FEEDBACK FROM OUR RECENT MOCK EXAMS
OUR YOUNG TEENAGE STUDENTS WERE QUITE NERVOUS IN THE ORAL PET EXAM AS THEY HAD NEVER BEEN IN A FORMAL EXAM SITUATION BEFORE WITH AN UNKNOWN EXAMINER ( TEACHER)
PET B1
SPEAKING EXAM
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO SPELL YOUR SURNAME..PRACTICE TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CONFUSE THE VOWELS!!!
DON'T WORRY OR GET NERVOUS IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE ..KEEP GOING!
REMEMBER YOU CAN LIE!!! IF YOU GO BLANK INVENT SOME HOBBIES OR USE ADJECTIVES THAT YOU KNOW EVEN IF IT IS NOT WHAT YOU REALLY THINK.
INTERACT WITH YOUR PARTNER.SHOW INTEREST IN WHAT SHE/ HE IS SAYING . KNOW HOW TO ASK FOR OPINIONS AND TO REACT TO THEM.
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO AGREE AND DISAGREE?TRY TO KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING .
REMEMBER PRESENT CONTINUOUS WHEN YOU ARE DESCRIBING WHAT THEY ARE DOING OR WEARING.
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR MODALS. IT COULD /MAY/ MIGHT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO YOUR MARK IN THE ORAL EXAM.
PREPOSITIONS..IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PHOTO..AT THE TOP ..IN THE CORNER ETC ETC ..THIS HELPS IF YOU RUN OUT OF THINGS TO SAY!
WHY NOT SAY WHAT YOU THINK OF THE PHOTO ...IT'S A LOVELY PICTURE OF A FAMILY HAVING LUNCH
IT'S A DEPRESSING/BORING PHOTO OF A CITY
