 ORAL GUIDELINES

PART 1: Personal information

Exam facts

• In this part, the examiner asks you questions about yourself.

• The questions are usually about your name, where you come from, your hobbies, where you study or
work, etc.
• You only speak to the examiner. You don’t speak to the other student.

Exam tips

• Answer with more than one word. For example, if the examiner asks you ‘Where do you come from?’,
say ‘I come from Italy’ and not just ‘Italy’. Also, try to give examples for your answer.
• The examiner will ask you to spell your surname. Make sure you know how to spell it in English.
• Listen carefully to the examiner’s questions. If you don’t understand something, ask them to repeat it.
• For the last question, the examiner will ask you to speak about one thing, for example your family or your
hobbies. Try to say three things when you answer this type of question.

Part 4: Picture description

Exam tips
When describing the photograph…

• Describe what you can see in the photo for about a minute.
• Summarise what is in the photo and then describe what you can see in more detail.
• Describe who you can see, where they are and what they are doing. You can also
describe the clothes they are wearing and any objects you can see.
• Make sure you know how to describe position - for example, on the left, on the right,
above, below, etc.
• Imagine you’re speaking to someone who cannot see the photograph. This will help
you describe it clearly.

If you don’t know or can’t remember an exact word – don’t worry! There are lots of things you can do to
communicate without saying the exact word. These are very useful strategies that even native speakers use.

If you can’t remember the word ‘surgeon’, you could say a more general word like ‘doctor’.

If you don’t know the word ‘cutlery’, you could give examples such as ‘knife, fork and spoon’.

(It’s a person who ... / thing that ... / place where ... )

If you don’t know the word ‘briefcase’, you could say ‘It’s a thing that people use to carry papers to work’.

If you don’t know the word ‘scissors’, you could say ‘They are used to cut paper’ or ‘They are used for cutting
paper’.

This strategy works well with objects that have a clear use or function.

If you don’t know the word ‘tiny’, you could say ‘very small’.

This strategy works well with nouns and adjectives.

If you don’t know the word ‘weak’, you could say ‘not strong’.

This strategy works well with adjectives.

If you don’t know the word ‘bungalow’, you could say ‘It’s a kind of house’ or ‘It’s a sort of house’.

READING. Read this text and do Task A and Task B

FREEGANS AGAINST SUPERMARKET WASTE

It is World Food Day on 16th October so the local freegan group is organising protest actions against food waste.
Who are we?
We, freegans, believe that it is wrong to throw food away when millions of people are hungry. We get most of our food from
supermarket waste bins because we want to draw attention to this unacceptable food waste scandal.
The facts
Over one third of all food supplies end up as waste and much of this waste occurs before food reaches the shops. Supermarkets
can force farmers to throw up to 40% of their crops if they are imperfect – not all the same size or not looking nice. A UK survey
has shown that each year our shops waste over six million tonnes of food and a lot of it is perfectly safe to eat.
What we want
We aren’t against supermarkets, we just want them to change their insensitive attitude and reduce all this unnecessary waste.
They should 1) say exactly how much food they throw away and reduce it; 2) give the food to charities which distribute it to
poor people; 3) sell fruit and vegetables that don’t look perfect.
What you can do
Supermarkets won’t change if only a few people protest. If we all boycott the supermarkets, they’ll listen to us, You’ll find more
information and an online petition if you look on our website. We need support for our campaign. Become a volunteer or spread
the word. Come to the public meeting and share your ideas.
