If you didn't attend class, you should know that we did a speaking practice, using two model exams similar to the ones that could appear in the actual exam. We also spoke about how you must do this exam (what we expect from you), and also about strategies and techniques.
So, we spent some time performing the task and I gave you the choice to do the task in public next week. Don't think of it as a frightening experience but as a chance to see what you can do under a bit of pressure. If you start learning now how to control your nerves, then the day of the exam, you won't get so shocked. Plus, we all know each other already, and you mustn't worry about possible mistakes or nerves. We can learn a lot from other people, both good and bad things, and this way we can improve.
- Speaking models. There are two different cards, with different pictures and questions. Choose the one you like the best.
- Speaking tips. In this document you have some tips, strategies and useful language. Remember that you don't need the expressions for interacting with another person, such as "agreeing" or "asking for an opinion", because the exam is individual.
Good luck!
