1st question / request

This box shows your time remaining. It also shows how loud you are speaking. Speak clearly, but don’t shout. The zig-zag line shows how loud your voice is.

2nd question

3rd question

You have 45 seconds to describe the picture. Try to keep talking for the whole time. You’ll get more marks if your answer has a clear structure with an introductory sentence and a conclusion.

2nd question. More challenging. Often requires analysis or evaluation.

3rd question. Notice that the example requires personalisation – you talk about something personal to you.

The two pictures will be linked in some way. Can you see what these two pictures have in common?

2nd question. Notice the use of ‘would’. It’s asking you to imagine or hypothesise about a situation.

3rd question. Again, ‘would’ is used. But this time you have to make a choice and provide a reason for your choice.

In part 4, you should not describe the photograph. It’s just a visual aid.

Choose what you’re going to talk about quickly. Make as many notes as you can. Don’t try to write sentences.

Part 4 is the most challenging part of the exam, and is designed to distinguish between B2 and C levels. You’ll need to talk for the full 2 minutes and provide a well-structured, coherent answer to get top marks!

Good luck!
