This is an ELISE speaking simulation test.
This is self practice test nine.
Let's go ahead and get started right now.
So first of all, you can see here we have 12 sets of instructions.
These instructions are really, really important.
Now if you've seen them before from the previous self practice test, you can go ahead and skip forward.
However, if you have not read the instructions, pause right here and review the instructions so you
know exactly how to do this self assessment test.
This cell practice test is for your benefit to help you get better for the exam.
By doing this cell practice test, you're going to become more comfortable with the types of questions
that you're going to see in parts one, two and three.
So let's go ahead and get started with part one.
Part one.
Make sure that you cover your screen so that you cannot see the questions on the real exam.
You cannot see the questions.
So please cover your screen with a manila folder or a piece of colored paper.

I will ask a question.
Pause for 5 seconds and then ask the next question.
Of course, you cannot respond in 5 seconds, so please press the spacebar, pause the video, give
your great response, and then press the spacebar to restart the video and hear the next question.
That's how we're going to do it again.
Be realistic and simulate the test.
