Speaking Task Five: Use Modals!

Because Speaking Task Five asks you to summarize the possible solutions to a problem, you should use the modals "can," "could," and "should" in your answers.

For example:

Instead of saying: "The man wants the woman to buy a new car."

you can say, "The man thinks that the woman should buy a new car."

This English is much more natural sounding and more appropriate to the task.
