Guided CELPIP Lessons — Learn to Speak & Write Step by Step
If you don't know how to start, the guided lessons are for you. Learn to speak and Learn to write break every task into a beginning, middle and end, so you practise a repeatable structure before doing full timed rounds.
How this task works
Rather than throwing you into a timed task, guided mode teaches the shape of a strong answer — how to open, how to develop, and how to close — for all 8 Speaking tasks and both Writing tasks (email and survey). You master each stage, then put it together.
- Learn to speak
- All 8 Speaking tasks
- Learn to write
- Email + survey tasks
- Method
- Beginning · middle · end

A worked example
Here's a real example of the kind of task and answer you'll practise. On the app, the content is generated fresh each round.
Learn to write — email structure
- Beginning: greet the reader and state your purpose in one line — “I'm writing about the desk I ordered on June 2.”
- Middle: address each bullet from the prompt in its own short paragraph, with concrete detail.
- End: make your request clear and close politely — “Could you let me know by Friday? Thank you.”
Learn to speak — task structure
- Beginning: answer the task directly in your first sentence (the advice, the opinion, the choice).
- Middle: give two reasons or steps with a quick example each.
- End: a short wrap-up line so you don't trail off before the timer.
Tips to score higher
- ✓Master the structure first — a reliable shape frees your attention for language on test day.
- ✓Practise the beginning until it's automatic; a strong opening sets the tone for raters.
- ✓Once the structure feels natural, switch to full timed rounds to build stamina.
- ✓Use the same skeleton every time so nerves don't leave you blank.
