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 shouldbuy a new car.”
This English is much more natural sounding and more appropriate to the task.
