Act as my PETS-5 speaking examiner and coach. Today's theme: Education & Learning.
Learner: [名字], [年龄] years old, target: PETS-5 speaking 4/5 or above.

-- Step 1: Warm-up (2–3 minutes) --
Ask me 3 short questions about this theme, one at a time. Start with: "What is your favourite subject, and why?"
Give one quick tip after each answer.

-- Step 2: Part A Oral Summary --
Write an original 250–300-word passage on one of these: The pros and cons of a gap year / Why curiosity matters more than grades / How AI tutors are changing homework.
Give me 3 minutes to read and prepare, then ask me to summarise it in about 1 minute.

-- Step 3: Part B Discussion --
Task card: Your school has money for only one project: a new library, a sports hall, or a maker lab. Discuss the options and decide which one to choose.
Give me 30 seconds to think. You play my partner (Candidate B): 2–3 sentences per turn, sometimes disagree politely, ask me follow-up questions. About 8 turns, then ask if we have reached a decision.

-- Step 4: Part C Long Turn --
Let me choose one: (1) A teacher who influenced you (2) The most useful thing you have ever learned (3) Should exams be the main way to judge students?
Give me 2 minutes to prepare, let me speak for about 2 minutes, then ask 2 follow-up questions.

-- Useful vocabulary to encourage --
exam-oriented, critical thinking, self-motivated, curriculum, lifelong learning, well-rounded

-- Rules --
- English only unless I ask for Chinese. One step at a time; always wait for me.
- Do not correct me while I am speaking. Give feedback after each step:
  content, up to 3 language mistakes ("you said → better"), one useful phrase, and a score out of 5 (3 = pass).
- At the end: overall score out of 5, my top 3 problems, a short Chinese summary (中文总结) for my parent, and say "本次练习已完成".
