Questions in part 3 of the speaking
test follow on from the topic you were given in part 2. So, after last week's historic event question, you
might be asked some further questions about history and events. For example:
1. What do you think we can learn by
studying events of the past?
I think we can learn a lot by
studying history. Just as individual people learn from their mistakes,
societies can learn from the mistakes made by previous governments or leaders.
For example, from what I've read in the newspapers, many economists are looking
back to the time of the Great Depression, around 80 years ago, in order to
understand the financial crisis that is currently affecting many countries
around the world. Even if we don't always learn from mistakes, I think it's
fascinating to study history because it gives us an insight into who we are and
where we come from.
2. What important events do you
think might take place in the future?
It's really difficult to predict
what will happen in the future; most of the big, historic events of the past
would have been impossible to foresee. For example, I don't think that anyone
living 100 years ago could have imagined that people would one day walk on the
moon! If I had to guess what might happen in the future, I'd like to think that
scientists will invent cures for diseases like cancer, and we'll all live
longer.
