer to the lecture hall.

Can you tell me the disadvantages of each option?

Well, if you are going to live in a house you should take the bus to go to your class and you are also away from your friends.If you chose to live in the dormitory, then you should pay 800 dollars per month.Additionally, you won't have homemade food and you should also do all the chores.

I'd probably choose to live in the dormitory because I could have a roomate and all the university's facilities are very close. I could also be with my friends every time I want and finally I could learn how to cook.

Why don't you choose the other option? Explain briefly.
Sum up in a concluding sentence.
