In Part 2 (responding to pictures) candidates tend to simply compare and contrast the pictures without listening to all parts of the task. The secondpart of the task usually begins ‘and say what/why/how ….. , so try not to forgetthat part as well!
A similar problem in Part 3 (doing a task with your partner) is not carrying out the task fully. (If you haven’t understood what you are supposed to discuss then you may ask the examiner to repeat his/her instructions.)
To get top marks in this section you need to be able to do the following things:- take a full part in the discussion- express your own opinions clearly- listen to your partner’s opinions and develop their comments- disagree with your partner (where necessary) in a friendly and polite manner
Above all, try and enjoy the Speaking Paper. It’s your chance to show the examiners how well you can communicate in English
