Talk about: Zoo
You should say:
You have one minute to prepare and may make notes. Then speak for one to two minutes; the examiner may ask one or two short follow-up questions.
The zoo I want to talk about is the city zoo, located just a few miles from my home. I first heard about it from friends who recommended it for its diverse animal exhibits. At the zoo, you can see a variety of animals, including lions, elephants, and penguins. I think it’s an interesting place to visit because it educates people about wildlife and conservation efforts.
