​SPEAKING PART 1

​10 SHORT INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

​(4-5MINS)

​

Advice: give a direct answer and a reason!!!!

​REASONS

​Time: In part 1 of the speaking test, the examiner must ask around 10 questions in only 4 to 5 minutes. Examiners want to hear your answer and then move on to the next question. If you keep talking, the examiner will interrupt you.

​REASONS

​What is being tested: Part 1 of the speaking test is supposed to be an easy, informal interview. Examiners want to hear direct answers to simple questions (e.g. “What’s your favourite colour?”), and they are mainly judging your overall fluency and basic accuracy at this stage. If you’re trying to construct full-paragraph answers, you’ll probably end up sounding less fluent and less accurate.

​To sum up

direct answer + reason would be the best choice
