SET 1
### PART 1 — MAPS
1\. Do you often use maps? Quite often, actually, especially when I’m visiting somewhere unfamiliar. I usually check Google Maps before leaving because I hate wandering around aimlessly. It saves me time and helps me get my bearings. (Vocab: navigate, get my bearings | Idiom: wander around aimlessly)
2\. Are paper maps still useful? They can be, particularly when your phone runs out of battery or you lose your internet connection. I’d personally reach for my phone first, but a paper map can be a real lifesaver in remote areas. (Vocab: physical map, remote area | Idiom: a real lifesaver)
3\. Do you prefer using maps on your phone? Definitely, because they’re convenient and give you directions in real time. I can check traffic, compare routes and even find nearby cafés without much effort. It’s hard to beat that level of convenience. (Vocab: real-time directions, alternative route | Idiom: hard to beat)
4\. Have you ever got lost? A couple of times, actually! I once followed the wrong route and ended up in a completely different part of town. It was frustrating at first, but I eventually figured it out and learnt to double-check directions. (Vocab: wrong turn, unfamiliar neighbourhood | Idiom: figure something out)
### PART 1 — MAKE-UP
1\. Do you wear make-up? Only occasionally, mainly when I’m attending a special event or going somewhere nice. I prefer a fairly natural look rather than anything too heavy. A little concealer and lipstick are usually enough for me. (Vocab: natural finish, subtle look | Expression: keep it simple)
2\. What kind of make-up do you like? I’m more into understated make-up that enhances my features without looking overdone. Neutral shades are my favourite because they go with almost anything. I’d rather look fresh than spend ages getting ready. (Vocab: understated, neutral shades | Idiom: less is more)
3\. Did you wear make-up as a teenager? Not much, to be honest. I was more interested in experimenting with hairstyles and clothes back then. I gradually became more interested in make-up as I got older and learnt what suited me. (Vocab: experiment with, suit my complexion | Expression: grow into something)
4\. Do you think people spend too much on make-up? Some people probably do, especially when they keep buying products they hardly use. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying beauty products, but I wouldn’t spend a fortune just to follow every new trend. (Vocab: beauty products, beauty trend | Idiom: spend a fortune)
### PART 1 — HOBBY
1\. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? I’m quite fond of drawing and colouring, especially when I want to unwind after a busy day. I can sit with my markers for ages without realising how quickly time passes. It’s a lovely way to switch off. (Vocab: unwind, creative outlet | Idiom: lose track of time)
2\. Did you have the same hobby as a child? I enjoyed creative activities as a child, although I probably didn’t take them as seriously as I do now. Back then, I’d draw whatever came into my head without worrying about whether it looked perfect. (Vocab: creative pursuits, imagination | Expression: come naturally)
3\. Is it important to have a hobby? Absolutely, because life can become rather repetitive when all you do is work and deal with responsibilities. Having something enjoyable outside your routine gives you a chance to recharge and focus on yourself. (Vocab: leisure activity, mental well-being | Idiom: recharge your batteries)
4\. Would you like to try a new hobby? I’d love to try watercolour painting properly. I’ve seen some beautiful landscape paintings, and I’d like to learn how to create something similar myself. It might take a fair bit of practice, but that’s part of the fun. (Vocab: landscape painting, develop a skill | Idiom: give something a go)
### PART 1 — CHESS
1\. Do you enjoy playing chess? I find it quite interesting, although I’m not someone who plays competitively. I like the fact that every move requires a bit of thought rather than relying purely on luck. It can be surprisingly absorbing. (Vocab: strategy, concentration | Idiom: keep someone on their toes)
2\. Did you play chess as a child? I was introduced to it when I was younger, but I never became particularly skilled at it. I understood the basic rules, although planning several moves ahead was a different story! (Vocab: basic rules, strategic thinking | Expression: a different story)
3\. Is chess difficult to learn? The basic rules are fairly straightforward, but mastering the game takes considerable practice. You need to anticipate your opponent’s moves and think several steps ahead. That’s what makes it challenging as well as rewarding. (Vocab: anticipate, tactical decision | Idiom: think several steps ahead)
4\. Do you think children should learn chess? It could be beneficial because it encourages patience, concentration and logical thinking. However, I wouldn’t force every child to play it. Children should have the freedom to explore activities that genuinely interest them. (Vocab: logical reasoning, patience | Expression: spark an interest)
### PART 1 — INDOOR SPORTS
1\. Do you enjoy indoor sports? I prefer activities that don’t require me to be outdoors in the heat, so indoor sports can be quite appealing. Badminton or table tennis would be more my cup of tea than something extremely demanding. (Vocab: physical activity, indoor facility | Idiom: my cup of tea)
2\. What indoor sports are popular where you live? Badminton, table tennis and indoor cricket are fairly popular, particularly among people who want to stay active without worrying too much about the weather. Many people also enjoy playing these games socially rather than competitively. (Vocab: recreational sport, sports facility | Expression: stay active)
3\. Did you play indoor sports at school? I tried a few activities, although I was never especially sporty. I enjoyed games more when there was no pressure to win and everyone was simply playing for fun. (Vocab: team activity, competitive pressure | Idiom: take part)
4\. Are indoor sports better than outdoor sports? Each has its advantages. Indoor facilities offer a controlled environment, while outdoor activities provide fresh air and a change of scenery. Personally, I’d choose whichever activity suits the weather and my mood. (Vocab: controlled environment, fresh air | Expression: it depends on the circumstances)
### PART 1 — HEALTH CHOICES
1\. Do you try to make healthy choices? I try to, although I’m certainly not perfect! I make an effort to eat balanced meals and get enough rest, but every now and then I give in to cravings. I believe consistency matters more than perfection. (Vocab: balanced diet, nutritious food | Idiom: give in to temptation)
2\. What do you do to stay healthy? I try to keep my daily routine reasonably balanced, drink enough water and avoid eating too much junk food. I could definitely be more active, though. There’s always room for improvement. (Vocab: daily routine, sedentary lifestyle | Expression: room for improvement)
3\. Do you think people eat healthily nowadays? It varies quite a lot. Some people pay close attention to nutrition, while others rely heavily on takeaway meals because they’re short on time. Convenience often wins when people have hectic schedules. (Vocab: nutritional value, processed food | Idiom: convenience wins)
4\. Is it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle? It can be, especially when work and family responsibilities leave little time for yourself. The trick is to make small changes that are realistic enough to maintain. Drastic routines often become difficult to stick to. (Vocab: sustainable habits, moderation | Idiom: stick to something)
### SET 1 — PART 2 CUE CARDS
### 1\. Describe an object you admire.
Today, I’m going to talk about a handmade wooden chess set that I came across at a craft exhibition. I wasn’t even looking for anything in particular, but the moment I saw it, I was drawn to the level of detail.
The set had beautifully carved pieces, and the board itself was made from two contrasting types of wood. What really caught my eye was that every piece seemed to have its own character. It looked elegant without being overly decorative.
I remember picking up one of the knights and noticing how smooth the edges were. You could tell that someone had spent a considerable amount of time getting every little detail right. I later found out that the set had been made by a local craftsman who had been working with wood for years.
What I admire most is the patience and skill behind it. These days, so many things are mass-produced, and you can easily buy something similar online. But an object made by hand has a different feel to it because you know someone has put real effort into creating it.
I didn’t buy the set that day because it was quite expensive, but I still remember it clearly. For me, it represents the value of craftsmanship and the idea that something made carefully can last for generations.
Vocab: craftsmanship, intricate details, hand-carved, durable, mass-produced Idioms/expressions: catch my eye, put effort into something, stand the test of time
### 2\. Describe a person who hates you.
Today, I’m going to talk about someone I once had a difficult relationship with. I wouldn’t necessarily say this person genuinely hated me, but there was definitely a period when they seemed to have something against me.
It was someone I knew through a shared social circle. Initially, we got along reasonably well, but things changed after a misunderstanding. A comment I made was apparently taken the wrong way, and instead of asking me what I meant, the person became distant and started making occasional unpleasant remarks.
At first, I tried to clear the air because I didn’t want a minor issue to turn into a bigger problem. However, every attempt seemed to make things more awkward. Eventually, I decided to give the situation some space rather than keep going around in circles.
What bothered me most was not that we weren’t friends anymore; it was the feeling of being judged without having a proper chance to explain myself. Still, I learnt that you can’t control how everyone perceives you.
Over time, the tension faded, and we became civil whenever we crossed paths. We never became close again, but at least things stopped being uncomfortable.
Looking back, I don’t hold a grudge. Sometimes people simply don’t see eye to eye, and not every disagreement needs to turn into a lifelong conflict.
Vocab: misunderstanding, resentment, strained relationship, clear the air, perceive Idioms: have something against someone, go around in circles, not see eye to eye, hold a grudge
### 3\. Describe a person who taught you something useful.
Today, I’m going to talk about my older cousin, who taught me how to manage my money more sensibly. I used to spend quite freely without really keeping track of where it all went.
One day, we were talking about saving for something important, and I mentioned that I never seemed to have much left at the end of the month. He laughed and said that the problem might not be how much I earned, but how casually I spent it!
He showed me a simple method: divide my money into essentials, savings and personal spending, then keep a basic record of everyday expenses. It sounded almost too obvious to work, but I decided to give it a try.
The surprising part was how quickly I noticed my habits. Small purchases that seemed harmless individually were adding up to quite a lot. Once I started paying attention, I found it easier to cut back on things I didn’t really need.
I’m still not someone who tracks every single penny, but I’m far more mindful of my spending than I used to be.
What I appreciated most was that he didn’t lecture me or make me feel irresponsible. He simply shared something that had worked for him, and I learnt from his experience.
It was a practical lesson that has stayed with me, because managing money well gives you more freedom and fewer unpleasant surprises.
Vocab: budgeting, track expenses, financial discipline, essentials, unnecessary spending Idioms: add up, cut back on, keep track of, learn the hard way
### 4\. Describe a time you lost your valuables.
Today, I’m going to talk about a time I misplaced my wallet while shopping. It happened a couple of years ago, and although I eventually found it, those few minutes were genuinely stressful.
I’d been visiting several shops and carrying a few bags, so I was distracted. When I reached the counter at the final shop, I opened my handbag to pay and realised my wallet wasn’t there.
I immediately started going through every pocket and checking between the things in my bag. My mind was racing because the wallet contained my bank cards, identification and some cash. I kept trying to remember the last time I’d used it, but I couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment.
I went back to the previous shop and asked the staff whether anyone had handed it in. Luckily, one employee had found it near the checkout and kept it safely behind the counter. I was genuinely relieved when they returned it to me.
The experience taught me not to be careless with important belongings, especially in crowded places. Since then, I’ve made a habit of checking that my wallet and phone are in the right place before leaving a shop.
It was a small incident, but it gave me quite a fright. I was lucky that an honest person found it, because replacing everything would have been a real hassle.
Vocab: misplaced, identification, bank cards, crowded area, replace Idioms: my mind was racing, give someone a fright, a real hassle, keep something safe
### SET 1 — PART 3
### 1\. Souvenirs
Why do people buy souvenirs when travelling? In my view, souvenirs give people a tangible reminder of an experience. A small object can bring back memories of a destination, the people they travelled with and the things they did there. For instance, someone might keep a handmade ornament from a memorable holiday because it reminds them of that particular time. Vocab: tangible reminder, memento, travel experience | Expression: bring back memories
### 2\. Learning skills
Why is it important to learn new skills? One of the main reasons is that new abilities help people adapt to changing circumstances. They can also improve confidence and create opportunities at work or in personal life. For example, learning digital skills can make someone more independent and better prepared for a modern workplace. Vocab: adaptability, competence, personal development | Idiom: broaden someone’s horizons
### 3\. Losing items
Why do people often lose things? A common reason is distraction. When people are rushing or thinking about several things at once, they may put an object down without registering where it is. For example, someone answering a phone call while shopping might leave their wallet on a counter. Vocab: absent-mindedness, distraction, misplaced belongings | Expression: lose track of something
### 4\. Feelings and emotions
Why is it important to express emotions? In my view, expressing feelings in a healthy way helps people manage stress and maintain stronger relationships. Keeping everything bottled up can lead to misunderstandings or emotional pressure. For example, calmly discussing a concern with a friend can resolve a problem before resentment builds up. Vocab: emotional well-being, communicate openly, resentment | Idiom: bottle something up
SET 2
PART 1 — RAINY WEATHER
1\. Do you like rainy weather? A light shower is lovely, actually, especially when I can stay indoors with a hot drink. The sound of rain is incredibly soothing, although heavy downpours are a different story when they cause traffic chaos. (Vocab: drizzle, downpour | Idiom: a welcome change)
2\. What do you usually do when it rains? I usually stay home and get on with things I can do indoors. If I don’t have to go anywhere, I’ll make myself a cup of tea and enjoy the cooler weather. It feels like a little break from the heat. (Vocab: stay indoors, cooler spell | Expression: make the most of something)
3\. Did you enjoy rain as a child? Definitely! I loved watching the rain and playing outside when it was only drizzling. My parents weren’t always thrilled about the mess, but I thought it was great fun. (Vocab: childhood memories, drizzle | Idiom: have the time of your life)
4\. Does rain affect your mood? It depends on the weather. A gentle shower makes me feel calm, whereas gloomy weather that drags on for days can make everything feel dull. I suppose the atmosphere matters as much as the weather itself. (Vocab: gloomy, atmosphere | Expression: lift someone’s mood)
PART 1 — PUBLIC TRANSPORT
1\. Do you often use public transport? Not as often as I probably should. I usually choose whatever is most convenient for the journey, but public transport is useful when parking is difficult or traffic is particularly bad. (Vocab: commute, convenient option | Expression: get from A to B)
2\. What kind of public transport do you prefer? I’d choose the metro for longer journeys because it’s usually more predictable than travelling by road. You don’t have to worry as much about traffic jams, which makes planning the day easier. (Vocab: metro system, predictable service | Idiom: beat the traffic)
3\. Is public transport convenient where you live? It depends on the area. Some routes are well connected, while others require people to change vehicles or wait quite a while. Better connections and more frequent services would make a real difference. (Vocab: well-connected, service frequency | Expression: make a difference)
4\. Would you like to use public transport more often? Certainly, if it were comfortable, reliable and easy to access. I’d be more willing to leave my vehicle at home if I knew I could reach my destination without wasting too much time. (Vocab: reliable service, accessible transport | Expression: leave the car at home)
PART 1 — SOCIAL MEDIA
1\. How often do you use social media? Every day, mainly to keep up with people and find useful content. Since so much information is shared online, it’s become part of my routine. I do try to avoid scrolling endlessly, though. (Vocab: online content, daily routine | Idiom: lose track of time)
2\. What do you enjoy about social media? I like how easily it connects people who live far apart. It’s also a convenient way to discover ideas, learn something new or follow people with similar interests. The trick is choosing content that’s worth your time. (Vocab: connect across distances, discover ideas | Expression: make the most of something)
3\. Has social media changed the way people communicate? Without a doubt. People can now share updates instantly, even across different time zones. However, online communication can sometimes lack the depth of a proper face-to-face conversation. (Vocab: instant communication, face-to-face interaction | Idiom: keep in touch)
4\. Do you think people spend too much time on social media? Some certainly do, particularly when a quick check turns into an hour of scrolling. It can eat into time meant for sleep, work or family. Setting boundaries would help people use it more mindfully. (Vocab: screen time, set boundaries | Idiom: eat into someone’s time)
PART 1 — TECHNOLOGY
1\. Do you enjoy using technology? Absolutely, especially when it makes everyday tasks quicker and easier. I use digital tools for work, communication and finding information. I wouldn’t want every part of life to depend on a screen, though. (Vocab: digital tools, efficiency | Expression: make life easier)
2\. What piece of technology do you use most? My smartphone, without question. I use it for messages, maps, banking and work-related tasks, so it’s something I rely on throughout the day. It’s convenient, although I sometimes wish I checked it less often. (Vocab: multifunctional device, rely on | Idiom: at my fingertips)
3\. Was technology important when you were a child? It was around, but it certainly wasn’t as central to everyday life as it is now. We had fewer ways to access information instantly, so finding answers often took more time and effort. (Vocab: access information, digital dependence | Expression: at the touch of a button)
4\. Can technology cause problems? Of course. It can save time, but overdependence can affect concentration, privacy and personal interaction. I think the key is using it deliberately rather than letting it control every spare moment. (Vocab: overdependence, privacy concerns | Idiom: strike a balance)
PART 1 — ANIMALS AND PETS
1\. Do you like animals? I do, especially animals that are gentle and easy to be around. I find it fascinating how different their behaviour can be, even within the same species. I’m always happy to spend time watching them. (Vocab: behaviour, species | Expression: be fond of)
2\. Did you have a pet as a child? I didn’t have a pet of my own, but I was always curious about animals. I used to enjoy watching neighbourhood cats and dogs and wondering where they went. Having a pet would have been lovely, although it comes with quite a bit of responsibility. (Vocab: companionship, responsibility | Expression: take care of)
3\. Would you like to have a pet? Possibly, provided I had enough time to look after it properly. Pets need attention, exercise and regular care, so I wouldn’t bring one home just because it looked cute. Their well-being has to come first. (Vocab: responsible ownership, daily care | Expression: take something on)
4\. Why do people keep pets? Many people enjoy the companionship and routine that animals bring into their lives. A pet can make a home feel livelier and offer comfort when someone feels lonely. For some owners, the bond becomes as meaningful as a family relationship. (Vocab: companionship, emotional support | Idiom: form a close bond)
PART 1 — TALKING TO STRANGERS
1\. Do you enjoy talking to strangers? It depends on the situation. I’m quite comfortable having a casual conversation when someone seems friendly, especially while waiting somewhere. I’m not the sort of person who starts chatting to absolutely everyone, though. (Vocab: casual conversation, approachable | Idiom: strike up a conversation)
2\. Have you ever talked to a stranger who helped you? Yes, I once asked someone for directions in an unfamiliar area, and they kindly explained the route in detail. They even pointed out a nearby landmark so I wouldn’t miss the turning. It was a small gesture, but I appreciated it. (Vocab: landmark, directions | Idiom: go out of one’s way)
3\. Is it easy to start a conversation with someone new? For some people, it comes naturally, while others need a little time to feel comfortable. I think a simple comment about the situation or a genuine question can break the ice without making things awkward. (Vocab: social confidence, genuine question | Idiom: break the ice)
4\. Should people be careful when talking to strangers? Certainly, especially when sharing personal information or meeting someone online. Being polite doesn’t mean you have to trust everyone immediately. It’s sensible to maintain boundaries while still treating people respectfully. (Vocab: personal information, boundaries | Expression: exercise caution)
PART 2 — CUE CARD 1: DESCRIBE A PLACE YOU WOULD LIKE TO VISIT AGAIN
Today, I’m going to talk about Ooty, a hill station I’d happily visit again. I went there with my family, and what I remember most is how different it felt from our usual surroundings.
The weather was cool, the roads wound through green hills, and there were trees and tea plantations almost everywhere. After spending so much time in a busy city, the slower pace was a real treat.
We spent our time visiting scenic spots, taking photographs and simply enjoying the views. I particularly liked the early mornings, when the air felt fresh and the hills were sometimes covered in mist. There was no need for a packed itinerary; even sitting somewhere with a cup of tea and looking at the scenery felt worthwhile.
What I enjoyed most was the change of atmosphere. Nobody seemed to be in a hurry, and I felt I could finally slow down and breathe properly. Of course, there were a few crowded tourist spots, but that didn’t spoil the experience.
I’d love to go back because I feel there’s still plenty I haven’t explored. Next time, I’d prefer to spend a few extra days there rather than rush from one attraction to another.
For me, the appeal of Ooty is its peaceful setting and natural beauty. It’s the kind of place where you can take a break from your routine and return home feeling refreshed.
(Vocab: hill station, mist-covered hills, scenic viewpoint, peaceful setting | Idioms: a real treat, slow down, take a break from the routine)
PART 2 — CUE CARD 2: DESCRIBE A PERSON YOU RECENTLY MET
Today, I’m going to talk about a woman I met at a small workshop a few weeks ago. We happened to sit next to each other, and what started as a brief conversation turned into a surprisingly interesting chat.
She worked in digital marketing and had travelled to several countries for her job. I’m usually curious about how people end up in different careers, so I asked her how she’d got started. She explained that she’d begun with a fairly ordinary office job but gradually learnt new skills and moved into a field she genuinely enjoyed.
What struck me was how down-to-earth she was. Despite having quite an interesting career, she didn’t come across as someone trying to impress everybody. She spoke openly about mistakes she’d made and opportunities she’d missed, which made the conversation feel very genuine.
We ended up discussing travel, work-life balance and the challenges of learning something new as an adult. I remember being surprised by how quickly the time passed.
We exchanged contact details before leaving, and I’d definitely be happy to meet her again. I’d like to hear more about her experiences and perhaps learn a few things from her career journey.
It was a good reminder that you can meet interesting people in the most ordinary circumstances. Sometimes, all it takes is a little curiosity and a willingness to start a conversation.
(Vocab: down-to-earth, career journey, professional experience, work-life balance | Idioms: strike up a conversation, come across as, time flies)
PART 2 — CUE CARD 3: DESCRIBE A PIECE OF GOOD NEWS YOU RECEIVED
Today, I’m going to talk about a piece of good news I received when I found out that a close family member had secured a job they’d been hoping for.
They’d spent quite a while applying for positions, attending interviews and waiting for responses. It hadn’t been an easy process because there had been a few disappointments along the way. I knew how much the opportunity meant to them, so I was genuinely hoping things would work out.
I remember getting the phone call while I was going about my usual routine. At first, I didn’t quite understand what they were saying because they were so excited. Then they told me they’d received the offer, and I immediately started congratulating them.
What made the news especially meaningful was the effort they’d put in. They’d prepared carefully, improved their skills and kept applying even after setbacks. It felt like all that hard work had finally paid off.
We celebrated by having a meal together, although it was nothing extravagant. The atmosphere was cheerful, and everyone was talking about what this new chapter might bring.
I was happy not only because they’d achieved something important, but also because I’d seen how much the process had tested their patience.
That experience reminded me that good news often feels even better when you know the struggle behind it. It was a genuinely memorable moment for our family.
(Vocab: job offer, perseverance, setback, achievement | Idioms: pay off, a new chapter, keep going despite setbacks)
PART 2 — CUE CARD 4: DESCRIBE A TIME YOU HELPED SOMEONE
Today, I’m going to talk about a time I helped an elderly neighbour who was struggling to carry her shopping bags home.
I was returning from a nearby shop when I noticed her standing beside the pavement with several heavy bags. She looked a little overwhelmed and was trying to adjust the handles so she could carry everything comfortably.
I asked whether she’d like a hand, and she gladly accepted. Her house was only a short walk away, so I carried the heavier bags while she walked beside me. Along the way, we chatted about the weather and the neighbourhood, and she told me she’d bought more than she’d originally planned.
When we reached her house, she thanked me several times and even offered me a drink. I didn’t expect anything in return, so I politely declined and made sure she had everything she needed before heading home.
It wasn’t a major act of kindness, but I felt good about being able to make her day a little easier. I also realised that people don’t always need grand gestures; sometimes, a few minutes of your time can make a real difference.
Since then, I’ve tried to be more observant when I’m out and about. If someone looks as though they could use some help, I’m more willing to offer rather than assume they’ll manage on their own.
(Vocab: lend a hand, elderly neighbour, considerate, small gesture | Idioms: go the extra mile, make a difference, out and about)
PART 3 — THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON SOCIETY
1\. How has technology changed people’s lives? In my view, technology has made everyday life more efficient by simplifying communication, education and access to services. People can now work remotely, learn online and manage many tasks from home. However, excessive reliance on digital devices can reduce face-to-face interaction and raise privacy concerns. (Vocab: efficiency, digital access, privacy concerns | Expression: at the touch of a button)
PART 3 — THE IMPORTANCE OF OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
2\. Why are outdoor activities important? One of the main reasons is that they encourage physical movement while giving people a break from screens and indoor routines. Activities such as walking, cycling or gardening can also support mental well-being. For example, a short walk in a green space may help someone unwind after a stressful day. (Vocab: physical movement, mental well-being, green space | Idiom: blow off steam)
PART 3 — WHY PEOPLE TRAVEL TO NEW PLACES
3\. Why do people enjoy visiting unfamiliar places? Travelling allows people to experience different cultures, food and ways of life. It can broaden their perspective and help them become more independent. For instance, navigating an unfamiliar city can teach someone to solve problems and adapt to unexpected situations. (Vocab: cultural exposure, broaden perspectives, adapt | Idiom: step outside one’s comfort zone)
PART 3 — HOW COMMUNITIES CAN SUPPORT THE ELDERLY
4\. How can communities improve life for older people? Communities can help by providing accessible transport, social activities and practical support with everyday tasks. This is particularly important for older residents who live alone or have limited mobility. For example, local groups could organise regular visits or community events to reduce isolation and help older people remain connected. (Vocab: accessible services, social isolation, mobility, community support | Expression: stay connected)
