Thank you! This is the end of part three. Let’s now move on to the last part of the test, part
four.
 Part 4 – Picture Description and Discussion

Part 4: “Picture Description and Discussion”. In this part of the test, you will tell me what you
can see in this picture (show the picture to the test taker) and what you think is happening in
it. After that, I will ask you some questions. (Pause) Look at the picture carefully. You may take
a few moments to think before you start talking.

Please describe this picture to me. If necessary: - What do you think was happening

What do you think happened before this picture was taken?

What do you think these people gere doing before this picture was taken?

What do you think was happening before this picture was taken?

Can you create a short story based on this picture? Use your imagination

Now imagine that this picture has just been taken: - What do you think will happen

next?
4) What are the possible complications of a runway excursion for the airport?

5) What situations can bring about a runway excursion?

6) Now, I am going to read a statement to you and then you will have to tell me to what extent
you agree or disagree with it.

“A runway excursion can cause a lot of fatalities and can easily be avoided if the pilots decide
to go around instead of landing.”

Ok, thank you! So this is the end of the test. Thank you very much for coming.
