⏰ Day 3 Warm-Up — Anchor It

4 items · auto-graded

In Take an Interview, one concrete anchor — a person, place, number, or moment — lifts your answer above Band 4. Pick the answer with a real anchor.

Item 1

"Tell me about a hobby you enjoy."

A) "I enjoy many hobbies because they are fun." B) "Every Saturday I paint with watercolours in a small studio near my home." C) "Hobbies are a good way to relax."

B anchors with a time (Saturdays), an activity (watercolours) and a place (a studio near home).

Item 2

"Describe a place you like to visit."

A) "There's a café called Roasted on Abovyan Street where I meet friends on Fridays." B) "I like nice places that are quiet and relaxing." C) "Places are good to visit sometimes."

A names the café, the street, and when you go — vivid and specific.

Item 3

Which phrase is a concrete anchor?

A) "a lot of times" B) "very often" C) "twice a week for the last two years"

Numbers and timeframes ("twice a week for two years") are concrete; "a lot / very often" are vague.

Item 4

"Talk about a time you were proud of yourself."

A) "I feel proud sometimes when I do good things." B) "Last June I finished a 10-km run in under an hour for the first time." C) "Being proud is a nice feeling."

B gives a time, a distance (10 km), and a result — a real, provable moment.
