Speaking

SPEAKING (16 minutes)

There are two examiners. One (the interlocutor) conducts the test, providing you with the
necessary materials and explaining what you have to do. The other examiner (the assessor) will be
introduced to you, but then takes no further part in the interaction.

Part 1 (2 minutes)
The interlocutor first asks you and your partner a few questions which focus on information about
yourselves.

Part 2 (4 minutes)
In this part of the test you and your partner are asked to talk together. The interlocutor places a
set of pictures on the table in front of you. There may be only one picture in the set oras many
as seven pictures. This stimulus provides the basis for a discussion. The interlocutor first asks an
introductory question which focuses on two of the pictures (or in the case of a single picture, on
aspects of the picture). After about a minute, the interlocutor gives you both a decision-making
task based on the same set of pictures.
The pictures for Part 2 are on page C2 of the colour section.

Part 3 (1 O minutes)
You are each given the opportunity to talk for two minutes, to comment after your partner has
spoken and to take part in a more general discussion.
The interlocutor gives you a card with a question written on it and asks you to talk about it for
two minutes. After you have spoken, the interlocutor asks you both another question related to the
tapie on the card, addressing your partner first. This procedure is repeated, so that your partner
receives a card and speaks for two minutes anda follow-up question is asked.
Finally, the interlocutor asks sorne further questions, which lead to a discussion on a general
theme related to the subjects already covered in Part 3.
The cards for Part 3 are on pages C6-C7 of the colour section.
