    FCE SPEAKING

    PART 1: PERSONAL INFORMATION


    (3 minutes approx)

    The interlocutor will begin by asking each of you one or two personal questions:

    Example Questions:

    • Where are you from?

    • Tell me something about your family.

    • What did you enjoy most when you were at primary school?

    • Do you have any plans for a holiday this year?

    • Do you play any musical instruments?

    PART 2: LONG TURN


    (3 minutes approx)

    The interlocutor gives Speaker 1 a set of three photographs and asks Speaker 1 to talk
    about TWO of the photographs for one minute. Then the interlocutor asks Speaker 2
    about the photographs and Speaker 2 responds for 30 seconds.

    Then the process switches - The interlocutor gives Speaker 2 a set of three photographs
    and asks Speaker 2 to talk about TWO of the photographs for one minute. Then the
    interlocutor asks Speaker 1 about the photographs and Speaker 1 responds for 30
    seconds.

    PART 3: COLLABORATIVE TASK

    (4 minutes approx)

    In this part of the test you and your partner will talk together. The interlocutor will place a
    new set of pictures on the table between you for you to discuss together.

    1. Be prepared to ask your partner for his or her opinion rather than simply stating your
    own. For example: 'What do you think?' 'How about you?' 'Do you think ...?'

    2. Listen carefully to what your partner says and respond to comments he or she makes
    to help the discussion flow. For example: 'Do/Have/Are you?' 'Don't/Haven't/Aren't you?'
    'Do you think so? 'Really?'

    3. If you disagree try expressing this politely. For example: 'I see what you mean but ...' 'I
    can see your point but ...' 'But don't you think ...'

    4. Use expressions to allow yourself time to think. For example: 'That's a good question.'
    'Well, let me think ...' 'It's difficult to say …'

    PART 4: DISCUSSION

    (4 minutes approx)

    In this final part, the interlocutor will ask you some further questions related to the
    photographs you discussed in Part 3. You will be giving your opinion and commenting on
    your partner’s opinion.
