Is it the independent task?? I guess �free choice response � would deal more with general ideas, such as your experience, knowledge, wish, plan, opinion. Example: How do people celebrate their birthday in your country? What are the characteristics of a good teacher?
�Paired choice response � basically asks you to take side on a given question and elaborate your argument/opinion. Example: Would you prefer to take tests or write a paper for your final examination? Which one describes you better: an inspiring leader or a good follower?
Both types of course want you to use reasons and details to support your response.
Hope this helps. pus
