The question

CELPIP Speaking Task 4 practice picture: Zoo

In this picture, what do you think will most probably happen next?

Excellent answer (transcript): around CLB 11–12

The image captures a family outing at a zoo, where the parents stand captivated by a majestic lion in its enclosure, and the children delight in monkeys swinging acrobatically. Nearby, visitors document the scene with photos under a partly cloudy sky. I foresee the family venturing further to explore additional habitats, while the shutterbugs persist, eager to preserve the day’s wild wonders.

Good answer (transcript): around CLB 7–8

This scene shows a family enjoying a zoo visit, with the parents observing a lion in its enclosure while the kids watch monkeys swinging playfully. Other visitors snap photos, and the sky is partly cloudy. I predict the family will move on to see more exhibits, and the crowd will continue capturing memories.
