Speaking Test Part 2:

Model Answer:

The first thing that comes to mind is my first car, which I bought second-hand in 2014. I had a new job which was quite far away from my home so I needed a reliable car to commute to work. After narrowing down my options I decided on a Toyota Corolla, and then began looking for one for sale that was in good condition and had low mileage. I shopped around for several weeks, to make sure I wasn’t ripped off.

When I was saving up for it, I really had to tighten my belt and cut back on spending on nights out, clothes and other luxuries. I also needed to take out a loan as I couldn’t afford it with just my savings. I could have bought the car on finance too, but the interest rate was slightly higher than for the loan.

I remember that I was totally thrilled when I picked up the car. I got a pretty good deal, and it was in excellent condition. I remember feeling fantastic as I was driving it home. The car turned out to be really good value for money and never broke down all the time I had it.
