Now you will listen to "real"
students taking the Speaking test. We did not
publish the audio transcriptions as – at this stage
of the CPE course – you should be able to understand
what the students are being asked and what they are
commenting. Listen carefully while you check the
five questions below.
1.
Is there
anything you would like to change in you life? Why?
2.
Have you
ever done something which involved a major change?
If yes, what effect did it have on you?
3.
What
major changes have occurred in your country in your
lifetime?
4.
What
changes would you like to see being made in your
country?
5.
How do
you feel about change in general?
Do you welcome it or fear it?
HOW TO DO THE
SPEAKING TEST
1.
Listen to the questions carefully and
give clear, direct answers. If appropriate, include a few extra
details, or a reason for an answer you give.
2.
Try to relax. Look confidently at the
examiner and smile a little when you answer the questions.
3.
Take the opportunity to show how
fluently you can speak.
4.
Don't prepare answers before you do the
exam, but do make sure that you know the vocabulary you will need to
talk about the topics that are likely to come up.
