Advanced speaking practice

A twenty-five-minute speaking workout in three parts: retell a short narrative you have heard, read two passages aloud, and argue a position on two open topics. At this level fluency is assumed and what is being built is shape — a retelling that keeps the point, a reading that respects the punctuation, an argument that does not collapse after the first sentence. Every prompt is original HSK Guide material. This is not an official paper, the timings are HSK Guide’s own practice settings, and each model answer is one good version among many.

Unofficial practice material

This is unofficial practice material written for HSK Guide. It is not a past paper and is not endorsed by any examination authority.The section lengths, the timings and the scoring below are HSK Guide’s own practice settings, chosen so that a wrong answer points at one identifiable skill. They do not describe any examination authority’s rules — confirm those with your test centre.

Sections

What the paper contains

3 sections, 7 questions, 25 minutes of section time.

Part 1 — Listen and retell
Speaking10 minutes3 questions3 total score
You will hear three short narratives. In this practice section each one plays once; then retell it in your own words. You are not asked to reproduce the wording — you are asked to keep the thread: who, what happened, and what the story turns on. Take notes while listening, but write down the turning point rather than the first sentence.
Audio rules for this section
- 1 play remaining
- Seeking is disabled in examination mode
- Pausing is disabled
Part 2 — Read aloud
Speaking5 minutes2 questions2 total score
Two short passages. Read each one aloud at a natural pace. Reading well is not reading fast: group the words into phrases, breathe at the commas, and let the semicolon or the dash do its work. Where a passage sets up a contrast, the voice should mark it before the listener reaches the word that states it.
Part 3 — Respond to a topic
Speaking10 minutes2 questions2 total score
Two topics, each stating a view that not everyone shares. Speak for about two minutes on each: state your position, give two reasons that are genuinely different from one another, answer the strongest objection, and close. Taking a side is not compulsory — a well-argued "both are partly right" is a position too, provided you say why. What does not count as an answer is repeating the topic in other words.

Questions, options and answers are not shown on this page — the paper is only meaningful if you meet it for the first time inside the timer.

Before you start

Timing, audio and how the run is protected

Timed

The timer runs on the server, so refreshing will not give you extra time. Listening audio plays a fixed number of times, as set for this practice paper.

Total: 25 minutes.

Learning mode

No timer. Audio can be replayed freely and answers are explained immediately.

Audio

Part 1 — Listen and retell: plays once · no seeking · no pausing

The play count and the seek and pause rules are stored on each section rather than hard-coded in the player, so an editor can change them without a deployment.

Saved

Answers autosave as you go — a refresh or a dropped connection loses nothing.
The deadline lives on the server, so the client clock is never trusted.
You can flag a question and come back to it while section time remains.

Your result

What you get when you submit

A score is the least useful part of a mock examination. The report is built to change what you study tomorrow.

By section

A score per section and per skill, so a listening problem cannot hide behind a good reading result.

Accuracy by question type

Accuracy broken down by question type — matching, cloze, ordering, true/false — because they fail for different reasons.

Vocabulary gaps

The exact words the wrong answers tested, taken from the diagnostic tags on each question.

Grammar gaps

The patterns behind the wrong answers, each linking straight to its grammar lesson.

Time per question

Where you stalled. A slow correct answer is a different problem from a fast wrong one.

Readiness estimate

An estimate against your target level, built from coverage, recall strength and recent results.
