Part 1 (3 minutes)

Examiner: I’m going to ask you some questions about yourself and your ideas.

*The examiner can ask you from 3 to 5 questions depending on the length of your answer. Keep talking until they tell you to stop or calculate your answer to be around 30 seconds. The questions will not be displayed on the screen. You will not see the timer on the screen, so time management is intuitive.

Literature: If you were a teacher, how would you encourage your pupils to read?

The environment: What would you propose in order to curtail pollution in your town?

…………………………………………………………………………………….

Travel: Do you think we travel too much nowadays?

*Approximately two turns each. Interact with the examiner and ask them questions.

1) We’re old friends. ‘Wow! Look at you! What has been going on with your life lately?’ I start.

2) I’m a sales assistant. You have had a problem with a product you bought recently. You start.

Part 3 (4 minutes)

Apparently, there are two ways in which you could be asked to do this task. The first one is to pick 3 bubbles and speak about them; the second one is to debate about some of the bubbles with the proctor, agreeing and disagreeing. Let’s practise both ways.

You have 20 seconds in which to look at this part and think about what to say.

Part 4 (5 minutes including follow-up questions)

Examiner: In Part Four you are going to talk about something for two minutes. Your topic is leisure time during Covid-19. You have 30 seconds to write some notes to help you.

Speak about leisure time during Covid-19 for 2 minutes.
