Sample Answer
Looking at the visible clues, I can make a few confident predictions about what happens next. The most immediate is that overflowing beaker — the foam is already rising above the rim, so it's about to spill into the tray, and the startled student reaching for it will almost certainly shout for the teacher. A second, more worrying possibility is the student carrying the rack of test tubes: he's walking straight toward a backpack in the aisle without seeing it, so I'd predict he trips, and if he drops those tubes, it becomes a genuine safety hazard. And because the vice-principal is just entering and fixing his gaze on the two students sharing a single pair of goggles, I expect he'll cross the room and firmly remind them about proper lab safety. All together, the scene is one heartbeat away from turning chaotic, but the teacher and vice-principal will likely intervene before anything serious happens.
Why Practice Making Predictions Questions?
Task 4 uses the same style of picture as Task 3, but now you predict what will happen next. Strong responses make two or three predictions and, crucially, ground each one in a visible clue, “because the beaker is overflowing, the student will…”
Future forms carry this task: will, is going to, and probably/likely. Practising a range of scenes trains you to spot the clues quickly and to justify predictions rather than simply listing them.
When you are ready for the full experience, take a complete speaking mock test under exam timing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CELPIP Making Predictions speaking practice.
How many predictions should I make?
Two or three well-explained predictions are ideal. For each, name what will happen and point to the visual clue that makes it likely, justification is what raises the score.
Which grammar signals a prediction clearly?
Use future forms, “will,” “is going to”, softened with “probably,” “likely,” or “I expect,” which show you are reasoning rather than stating certainties.
Can I practice CELPIP speaking for free?
