Speaking Test Advice
==========
This is the fun part of the test, for many reasons. You get to rest before it, you are a
little tired from previous 3 parts and therefore more relaxed. The examiners are
trained to smile no matter what, so you feel as if you were speaking to your best
friend.
============
First sub-part of Speaking test is an interview, which means that the examiner asks
you questions about yourself, your work, studies, parents, brothers/sisters, pets, etc.
This is an easy task to prepare for.(one to two sentences will be enough, however you can speak more if you are very confident, but I prefer not. Notice that if the examiner needs any details he will ask you so don't focus on giving details)
=============
In the second sub-part of Speaking test you receive a card with 3-4 questions. After
one minute, that you have to think about something to say, you should give a little
speech for one to two minutes, which answers those questions. In the end the
examiner might ask you a couple of additional questions.
=============
In the third sub-part of the test you have a discussion with examiner. The topic is
somehow related to the one from section two, but it is about more abstract ideas. You
have to express and justify an opinion(Try to speak not less than 3 to 5 sentence, however the examiner may stop you to ask about something as this is a 2 way discussion).
==============
The examiner will record your session on tape. Don't worry about it; the tape is to test
the examiner and not you
