Hello Reader, One of the top mistakes CELPIP test takers make with speaking task 3 is trying to talk about everything in the image. This is a trap! Do this instead. Where are my die hard Star Wars fans? From the GIF above, if you know who this character is and what movie he's from - hit reply and let me know. I will set up a free 30 minute CELPIP strategy call with the first person to get both answers right. Back to the speaking task 3 trap... If you try talking about EVERYTHING in speaking task 3, you'll likely get lower points because talking about everything means you're not going into much detail about anything.

I made this speaking task 3 deep dive post for you. Have a great weekend, Aaron |
