C1 Advanced Speaking Part 3 - Practice
In this section, you'll find a variety of different questions taken from official C1 Advanced preparation material.
Part 3 of the Speaking Test is a collaborative task with your partner.
You get about 15 seconds to read everything.
You discuss the diagram and the options with your partner for 2 minutes.
When the 2 minutes are over, the examiner will stop you.
The examiner will ask you another question. Usually they will ask you to pick the best, or most important thing out of the options.
You discuss that question for another minute and choose an answer to the examiner’s question.
Learn strategies for this section here.
The examiner:
Here are some things that people often have to make decisions about 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 what people might have to consider when making these decisions.
The examiner:
Thank you. Now you have about a minute to decide in which situation is the most important to make the right decision.

For part 4, you will need to talk about topics from part 3 in more detail with your partner.
Either you or your partner will be asked a question. Respond to the question and give your opinion. Then ask your partner what they think. You don’t have to do this last step - if you don’t, the examiner will do it, but it’s better to be proactive and simply ask them yourself.
Then, discuss the question with the other candidate(s) until you either run out of things to say, or out of time. The examiner will ask more questions as needed.
You should respond to your partner's answers, and you should ask for their opinions about your answers.
