Tips for the speaking exam

Remember you are going to take the exam in groups of 2 or 3 people and there are two taks:

• TASK 1 : a short speech about a given topic. Pay attention to all the points you have to deal with. While preparing the speech, think about what grammar points you should use and revise the vocabulary you need there. Mind the entonation to avoid being boring.
• TASK 2: you should get an agreement about a topic. Don't be too pushy and let the other people speak. Address to the others to ask for information, explanations, opinions, etc. When you say something try to explain your point of view in different ways, giving examples, talking about your experience and so on.

Take into account not only grammar but entonation and fluency; don't rush but don't be silent, either. Try to use a variety of structures, tenses and vocabulary to enrich your speaking part.
