Having more usefulness or effectiveness for everyday needs than another option, considering real-world use rather than theory.
“I think the smaller car is more practical for city driving since parking is so limited.”
“Honestly, the online course seems more practical for someone with a full-time job.”
In Speaking Task 5, you must choose between two options and justify your choice — "more practical" is a strong go-to phrase when comparing everyday usability, like which apartment or gadget suits daily life better. Use it early in your response to signal your preference clearly. Pair it with a specific reason ("because it saves time/space/effort") so the examiner hears concrete justification, not just an opinion.
Synonyms: more functional, more sensible, more useful
