PET for Schools. Paper 3: Speaking

What’s in the Speaking Test? Part 1: You answer the examiner’s questions about yourself and give your opinions. Part 2. You talk about a situation with your partner. There is a page of pictures to help you. Part 3: You describe a photograph on your own. (Your partner will talk about a different photograph on the same topic.)

Part 4: You tell your partner what you think about a topic and find out what he or she thinks about it minutes per pair of candidates

PART 1: Interview TIP: The examiner asks you for your name and other personal details, then asks you more general questions about yourself. Make your answers interesting by giving reasons for what you say and keep talking until the examiner tells you to stop.

EXAMINER: What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

CANDIDATE: I like to spend time with my friends. Sometimes we go to the cinema, but ususally they come to my house because it’s near our school. We usually listen to music or play computer games. But they don’t stay very long. We have a lot of homework to do. That’s why we don’t spend more time together. EXAMINER: What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

EXAMINER. Do you think that English will be useful for you in the future?

CANDIDATE: Yes, I think English will be useful for me in the future. Nearly everyone in my country studies English because it’s an iternational language. You need English for all kinds of work and I’m studying English so that I can get a good job in the future. EXAMINER. Do you think that English will be useful for you in the future?

EXAMINER: Do you enjoy studying English?

CANDIDATE: Yes, I usuallly enjoy it, but not all the time. I like talking to my friends in English and we have a really good teacher. Some things that we study, like the different tenses, are quite difficult and I don’t like that so much. But it’s fun when we can listen to English songs and understand the words. EXAMINER: Do you enjoy studying English?

EXAMINER: What did you do last weekend?

CANDIDATE: It was just a normal weekend really. I’m a member of a swimming club and on Saturday I went to my swimming lesson. After that I met my friends and we went shopping together. On Sunday I spent most of the day with my family. We went to visit my grandparents and we stayed there most of the afternoon and had dinner with them. EXAMINER: What did you do last weekend?

Part 2: Collaborative task TIP: Talk about all the ideas in the pictures first, and then at the end you can decide which is the best idea. Say why each picture is a good idea or a bad idea, and give your reasons. Don’t choose the best idea too quickly because you need to keep talking for 2-3 minutes.

EXAMINER: I’m going to describe a situation for you. A group of friends is going to visit two museums in NY. Talk together and decide which means of transport would be better for them to use.

Part 2: Collaborative task TIP: Remember to say what you think about the ideas, and to ask for your partner’s opinion as well. Remember that the examiner repeats the instructions in Part 2, so don’t worry if you don’t understand them the first time.

Part 3: Long turn The examiner will tell you what the photos are about, and will give each of you a different one about the same topic. TIP: You need to describe everything you can see in the photograph. You can talk about the people, what they are doing and what they are wearing. You should also describe the place and the things you can see there.

TIP: As well as describing what you can see in the photograph, you should also say what you think is true (guess /imagine…)

Part 4: Discussion TIP: In this part you should have a normal conversation with your partner. You can say what you think, but you also need to find out what your partner thinks. It is important to ask for your partner’s opinions and to react to what he or she says.

EXAMINER. Your photographs showed people studying in different places. Now, I’d like you to talk together about where you like to study and the best time of day for studying.

A: Well, I prefer studying somewhere on my own because I don’t like studying in a group. I think a quiet place, like my room, is good. What about you? Do you think it’s best to study alone? B: I’m not sure. I think you can learn in groups too because other people can help you if you don’t understand something. A: I suppose so. But I still prefer to work alone in my room. B: I agree that your own room is a good place to study but I also like studying in places like the library where you can work with your friends. One thing I don’t like is studying when there’s really loud music on. A: Me too. That’s terrible – especially my brother’s music! And what about the time of day? Do you prefer the morning or the evening? B: I think the morning is the best time to study because you can get more done then, In the evening you need to chill out! A: On, I don’t agree. I find it easier to work in the evening. It takes me a long time to wake up in the morning. B: Well, everyone’s different.

Remember that there are no right or wrong opinions. It is the language you use that matters.

General TIPS for Speaking 1 Listen to the examiner’s instructitons carefully and ask if you don’t understand. 2 Always speak clearly so that the examiners can hear you. 3 Don’t worry if you make a grammatical mistake. You can still get a good mark if you make mistakes. 4 Try to have a normal conversation. React to what the examiner and your partner say to you.

5 Don’t worry if the examiner stops you before you have finished everything that you want to say. It’s because the test is carefully timed. 6 Say what you think, but give your partner time to talk too and show interest in what your partner says. 7. Relax, and try not to be too nervous.
