SPM English Speaking Test Part 2

Holiday

Talk about a holiday you had recently. You should say:

– Where did you go?

– Who did you go with?
– How was it?
– Is it important to have a holiday? Why/Why not?

Suggested Answer:

I am going to share a holiday trip that I recently had.

I had this holiday with my family.

To begin with, my parents decided to bring me over to one of the

tourist spots in Malaysia – Melaka as they know that I am a
history enthusiast! Frankly speaking, I was so excited as we went
to a couple of places including Jonker Street, A Famosa and Christ
Church Melaka.

Personally, I loved this trip incredibly. One thing that amazed me

is that the different building structures in this city recorded the
journey on how our ancestors fought for independence!

Certainly, taking a holiday is important. Without a doubt, it is

necessary to take a break every now and then to help you unwind
and recharge your batteries. Additionally, traveling to different
destinations can be a fantastic experience that provides new
perspectives and experiences that cannot be learned from books.
A Wild Animal

Talk about a wild animal that you know.

You should say:

– where the animal lives
– what it looks like
– how it behaves
– is this animal special? (Why/ Why not)?

Suggested Answer:

The panda is something I’d like to talk about.

Pandas are native to central China and can be found in the

mountainous forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces.
They are easily recognised by their distinctive black and white fur,
with black fur around their eyes, ears, and legs, and white fur on
their body and face. They have a round face and a large body,
which makes them look like they are always smiling.

Pandas are generally solitary animals. They are shy and tend to
avoid contact with humans, but they are active during the day
and can be seen foraging for food. Pandas are loved by people all
over the world for their distinctive black and white fur, and their
playful personalities.

They are considered special because of their population declining

due to habitat loss and low reproductive rates. They only eat
certain kinds of bamboo.
A family celebration

A family celebration

– What the event was?

– What you did there?
– If you enjoyed yourself (why/why not)?
– Why family celebrations are important?

Suggested Answer:

I recently attended a family celebration for my cousin’s wedding.

During the event, I had the opportunity to catch up with relatives

I hadn’t seen in a while. The highlight of the event for me was
watching my cousin and her partner exchange the ring and
become husband and wife. It was a heartwarming moment and I
was so happy for them.

I certainly enjoyed myself at the celebration. Spending time with

family is always a special experience and being a part of such an
important milestone in my cousin’s life made it even more
memorable. The event was held at a beautiful venue and it was
filled with joy and laughter.

Family celebrations are important because they bring people

together and create a sense of community. They provide an
opportunity for families to bond and make new memories, which
can last a lifetime. This helps to strengthen relationships and
reinforces the sense of belonging within a family.

Movie

A movie that had a strong impact on you.

– what movie it was
– when you watched the movie
– how it influenced you
– if you liked it and why

Suggested Answer:

“Star Wars” is a movie that had a strong impact on me.

I first watched it when I was a child and I remember being

completely enamored by the epic story and memorable
characters. The imaginative world and special effects left a lasting
impression on me.

What really stood out to me was the themes of hope and the
fight against oppression, which have resonated with me
throughout my life. The characters, particularly the rebels,
showed me the importance of standing up for what’s right even
in the face of insurmountable odds. The film also taught me that
even the most ordinary people can make a difference and change
the world.

In terms of enjoyment, I definitely loved the film. The blend of

science fiction, action, and adventure made for an unforgettable
experience. The iconic score and memorable quotes only added
to the impact it had on me.
Eating Out

Describe your experience eating out.

– how often you eat out?

– who you usually eat out with?
– if you enjoy eating out (why/why not?)
– why some people prefer to eat out?

Suggested Answer:

Eating out is a frequent activity for me. I usually eat out once or
twice a week, as it provides a break from cooking and allows me
to try different restaurants and cuisines.

I usually dine out with friends or family, as we enjoy trying new

places and sharing a meal together.

I personally enjoy eating out as it gives me a chance to try new

foods and have a different dining experience. The social aspect of
eating out is also enjoyable, as it’s a great opportunity to catch up
with friends or family. Some people prefer eating out because it
provides convenience and ease. It eliminates the need for
cooking and cleaning, freeing up time for other activities.
Additionally, eating out offers the opportunity to try new foods
and dining experiences, making it a fun and enjoyable activity.

For those who live alone or do not have the time or resources to
cook at home, eating out is a convenient solution. Whether for
convenience or enjoyment, eating out can be a great way to
enjoy a meal.
A famous person

A famous person I admire.

– who the person is?

– how you knew about this person?
– why would you admire the person?
– if being famous changes a person’s way of living

Suggested Answer:

A famous person I admire is Elon Musk.

I first learned about him through his work with PayPal, and then
became interested in his other ventures such as Tesla Motors and
SpaceX.

I admire Elon Musk because of his visionary thinking. Elon Musk

has a unique ability to think about the future in a way that is both
ambitious and practical. He has a vision for a better world and is
not afraid to pursue it, even if it seems impossible to others.

Being famous can certainly change a person’s way of living,

especially if they are as high-profile as Elon Musk. It can bring
both positive and negative attention, and it can be challenging to
maintain privacy and lead a normal life. However, it can also
provide opportunities for influence and impact that might not
otherwise be available.
A best friend

The Best Friends in Your Life.

– What your best friend looks like?

– How you met?
– What you have in common?
– What activities you do together?

Suggested Answer:

My best friend is someone who is always there for me and

supports me. My best friend has a warm smile, bright eyes and a
kind heart.

My best friend and I met in high school. We were both in the

same class and quickly became friends because of our shared
interests in music and sports. I remember being struck by her
warm smile and friendly personality.

We started hanging out more and more, and soon we discovered

we had a lot in common. We both loved exploring new places,
trying new things and helping others. We also had a shared
passion for music and sports, and we would spend hours
discussing our favorite bands and athletes.

We have many things in common, such as a love for adventure

and trying new things. We also share a passion for helping others
and giving back to our community. We both believe in the
importance of hard work and dedication to achieve our goals.
A New Invention

Talk about a new invention

– what is the invention you like to make?

– why do you want to make it?
– how it can help you
– why people need modern invention at home?

Suggested Answer:

I would like to create a smart home assistant device that makes

household more convenient. This device can control lights, fan,
and other household appliance.

The purpose of this invention would be to make household tasks

more efficient and convenient, and to help people save time and
effort.

The smart home assistant can help me in several ways. For

example, instead of manually turn on the lights, I could simply
give a voice command. When I leave the room, it could
automatically turn off the lights. This would help me save money
on utility bills.

People need modern inventions like this because they make daily
tasks easier and save time. The modern technology is important
to help us manage our time and resources more effectively. It
would also be able to learn your habits and adjust to your needs,
making your life easier
Best Birthday Present

A best Birthday Present given to you.

– what the present was ?

– who gave you the present ?
– why it was special?
– what happened to it?

Suggested Answer:

The best birthday present I ever received is a laptop.

The laptop was given to me by my parents who wanted to

support my academic goals. They understand how important it is
to have a good computer and wanted to help me achieve my
dreams.

As a student, having a reliable and powerful computer is crucial

for my academic success. With this laptop, I can complete school
assignments, research online, and even engage in creative
pursuits like photography and music production. It has made my
life so much easier and I’m grateful to have received it.

The laptop is still in my possession and it is in great condition. I

take good care of it and use it regularly for various tasks and
activities. The laptop has been a reliable companion and I look
forward to using it for many years to come. It truly was the best
birthday present I’ve ever received!
My favourite local food

The local food you like the most.

– what is the food

– where do you get the food
– why do you like this food
– If you think it is alright to love western food more than the local food

Suggested Answer:

My favourite local food is Nasi Lemak. Nasi Lemak is a popular dish in

Malaysia that is considered to be the country’s national dish. It consists
of rice cooked in coconut milk, served with a variety of
accompaniments such as fried anchovies, peanuts, boiled eggs, and a
spicy sambal sauce. I usually get my nasi lemak from the food court
near my house, where it is sold at affordable prices.

I love nasi lemak because of its delicious taste and the various textures
and flavours it offers. The fragrant coconut milk-infused rice is paired
perfectly with the crunchy peanuts, savory anchovies, and spicy sambal
sauce, making for a truly satisfying meal.

I don’t think it is alright to love western food more than local food.
Every country has its own unique cuisine that is reflective of its culture
and history, and it is important to appreciate and respect these foods.
We should preserve our local cuisine and traditions, as it is a part of
our cultural heritage.
