TYPE 3
KIND OF / TYPES OF QUESTION
This is used for the questions that includes “types of”, “kinds of”. Remember the examiner doesn’t actually like to know about the kinds or types. They do evaluation on what language you are using to tell them.
1. We shouldn’t just list out all the kinds, we have to emphasize on one or two types.
2. First, we give our opinion, then we illustrate our point with examples or explanations.
Example: Tell me about the different types of public transport in your city?
Sample: There are many kinds of transportation in my city, for example, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, taxis, and cars. I think motorcycles are the most popular used in my city. Whereas, buses are the least used.
