I am glad to introduce our brand new CELPIP speaking templates! We need these since, after a few years, examiners start to see a pattern but if the new ones are included in your training, it will drastically help make you unique and get you a great mark in CELPIP Speaking!
We have tried these templates in some of our recent exams and students have been scoring extremely well!

This will drastically help make you unique and get you a great mark.
Here they are:
