B2 First Speaking Part 3 - Practice

This is a collaborative task with your partner.

1. 1. You get about 15 seconds to read everything.
  2. You discuss the diagram and the options with your partner for 2 minutes.
  3. When the 2 minutes are over, the examiner will stop you.
  4. The examiner will ask you another question. Usually they will ask you to pick the best, or most important thing out of the options.
  5. You discuss that question for another minute and choose an answer to the examiner’s question.

The examiner:

Here are common pastime activities and a question for you to discuss. First you have some time to look at the task. [15 seconds]

Now, talk to each other about why people find these activities enjoyable.

The examiner:

Thank you. Now you have a minute to decide which 2 activities are the hardest to do.

For part 4, you will need to talk about topics from part 3 in more detail with your partner.

The questions always end in "why". If you don't answer the "why", the examiner will ask you.

You should answer the question, and then invite your partner to answer or give their opinion, as well.

You should respond to your partner's answers, and you should ask for their opinions about your answers.
