At this level the topics that candidates are expected to discuss arerelated to their immediate environment (family, friends, work/studies, hobbies/interests) and to cognitively familiar situations (e.g. leisure activities, environmental issues, personal characteristics etc).

SECTION8 THESPEAKINGTESTPROCEDURE
Throughout the exam, there are two assessors and two candidates in the exam room. Both assessors evaluate the candidate and fill in both parts of the Oral ProductionEvaluationForm. The assessor who has the role of Evaluator 1 sits on the side and is silent. S/he listens, observes, takes notes, and rates each candidates performance on the spot,usingtheOralProductionEvaluationForm. The assessor who has the role of Examiner is the one who sits facing the two candidates and who conducts the test, interacting with them. S/he rates candidateswhentheyhavelefttheexamroom.So,besidesbeingtheExaminer, s/hehastheroleofEvaluator2. Thecandidatesareexaminedinpairs The candidates take turns in doing the required task first. This means that if candidateAisthefirstoneaskedtorespondtothequestionsofActivity1,itis candidateBthatisaskedtobeginActivity2andcandidateAthatisaskedtobegin Activity3andsoon.
