Is CELPIP Speaking Task 4 the same picture as Task 3?
Yes. Paragon's official study pack defines Task 4 as looking at "the same illustration from Task 3". Bank a few unused details while you are describing it in Task 3 and use them here.
What if my prediction is wrong?
There is no correct prediction. The scene is imaginary. What is required officially is that your predictions be realistic and connected to what the people in the picture are doing.
What tense should I use in CELPIP Speaking Task 4?
Future forms, and deliberately more than one: "will", "is going to", "is about to", "is likely to", plus hedges like "probably" and "I imagine". Range is part of the score.
Can I just describe the picture again?
No. Description was Task 3. This task is scored on what happens next, so anything already visible in the image earns nothing.
How many predictions should I make?
Typically two or three, each with a reason and a likely consequence. The official rater note on the sample response was that the ideas needed developing with examples, not that there were too few of them.
How long is CELPIP Speaking Task 4?
30 seconds to prepare, 60 seconds to speak.
