(Narrator):
Hi, this is Ryan Jarvis, the event coordinator for the yearly Squash Festival. As you know this festival is held every year for our local residents. We have people of all ages join us in the festivities. Every year we have children and adults stop by the festival and have a great time.
The festival is also a great opportunity for new members in our community to come out and socialize to make new friends.
Unfortunately, over the past few years we have been very low on attendance. This is causing us to lose a lot of money. Without profits it is hard to continue the festival every year. We have been trying new things to increase attendance, but it hasn’t been so successful.
The Squash Festival is a very historical event in the area and has been held every year for the past 50 years. If we aren’t able to increase attendance, we may lose funding and have to shut down the festival forever. I thought that since you are my director you would be the best person to speak about this problem. I know you have some history in dealing with problems like this and I really want to hear your ideas. Again, this is Ryan Jarvis and you can reach me at 5559321. Thank you and talk to you soon! Bye!
Question 11: Express an opinion
Directions: In this part of the test, you will give your opinion about a specific topic. Be sure to say as much as you can in the time allowed.

Response time: 60 seconds
(Narrator): Some companies prefer to hire experienced workers to increase productivity rather than young and inexperienced workers. Which do you prefer and why?
Use specific reasons or examples to support your opinion.
