FCE Speaking test. Yes you can!!!!!


Some of you will have to take the FCE this year. This exam is divided in 5 parts where you have to prove thay you speak well and you are an effective communicator, apart from showing your writing, reading and listening skills.
When preparing the speaking part you have to take into account the following:
It is divided in 4 parts:
1 - a simple questionnaire between each candidate and the examiner.
2 - a turn of 1 minute each of the candidates to describe the 2 photos given to them.
3 - dialogue betweeen the candidates to describe together and talk about the pictures given
4 - discussion between the candidates.
On the whole the speaking test lasts 15 minutes.

You have to try to give full answers to the examiner´s questions and prove that you have strategies to make yourself understood and keep the communicative channel open. It is also very important that you listen to the instructions carefully and you know what the topic is and what you are being asked! When you talk to your partner you must show that you are collaborative and that you use strategies, formulae and you know how to negotiate meaning to make yourself understood.

Here you have some samples of a speaking test.
