I wish I got a similar question when I did the test. My question was : Talk about famous piece of art or work. I was really stuck, as I didn`t know about any piece of art in detail. So, I just spent all of my time trying to rememebr what I know about art in my head :). I coudn`t utter a word. This is not fair, not everyone, even native english speakers can talk about piece of art in detail given the 90 seconds time.

Well, singing is one of my favorite things to do and it has become a part of my daily life, with singing I found myself fully alive, and it helps me to release stress. However, there is another activity which I enjoyed the most lately, Traveling to new places, it's so delightful. Regarding to the next question, I have been traveling and discover new places for almost 6 years. The first time was when I visited Japan for honeymoon. since then I always waiting the vacation day (summer or winter holiday) with super excited. I often spend travelling with my husband or my best friend 'olga' she has a same hobby like me, so the trip will be extremely attractive with her by my side. As for the last question, in my point of view Travelling is important to me, it's hugely essential because I could discover new culture, lifestyle, language, and the best part is collecting memories.❤️

I have a lot of hobbies but among them, cooking is the most fascinating. I've been into cooking for as long as I remember. When I was a child, my mom used to teach me how to cook. She always told me that cooking is a crucial life skill. I usually cook food on the weekends for my family. Sometimes, I help my mom. I love cooking because it gives me a sense of independence and responsibility. When I cook for myself, I have full control over the ingredients, so I know exactly what I'm eating which is really satisfactory. Despite satisfaction, cooking for myself also helps me manage my diet and keep me healthy.

So a hobby or activity that I enjoy, which is very interesting for me, was playing guitar. My father gives me a guitar when I was in junior high school. Then, I started to learn how to play guitar since that. So it has been 6 or 7 years since I playing guitar. I usually play guitar with my father because he is my teacher, but most of the time, I played with myself because my father does not live with me. He works in another city. But sometimes, I play guitar at my school for my art lesson. Finally, playing guitar is important because I can relax my mind and release all the stress in my life.

One of my favorite hobbies or activities is watching movies or television. I've been doing it for more than 15 years. To tell you a bit about that, when I was a teenager I used to watch movies a lot and now I am still watching it. Turning to the next question, I prefer to watch some movies with my wife because she is a kind of couch potato. Besides, she prepares some things to eat, such as some snakes, chips, and others before starting the movie. Watching TV or some movies are so useful for me because from my point of view, by doing it I can chill out then that is very enjoyable for me.

Having engaged myself different activities when growing up, the one that really inspired was football because my parent supported me. In addition, I aspired to a career in playing football even though when I grew much older, the love for football and gaming left. I have been playing football now for 12 years. Although I had a break when I was 16 as I had to focus on my academics and stay longer in school but as soon as I left school, I picked it up again and started. Turning to the next question, I play football with my brother who is currently aspiring to a career in footballing. I sometimes play football with my friends and home. The reason it's important to me is because I had every single opportunity to expand my knowledge of football when I was growing up. Also, I had teachers who thought and mentored me in it. Lastly, football is the major game we value in my country.

[@acanpham3247]

Well, there is no denying that football is one of the most common sports in my country. That is the reason why I am a person, who is a big fan of football, I follow my favourite team's football tournaments and support them enthusiastically by buying souvenirs and jerseys. I first watched a FC Barca match in 2010 and it led to my love and passion for football. Moreover, Messi is the GOAT in the football industry and is known as the Greatest of all time football player. I have fallen in love with his magic over 10 years. Not only that, but I also participate in small football matches with my friend, and we have 2 teams in the matches with 5 individuals in each team. Finally, I'm really health-conscious, so I tend to play soccer to stay in shape, release stress, and expand my social network due to the games

[@manojsihag123]

My hobby I enjoy is watching my favorite movies or dramas on KZbin or Netflix. Especially I love searching and watching the behind scenes of them. I am not sure when I started doing that and found that fun so I cannot answer the next question but I have been doing that for a few years. Turning to the next question, I do that alone because I would like to do that in my free time. Without doing that, I would not feel better when I feel frustrated. That makes me feel better. That is why it is important to me.

[@mariajosegomez5091]

A hobby that I personally enjoy and also find interesting is singing. In my opinion, singing is the best hobby that I could've ever find.

Sometimes, I like to write songs and then I just try to make something out of it. Turning to the next question, I always sing with my dad and brother, even though my brother does not sing at all, he tries his best. Finally, as for question 4, singing is so important to me because it is what makes me feel alive. I just, every time I sing I feel so much joy and bliss.

There's only one hobby that I can think of right now, and it is watching series specifically the Korean dramas. I started to love and enjoy watching series since I was in College and as the time goes by it becomes my hobby. As for the third question, most of the time I prefer to watch it alone because it is the only time where I can isolate myself from others while just resting in my bed. This is very important to me because as I said this is the only time where I can be alone where I can think and relax properly and also forget the problems I've enduring even it is just a temporary but still a great help for me.

My hobby is to do blogging about the oil and gas industry for university students and graduates for their career development. Moving on question two, I have been doing this since 2012 as a volunteer at Caspian Engineers Society. In recent years we have expanded our relations between oil and gas companies for future activities. Turning to the next question I work with a great team, which each of us has a different position in CES, so while working with students we have not any difficulties answering their questions. As for the last question, I would like to mention that most of the students suffer from a lack of information about this industry to find such as internships, social activities, scholarships, etc. Thus, we invite specialists from this field and present seminars, live webinars even organize field trips to the oil and gas companies for getting deeper knowledge and information related to this industry.

I really enjoy listening to music, It’s by far my favorite pass time activity. Although I can’t sing or produce music myself I really appreciate the art form. I listen to a variety of genres although I’ll say my favorite is Hip-hop due to the fact that my favorite artist is Kanye West. I’ve been listening to music for as long as I can remember, my mum told me when I was little I used to say that my dream house would have a lot of speakers and as I’m getting older this is slowly becoming my reality. Moving to the next question, I usually listen alone or with friends and sometimes with strangers and fans alike at festivals or concerts, I enjoy being in the company of music lovers too and discuss topics around our favorite artists and genres. Lastly this activity is important to me as it helps me relax and also enhances my creativity in other activities, understanding how songs are structured helps me in my own work which is design. I also believe music as a form of expression helps me release tensions I couldn’t have worded myself if it wasn’t said in a song.

One of the activity that I enjoy is writing songs. I've been writing since 2017, when i was still 16 years old until now. It has been four years since I wrote my my first song. As for the question three, most of the times, I write the songs in a room alone, all by myself. But, sometimes I ask my mother or my older sister to help me find the guitar chords; other times I discuss the demo song with my close friends and ask their opinions about it. Lastly, writing songs is important for me because I love listen to the story in songs, and I want to hear my own story being told in a song.

I read books in my leisure times. I'm fond of classic novels including modern classics. I started off as a comic reader when I was five. Gradually, I became avid reader and developed a taste for classic literature. Turning to the next question, I prefer to be all by myself which helps me in better understanding of the book. I'm a part of a book club as well where we choose one book and discuss it on weekly basis. In my opinion, reading book has therapeutic effect on me and helps me in understanding the world at large.

[@julierodriguez8665]

Follow, my answer about the topic. I appreciate your feedback: The hobby or activity that I really enjoy is a sport that is well know around the world; swimming. Firstly, it is more that a simple activity, because it is used in many ways; as a high performance sport, as a phsical therapy, as an enterteiment option, etc, it has many uses. Secondly, I have been doing it for more than three years ago. It was so curious because when I was deciding where going for my vacations, I was thinking to do something different that go to the beach or visit any natural park, so I think I took the best desition choising this sport. Well, moving on the question three about who I do it with, generally I practice swimming alone, the reason why is because I feel more comfortable and I get more concentration about what I'm doing. Finally, practice swimming more that be an activity or hobbie, as far as I´m concerned, it has been a huge opportunity to throught out the stress, worries about my job and my personal life, It is for me a form of leave all my thoughts aside and to meet with myself.

The hobby I enjoy most is drawing sketches. I usually draw sketches of people and animals in my free time. For the second question, I have been drawing sketches for over 6 months now. Because drawing takes time and patience, I try to spend 20 minutes a day to draw. For the third question, I always draw alone because I want to have a quality time alone. Drawing alone makes me feel peaceful. I also want to focus on drawing only whenever I draw. So it is best for me to draw without any company. Turning to the final question, drawing is important for me because I usually spend my time with a lot of people. I spend most of my time with my friends and my family. Although it is good to spend time with the people I love, I want to relax and take time contemplating myself at the end of the day. Drawing can recharge my depleted energy after a long day. Thus, I try to draw everyday.

I have a number of hobbies such as reading books, writing essays, playing football and cricket. To begin with, the hobby that I enjoy most is doing physical exercise in the morning. It involves the number of activities such as running, jumping, climbing trees, yoga and making sprints. Secondly, I have been doing this physical exercises from pervious four months. This is because I realized to lose the weight that was around ninety kilogram. Now, I reduced it to sixty kilograms. Thirdly, I am doing it my fellows at the university. We all wake up early in the morning and go to the sports grounds after prayer. Than we all start doing all of the exercises one by one. Finally, it is very important to me because to help me in keeping my mind active and lose my extra fats that I gain during the meal.

I enjoy watching series, such as Anne with an e and The protector. Turning to the next question, I have been watching the series since I started studying English for about 2 years. I normally watch the series alone or with some friends, but most of the time I do that by myself. Finally, It is important to me because I can improve my English. For example, I watch it three times, the first time with my language subtitle, the second time with English subtitle and the third time without subtitle. I believe trough that i can get more vocabulary. However, sometimes it is not healthy for me because I spend my weekends like a couch potato, sitting around and watching too much TV. Thank you

A hobby that I certainly love to do and makes me feel better is writing. I generally go through poetry, fictional stories, and whatever I am inspired to write. Secondly, I have been doing it for four years since I started to see that it was a talent I should pursue. Moving on to question three, I do it by myself, but sometimes I try to create stories or poems with my friends. At the same time, it is possible to tell your deepest love feelings to someone you are in love with or create a fictional story that transports you to another world. Finally, I see the act of writing as something that allows you to show who you are through words and is one of the most incredible ways to speak without saying a word.

Y'all better pay attention to Teacher Luke's lessons because I went through some of his lessons in one day and took my DET the next day and I scored 140. I was very surprised. Before stumbling on his videos, I was getting 105, 110 and a day after going through just 5 of his videos, taking some exercises/tasks that he puts on the screen, I went in for the test still nervous and bam! 140💥💥 Thanks, Teacher Luke.

A hobby that I really enjoy is reading books, especially in the true crime genre, which I buy every month or whenever there is a promotion at the bookstore. I have a million of them and I must say it now feels like a collection. I have been doing this for four years and I started when I saw a true crime video on KZbin. The woman talking about the crime recommended a book related to the crime she was talking and also shared the name of the publisher that sells this particular book and other similar books. After thay day I started reading books about true crime, one after another, without taking a break. Moving on to the next question, I do this hooby by myself, I always read alone, but sometimes I share what I think with my boyfriend and tell him my opinion about the crime, what I think is worst about the criminals, how I analyze the positions of the police, this kind of thing. Finally, for the last question, this hooby is important to me because it is my time alone, which I use to learn about crimes that really happened and even though they are scarey and disgusting, I can prepare myself for the real world and all the horrible things that exist in it.

Cycling is my favorite hobby. I practice two times a week in different parks in my City. I have been riding a bike for five years that I have loved each time when a practice because I can live different good feelings and memories. My partner in this practice is my husband also is his passion. Even though he has more experience than me, I like it. I am learning a lot from his tips in our moments. In my own experience, riding a bike was my best choice of all sports because I have had lots of benefits, such as a healthy lifestyle, spare time with my husband and we can see different and wonderful views of the environment. I could add that cycling is very cool and amazing to enjoy it.

It's not easy to talk about something that you're not sure of, he asked me about my favorite book, what if I don't have a favorite book in my mind! It's very hard to answer these questions, especially when we are lying, we'll be stuck somewhere. I'll prefer if they ask in several options, like Your favorite place Your favorite gift Your best friend Your favorite subject Choose any of the following and answer about it! Or they should consider some blabbling. Of course, some of us may not have been through some of those questions!

My favorite hobby is to be a runner, I have been doing it for 3 years with my best friend. We run everyday in the morning 8 kms in 45 min. At the beginning when I started the training was so difficult because I did not have the confidence, endurance, strength and tempo that I have today. I hope to compete in a Marathon soon. Moving on to the last question, in my personal experience I consider this workout beneficial because it helps me to be in a good shape, left the stress behind, ease the anxiety and most important be happy and a healthy heart.

Actually I have many hobbies some of them are playing tennis, playing the piano and baking but, the activity I enjoy the most is watching anime.Watching anime is the thing I enjoy the most because I always feel entertained and amazed by the great animation it has. Moving on to next question, I have been doing this by something about 8 years since I was introduced to it by a great friend of mine that also love this activity, also, I do this activity most of the time by myself since I don't know many people that like it, but when I am with my friends we watch it together. This activity is important to me, because it makes me feel really excited which is important because I am always trying to find ways to enjoy time by myself, and for sure I can say that watching anime is the activity makes me enjoy time with me. Also, I will like to add that one of the first animes that I watch was Full Metal Alchemist, which is a master piece.

I like playing with pets. I consider it my hobby as it makes me feel better. From the childhood I was into animals. I used to recuse animals from the street. There are alot of stray animals wandering in my country. My family also love pets. I have three persian cats. My parents also take great care of my pets. It is so important for me because it is my passion. I wanted to open a shelter home to expand my hobby. I want to take care of all abandoned and sick animals. It gives me satisfaction.

Nowadays, a hobby plays a crucial role in the well-being of humans, it mainly a hobby of doing the activity at outside such as; jog, play football and golf. I am deeply passionate of jog in the park after office and on weekends. The first time I have been jogging in 2019 when I moved to Kuala Lumpur for being an expatriate to work in business consulting. Turning to the next question, I always do the jog at the park after office at 5pm, it conducts frequently from Monday until Friday. On the other hand, the jog is a healthy lifestyle for workers that have pressure about the job all of the time. One of the most prominent about jog, this activity leads to the well - being that prevent to mental illness for instance; depression or stress about the job, attention to the detail about the jog, when doing this activity the circulation of the blood in the brain could make it clear.

@@misterjay6984 Yea Sure, so before starting the test I took the practice test at least 4-5 times and took the exam after that. The questions were not that hard but it was a little bit challenging when I got into the speaking part because you have to see the question (picture) to talk about it more deeply for at least 1-5 minutes describing what is on the picture and the second question that I found hard during that time was the typing question, it is the same as the first question but on this one, you have to see the picture and type a paragraph describing it. The thing I would tell you is just to watch some videos on YT and take the practice test a few more times and you're good to go!! Good Luck with your test:)

Firstly, I like to do lot of activities like gyming, camping, trekking , browsing on the internet, etc. But I like to do trekking the most. Moving to the next question , I’ve been doing this from past 10 years. It all started back when I was into National Cadet Crops during my school days. Turning to the next step, Generally I like to do trekking with my friends but at times I also like solo backpacking; it gives you opportunity to travel independently with no restrictions at all. Finally, trekking is a very important part of my life because it helps me rejuvenating and live life stress free. Due the current situation in the world and hectic work life , trekking is the best way for recreation purpose. Indirectly you will also burn a lot of calories, fats and that too with out spending much money. So to conclude this; trekking is one the best overall package one can experience in terms of health, money , etc.

One of my favorite hobbies is cooking Italian food which I like the most since Italian food is prepared faster than traditional food in my country. When I went to college, I had to cook for myself, so I've been cooking since I was 18. Usually, I do it alone but sometimes my mom helps me to cook better food. Turning to the last question, when I do not have the mood to do anything, cooking refreshes me and gives me the energy to do the rest of my works. That's why cooking is important to me.

Absolutely better than TOEFL and IELTS, but the time for answering is so fast. All English proficiency tests are based on timing and quick reaction and it is not based on human behavioural diversity. There are plenty of the people who are not able to answer the questions in less than 1 min or 2 min but they can propose the best solutions for the hard answers. These type of smart people have been deprived of admitting in the universities for long periods or permanently !!! IS THAT RACE? WE ARE NOT HORSE! We are human with the different abilities in different tasks.

Hello! I have a question regarding the duolingo english test. Are the speaking cue cards which are given on the practice tests similiar to those on the real tests? I don't know how to start preparing myself. My english is not that bad, but for an example, If I had to talk about a certain book, I wouldn't know what to talk about, because I'm not a big fan of books and speaking in detail for one would be a challenge for me. Any advice?

[@TeacherLuke-DET]

Hey Natali, Yes they are similar in style, but there are a lot of different topics on the real test so it's hard to prepare for everything. If you have no idea, you've just got to make something up and run with it. :)
