In the training session example, Darby Laai practices a sample IELTS task from Part 1 of the test. The English Teacher follows the task prompt, and he waits until the appropriate time to deliver his feedback comment.

English Teacher: Is driving a car popular in your country?
Darby Laai: It certainly is in some parts...however many people in Vancouver prefer to walk, ride their bicycle or take the bus. Oh, is it ok to answer a question like this?
English Teacher: Just stay focused on the task and we will discuss it later. Why?
Darby Laai: You sound like the Straw Lady.
English Teacher: Who?
Darby Laai: Nevermind... I think it is due to the fact that everything is close by in the downtown area, so you don't really need a car you see.
English Teacher: Do you like driving a car?
Darby Laai: Oh let's see....ummm...Absolutely.
English Teacher: Why?
Darby Laai: I think I would have to say the reason is that I really like the car that I drive. I drive a Ferrari you see.
English Teacher: But you drive a...ok...I see. Well then. When was the last time you drove a car?
Darby Laai: I think it must have been last week.
English Teacher: Why?
Darby Laai: Well...I guess it's because I needed to take a trip out to West Vancouver, which is across the bridge and too far to take the bus and too expensive to take a taxi.
English Teacher: Do you prefer driving or being a passenger in the car?
Darby Laai: I like both actually...but if I had to choose one I think I would have to say driving.
English Teacher: Why?
Darby Laai: It's just that I don't like it when other people tell me what to do or where to go when they have no idea what they are talking about.
English Teacher: Thank you. You used a good expression (Absolutely) to answer the yes/no question. It was meaningful. However, focus on fluency here. For example, when you say "Ummm...let's see" before "Absolutely", it sounds unnatural. However, I really liked how you answered the first question with "It certainly is in some parts." Hold on to that and see if you can use it in another task later on in this training session or later on in the course.
