1. Tell the class an interesting and true fact about yourself, e.g. Im getting married
in the autumn/Ive just taken an exam/I was really worried last week/etc.
2. Pause, and hopefully someone will ask you a follow-up question.
3. Answer it, and explain that asking questions is a very important part of the
speaking skill.
4. Write the following sentences on the board:
I never eat breakfast.
Im writing an important email.
I hate flying.
My mother is in the USA.
5. Tell students that they have to think of at least three questions for each piece
of information. N.B.If necessary, give them prompt words like why/what/how
long?/etc.
6. Divide the students into groups of four. One person in the group says one
of the sentences on the board and the other three have to ask them
questions. The person then has to invent answers and create a situation or
story: a sort
of role play.
7. When students have had enough time for each person to make a statement,
ask for some group feedback which was the strangest/funniest situation?

Handout 6 Part 2 Comparing photos FCE
1 Timing
Procedure
1. Students work in pairs. Student A is given a Part 2 task. They should describe
the first photograph for 1015 seconds, then move to the second photograph
and say what is similar and what is different from the first. Allow 1520 seconds
for this. Finally, student A addresses the task written above the photographs,
all the time mentioning similarities and differences. There will be approximately
2530 seconds left for this.2. Student B times student A, indicating when each block of time is up.
3. Students swap roles, and repeat the activity with a second pair of photographs.
Feedback
It is a good idea to practise this regularly to give your students a better feel forthe timing they should be able to gauge the amount of time to spend on each
photograph, and on the question. This will increase their confidence regardingPart 2 of the paper.
