CELPIP Speaking Task 4: Making Predictions
Task 4 asks you to predict what may happen next based on a picture. The best answers connect evidence in the image to a likely outcome. Practice with the task timer, then review your recording, transcript, and feedback.
30 seconds prep, 60 seconds response
Image-based CELPIP speaking task
Record, replay, transcript, and feedback
Practice focus
Use prediction language such as “probably,” “might,” and “it looks like.” Then explain which detail in the picture supports your prediction.
Common mistake
A weak answer invents a story with no visual support. Keep the prediction tied to visible clues.
Sample prompt style
A prompt may feel like: “What do you think will happen next in this scene? Explain your reasons.” Use it to practice structure, not to memorize a script.
