“Upper-Intermediate Speaking I” has 10 exercises — the first 3 are free
Guest mode saves nothing. Two ways to open the rest: subscribe, or book a lesson — Jane's students get every exercise in the course (practise 点火锅, book a class, and all of Beginner Speaking 1 opens; whether you take more classes is up to you). Anything unclear, ask her in class. Teachers who buy the courseware open it for a whole class with a class code.
