Last Monday we had the use of English and writing parts of the exam and tomorrow Wednesday we'll do the speaking part. This post is to give an idea of how the speaking part is going to be providing some tips of how to address the topic.
Sample task
Monologue (2-3 minutes):
Monologue (2-3 minutes):
Watching reality TV is a waste of time.
State whether you agree or disagree.
Compare reality TV with other programmes
Discuss reasons why people like it
Dialogue (3-4 minutes):
Your partner and you would like to rent a place to live. You would like to live in a flat whereas your partner would like to live in a house.
Explain why you prefer to live in a flat.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of one and the other.
Decide what type of home you are going to rent
Tips
Monologue: use structures to agree or disagree and give reasons and examples that support your opinion. Use comparative and superlative structures to compare various elements. Make hypothesis using first and second conditional, and modal verbs.
Dialogue: use structures to talk about your preferences (I’d rather, prefer, don’t mind…). Use discussion language, make suggestions, give examples, provide different points of view, soften your opinions. Make a decision, agree and disagree.
