Practice prompt

Try the question before reading the model

Your friend wants to start a part-time course while working full time. Give your friend advice.

Response plan

Acknowledge → recommendation 1 + reason → recommendation 2 + reason → supportive close

Original sample answer

If I were in your position, I would first check how many hours the course requires each week before registering. Working full time already takes a lot of energy, so choosing one or two evening classes would probably be more realistic than taking a heavy course load. I would also speak with your supervisor to see whether your schedule can be adjusted on class days. Most importantly, leave at least one evening free for rest and assignments. The course could be a great investment in your career, but it will be much easier to finish if the schedule is sustainable from the beginning.

What to learn from this sample

Structure

Notice the order of ideas and how each sentence moves the response toward the task goal.

Development

Look for reasons, consequences, examples and concrete details rather than repeated claims.

Vocabulary

Study precise language in context, then replace it with vocabulary that fits your own fresh prompt.

Task completion

Check whether every part of the prompt is answered directly and with an appropriate tone.

The next step is a fresh response

A sample only helps if the organization transfers to a different topic. Open a fresh MyCELPIP task, answer without looking at the model, then compare your structure and development.
