3. A QUICK GUIDE TO THE SPEAKING TEST

You and another student will sit in front of two examiners. One of the examiners will talk to you and the other one will take notes. (Cambridge call these people the interlocutor and the assessor but let's only make reference to the one who asks you questions, and I will call that person 'the examiner'.) (NOTE - the last group of the day can have 3 students, so it's a good idea to practice that situation.) There are 4 sections with different things to do in each section.

1. WHO TALKS?

Cambridge B2 First Speaking Test Part 1

The examiner asks you a question. You reply to the examiner. You don't have to talk to your partner in this part of the exam. It will take about 2 minutes. Cambridge want to help you relax in the test so they start with some nice, easy questions. Don't worry if you get off to a bad start - a lot of candidates start badly because they are nervous

Cambridge B2 First Speaking Test Part 1

Questions are normally on these topics:

• Your hobbies
• Your work or education
• Things you like and things you don't like
• Friends and family
• Holidays
• Sports
• Future plans

4. USE THE GRAMMAR OF THE QUESTION IN YOUR ANSWER

Here's a silly mistake: Do you enjoy cooking? Yes, I enjoy to cook. Why not use the same grammar as the question in your answer? Do you enjoy cooking? Yes, I enjoy cooking. Here's another example: Are you going to go on holiday this year? Yes, I'm going to go to Mexico. It's going to be my first time. You don't always have to do this - English is quite flexible. But for now, this method will help you avoid mistakes.

5. DON'T BE A ROBOT

In FCE, you shouldn't speak like a robot. So don't write down answers to questions and memorise them. Instead, learn a few keywords and speak naturally, like you would do in your own language.

6. WHAT ARE SOME GOOD KEYWORDS?

What is your job? Oh! How to say it in English? The first keyword you should learn is the name of your own job! Don't you think?! What is your job? I'm an architect. Then learn the jobs of your parents, boyfriend, best friend etc. My mother's a retired teacher. My father's an archeologist. My boyfriend is a luthier.

6. WHAT ARE SOME GOOD KEYWORDS?

You should definitely learn some nice phrases about hobbies. For example, the phrase 'to be keen on' means 'to like'. What are your hobbies? I'm keen on gardening. How about holidays? In the FCE exam you should know the difference between 'travel', 'cruise', and 'flight' - you could easily use these words if asked about holidays. What sort of holidays do you like? I'm actually not too keen on travel, and I really hate flights. I like cruises, though. That's my favourite. Get the idea? As I said before, you're not learning whole speeches, just a few words you can use at the right time.

7. HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU SAY?

It's okay to give short answers here, but I don't let my students say 'yes' or 'no'. Your answer shouldn't be shorter than the question! Here are some GOOD examples: 'Where are you from, Victoria?' 'I'm from Germany, from the north coast of Germany." And: "And Edward?" "I'm from Peru. I live in the capital, Lima. It's near the coast." If you watched the video above, you'll hear Victoria tries to keep talking after saying 'the north coast of Germany'. The examiner stops her - that was TOO much detail. So answer the question in a simple way, then add ONE extra sentence.

8. HOW TO PRACTICE

• You can practice this with another student (or a friend who speaks some English well enough to reply to your conversation)
• If you're alone, record yourself using your phone. If you've got a 'study buddy' ask permission to film. Not enough of my students do this, but the ones that do say it's VERY helpful. You will notice mistakes and you will be able to ask yourself questions like 'Did I answer the question? Did I sound like a robot?'
• To write their own questions and then "interview yourself"

FCE Speaking Test: Part 2 (Long Turn)Part 2 of the FCE Speaking test lasts between 4 minutes (6 minutes for groups of three). The examiner gives you two photographs and your partner a different pair of photographs. You have to speak about your two photos without interruption for about 1 minute and also answer a question about your partner’s photographs when he or she has finished their long turn.

Cambridge B2 First Speaking Test Part 2(It's easy when you know how.)

Overview

• Part two of the Cambridge B2 First (FCE) Speaking test is called the 'Long Turn' because you and student B take turns to give long speeches. You get two colour photos. You have to talk about them on your own for a minute. When you finish, the examiner asks the other student (student B) a question about your photos - student B should talk for about 30 seconds.
• Then student B gets two photos and has to talk about them for one minute. When that is over, the examiner asks you a question, and now you have about 30 seconds to answer

More Detail: Part 2

The photos are always different but the process is always the same. The examiner will ask you to COMPARE the photos AND SAY something about them. Study these examples from past exams: Compare the photographs and say why they have chosen to travel in this way. Compare the photographs and say why you think the people are talking. Compare the photographs and say what the people are enjoying about doing these things. See the pattern? So the first thing you should learn is how to compare things, and make sure you answer the second part of the question.

Common Mistakes

Most FCE students describe the photos. Nobody asked you to describe them! You are asked to compare - there's a big difference. Describing has ONE element - This man is riding a bike. Comparing has TWO elements - This picture shows a man riding a bike while this one shows a motorbike.If you forget a word or make a mistake, don't worry. Just keep talking. You have to talk for one minute. Mistakes are normal. Keep going!How about an example?Compare the two photos and say what might be good or bad for the people traveling in these ways.

BAD: There is a man riding a bicycle. He has a helm. Um... helm. Hat? Helmhat? Helmet! Yes, he has a helmet. This man is on a motor bicycle. There is a yellow taxi behind him. Um... I finished. (Problems: described the photos - didn't compare - wasted time on one word - didn't say what might be good or bad.)

GOOD: Both pictures show men on their own. In the picture on the top there's a man on a bicycle while in the other picture he's got a motorbike. In the first photo he's out in the countryside somewhere, maybe in Scandinavia. In contrast, this man is in a city and it looks quite dusty and polluted. Here in the first image, though, we can see it looks clean and the air seems fresh. I think there are good things about traveling by bicycle - it's good exercise and it's very healthy. And cheap! On the other hand, riding a motorbike doesn't give any health benefits and it's much more expensive because you have to buy petrol. What about the downsides of the bicycle? I suppose it isn't very safe because cars don't respect you. But that's the same on the motorbike sometimes. Oh, the bike is quite slow - much slower than the motorbike. That's the really good thing about the motorbike - the speed, and it's easy to find a parking space!

Practice

It's easy to practice - you just need two photos on a similar theme. Make sure they have people in. I just typed the word 'travel' into google image search. The first two photos are PERFECT:

They've both got two people, but the first one looks like two friends and in the other it looks like a couple. The first shows a trip to the countryside while the second is in a city. What sort of question would the examiner ask? Compare the two photos and ... say what is good and bad about these types of holidays say what the people are looking at and why say why they have chosen this sort of holiday. Easy, right? Now you know how to make your own exam-style questions, you can practice whenever you want.

Let's say student B was given the photos from part 4. He would talk for one minute, and then the examiner would ask you a question about the photos. Something simple like: Which of these holidays would you prefer? You should talk for about 30 seconds. How many sentences can you say in half a minute. Three? Four? Let's say you can say three sentences in 30 seconds. You could say something like this: Well, that's a very difficult question because I like both types of holiday. It's very interesting going somewhere outside of the city because I like to get some fresh air and see some dramatic things. But probably my first choice would be to go to a city, because there are also nice things to see but then I can get an ice cream whenever I want.

Have you ever played chess with a clock? You make your move, hit the button, your clock stops ticking and your partner's clock starts. It would be very useful to have one of these clocks while practicing this part of the exam. At the end you should both have spoken about the same amount of time. (Of course 5 or 10 seconds difference is no big deal.) Another way to think of it is like a tennis practice - you hit the ball to your partner with the goal of playing for as long as possible. You will get a good grade if you ask questions and react to what the other student says. You will get a bad grade if you are selfish, don't listen, or try to monopolise the conversation.

There's normally no need to worry about this. First, you can find a speaking test partner and register for the exam together. Then you will know who your speaking test partner will be. Problem solved. Second, if you do end up with an aggressive speaking partner, you will have lots of time in parts 1, 2, and 4 to show your speaking skills. In part 3, try your best to politely interrupt and to be sociable - the examiners will notice and you will gain points while the other student is losing them. If your partner is too shy, just give them opportunities to talk as normal, wait a few seconds for an answer, then answer them yourself if needed. You know - exactly what you would do in your own language

it doesn't matter - it's all about opinions. There are no right or wrong answers, only good or bad discussions. If you disagree, explain why. Try to persuade your partner that your way is right. But also, when your partner says something good, react. 'Oh, that's a good point, I hadn't thought of that.'

Cambridge are only interested in the quality of the discussion and the quality of your language (your grammar and vocabulary). You won't lose points if you say something crazy like: “We shouldn’t build new parks because tourists hate green spaces. We should build more concrete buildings if we want to attract more tourists.” In fact, those sentences are relevant to the task (providing parks is one of the 5 topics) and there's some good vocabulary.

The best solution has to be something that's right for teenagers, their parents, and the elderly. Right? - Absolutely. - So I think maybe providing parks will bring the most tourists because they will have a place to relax, especially in Summer. - And as you said, it's something for people of all ages. You see how starting with something that isn't the best leads to a better conversation?

How about this:- I think the answer definitely isn't putting up security cameras. It might make some people feel safer but mostly it's just ugly and maybe people will think the city isn't so safe if there is such a need for cameras. What do you think?

• Look at the examiner when you give your answer, but then look at your partner when you are talking to each other.
• Always explain your answers. 'Yes I think having computers in schools is a good idea because the children get used to using technology and it will make it easier for them to get a job in the future.' If you don't explain your answers, the examiner will always ask 'why?' It's much better if you say why on your own.

2. Top Tips

15min

SPEAKING

• 'I don't know' is a BAD answer. You can say, 'Oh, what a question! I never thought about it before, but maybe...' That gives you a little bit of time to think of something to say.

• Be interested in what your partner says. Agree or disagree with them as in part 3. There are no right or wrong answers, only good or bad conversations. You can practice this if you're taking an FCE course - in the class always ask your partner's opinions on topics and always ask 'why?'
• Use some interesting vocabulary, and try to use a variety of words. e.g. instead of 'good' you might say amazing;interesting;costly;over-rated or another word you have learned. All those words fit in this sentence: 'Giving iPads to schoolchildren is a(n) ______________ idea.'
• When the exam is over, say goodbye but don't ask how well you did. They aren't allowed to tell you and it just puts them in an embarrassing situation. Also, don't start laughing or speaking your own language until you have left the room - it's not a job interview but there's no reason to make a bad impression.
