PET ( oral test)

Hi! I'm going to focus on the speaking exam this term. So that's why we are going to watch a lot of videos related to the PET exam.

 I remind you this test consists of 4 parts which last about 12 minutes altogether.

 1st part: personal questions, such as "spell your surname", the things you like doing, your hobbies, family, etc.

 2nd part: you talk to your partner. You have to give your opinion, show you can make suggestions, give reasons, agree or disagree with the other person. You will be shown a picture with some ideas. Remember you have to talk about all the things that are on that paper. Don't stay quiet, talk. There isn't a correct answer, just give your reasons and opinion.

 3rd part: you will be given a picture which you'll have to describe to your partner. Although your partner will be looking at your picture while you are describing it, think as if he wasn't.

 4th part: you'll talk together again. This time about the topic related to the picture in part 3.

 I'm posting some videos. Sorry for the accent, a bit strong, but I couldn't find different clips to the ones I
showed you last month.

 

 Don't worry about the oral test ( you'll do great). We'll practice this kind of test in class.
